"impurities" poems
Urges through the night, a blade dancing with its mistress, discarding what has summoned up in her way alike a ****** crazed devotion, Scarlet tears make their way down her cheek, washing the sand off as the pillars around begin to collapse alike cards one by one at the time, Phantoms rage as a pure flower appears to commence blooming, The warped moon embraces the shadows of such fools as it rises, Actions with not much meaning seek their rampage as the battle field becomes frail and soulless through this sleepless night of lunacy, When the flood of realisation arrives she will be swept away unlike the wise who make a more solid, stadfast decision. How trecious, Does she want to take a dance with this cruel world she rampages on, are her ideals fitting for this battle she is about to win for now, Drenched in blood and impurities of her work, her mind remains pure, innocent, not even sweating one thought to the consequences, Mercy nor compassion are unlikely to be granted in this darkening realm, not to her dancing knife or her lunatic ****** devotion, Time is moving, as she sacrafices her soul for her actions, Taking another dance in this distorted dark ~ Umi

Be built on Sand
I show you the stronger side coz i love you Can't show you the weaker side I can't tell you that I've been plotting my suicide If i did who do you think between you and i would really die I'm breathing like all of you but I'm dead inside And its sad to say i can't tell you why Ain't got no one to vent to Grew up being told boys don't cry Everytime we argue you say you don't love me You say you don't need me As if you don't know you're the reason im still living I wrote a note to my moms saying im leaving I hate to see her cry So imma put it in the post hopin that she'll read it at a later time To this painful life i see no purpose Busy hurting others coz of my insecurities Judging they flaws Tyna forget my impurities

Love Me
Visibly wholesome with internal infractions Humans predisposed to fatal attractions Remain cautious & constantly selective In a world where hearts are pure but minds are deceptive The mind screams lust while the heart craves affection The root of true beauty lies within imperfection For every blossoming rose, is at least a single thorn & every heavenly angel has a deeply hidden horn Thus a man's flaws aren't defined as his impurities It's the illusion of perfection that equate to his insecurities

Imperfection is Beauty
Gather in a dark night, impurities of the mind caused by poisonous emotions from loss and envy, of spite or jealousy, forming misery. Love fades, ahh once so innocently precious, yet fragile in structure, Leaving the servants of it in great despair and even darker hate, Where affection ruled supreme once the scars of misery are causing a heartache from leftover rampage, a riot now presented. Ah, phantoms Swaying back and forth between sadness and anger one gets lost in his own blindness, destroying and bringing himself into ruins, This lingering sadness seems eternal as time passes painfully slower, An enlighting realisation should do the task and let the soul lost inanihilating, irritational despair grow once again strong and happy, A spark illuminating the dark, with patience and hope for the future, But until this event is taking place, a personal hell is what has to be crossed alike a bridge made of anxiety, depression and self doubt. But worry not all you lost souls who are waiting for light! After all, every winter and every night find their end and ensure the dawn of a blooming spring dream. ~ Umi

Misery
The last judgement shall not hold mercy on the servants, but it shall not wrong them in their deeds either, it is the final decision to make, The end of a long journey which births the desire to see you again, Your reflection cast on a mirror in a sea of pure lunacy shall clear it all It will open your heart and reveal all of your sinning impurities cast away by words of falsities, triggered by a simple yet small lie, Heartfelt dream scapes shape the mirror; In a world so dark that the stars will blind ones sensitive, mortal eyes within seconds to come, Experience of past events suspend memories from the future's dawn. I will not show you any sad dreams, I'd like to heal your wounds if you have striven for righteousness and purity such as patience, If you however have striven for corruption then you should know, There's unending punishment and darkness awaiting your arrival, Here we do have unlimitted time after all, unlimited cruelty and fear, Love comes in misery, ends unexpectedly yet you won't see, will you? Time ticks on, goes by and follows it's clear path in this devil's world which I am lurking over, ruling, which you have intruded tonight, Take my hand oh all you pure souls, the love of light is for all to bear! ~ Umi

