"harshest" poems
This is not a poem; This is an artist screaming to be heard in the abyss of life's harshest realities. This is not romantic; This is an artist learning to to be in love with her very self. All this years, I have been trying so hard to create a person I could love. Little did I realize, what I was looking for has always and- will always be within me. I think I've learnt to love myself. I think I'm finally free. This is a poem; This is an artist screaming to be heard in the abyss of life's harshest realities.

This is not a poem.
Dear God, whoever, whatever, wherever you are- can you see me? Can you see the terror in my eyes? This day I wakened gripped in fear. Can you see me behind the lies? False is my smile, real is my tear That trails my cheek the stain remains The mask each day I don at morn No soul beholds the blinding pain For not shall I allow one's scorn Dear God can you hear me? My screams are stifled by the sound Of winds I turn to carry me Away from dismal strife abound I turn my back one step to flee When I speak, my voice not mine Tis what you wish that you will hear That life is good and all is fine Expression when my soul can't bear Soliloquy for me alone With words that bring me to my knees I shake with chill deep to the bone Despair I pray that no one sees Dear God, can you feel me? I know my heart beats within Yet how I wish that it would cease Perhaps no longer that I shall sin And finally gain a sense of peace I wish to hate you for you have made me Look how I've grown with this weak shell Assembled pieces faithlessly The cracks run deep, dear God, pray tell Can you see my tears and hear my cries? Or feel the knife plunged deep within My heart, my soul, my mind defies Hope, joy, and love, my harshest sin Are you there, my God, or no! Why have you made me thus? Alas, no one shall know my woe To will my body back to dust Tis all my own, this place I made No one to blame only myself Goodbye, farewell and so I bade Sorrow, oh flame! My life engulf!

Dear God
I know the pain you feel is deep, your want from life is simple peace. And though I cannot guarantee, please listen closely, as I speak. Presently you stroll alone, searching for a hand to hold. You feel your sorrow in your bones, in harshest sun, you still feel cold. Pre - dawn, however, is darkest night that must be followed by morning light. I pray you won't give up the fight, the universe will set things right. I know at times, it seems unclear that happiness is always near. But wholly I believe my dear, someday soon, you'll find some cheer.

Message for a Broken Friend
My feet are disgusting and horrendous Crooked toes and calluses tell my stories the pitter patter of them on the kitchen floor, trying to be quit and not wake up my parents in the mornings when I was little Always wishing they were bigger so I could get new shoes Years wearing on my feet, scars from running into sharp corners And yet they still hold me up smushing them into my skates, getting calluses every week for eight years running from one place another and are learning why every type of ground feels like between my toes From the frozen pavement to the searing sand they have been through the harshest conditions And yet they will never fail me

Life is a rose Sometimes it showers you in its petals Sometimes it makes you grab it by the thorns But even when you bleed the rose is still the prettiest gift you'll ever recieve My favorite flower will always be the radiant sunflower, But my life sprouts from the seed of a rose And I may never be as tall or happy as a sunflower But I still refuse to walk away from the sun The beams like glitter dancing off a dream A dream I'm too small and scared to reach I am not afraid of being and accepting who I am This little garden patch grows despite going through the harshest summers, dryest droughts, and most desperate winters Other roses wilt and wither away I make this garden shine with the sunflowers in my eyes

There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Under curves and over slopes, Equations rise and fall endlessly In a perfectly measured void. Optimized, rationalized, sterilized; Formulas that never lie, Theorems looming before us Like an archaic God, A golden deity whose Volume is maximized. How I dream of drifting in this flux, Concave up and concave down, Riding the sign of my second derivative For positive and negative, For better and worse. I would not travel alone; With C by my side, Friend, ally, brother, Always paired with my antiderivative, For whenever we journey back Into the past, it is necessary To have a companion to pull us out again In case we are unsure of where we started. Rules and laws Strict organization, control; There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Order; two plus two is always four. Sines and cosines and theta All dancing in the unit circle of life, A conga line that joins itself To form a mathematical ouroboros. But the harshest of the harsh beauties Presented in this Divine Subject Is that though there is an infinite capacity For positivity and growth, So too is there the possibility of stretching Endlessly towards negativity forever. However, it is much more terrifying To lie in the middle; To be undefined, unknowable, and to add Or subtract to no effect; The most fear inducing, mysterious, and gorgeous number Of zero; nothing yet something, Infinite yet not, The most grand of all contradictions. A hole; a jump; a discontinuity, Easily removed from life and smoothed out If you just apply the formulas. Graphs and coordinates, integers and ordered pairs, Is that not what life is? We live within the grandest equation, Each our own variable, Constantly solving for ourselves With the harsh beauties of mathematics.

