"awoken" poems
Late at night is when I think And try to I clear my head I often stay awake all night Just laying in my bed As soon as I get comfy Thoughts start racing in I start to question everything and regret my every sin At first the thoughts are gentle Like what will I do tomorrow But as time crawls by; they escalate Till I'm drowning in my sorrow I think of all my failures Every detail of what I did wrong After hours of reliving pain I convince myself I don't belong I suddenly feel isolated and like the silence will never end I feel like I will never escape There's too much I just can't mend I feel overpowered and worthless Like I'll never do anything right I hide till the world fades away And I'm awoken by the light I realize a new day has come It's time to put on a brave face I put those negative thoughts away Until I return to this place

Anxiety
can not be found in the flesh For as warm it may be As soft to your fingers it is It will lay soft and cold eventually can not be found in gold Yes, it never loses its luster But many coins you need to muster And no number will fill the gap in your soul can not be found in others For the laughs may distract The facade will crack And still you will be empty inside ilusive as it may be It follows you around It never left For within you she rest Waiting to be awoken And while the rest might feel great They serve as nothing but crutches On your own you must stand If you are to revel On the pleasures life offers... To improve one self To look on path troded It´s essence To know there is more With hunger jump forth It´s rushes To balance the mind With the desire of the heart It´s key And once held in hand You will understand That happiness flies like a bird But behind she left Tranquility And the knowledge That you can get it again...

Happiness,
They don't know how it feels to awake every morning, and all they can wonder is why they had even awoken They don't know how it feels to pick up all of their pieces, and put them back together but still feel like they're broken They don't know how it feels to say all that they can say, and still feel like there's more but every word has been spoken They don't know how it feels to go to sleep every night, and the only hope they have is that their eyes will not open ©

Depression
Freedom comes Not through choice! Freedom comes From having a voice. Not to say, Now I can choose! But to say, With choice I loose. It's all the same - You have not chosen. It's all same - You have awoken!

Freedom
*Brittle dry earth beaming with longing, For wet kisses from heavy heavens' door, In soothing rain, finds the heart’s belonging, Releasing the sweetest aroma...petrichor.* ***The mist of warm moist wafting playfully, Kissing and engulfing in a subtle unworldly spin... A feeling ensnared by the clutches of fond remembrance. Like the cadence of your breaths upon my parched skin...*** *A taste of your last dance on my fervent lips, Awoken with each drop, still makes me thirst, I lift my head, entranced by memory’s grips, Craving you, again to make my heart burst.* ***Here again...two drenched hearts encased in glass, Latent spectres melded together as they did before, Promises wrapped and bound to the gaits of the other, In eternal dance, laced with everlasting redolent petrichor...*** Dajena M rhymesmith

Petrichor (Collaboration with Dajena M...again!)
Freed from the blackness that fills my nights Awoken from the nightmares plaguing my mind For a short stretch only to receive a brief taste Holding on for I know she must make haste Like the foggy windows on a summers night So have I felt the warmth of another Never wanting to leave her comfort Never wanting to see the light Like roses at the peak of their bloom Only to enjoy briefly till death ensues Withered away and dying as they are So am I breaking as we have to part Joy is a bitter taste For it never stays to long You hold on until you are unable Until it leaves you withdrawn Am I but just another face Another notch upon your bed Scattered amongst the crowd Overlooked and overdrawn For if I know what is true But I wish it were a lie To face another second As I feel my dreams die On my own I must go For you’ve taken to much What I wish I would receive I only gave to another

Fleeting Light
My bad dreams won't leave me alone these thoughts keep circling my sub conscious. They wait till I'm most vulnerable to attack I can't relax not for a second. If I do they are there screaming at me over and over again taunting me till I'm awoken in a cold sweat with tear stained cheeks. I can't go back its too frightening so I sit huddled trying my hardest to  disappear. Until the light shines through my widow and the screams soften slightly and I am forced to carry on till the next time I'm back in bed and the voices take over once again...