The Last Judgement
Sleep, dearest creature of the night, you who adores the shining moon, I said to myself as the music began to echo through the room A nyctophile blood ******* devil, gifted black demonic wings alike a bat when it flies, strengh beyond reason and a tongue full of sick lies, Yet a ray of sun may be lethal to you, burning you away as if you were paper caught in a firestorm, an inferno of heat, vaporized at last, Life force relies in blood, impurities of constant change I need since I have already passed away theoretically I am most likely already dead A music box plays for me alone, transient melodies from the recurring memories of a brighter, vivid past, to which I am are unable to return to, Ahh, phantoms, a nuisance of the mortal life I have escaped alike the shooting stars over a clear, living,traveling, dark blue night sky Have I toiled well, hard or long to achieve heaven, yet have become stuck as the devils tool in a illusionary world with no end ? Flowing water seals me away, I cannot cross when it rains, and need a polite, kind invitement to intrude and cause wicked bloodshed Sleep, so I may can be innocent until the sun has sunken down to rest, Slumber,  the world of dreams is free from weaknesses to purification, With great magic, comes a devils recitation, engaging in a distant dream far beyond the grasp of my crimson, blood drenched hands, Unable to advance,  shadows of those who have forgotten the fear of darkness spread and creep around, hidden in nights embrace Empty consciousness I am attracted like a fluttering butterfly to the gentle reflected light by the full moon in its fullest sensation, Raise this song of love and paint it in a moonlit night for me, Dance with me, until we aren't part of this world any longer, dear, Sounds melt into silence, structure forms within chains of destiny, Even if tomorrow were never to come, I couldn't care less, For now, just let me rest my eyes ~ Umi

A Romantic Poem of a Cruel Lover by The Cruel's Lover
the rain cleans the earth. it purifies it it renews it. i wonder, if i am under the rain, will it cleanse me? purify me? renew me? but that is just hopeful thinking. the rain will only drench me. the rain is selfish in the way that the only thing it will clean is itself. we must be like the rain. we must not try to purify others. we must not try to renew others. the only one who can cleanse us of our impurities, is ourselves.

Someone collect all the hatred, and all the vehemence too. then don't recycle or reciprocate it. turn it all into something else, rich and green and full of kindness. distill it, remove the impurities, coagulate it away from it's cold tungsten tensile titanium. some of us only have to try, it can be done. Einstein said so; and Mother Teresa and Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. and brother Nelson too. Someone collect all the hatred, and all the vehemence too. then don't recycle or reciprocate it. turn it all into something else, rich and green and full of kindness. distill it, remove the impurities, coagulate it away from it's cold tungsten tensile titanium. encase it in concrete and steel, bury it with the radioactive waste. let it lie for it's half life, in over 40,000 tears.

tungsten & titanium
Together we are alone the wishers utter was always unheard the Art of my consort is like ash in the wind  this purified drift of the eternal fire burning for all eternity Timid little shell as fragile as the pearl inside Impurities imparted and manifested into a gem Let me see the diamond  the diamond in your mind I ve been mining with a keen intent to break down the barriers only to be surrounded by the remains Im intrigued by lustered reflections of light in these rays of waves in this passing haze of the delicacy protected by your shell Pandoras box and eves delight only gives me a peek of that iridescent insight Such an elusive emblem of the coveted representative Aphrodite Awakened by impending doom To Cross the threshold of a Careless bloom you turn to me to turn away that I see the Diamond is your mental mineral.

If i could, I would, Carefully take you apart, And put you back together, Piece, by fragile piece, And i would not cease, Until the job was done. Until the sun once again, shone from those lost, wondering eyes, Until the cries that had chained you down, Had been removed from the ground. And if i could, i would, Take my tools And attentively drill out Your insecurities, All those flaws, you believe to be Impurities And ***** in self acceptance so tight, So that never again at night, Would you be reluctant, to hold yourself, As you sparkle in the moonlight. And if i could, i would, Clamp together, Your hopes and dreams, Your self belief, And tie them together at the seams With double knots, So that you never forgot, how Capable you are. I'd take each glittering star, and plant them in the pupils of your eyes, So that each time you cry You'd be reminded of the beauty inside, Of you. And if i could, i would, Paint over your frame work, And tentatively cover up those scars, So you'd never again see the hurt, And never doubt Just how perfectly imperfect you are. And if i could, i would, Saw away your sorrows So when you thought of your tomorrows, You weren't filled with dread, You were filled with joy and hope And optimism instead, So that before you went to bed, You were not filled with self defeating thoughts, Ruminating inside, that pretty little head. And if i could, i would, Weld securely into place, A genuinely happy smile, Across your dainty face, And a hand in yours, So you'd never have to brace Anything alone. And if i could, i would, Disassemble your malfunctioning thought processes And rewire them back together again, With a spanner, in the manner, That meant you were not Classed as insane. I'd unfold and rearrange, The chemical imbalances Within your brain So that the years of disdain, And self blame, Where a thing of the past, I'd put you back together, In a way, that showed you, You were meant to last. And if i could, i would, Attach wings to your spine, So there'd never be a time, That you'd stumble and fall You'd stand tall, You'd rise above it all. And if i could, i would, Take the lonely shadows of your heart, Rip them apart And blaze them, In a light so bright It'd never die out, You would never again doubt All that you are, And all that you can be. And if i could, i would, I'd set you free.

