Conversations at Dusk
Whatyoudon'tknow Jun 2023
I talked to the trees and they talked to me
I talked to the earth under the breeze
The wind spoke her songs to me
And I was within everything and all was in me
The sun and the moon showed me their spells
And within all creation, I was held
I understood the love of the land
And felt all creation in the palm of my hand
The world she poke and called me her own
And I found we were never alone

Together
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2022
Love me for all that I am
Love me for all that I am not
Darling wherever you find yourself
know that we're all we got
and if you ever find yourself in trouble
just call me there on the double
I know you see through me
and I see everything we will be
you're all that I want and all that I need
all that I could ever see
You were made for me

Love
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2022
If God does exist surely he made you and I
And if our hearts beat together in perfect time
surely we'll be together till the end of the line
Because I am loving you through all of time
know that we'll be together all our lives
You and I

God
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2022
God
And if god was a fractal would we be big or small?
Would we be able to tell where we were at all?
And if God was a woman could we coexist?
and know how we all came from one to exist?
If we came to know God for who God is
maybe we would know what love truly is
From nothing to this we get one experience
and if we don't use it we will never know the mysterious
We came from the void to love and to grow
through understanding, we can come to know
God who is a woman, a man, a fractal
God the One, the All.

Meditation
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2022
Come down into silence again
meet with the darkness within
through the void
the joyous ode
finding the light swirling with your breath
figures dance as the body sleeps
colors form as teas that seep
through the long forgotten memories
the present take- front and center, please
With ease, as time will slowly freeze
a place where God can finally speak
a brushing wind before the child's sleep
doting guidance from those above me
signs and symbols to set one free
and we will be one with eternity.

Somewhere
Whatyoudon'tknow Jan 2017
You know that feeling
That aching, rotting, empty
Pit in your stomach
Sickening and hollow pain
Numb anxiety
Brimming anger, lost reality
Secret anguish
Borderline Suicidal

Absence
Whatyoudon'tknow Jan 2017
My heart aches, tears fill my eyes
pain sinks within my soul, my fear brakes
Absence from you my spirit dies, falling into a black hole.

Empathy
Whatyoudon'tknow Jul 2016
I am the wood burnt and cracking,  my strength lacking.
I am the smoke swirling with the wind ,  my memories swirling reminders I have sinned.
I am the embers cackling and flickering, mymy fears and doubts bickering.
I am the flames hot and passionate, my love and rage full swelling lacking passiveness.
I am the ashes all that remains a memory of the heat and intensity, the end of our shared chemistry.

Choice
Whatyoudon'tknow Jul 2016
My situation does not define me
My past does not define me
I am who I choose to be.

Matter
Whatyoudon'tknow Jul 2016
I count, I matter
I am real and I feel
My problems matter
They count
Just because you don't see them
It doesn't mean they aren't there
My scars are still scars
My fears are still here
And these wounds have never healed
But I am still important
My reasons still count
And I still matter.
I swear...
I do

I am, I am not
Whatyoudon'tknow Dec 2015
I feel like I'm dying, without dying
I'm overly emotional without any emotion
I'm hurting without pain
I'm crying without tears
I'm bleeding without blood
I'm thinking without thought
My mind is full without being filled
I'm colored without color
I am without myself

Life
Whatyoudon'tknow Dec 2015
Drink me silly, slap me high
Sing me a bedtime lullaby
All alone with depression I lie
soon I'll be no more
And when you come knocking at my door
There will lie my body on the floor.
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2015
I think about it all the time.
I do it even when I'm not sad.
I hide it like a crime.
It's not a fashion fad.

I like the way it feels, looks, the relief
The sensation and satisfaction
But I hate the way it it brings greif
The after a the of the action

I do it all the time
Even when you take away the knife
I give no warning sign
I just don't want to lose my life

night
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2015
Lights, no lights
warm, not warm
pain, numbness
isolation, on display
I can't think straight.
Fallin from the social norm.
Noting eyes gaining awareness.
And I can't keep the darkness at bay.

Returns
Whatyoudon'tknow Dec 2014
The voices return
But you're nowhere in sight
no longer see what is wrong, what is right
I just can't seem to find the light
Voices scream I have no where to turn
Sparkling music plays
Nightmares become reality
Losing thoughts of my mortality
Just a small abnormality in my mentality
Please remind me of brighter days
I want them to leave
But it scares me when they go
And I know I have nothing to show
It's real please don't go
Don't leave me alone to grieve
I need you now
Just save me somehow.

