"demolisher" poems - Hello Poetry

Oh, of the powers acting onto our world, There exist seven powers, those which are stronger, Much more dominate than the others, These seven powers, they live with us, affect us, Fear them, understand them, embrace them. Oh the sea, the first of the greatest powers, The sea, destroyer of sediment, home of many, The sea is to be loved, worshipped, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the sea, understand the sea, embrace the sea. Oh the wind, the second of the greatest powers, The wind, vanquisher of creation, realm of none, The wind is to be relished, awed, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the wind, understand the wind, embrace the wind. Oh the earth, the third of the greatest powers, The earth, demolisher of itself, domain of many, The earth is to be valued, appreciated, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the earth, understand the earth, embrace the earth. Oh the fire, the fourth of the greatest powers, The fire, conqueror of vegetation, province of none, The fire is to be respected, coveted, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the fire, understand the fire, embrace the fire. Oh the nature, the fifth of the greatest powers, The nature, defeater of construction, territory of many, The nature is to be cared for, protected, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the nature, understand the nature, embrace the nature. Oh the dark, the sixth of the greatest powers, The dark, dominator of hope, dominion of none, The darkness is to be dreaded, envied, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the dark, understand the dark, embrace the dark. Oh the light, the last of the greatest powers, The light, subjugator of despair, provider of many, The light is to be cherished, revered, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the light, understand the light, embrace the light.

The Seven Powers

Oh, of the powers acting onto our world, There exist seven powers, those which are stronger, Much more dominate than the others, These seven powers, they live with us, affect us, Fear them, understand them, embrace them. Oh the sea, the first of the greatest powers, The sea, destroyer of sediment, home of many, The sea is to be loved, worshipped, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the sea, understand the sea, embrace the sea. Oh the wind, the second of the greatest powers, The wind, vanquisher of creation, realm of none, The wind is to be relished, awed, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the wind, understand the wind, embrace the wind. Oh the earth, the third of the greatest powers, The earth, demolisher of itself, domain of many, The earth is to be valued, appreciated, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the earth, understand the earth, embrace the earth. Oh the fire, the fourth of the greatest powers, The fire, conqueror of vegetation, province of none, The fire is to be respected, coveted, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the fire, understand the fire, embrace the fire. Oh the nature, the fifth of the greatest powers, The nature, defeater of construction, territory of many, The nature is to be cared for, protected, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the nature, understand the nature, embrace the nature. Oh the dark, the sixth of the greatest powers, The dark, dominator of hope, dominion of none, The darkness is to be dreaded, envied, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the dark, understand the dark, embrace the dark. Oh the light, the last of the greatest powers, The light, subjugator of despair, provider of many, The light is to be cherished, revered, For it is alive, and it is worthy of its power, Fear the light, understand the light, embrace the light.

If you're not the architect Then you're the demolisher, right? But what if you're both? I'm both. I will build you up high like the worlds greatest skyscraper And you'll touch God's face and whisper in his ear Thanking him. I'll paint you better than Michelangelo would ever And I'll only place in your interior The finest jewels and gems. But then I'll tear you down, Smash you with a wrecking ball. Spend years tearing down every wall Only to leave you with nothing but a foundation, A cement bottom and empty wooden posts. I will destroy you without ever meaning to Because I'm venomous and unaware of it. I'll leave golden specks in your mind But bruises on your soul, I'll make your heart beat And then I'll tear it apart. I'm a playful king cobra and I don't know my own strength, I'll nibble your ear and then release my kiss of death. I bet you've always wondered why they name natural disasters after people, And I swear to god after meeting me you'll know.

A constant stare, while its on the table Not a blink from me, I feel unstable I hear nothing, no sudden vibration No flickering, no notification On the palm of my hand A sense of you getting closer My words were not planned I'm sorry, please say its not over Feeling numb Exhausted and stupid A destroyer of good A demolisher of cupid Thought of loosing you is crippling Can't bear my thoughts, its sickening End my agony, let me explain I need to feel you, or will go insane.

A constant stare, while its on the table Not a blink from me, I feel unstable I hear nothing, no sudden vibration No flickering, no notification On the palm of my hand A sense of you getting closer My words were not planned I'm sorry, please say its not over Feeling numb Exhausted and stupid A destroyer of good A demolisher of cupid Thought of loosing you is crippling Can't bear my thoughts, its sickening End my agony, let me explain I need to feel you, or will go insane.

I spent 13 years building a brick wall around myself 3 years building a bombproof shelter I even added windows To see the outside world. But I forgot the fire exit And now the fire's lit The smoke is filling up my mind Burning all of me. Gone is the (com)passion Gone the creativity Gone the personality Just bitter memories in their fireproof box. Even as I build the bomb shelter I scream for a way out Searching for a weakness in the wall That isn't there. At least I painted the outside Simple, bland, attractive In universal white So good, nice, boring. Oh look, I'm stuck in the only corner left Holding tattered fragments of burnt personality Waiting for the fire to burn Me up.

So tired, ******* exhausted of tired promises, promises You'll never keep, You know that You won't (So why do You make them?) Not sure, I don't think the cave under the falls is worth the battering But you tell me you Miss Me Miss Me So I keep spending, Wanting the search YOU, DEMOLISHER. I, BRICK ABANDONED. I am made of the substance You were built to ruin. You, Spender of Time, I, Timeless Monolith. Take Me, Take Me, Take me down - Brick by brick You undo (with tiny meaningless hopeful phrases) Bat your eyelashes while you pocket my pieces So You can keep telling Yourself You're tender.

YOU, DEMOLISHER

So tired, ******* exhausted of tired promises, promises You'll never keep, You know that You won't (So why do You make them?) Not sure, I don't think the cave under the falls is worth the battering But you tell me you Miss Me Miss Me So I keep spending, Wanting the search YOU, DEMOLISHER. I, BRICK ABANDONED. I am made of the substance You were built to ruin. You, Spender of Time, I, Timeless Monolith. Take Me, Take Me, Take me down - Brick by brick You undo (with tiny meaningless hopeful phrases) Bat your eyelashes while you pocket my pieces So You can keep telling Yourself You're tender.