Nightmares
Wake up pleasured, I feel it as you lick my Stiffness awoken from sleep, "ARRR, Your tongue feels rough, but I like it woken Pleasured from my sleep. I open my eyes turn my head to the side There you are still asleep, panic on a face, As what is under the sheets still pleasuring Me more, just one more minute, NO.... Under the sheets I do look woken by pleasure But  not any more. There are two pussy's I see as I look under the Sheets, one shaved, one hairy and its the hairy One licking while looking at me. I am pleasured, but animal style, this cat is out The door. Violated am I, never to tell the woman I love, that another ***** has pleasured me nearly Releasing the milk that would have made it purr.

Morning Pleasure
romanticize our problems until they are colored in pink and purple hues baby blue mornings filled with you fantasize our perfect life together what if reality is the fake coffee, music, and solitude can be found any Saturday safely in your arms awoken by kisses soft and gentle until clothes end up getting lost somewhere dancing around the living room in our pajamas, without masks on I wish this was still true but this is not reality, this is not truth this is me romanticizing past loving like dreaming of Paris in the rain

Sep 15 2 0 15 your poem read, awoken by lightening flashes of morning notifications arriving, postmarked from "I liked it" but it does not end there, continues, to a new ending who and why, who and why, did this one find their own worthy in it that was writ unknowingly just for them and you look them up, guessing who and why, rereading your hand's work, which verse was it, was it for a blessing or a curse, that touched them, that made them touch you each "like," a work in itself re examined, re searched, re imagined in the light of who they are and why they are liking words I wrote a single poem bring hours of imagination, each "like" individually gift wrapped, each human liking rapt, each imagine a rapture, each "like" a new poem about the who and why each name a disguise to unravel, each name a title of a new different, imagined poem, who and why, we like each other ~~~ 6:53am

imagine likes/who and why
Upon the wings of doves it was pure Their purest white Feathers Glided, Floated, Nestled Its clearness, Its symbolic touch Upon my yet to be woken heart, For this beauty showed what was In front of my eyes, Feathers did come down like snow Not only touching mine, Awoken, Revived, Vitality Sprung forth, emotions were flowering Everywhere, My heart was touched By a feather of purest love, That is when our eyes meet, I saw a feather Caress your loneliness and we Were transformed from Solitude, Seclusion, Sorrow To hearts that were now awoken, The true feeling stirred from inside, To love at first sight, We were like the feathers Our hearts had taken flight, We were in love as white feathers fell, The symbol of love had opened our hearts To what was always Within our now flourishing hearts.

Doves Feathers Awoken Love
Time is moving In a stream of wonderous murderous intending, sacrificing sadness, My ****** devotion, ought to shed blood in a distorted dark was but an perishable spring dream, looping without an end through nights, On sleepless nights, the ghosts of the past gets stuck within a river of pure thoughts, a lake birthing memories in secret, subsconsciously, Discard your common sense, sacrifice your sanity for just this second, When the moon stands high in the sky, a bonfire seals the nights start To its creeping shadows, they do not crackor sparkle under the twinkling stars of this celestial ceiling of pure majesty for nyctophiles, Even our natural satelite agrees, dying itself into a lunatic scarlet red, Darkness upon darkness, with layers of shadows overlapping one another as the light begins to dim, thanks to the disappearing moon, An imaginated landscape, created from only pure rage and fury, But whereabouts of the heart, are likely to be lost to the thought of love I carry within a broken chest of treasury, losing all emotions, Even if my scarlet eyes were to be losing their ability yet to see, I would be able to count on you to guide me, through the everlasting, The dream I awoken from, was a moonlit night turning crimson, losing its radiance through the soft eclipse of the moon, gently, slowly But you were there, within the far away landscape drawn in my heart ~ Umi