Dear Wildflowers, How does it feel to be the moons favorite child? How about the suns personal treasure? You're born in the spring, Bloom in the summer, And creep into our hearts in the winter months. Dear Wildflowers, How does it feel when the rain falls on your petals Washing away your impurities? Teach me how to guide the wind. Teach me how to live life Simple and Easy. Dear Wildflowers, How does it feel to be free? To have no boundaries? Share with me your secret, How did you do it? Did you charm them with your beauty? Or do you simply have the strength? Dear Wildflowers, I envy you. You're so beautiful, Graceful as you dance together, Mimicking the movement of the waves, Magnifying it. Love, Every teenage girl who has ever gazed out the wind, Across the lawn, And into life's eyes.

every night before i sleep, without fail, romance fills my mind how hopeless, how naive, however you wish to call me but i think it's time to finally pick the red glass shards off the dark wooden shelf that is so full of dust, i hardly recognize it i cradle the glass in my hands withstanding the sharp red melting her into sweet honey and knowing the broken glass, is nothing but temporary i am not left without impurities with sharp edges and deformities but i am whole again and i will not let anyone drop it again because i will wait for an eternity to find someone who puts the glass up against the sunlight and admires its beauty i will find a love like mine someone who indulges in flowers and dream like christmas dates and holding my small hands there is no doubt about it i am a realistic romantic and i like you deserve to be loved, endlessly so

A smile so fair, And a laugh that shows How little you care Of all the insecurities, And all the impurities. You'll just sit and soak In the heat of the sun. Leaning over my face, Your eyes following Every trace, To summon a smile. That's all you ever want, To see the glistening light In some other person's eye. So little effort You've never had to try. You're simply One of a kind

I stood outside watching the rain slowly melt from the clouds My porch let me step onto its short pathway, for it knew my thoughts I stood there and looked up at the sky, being guarded by the small roof above me I watched as the rain fell silently to the streets and listened as it hit the bushes I kept waiting for it to change I kept waiting for it to change me For it to wash away something deep inside me I wanted it to wash away any hurt Wash away the insecurities Wash away the denial Wash away the sins Wash away the thinking of “You’ll never feel the touch of someone in love” Wash away the scars Wash away the memories Wash away the impurities Wash away I stood waiting but the rain still poured on my outstretched hands My hands opening to God asking,”Why me?” The hands of a woman who has never felt the hands of a man in love The hands that can make me whole once more As I stood watching the lightening soar across the sky and the thunder gently hum I wondered “Is this life real? Is this God real? Is love real? Is any of it real?” I shivered and stood waiting for the rain’s response None came; the only response was the silent tread of water heading toward a gutter Funny, just like my life, always fighting against gravity to stay clear of the gutter Shivering I stepped back inside and heard a small clink of a piece of broken glass I held it, amazed, wondering if my life would end this way In the hands of a tiny piece of melted sand I looked at its tiny iceberg shape I turned it and it suddenly transformed into a misshaped heart A heart, like mine, so clear, so ready, so fragile I tossed the tiny love into the air as lightening made its last hoorah Hearing only the distinctive clink as it hit the sidewalk The rain responded joyously as it picked up its pace This was her response Nothing may be real but the rain In the end, sometimes, it’s all we can depend on to wash away our old selves To stand, like an escape from Shawshank; free This was my answer That my tiny glass love lying patiently on the side of the road will someday be picked up and thrown wildly into the wind hoping that it shall find the fingers of a lovestruck current This time instead of a slab of concrete, I shall be there to catch it as lightening strikes my heart I looked up at the tiny roof guarding my head from the cold drops of reality It was then that I decided it was time to take the roof off of my life, leaving me unguarded I closed the door, shivering with a renewed sense of myself I curled under the blanket asking again the same questions that haunted me, “Is this life real? Is this God real? Is love real? Is any of it real?” The rain answered, “Yes”.