Bring me to serenity, let me be peaceful Bring me to a place that my mind can wander and my thoughts can fathom Show me that the ocean so violent and unforgiving can still have moments of calm Show me that my mind so dark and cloudy can still have flowers bloom, even in the harshest of conditions Bring me to serenity, let me be peaceful

Say goodbye to the foundations Holding us up the values we hold are starting to rust everyone is losing the definition of trust is everything just becoming too much? Too much hunger, war and ruin Theft and violence is on the rise and you expect us to just sit in silence ***** all the politicians and religions they cause more wars, that’s the leadership given I’m here to break that system There is a problem that needs fixing Instead, we fight something that can’t be, won But for a solution, we must become one Let’s build a future For the safety of all of the kids Let’s show them. There is another way To solve problems without such conflict through love, lanterns should be, lit Together we should stand hand in hand Like a wall made of stone, We can’t do it on our own Hates on the rise behind messages from the keyboard, people hide Giving their harshest opinions Cowards are, given opportunity to speak their mind Causing scars on one another’s hearts Making the victims feel like They wish they didn't exist This right here is something that needs to be, fixed But until we stand as one Nothing can be, done It takes one to start the trend But unless we all join in The world is just going to fall apart Let’s build a future For the safety of all of the kids Let’s show them, and there is another way To solve problems without such conflict Through love, lanterns should be, lit Together we should stand hand in hand Like a wall made of stone, We can’t do it on our own A world rooted in hate on gender, colour and race These are just some challenges we face Stand together, and we will change The fate that we face War, starvation and blame If we continue to disagree, It could start world war 3 So now can you see? The impact it’s bringing Through music, we keep singing To make a change Let’s build a future For the safety of all of the kids Let’s show them; there is another way To solve problems without such conflict Through love, lanterns should be, lit Together we should stand hand in hand Like a wall made of stone, We can’t do it on our own Stand together, or we’ll fall Rise to the call Stand and be tall Don’t hold back, give your all Be strong and bring down this wall Of hate and blame, no more games!

Letting go can be tough Perhaps the harshest measure Many times we will face Changes that last forever "What if I'd done this?" "What if I'd done that?" Questions to go unanswered And irrelevant to the fact The adoption of acceptance Is your only quest The only option to be alloted Now swallow to digest Observe the tremble in your hands Your eyes begin glistening Your heart is in your ears But who's the one listening? As it courses through your veins Something celebrates in your heart Every storm runs out of rain The Truth in you prevails As you begin to emerge Once again to raise the sails You've let it run it's course You've stopped the irradic spinning Focusing on the Now Every breath a new begining The only stake it has claimed Is to your education Simply a reminder Of life's continuing alteration To err is only human And Forgiveness is Divine You, they, deserving or not Just turn the coin to see the shine Yes, we have a choice To see the brighter side We don't have to dwell In the illusion of The Lie Just as it came Let it go with an ease Accepting what it WAS Join your Self and thaw the freeze It will come again Your Knowing, now a weapon It has lost the ferocity Sanity no longer threatened You can call it thick skinned Or unwavering balance You can call it indifferent I will call it an Allowance.

The Gift
Diminutive flowers burst onto the scene. I am grateful to at last see that it really is Spring. I was beginning to wonder- The Winter birds will wing their way on; Flying long distance to their Summer home. They are a wonder- Winter brought heartbreak, but some fun and joy. A happy farewell to that harshest of seasons, boy! Little wonder-

Spring Gratitude
There was a place. There was a time … There, I stood … still unknowing and everything seemed fine. But there in that place … at that moment in time … the moment I saw the eyes, I'd never believed I'd find. Well, what could I say? What could I do? In a world filled with billions … and there … was a you. I'd always known you were out there … even written of something amiss. I never, ever stopped looking for you … because my heart always said that you exist. My breezy Fall became harshest Winter. My crazy life left my health running out. I'd resigned myself that our moment had passed … but this moment … it removed all doubt. Well, what could I say? Tell me, what could I do? There we stood, staring … alone … in a city of millions … yes, there … there was a you. Oh, that mistress fate, she is just so cruel. Frustration, a curse to be mine.    I'd searched for you my entire life … but now … my clock … knows a limit of time. You see, I would never venture a love with you, while knowing I'd have to leave you … hurt and alone. I could only admire from afar … stoic and aloof … while turning my heart into stone. Nothing I could ever say and nothing I could ever do … But now, at long last … at least I finally knew. There, you stood … green seas, gazing up … into skies of blue. My long-awaited revelation … become sorrow-laced realization. There really is … a you.

