"lence" poems
Well.,
It's another
mundane assignment
as I feel I'm being trapped
In
In the Asylum
Cause everyday, I feel I'm on an
I -- land
and I'm drift'n
With nothing but consciousness
on my mind
Seeing many visions now
many a times
A thousand times?
Yeah, the feeling is
Time -- less
But then again?
I thought it was just another case
of my mind just being mind -
less
( Smh )
How thoughtless
As I feel I'm getting reacquainted with
the darkness
that's trapped under my Eye -
lids
For all I've ever seen under the skies is
in disguises and nothing but vio -
lence
While still sitting still in the stillness inside
as I sigh
in si -- lence
I'm left with the question of
Who am I?
Undecided but
No Suicide
Cause on the other side of you and I
is nothing but illness and a stag -
Nation
that's..
Still divided and
too stationary
Vision blurry.. in a hurry
But..
No worries
Cause I'm already invested
Battle tested
Here
In my latter - Days
And even though I can't see that
clearly the paths or the plans laid
before me
My plate is empty and my stomach is
rumbling while feeling kinda hungry
which is kinda annoying
But at the same time?
Re- a-ssuring
As the tempters continue to
Tempt me

Recto:
One of those days. The snow is falling soundless
out of a grey and uneventful sky.
A day for calling friends from times gone by?—
each one I try stays hidden in the boundless
wilderness of restless Sunday si-
lence. Floods, a sinking pound, less job provision—
the usual run of news on televison—
groundless reasons for concern or high
time for despairing? Or decision! Reach an
arm out, you can fly, your spring is wound! Less
imprecision! Let the word resound! Less
fun, short-term, maybe, but clearer vision.

Despair in the sanitarium!
All lies escape the insane are awake
Beyond the locked doors the echoes bounce across the checkerboard floors
Sigh-lence, day dreaming, stay screaming
Slay on words, motion madness
In jest, cyanide suicide happy faces.
Hisses of those bearing bloodshot eyes, venomous guise
Bystanders walk by, cross the line
I stand firm above it, ne'er beyond the bonding
I'm bound to the ground crystal, looks back at me in the mirror.

Beneath the garden
shed, her bones bleed
Without much notice of
decay.
Smells of rotten garbage
Permeated the building
Of her demise
Without much notice of
isolation.
Souless, lifeless carcass
Becomes her as she loses
Unconsciousness beneath the
Rotting soil.
And the malevolence
Took over.

Split open my chest

Give me cursing/screams/mock me to

But please.dear.god.

Far FAR from the world.... WORLD...
whorled my world
HERE condensed here con CON
con-densed dying densed
a ho-HOme mmmme-me hewn in stone
Prison for prison pri pri pri sonnnn
here a drop of silence echoes
si lence sisisilensilensilense
pins pins pins dropped, trickling distant water
trick-ling
in the pud-dle a mud-dle cal-led li-fe
a cave home, far away from home, is this
a noise of thoughts, rushing past
a gorge of silence.
how it was meant to be?
consuming homes in deluge, after the rains,
trickle silences, replaying lives, screened
all around in silken mists
lightning bolts prising open recesses dark.

Oh!
How I wish I could silence
these demons in my head!
These demons pray on violence-
& I think they wish to see me dead!
(Oh!)
No!

Let my silence be a lesson
To be careful what you choose
You dropped what you assumed would always be there
Now you covet the thing you lose
Your life is absent of my sincere words
And you miss the way they sound
Yet you took my voice for granted
All the time it was around
What you did not bother to say
Was what my spoken thoughts meant to you
I expressed my love for you every day
But you couldn't tell me too

Are you seeing my body as a portrait,
With painted fields of flowers and streams?
Not a picture of a one night stand and a text forgetting my name?
“I won't regret this” his husky voice kisses my ear.
He paints with purples and blues across my thighs,
And around my neck.
I was always told to never fall for a painter because
Once they finish their masterpiece
They are on to the next, tossing away the last one.
I became a sculpture, with bodies as my canvas
And my nails as my tools.
He was painting my body, as i was carving into his.
Leaving marks and naming my territory.
Soon i discovered i was made to be a poet,
Striking people with my words,
No longer using my fingers to leave messages but my voice.
I learned to hurt people in the best ways.
But in worse ways he left me.

When I had first wrote this, I was in the back of a friends car. Thinking about the future. We never really know what all could happen. At first, my poem was about a intimate relationship between partners, but towards the end, it shows an abusive relationship. After reading many books, seeing posts we get into relationships with people we do not know until it is too late. In awareness of those who had suffered from
Domestic violence, abuse, **** here is my poem, Painter.