Meets the Eye
Whatyoudon'tknow Nov 2014
I hope it rains tonight I'm gonna cry
I know no one sees but there's more to me
Than meets the eye
I want to cut, scream, overdose don't ask me
Why I cant take the pain I feel inside
They tell me be happy don't know I try
Maybe I'll jump to see if I can fly
Cuz every smile, every laugh is a lie
I know hard to believe there's more to me
Than meets the eye.

Quite the Pair
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2014
I'm a desperate, pathetic, lonely fool.
You're mean, sadistic and cruel.
I'm naïve and over trusting.
You're heartless and merely lusting.
I'm crying.
You're lying.
I'm in pain.
You're vain.
I'm done.
You're having fun.
Just leave me please.
Put my heart at ease.
But I care.
Don't you know we're quite the pair.
*co written with my cousin*

Is love a lie?
Whatyoudon'tknow Sep 2014
Is this love or is it lust?
Are you the person, the one,
that my heart can trust?
Fit perfect in my rhyme?
So scarred I can not tell,
an angel like you sublime
from a demon in my mind.
Could it be true someone,
You could love someone like me?
Then I hear a soft whisper
...Yes

See the eye, the ******, little eye
See the puddle, the ******, little puddle
See the eye in the middle of the muddle of the ******, little puddle
See the eye, oh, that's right that's your eye
See the puddle, your ****** little puddle
See your are in the middle of the muddle of your warm, ******, little puddle.

Symphony
Whatyoudon'tknow Jul 2014
I hear drums, late at night pulsing intense beats
      I hear violins, sad yet eerie and drown in dark
            I hear the piano, it cries of the night ahead
                  No one hears them, just me... My own private symphony.
Written in metronome of 13 syllables. Please dramatic emphasis in style of reading for best effect.

Monster
Whatyoudon'tknow Apr 2014
Darkness falls and I am not the same
Pain finally shows a shattered heart
Lost I know not who I am come dusk
Here my eyes open to the real me
The me I don't wish to be tonight
Nevertheless I raise my razor
I am not myself not anymore
I fade to the back the monster's here
No this is me I promise, promise
Let go, let go I want to scream out
But it's no use this is the real me
I am nothing accept the monster
Nightmares becoming reality
I accept these terrible truths
As dawn rises and the monster sleeps
He rests, for now but when night falls again...
The monster and I become friends

Whispered the Walls
Whatyoudon'tknow Mar 2014
Come closer child, and listen to us
Come now, hurry don't make a fuss
We'll tell you our tale
We've rehearsed it quite well,
I come wary, cautious of their trick,
and sit and listen to each little brick
Each tells me of journeys long ago and lands afar
Each shows me their every scar.
Some are  dressed finely in scarlety red
Others a pale orange from toe to head
But each ones pleas end the same
Cry out for me by name.
Don't let them destroy us they whisper to me
But I cannot argue with the state's decree
We've fought maany battles they cry
against paint, evil smoke, disease, please don't let us die/
But once again, same reply to their pleas
I cannot argue with what thee state decrees.

The ocean that is my life
Whatyoudon'tknow Mar 2014
My small boat rocked by the waves
Rain pelting, bruising, soaking my skin
Winds gnashing, sharp teeth show their grin
Taking us to jour lonely graves

I scream aloud sinking down
As I start to think there's no hope
I touch the tip of my rescue rope
Then fishers look at me with a frown

This ain't no fish, his hate in the air
I notice the hook on my salvation
Realizing the miscommunication
He then throws me back in rising despair

Who knows what else is out in this ocean?
So here I am left in cruel darkness
The tempest just adding to my stress

Drown in emotion, lost in commotion
Then hearing a voice say this to shall pass
Afloat, no boat, waiting for this to pass
Feeling each motion, what's in this notion?

Floating through the ocean that is my life.

Down
Whatyoudon'tknow Feb 2014
Don't ask why, I can't explain
WHY it is that I am filled with this pain
I'm hurt and I am angry
Frustration floods my veins, boiling my blood
Tears threaten like a flash flood
The stress, the tension floats to the surface
This dance, I feel like a clown
Don't ask me why, but today I am down.