“ Hang them, Not let them go ! ”
Can we call it freedom if it divides? Is it correct to ridicule revered name? Was that in defence of freedom? Or was that for easy money and fame? They went on with their provocations; And justified it with arguments lame. Numerous hearts were agonised. But few turned wild, difficult to tame. Extreme provocations and insults. In the name of ' Freedom of speech' Extreme response and harshest reply. To avenge the insult and to teach. When one's ' Freedom of Expression '; Gives one the ' Freedom to insult '. Hatred and dissension are promoted; And can lead to horrifying result.

"I painted a picture today" I'm hoping it inspires people in a similar way that my poetry does No ! I hope it does more than that I've scrutinised and criticised it from all angles Til my energy drained It's of a sunset The colours are vivid n just right "or are they"? My local gallery's displaying it at a fair price or is it? I'm not sure if it's hanging in the best place? Does that matter? It's taken a long time to complete I'm surprised they thought it was good enough ? I am my harshest critic A perfectionist ......

i disembody you in poetry: thin scabs film over your bones, i pick them until i find new skin to lay my kisses on — a new land to baptize with my own heathen hands, i disembody you with them: chest spread open like that of a dressed foul. my body is too corrupted but it knows of intense longing, piercing live-coal eyes, it burns my neck like a crucifix, like flames on a burning metal — it heals, almost cleanses like holy fire and with new bones, i disembody you in poetry: an attempt to see you, hold you, love you whole without it consuming me: a sight of pink lips, pink tongue, pink columbines on your wrist; i take apart your entirety, press it, piece by piece on my fragile nail bed — hidden away somewhere the world loses its sight. and maybe now after all the cycles, it is the world's turn to fumble far and wide, to despair in search for your hands — your eyes that unsettle and leave the cosmos collapsing majestically in its own harshest daylight leaving us all disembodied in blinding, vivid, solar colors. forgive my compulsions to love you like this.

This one's for she who wears the glow in the dark specs. The one nobody disrespects! The one who always has the biggest smile on her face. The one who constantly conducts herself with impeccable grace. The one who isn't a afraid to be different, to stand out and defy the norms. The one who's light still shines, so bright, even after weathering the harshest of storms. The one who sees nothing but goodness inside. The one who makes me feel as if I I am airborne, I can simply spread my wings out and glide. I have been afforded the greatest honour by her, she considers me her sibling, that alone gives me the biggest sense of pride. Some say: "Money buys you happiness." I will not argue, that could be true. But couldn't the same be said about love too?

Amaranth: A Hug Written Down
Outside still clouds gather Here inside I don’t understand What hole I am And what it means On the leaves and grass the mist clings I hurt And try to find What reason I have For this anger I hold Shaken by the breeze, Drops of water fall I want it to leave And not say goodbye I have no love for it Here it hurts and eats away At all I have made Of my heart and soul But now this anger Deep and awful Rumbles along With approaching thunder Haunts And I try To rid myself of the pain Look away from the quick flashes But without a source A reason why I cannot solve This mess inside and Lightning slashes, branches bow and I hurt Cause it won’t go away And I feel as if all I have to say is To hell with Everything and everyone As precipitation swirls and clouds darken further Because all that matters Is the tornado that holds All my organs and emotions Crashing and churning In one same whirling vortex But I know that it’s wrong To me so self-righteous As wind breaks and takes I cannot stand The ones who seem to Indeed share my own fault For the ones with whom you share Are the souls upon whom you are the harshest And I do not like to admit To the things that make me Like all the rest I am cruel I do bad things I am mean I hurt I am human I am caring I am soft I hold I break I am ashamed To be who I am walking a two way street I attempt to hold my head high Because I know what is right But other minds won’t agree The trees who’s leaves the storm has taken Yearn for them once more My head chases me in circles So to confuse me And I begin to cry out But the storm recedes In frustration and fury At my own head’s distaste And demure I am not who I want to be This storm has changed And I am not the perfection That is trained into the lines That wind and rain have worn On my personality Perfection for me and all is impossible As the definition of human is As it may be imperfection Created as rain falls Only to be replaced by sun As fate would have it And so my anger flows slower The pound of the thunder stole my force In naught but words One might read And empathize Although I do not ask it As this is what I have brought Down upon the back of myself With all the things that I have done And through this rambling anger And broken chaos swirling leaves, water and dirt I find my answer And no longer feel the sick Stone in the pit of my soul That a flash and rumbling boom removed Perhaps I am no longer as angry and sick Or perhaps I just cannot feel it as strongly For I fear that I am angry With myself For my own imperfection As I have moved from the clouds For that is who and what I am As fate may have it I have been centered In the eye However, I am human