Overlapping Time
On a summer morning, Monkey had awoken early, His eyes all sleepy, And his hair wildly curly. Swoosh, He opened the door, He had to use his mouth, Because his tail was way too sore. Slam, Monkey shut the door behind him, His friend Panda, Was called hungry, hungry Jim. Monkey was off to work, His tail dragging on the floor, He was sure to be back in time, To feed his family of four. Although monkey was guilty, He missed work twice, Monkey was confidently sure, His boss would be all nice. Monkey had walked to the glass, It said no dogs allowed, For sure he was a monkey, He walked in and proudly bowed. His boss said he had to leave, For he was not a monkey, But monkey had explained, He was very chunky. The boss escorted his out, Angry as could be, For sure he was a monkey, Can’t his work boss see? He decided to go food shopping, At the nearest grocery store, He wanted to get home quickly, So his family wouldn’t be that poor. Monkey walked to the grocery store, His feet were aching, It was 10 miles away, This was a big risk that he was taking. Monkey got there very fast, Quick as in running, It said only monkeys allowed, Wow that sign was stunning! Monkey had barged in, All the monkeys were looking at him, He was told to get out, So then he visited his old friend, Hungry, hungry Jim. When monkey had arrived, Jim had told him he was a dog, So Monkey left ashamed, In the new deep fog. Monkey had decided to go home, And Comfort his 3 young ones, He’d see his wife, Oh, he loved them all a ton. Hungry, Hungry Jim smiled, As if he was really, really bad, He decided not to eat him today, He saw him so sad. Monkey’s house Was just around the corner, It was a pretty color white, But most of the time, There was not much light. He had opened his house door, So lonely and ashamed, He was a monkey, He had claimed. Monkey flickered on the light, Nobody was there, His wife and kids left him a note, “You are a dog, we could not bear”. Monkey was so depressed now, He walked to hungry, hungry Jim’s house He had tiptoed in, And was as quiet as a mouse. Jim had caught him, And asked why he was not home, Monkey had explained, His house is just a comb. Monkey said his family had left him, Because he was a dog, They think I don’t belong, And am just a plain old hog. All of a sudden, The panda ate him whole, And the only thing that was left, Was his sad little soul.

The snow drifts were quite high, piling up into the northern sky, burying towns and trees and the poor souls who had fallen asleep on the grass and had awoken with shivers as snowflakes left little kisses on their eyelids. Except that, it was never grass. There was never any grass to begin with. There was no grass or spring or sun or summer or birds. There was only winter and snow. And the blinding, white terrain had become both a place of desolation and s a n c t u a r y. The Aroura Borealis danced like a beautiful blue fire across the night sky. Stars blinked in and out of existence. And somehow, the halls always remained. The blue halls. Imagine, if you will, the Colosseum cut into halves and shaped like an elbow macaroni. Drop it out in the middle of an arctic wasteland and wash it in the blue glow of the northern, night sky. A bright yellow light poured out of the windows and onto the snow, but no one was ever inside. Some say it's the doorway to heaven. Others say it's the gates of hell. And then there are the strangers. Strangers who wear their lavender, silk headscarves and avoid the rumors of such an exquisite and eclectic piece of architecture. Others like myself. "If there is no one inside, then where is the music coming from?" He asked me, his blue eyes shining as blue as the heavenly hues against the midnight clouds. " The halls will hum if the wind passes through them just so." We listened to them once more. A low and ancient hum emanated from the structure. It was an old sound that resonated within me-unnerved me. The mysterious blue halls were not a simple door to some glorious silver city or the passageway to a fiery lake. The halls were the most beautiful and interesting instrument the universe has even known. "It's the harmonica of the gods!" Perhaps one of them dropped it. Perhaps it was a flaw in design. Perhaps it was meant to be silent and with one teensy miscalculation, an entire orchestra of notes were born by the wind. Perhaps it is telling me to tell you that you should look not towards all that makes you perfect, but the imperfections because that is where true beauty rests. And you are so beautiful. The kind of beauty that doesn't know it's own beauty. Like when you are sleeping, and the moon washes over your face. I like when you are sleeping, for you are so beautiful, yet so unaware.

