In this anger I have raged
Never to do that again
Burning fuses before the game
Incarcerating myself in guilt and shame
After the change
From hatreds summer to wilting
And falling
Walking back on moments
Trespassed
By impatience
The irony of having fallen further behind
Poetry
Elephant
The redness of your cheeks as you blush
From the words you can’t, won’t say
Gives you away
As we take in this moment
Our fragility stronger than us
While the elephant
Sits at the periphery of this silence
Breath
The hush of the sea sounds like the worlds breath
Each breath a different shape
Each slotting together
like a jigsaw
Worlds
Worlds folded into words
Evolving into something
That even the man at one with pen
Couldn’t envision
Gargoyle
A Gargoyle within
Nesting under the skin
Becoming you, becoming this
Everything you ought not to be
Caught inside a scream
Taking flight
Like bats from a cave
All the illusions fall away
From the words you crave
To explain your demons away
I live in tyrannical state of mind
Why, I want to live on a secluded island
Away from everyone
So that I can feel lonely on my own
And scream “No one cares about my despair”
And not feel like an attention seeker
Because no one would be there to hear
And it’d take the burden away
Leaving me with these tyrants in my brain
Burning away at the scaffolding
Holding up my attempts at building
And I can be left within this ash and ruin
And maybe these tyrants would begin to tame
Without anymore buildings
To put up in flames
Titan in a titan’s footprint
The teacup sits idly
Before the tea inside begins to shake
As the ground beneath it quakes
But, still the tea cup doesn’t break
Undisturbed like a titan
Sitting within that crator; the footprint of Argentinosaurus
Nothing ever lasts
The blue sky is there
You just need to wait
For the clouds to roll on by
Days, weeks or months
This too shall pass.
Including that thought
That nothing ever lasts
Negative shoes
This post and the comments that followed inspired this shit random off the cuff writing
I’ve put on some negative shoes
I can’t dance
So lift me out of the blues
These negative shoes
Don’t like my feet
They don’t like life
They admit defeat
My feet stink
My negative shoes
My negative shoes keep walking
Out on me
I’ve been looking for some positive shoes
But all shoes look like they’re smiling
So how’s a guy know
If they’re just upsidedown frowns?
I don’t know
But I keep gettin’ negative shoes
Standing in dog shit
Always is a hit
Trying to wash that shit
Out of the grooves
Is soul destroying
My shoes are destroying…..
me….
Beaty & the Beast
Dinotaur; T rex head
Upon human shoulders
With a red and orange mane of fiery feathers
Sees the black mare
It’s white mane glowing in the sun
With it’s ‘devil eyes’
Sees Dinotaur
Standing as both man and beast
That unicon among horses
Liking what she sees
Gallops forth
Knowing they were meant to be
Beauty & the beast
