Is the Flower
You've got to let grow.

John Lennon.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Feeling
Every move inside herself
Movements that were so strange
A life, a body, was being made
She had fears of this creative change,
Not knowing
Which way to turn or sit
So many body changes
Making her feel so weak and sick
It's to be her last, never again!
No more days or nights
Of feeling alsorts of pains.

But
At the end, end of your travail
When
Life's escaped and into your arms
It lies with its cheek against your breast
You look down
You smile
You love
You're elated to see
Your own flesh and blood you fought
And sweated to let free.

Holding close
Your offspring, your eyes
Begin to rain
Then
A sudden whisper comes from your
Mouth...
' My baby, you were well Worth the pain!'

Depression is not a phase

This is a point i want to raise

Sufferers, do not seek attention

As the stigma likes to mention

Its a mental condition

Just as harmful as an addiction

Listen

And take it serious

*Depression is not a phase
~ my generation have degraded depression from being a mental illness to a way of seeking attention and the seriousness of the condition seems to have been lost an them (myself being part of this group)

Id like to re establish the seriousness that it actaully holds

I know
All
I need to know...
I learned it
Being a child...
Feeling
The profound
Innocence
Which
Nothing
Past or present
Can
Destroy.

Nature
Embraces me...

Light does
Too.

And, just let me say,
I ain' t better
Than YOU!

Eloi
I found your tshirt on my bedroom floor, it's the only evidence that you've been here before.

I don't get waves of missing you anymore, they're more like tsunami tides in my eyes.

Never getting dry,
So I get high,
Smoke away the days, never sleep with the light on
Weeks pass in the blink of an eye
And I'm still drunk at the end of the night

I don't drink like everybody else
I do it to forget things about myself
Stumble and fall
With the head spin I got,
My mind's with you but my heart's just not

I Sleep with my thoughts
And I dance with my views.
Like our last kiss. It was perfect,
we were nervous on the surface.

And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it,
Pain is only relevant if it still hurts
I forget like an elephant
Or we can use a sedative
And go back to the day we fell in love just on our first kiss

But maybe I just fell in love when you woke me up.

Flowers make me...blossom!
Flowers emit the scent of optimism
Flowers and bees have the sweetest
Relationship.
Flowers, like children, should be left
To grow naturally
With the utmost tender Love and care.
Flowers are a visual feast!
Flowers Uplift , Inspire, Delight
A
Flower
Is a peek
Into Heaven.
Flowers
Are God's floral symphony.
Inspired by Tiffany's poem -  ' Please, Don't Pick That Flower ' which is beautiful! Please go and check it out fellow poets!

I extricated myself
From man's creation,
Disentangled myself
From the machines
And wires,
Walked
Off the concrete
Disrobing and discarding
The artificial attire,
Then
Stepped
Bare feet
Onto the grass
And,
Made my way
Back home.

(With a smile on my face.)