Is any of it real?” I shivered and stood waiting for the rain’s response None came; the only response was the silent tread of water heading toward a gutter Funny, just like my life, always fighting against gravity to stay clear of the gutter Shivering I stepped back inside and heard a small clink of a piece of broken glass I held it, amazed, wondering if my life would end this way In the hands of a tiny piece of melted sand I looked at its tiny iceberg shape I turned it and it suddenly transformed into a misshaped heart A heart, like mine, so clear, so ready, so fragile I tossed the tiny love into the air as lightening made its last hoorah Hearing only the distinctive clink as it hit the sidewalk The rain responded joyously as it picked up its pace This was her response Nothing may be real but the rain In the end, sometimes, it’s all we can depend on to wash away our old selves To stand, like an escape from Shawshank; free This was my answer That my tiny glass love lying patiently on the side of the road will someday be picked up and thrown wildly into the wind hoping that it shall find the fingers of a lovestruck current This time instead of a slab of concrete, I shall be there to catch it as lightening strikes my heart I looked up at the tiny roof guarding my head from the cold drops of reality It was then that I decided it was time to take the roof off of my life, leaving me unguarded I closed the door, shivering with a renewed sense of myself I curled under the blanket asking again the same questions that haunted me, “Is this life real? Is this God real? Is love real? Is any of it real?” The rain answered, “Yes”.

He couldn't stay for tea He was afraid he might feel something Upstairs instead of in his ***** If he had been thirsty I would have shown him a metaphor For dehydrated relationships Gallium spoons dissolving in any hot liquid Solubility tends to complicate things We lose pieces of ourselves At body temperature Boil down impurities A reduction of our leftover parts Our leftover lust

Gallium
One of the most frightening things a person can do is to lay yourself down (mind body and soul) in the palm of another's hand. Let them strip you down until you are bare, donning nothing but your skin and the contents of your mind.Trusting another to find you just as beautiful (both inside and out) as you value your beauty to be. The ability, to allow another to see the truths that compose your existence, doesn't always come easy. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery and courage to trust another person with the composition of your flaws and insecurities. Impurities. To give yourself to another; to hand over the key. Left only to wonder if they could still love you once they open the door and see. When hoping for the best, we must leave space in our hearts to expect the worst. Nothing is ever promised, but if we keep faith in the universe, Nothing is impossible.

(spoken word) on: Revealing Oneself
This is turning out to be a sundry thing Oddball bowties and impurities Fruits of our labor no, vegetables of lethargy We are always one of a kind Listen to our veracious lies Once in a blue we let them out Nobody can know, everybody will know our name Why do I always feel bad? I know I shouldn’t feel bad I should be grateful for the rain It’s all upside down, but I’ll be fine I’ll take my time, I can find a way someday It’s all right side up, I’ve had enough Life is rough, what can I say? Is it weird to desire change? The sudden urge to rearrange To color outside the laid down lines I’m not saying to start all over Or to tear down and build a new I just need something different to do Nothing to run from, there’s nothing to run from here I must of imagined, guess I just imagined Apologies my darling dear We’re all glistening, with our sweat Let’s make a bet, the stakes are set, soaring They’re all listening, but you’re not yet You’re in my bed, snoring The world will always spin, so just tell me where and when Play it cool and lay low, give me the coordinates then we’ll go

Sudden Spurts of Wanderlust
Nothing matters to me I might as well be In a different galaxy I’m disconnected from reality I sleep my nights dreaming I could be someone else And lose sight of me I hate my anatomy Chemical bonds gone wrong And I choose to dissect Each and every one I never lose focus when I criticize My imperfections I intend to improve myself But that won’t change my perception And there you go I figure you’re prefect In every sense of the word Nothing can stop you Not even the cosmos themselves But you’re just like me A flawed human In this world full of impurities We bend like metal And sway Wherever the wind takes us That’s the price we pay Each and every day Our insecurities Hide the best of us But we wake up in the morning And continue life But one thing for sure We’ll keep fighting   Until we perish Life can be beautiful Never forget it

Hello
feed yourself the beautiful dream one brain wave at a time so as not to choke on its entirety or have to suffer anymore. the entire vibrato you've used is getting you nowhere, you see. but soon, you'll be able to say you're not on the streets to score *another fix another mix of chemical endurance and obliteration* step on up, and read the sign there's nothing left here just as it was when your father walked from one end to the other, feverishly. we're dying out left and right, but you're sure to make it, i swear it, i've seen it, and i'll make it all a reality *based on dreaming shaped from cleaning of the mind and its impurities.*