Ruined Rep.
Whatyoudon'tknow Feb 2014
One would think that leaving is a bad thing
But leaving oft gives a sense of safety
It all started as a bit of a fling
Now I am not feeling quite so bravely
I hear the whispers they are everywhere
I can feel the stares and hostile glares
I just want to live my life without care
But hear I am drowning in my own tears
Trying to piece it all back together
I'm drowning rising in my fears.
 Of my soon to be ruined reputation

Irrisistable Urge
Whatyoudon'tknow Jan 2014
It's late, you hear it calling you. It's dark, and you're alone.
Tension builds. Impulse throbs just beneath the surface.
You want it, you want it badly.
It's like a wildfire thirst you need to quench.
Like frostbite slowly pulling you under.
You want to scream, beg it to stop.
As it continues to gnash at you, burn you, tempt you.
And it would seem to be the irresistible urge.

Relief Rushes through me Relishing in pure
Excitement it's Extraordinary and for a moment I'm Exempt then
Down crashing in a Downward spiral Dare I repeat?

Fire
Whatyoudon'tknow Jan 2014
It lashes out at me
burning with every touch
my eyes glazed as I watch
orange and red flames
dancing before me
suffocated but too dazed to leave
Slowly slipping into the warmth
I close my eyes
Darkness sweeping through me
I allow the flames envelope me
*Lost notebook, needs revision*
Got my new laptop more soon

The Walls
Whatyoudon'tknow Nov 2013
High, proud, and made for all
But it has come to my attention
That it may be that
All the things, the walls
That create our safety and our paradise
Are the same walls that create our damnation and hell.

Secrets
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2013
A kiss befalls my lips
A touch of his hand
My breathing increasing
My heartbeat racing
I slide my hand down his chest
He brushes my bangs from my eyes
He kisses me again as his hands caress me
But no one knows, it's our little secret
Lust or love? Real or fake?
The truth I don't even care
I just want him to love me for one more second
one more touch one more time.

My Serpents
Whatyoudon'tknow Oct 2013
Three serpents hissing in my ear
they want me, haunt me, taunt me, tormenting me
The first he tells me everything I want to hear
"I love you, your beautiful, everything I want,
Let me love you, protect you, I'll be your prince."
His breath soft warm, the poison of his words seeping in

The second he swears he loves me
He longs to love me, but also to leave
He says he'd do anything for me, that he only wants me
He says I just need to love him. Trust him.
He tells me to wait till the day he comes back around.
He begs me to love him until he decides to love me.

The third hisses harshly "Don't be a fool!
They will only use you. To the first you are an object
and you will never be anything more. The other,
he will never choose you. You will always be second best. You'll never be enough for him.
Don't be so naive! They only long to decieve you.
Her words cut like knives, ripping into me with sharp reality.

Face the reality or face your demise.
These three serpents hissing in my ear, But which one is right and which one is wrong?
Does it even matter? To which do I listen to and adhere?
After long, careful, thought, despite knowing better,
I disregard the third, for the truth truly hurts.
But she's still there hissing the harsh reality in my ear.

Oh, the me's
Whatyoudon'tknow Sep 2013
There are lot of me's for me to be
There are good me's and bad me's, happy and sad me's
But people want me to be happy me
For she's the best me to be
But happy me is tired, and doesn't want to play
She wants to sleep, stay in today
Sad me comes out to play
The me that likes it to rain all day
But they don't like that me they push her away
And she goes into hiding for another day
Stupid me comes out quite a lot
A me who's naïve when she aught not
Angry me wants to scream and to fight
Once again another me that's not right
Confused me begs to understand
Wondering if this was all planned
But there is also another me
The most me-e-est me a me could be
But that me must be kept out of sight
For like all the other me that me is not right
So happy me comes out everyones long time friend
She smiles and laughs but it's only pretend
She's still tired, still doesn't want to play
But she comes out anyway

The Underlying Rollercoaster
Whatyoudon'tknow Sep 2013
I'm flying up, spiraling down
feeling invincible, breaking down
I'm high, then low
'round the loop I go
flooded in passion, drown in pain
****** and love, hurt and distain
filled with joy, emptied to hate
rising up, to fall to my previous state
This rollercoaser going 'round and 'round
Lifting me up, to bring me back down

In The End
Whatyoudon'tknow Sep 2013
In the end we all die
imperfect mistaken, covered in sin, drown in the world
though we strugle, gasping, fightin we try
try to escape our inevitable fate
in the end we all die.

— The End —