You were born on a cusp. friends on the other side couldn't decide, Scorpio or Libra. You yourself, as constant as the tides. A tenth sign ram was blessed to cross your lovely path and the ram learned: Short curly hair pinned back reveal asiatic eyes. As you pass by and by Time and time hearts race Chicken salad sandwich, its moist mayonnaise is never as delicious without a pickle. Grubhub. No, Scrubhub. Too content to leave the room. Yummy Rummy, food in our tummy. forever. Broth, cheese and wine. Mushrooms and time. If ever I tasted love, it was shared with me, in a recipe. Sound opinion in scores. Royal, like the Tenenbaums. Bill Murray fantastic. Pink Moon over and over and over. Divide that by nine. And now I know, almost as well as you, how good Goodfellas is, even after the tenth time. Early morning awakenings or snooze again and again and again. Paralyzed in a dream or awoken with a scream, we tried a routine: Once parts of a team, a memory faster than it seemed. Ran for miles. A boy and girl in the hall, amongst the boys and girls in the hall. Digital regulars in ecstasy. Wake next to you a daydreamer. So, when life gets hard, and you're feeling down, don't be so glum, ignore your doubts, don't feel left out, I'll be there for you, when you need me to.

Today's world is not as it seems, Cancer now comes in packs of twenty And our idea of food is a burger with twenty-percent meat, And NO-ONE cares or thinks for themself Ones worth is measured only in wealth The children are hungry, Our veterans ignored Hunger for money and lust for oil brought us war, Ukraine in "crisis" and MH370 missing, The C.I.A. funded Isis we just won't believe it, So put down the phone and open your eyes, Realize Real Eyes Real Lies It shouldn't take a genius to see this So I will not forgive, I'll NEVER forget, about 9/11 or Israel's daily blank check Because we fund their wars with Gaza and more We bomb the Mosques,hospitals and more We've been deceived,shammed,tricked and lied to, So ask yourself,who am I? Who are you? We're the awoken ones with SO much left to do Open your eyes and simply wake Wake the **** up for our children's sake Sometimes I just think about things, What will our children's future bring? Will there be one at all or won't it exist? Open your eyes Realize And think about it

The Grand Scheme of Things
I was awoken from a dreamless sleep      By a boy with short brown hair,      Who, with an urgent stare, Told me to head to the showers! As my eyes creaked open to recognize,      The orange glow of this unfamiliar room’s lighting,      In front of me, in handwritten writing, A page on the wall showed three in the morning. When I glanced around a room of shared bunks,      I saw all sorts of people and things,      Running around with things to bring To these showers I had yet to see. In a winding line down a high ceiling’d hall,      I stood with so many,      Who like me, hadn’t any Idea what was going on. With a whirlwind flurry of commotion      Steam crawled from the showers and water sprayed,      As we were told in a big disarray, To wash off the place from whence we came. In a neat little stack, I was handed my clothes      A tunic, with a sash      And a captivating mask To “celebrate our exciting return home.” Down dark rustic stairways, I watched like a child      The vibrant light and affinity,      Radiating with enchanting divinity, From the otherworldly people and creatures below. Through that noisy, jolly crowd,      We were led as a group      And the boy said with a whoop That we were all to stand up and dance. His eyes glinting with excitement,      The brown haired boy explained      That our spirits would be ordained Through a celebration of our inner light. Onto the stage I was led      As I stood with my class,      Nervous amongst the mass Of silent, numerous spirits before us. As the boy hit the music      I felt something from deep inside      Rush out like a tide And through tears of joy, I danced. It was at that gleeful moment      That my friends and I,      Realizing we'd died, Knew we'd returned to the forest.

the forest
I was awoken from a dreamless sleep      By a boy with short brown hair,      Who, with an urgent stare, Told me to head to the showers! As my eyes creaked open to recognize,      The orange glow of this unfamiliar room’s lighting,      In front of me, in handwritten writing, A page on the wall showed three in the morning. When I glanced around a room of shared bunks,      I saw all sorts of people and things,      Running around with things to bring To these showers I had yet to see. In a winding line down a high ceiling’d hall,      I stood with so many,      Who like me, hadn’t any Idea what was going on. With a whirlwind flurry of commotion      Steam crawled from the showers and water sprayed,      As we were told in a big disarray, To wash off the place from whence we came. In a neat little stack, I was handed my clothes      A tunic, with a sash      And a captivating mask To “celebrate our exciting return home.” Down dark rustic stairways, I watched like a child      The vibrant light and affinity,      Radiating with enchanting divinity, From the otherworldly people and creatures below.