the quality of quantity is unmerciful, prodigious production of wine improperly aged, pours soiled drops spilled without craft, care or taste, poured too quick to be nothing more than less than waste born in reckless unrestrained than every thought a golden gift, bestowed upon the masses, droppeth like the harshest hurricane rains, gives no moisture sustenance to the world, only floods and lays waste in dazed hazes blesses none but the one who cannot but cant, measures his own demeanor in the mirror, unsuspecting the mirror mirrors the ides of ego, seeds of self destruction the throned monarch who giveth but does not take, thinking the king he is, his own best, even better than his creator and tho he carvo's his retno critiques upon the brows of his subjects, he cares not, for it boring brings more mastubatory page views his addition of success, his edition of self congratulatory of writs and snits, which adds up to a whole lot of **** but you may put you pen down now, for the world needs only need one poet, and it ain't me, and it certainly ain't you .

The Quality of Quantity is Unmerciful
Her feet float above the stage as if carried by some unseen force. From my view among the generally admitted I can hardly make out the details of her face. But those graceful movements are so alluring each subtle step, precise, and all consuming. She is the most vulnerable of all artists, performing a dance that demands every emotion soak through her skin. Each fluid movement pulls from the reservoir of her experience. Trained from a young age to move agilely across the stage, bearing the weight of the world upon her shoulders; My Ballerina has more heart than anyone else on earth. This reckless transparency, on the stage, is her glory. Yet in the average corner of existence this susceptibility to the sun's rays would leave one suffering the harshest burns. My Ballerina hurdles from one emotional extreme to another with the cyclical tensing and relaxing of each muscle.

A ballerina's dance
A perfect Mommy, a perfect Daddy A perfect daughter, a perfect life, A perfect world to exist in, eclipsed by consummate sight. She was my sun, a seraphic voice   bathing me in warm light, And he was my moon, watchful eyes protecting me from the darkness of night. Two halves of my whole heart, their blood flowing through my spirited veins. Two halves of my whole mind, their thoughts crashing through   my synthetic brain.   Perfection is their sweetest lie, proclaimed by selfish mouths uttering vain whispers after bedtime.   "I can't live without you. You can't leave me. I know we can survive this." But survival is intangible against an affliction of the soul.      Imperfection is my harshest truth, comprehended by grieving eyes seeing raw memories before sleep.   "I can't live without you. You can't leave me. I know you can survive this." But even a human's profound devotion can be turned away by their Creator,   just as a pleading child can be deserted by their mother and father.   And that is the largest betrayal of them all.   But to remain, to endure against hate's control, against fate, would be an immediate death.   To try and withstand their sickness and deterioration would be suicide.   And I have realized that I do not want to die.   Loss is my most unbearable pain, undeniably clouded by her beautiful smile and his comforting resemblance. She used to sing her child to sleep, and now, she is singing to her one last time. At the door, he is watching and keeping them both safe.   They will both leave and never come back, but the memories will remain. The happiness will always be there for recollection. But for now, it is time to sleep and forget. She caresses her child's hair and kisses her forehead lovingly, getting up and walking to join him at the doorway.   The silhouettes of their mournful faces seem like a cryptic dream.   "Goodnight, Gigi. We love you very much." "Mom? Dad?" "Yes, sweetheart?" "I can live without you. You can leave me. I know I can survive this." "We know."

People's lives are like far away places and all we can see are their faces and faint traces and flashes of their soul when it seeps through the cracks because it crashes at it's outmost edges. It's as though we nearly think that their soul is what they do, but no and neither is it who they claim to be, or show, it is where they have been, and where they shall go. We gasp for air,  we grasp it there that others must breathe too. Somehow storms still shock us with their might, somehow even when i dont want to, breathing feels right Somehow i know that i was breathed to life somehow sparks that set afire, though they consumed all i was, became small sprouts of life to spire, from the hardest dirt i'd ever seen, when i was the worst man I had ever been they stalked my essence in the ashes, saw through all of the smudges, scratches, held me up to light and saw, an image etched, demanding awe, there it was, but with blurred edges, the image of My god implanted, seed within my soul to bear, the harshest winds, the hottest air. So, as above, so below even stars search for somewhere to go In me, i see my friend, In my friends I see my end, in my end i see beginning, so long as the earth is spinning, and when finally it stops, when we've all forgotten clocks, then in heaven as on earth, shall we know that all has worth, and remember then shall we, all the roots, of life, the tree.

as above, so below.
Inhibitions are burned by candlelight, and resurrected by daybreak. Let us map each other like the mountains and valley's of these sheets, so that our comfort has risen before the morning phoenix that so intends to banish our touch from each other's bodies. Capture those candles in your eyes, and I'll spark our fire, so that the harshest sunlight could never force us to forget the moonlight upon our skin, and those phoenix ashes.