A cold October morning, Treated just like the rest, The boy awoke nauseous, With a pain in his chest. A longing for something, Far out of his reach, He settled for darkness, Brushed red in between. The pain became pale, followed next by his skin, Respiring so slowly, The lights going dim. Adrift into nothing, What feels like a dream, Is death coming slowly, A dying brain's final feed. "Is this what it feels like to be dead, I think I like this feeling" Awoken abruptly, Surrounded by fear, Who are all these people, and how'd he get here. Looking up from his back, A tear falls from her eye, "Relieved" does her no justice, For not having to say... Goodbye..

Oct(overdose)ober
I am awoken by the rain. The sound of it drumming against my window And water hitting water as it splashes into puddles. As my senses awake, I recognize the fuzzy feeling in my mouth; Time to brush my teeth. I get ready for the day and head outside Where it is still raining. I close my eyes as I step beneath the clouds. I feel the coolness of water droplets land on my sleepy, warm skin I take a deep breath and let the scent of everything fill my nose. The lilacs and tulips in the yard Mixed with the soft smell of dirt and the grass And the air and the rain That cool, refreshing smell Like starting over. Then I open my eyes The clouds I see Are a bittersweet gray The same shade of his eyes at dusk. The grass is the deepest shade of green I've ever seen it Being highlighted by the dark light from the sky It all was beautiful. I take another look And another deep breath And head off for the day.

Spring Shower
On a summer morning, Monkey had awoken early, His eyes all sleepy, And his hair wildly curly. Swoosh, He opened the door, He had to use his mouth, Because his tail was way too sore. Slam, Monkey shut the door behind him, His friend Panda, Was called hungry, hungry Jim. Monkey was off to work, His tail dragging on the floor, He was sure to be back in time, To feed his family of four. Although monkey was guilty, He missed work twice, Monkey was confidently sure, His boss would be all nice. Monkey had walked to the glass, It said no dogs allowed, For sure he was a monkey, He walked in and proudly bowed. His boss said he had to leave, For he was not a monkey, But monkey had explained, He was very chunky. The boss escorted his out, Angry as could be, For sure he was a monkey, Can’t his work boss see? He decided to go food shopping, At the nearest grocery store, He wanted to get home quickly, So his family wouldn’t be that poor. Monkey walked to the grocery store, His feet were aching, It was 10 miles away, This was a big risk that he was taking. Monkey got there very fast, Quick as in running, It said only monkeys allowed, Wow that sign was stunning! Monkey had barged in, All the monkeys were looking at him, He was told to get out, So then he visited his old friend, Hungry, hungry Jim. When monkey had arrived, Jim had told him he was a dog, So Monkey left ashamed, In the new deep fog. Monkey had decided to go home, And Comfort his 3 young ones, He’d see his wife, Oh, he loved them all a ton. Hungry, Hungry Jim smiled, As if he was really, really bad, He decided not to eat him today, He saw him so sad. Monkey’s house Was just around the corner, It was a pretty color white, But most of the time, There was not much light. He had opened his house door, So lonely and ashamed, He was a monkey, He had claimed. Monkey flickered on the light, Nobody was there, His wife and kids left him a note, “You are a dog, we could not bear”. Monkey was so depressed now, He walked to hungry, hungry Jim’s house He had tiptoed in, And was as quiet as a mouse. Jim had caught him, And asked why he was not home, Monkey had explained, His house is just a comb. Monkey said his family had left him, Because he was a dog, They think I don’t belong, And am just a plain old hog. All of a sudden, The panda ate him whole, And the only thing that was left, Was his sad little soul.
