ImpetusIs anyone there?
Can anybody hear me?
Are these messages
Coming through clearly?
Over a year has gone by
Since I felt the ground beneath me.
How much longer must I wait
Till these binding walls release me?
There are so many worlds
Left to be discovered.
My mind is set on new horizons,
But you're holding me back.
If you are listening to this
Than we have reached the other side.
We've chosen the path
That you so readily denied.
Time, time
It only takes time
Wait it out...Wait
It only takes time
What–
What do you want from me?
I refuse to be the coal
That burns in your machine.
Why–
Why do I even try?
When there's so much
Holding me back from the open sky.
Sitting like a stone,
You don't budge at all.
Crying for relief,
I lie in disbelief.
Sitting by the phone
You act like you don't know.
What's it gonna take
Just to make you break?Impetus3 hours ago in Songs & Lyrics

Jeff The Killer PoemBe careful what you do
Because he is watching your every move
Hold my hand through the dark streets
So I'll know you're always beside me

Don't leave me at home all alone
I can hear his foot steps follow me where I go
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Be here beside me I'm sure he will go

Deep in the shadows he will hide
taking his work in with pride
In the night he stalks and creeps
Waiting for you to fall asleep

When you finally shut your eyes
you're in for such a sweet surprise
An eternity of endless rest
You know they say that sleep is best

Please don't let me sleep here alone
I can hear him tapping on my window
Maybe if I laJeff The Killer Poem18 hours ago in Songs & Lyrics

No One SleepsFly away
Fly away to this peace of mind.
Break away for just a moment
Break away
Fly away
Fly away to this peace of mind.
Break away for just a moment
Break away
Escape reality
And let your soul unfold.
Arrive at wit's end and
Feel yourself consoled.
Look away.
Reach out and let go.No One Sleeps3 hours ago in Songs & Lyrics

wallflower clippingsthere's scar tissue in her throat,
swollen around the words she never said;
dark rings around her eyes
like planets unremembered, and
a staleness to her touch,
the crystalline Dead Sea.

she's living like a story
that's already been told
"if no one loved you
would you mean anything at all?"

in that moment,
we forget to exist.wallflower clippings13 hours ago in Free Verse

With This RingWith this ring,

I swear to keep myself pure.

To not give myself away until the night of my marriage,

To the one whom God has chosen for me.

With this ring,

I swear to avoid the temptations

That may lead me astray

And defile me.

With this ring

I swear to not only keep my body pure,

But to keep pure my mind.

To not think perverted thoughts,

To not corrupt myself from within.

With this ring,

I swear that all of what I am will be pure

For he who is to be my husband.With This Ring16 hours ago in Free Verse

Shadow of IsraphelOne swing of his sword, or one arrow from his bow, He’ll make you suffer, wherever you go…

He will destroy pure hearts and make them black with hatred, pain, and suffering…

And try to destroy those who are threats to his plans while they are young…

Ruler of the Nether, Demon of the Sands…

Anything he touches dies by his hands….

Saying his name sends icy chills down your spine….

And gives you nightmares for nights and days at a time…

Skin so pale it’s almost white, and eyes that are flames, yet give no warmth, only cold…..

One look and you’ll never forget…Shadow of Israphel18 hours ago in Free Verse

They'd Never UnderstandLying awake in the dark,
Longing to be where You are,
I feel the void between our worlds,
Keeping us apart,

Lying lifeless, all alone,
Deep in thought of my true home,
Trying to conceive,
Your presence enveloping me,

And what they must think of me,
The angels staring down to see,
This depressed, lovesick human,
Trying to imagine God,
'Cause they see Him everyday,
Worship Him forever and always,
And I'm so envious,
They'd never understand,

They must wonder why I fall,
After all I've seen and know,
Honestly I wonder too,
Why I never seemed to learn at all,

And they watch as Jesus comes to me,
And He gathers me up 'cause I am weak,
And they They'd Never Understand22 hours ago in Songs & Lyrics

Mirror, MirrorMirror, Mirror
On the wall

Who's the deadliest one of all?
If it says me, then it stays true.
Soon the bloodiest will be you.

Mirror, Mirror
On the wall

Who's the one that they all call?
If it says God, then it stays true.
Soon the one dying will be you.

Mirror, Mirror
On the wall

What's the loveliest of them all?
If it says Death, then it stays true.
Soon the painting will be of you.

What's that noise?
That shattering, crashing jumbled noise.

If it stays silent then it's still true.
The one who smashed it, true as you.Mirror, Mirror17 hours ago in Free Verse

WonderlandWhat if it existed decades before she dreamt of it?
What if her name was true but her hair was a lie?
What if every page of her story was more fictional then we thought?

What if it is deadlier than it is Wonderful?
What if those dared curiosity never returned?
What if her return wasn’t close to the way it’s written?

What if I’m the blond existing between the lying pages?
What if I’m smarter than my hair color?
What if that isn’t enough to save me from her faith?

What if every “what if” was the truth?
What if I wished every one was a lie?
What if I already knew the lies from the truth?

ugly hungerI.

the wolf in her
heart is whimpering
like a pup hungry
for pure milk
but all it is given
is blood--thick
and warm in a
foreign way
one that isn't the
love of a mother
or love of any kind.
II.
in the dry shade
lies the beast of eden,
her heavy jaw slack
from gnawing rotten
fruit and he is saying
with sweet, red skin
between his teeth
she was asking for it--
how her thin fingers
wrapped and pulled
and plucked at the forbidden-
ness, this is no confession
he hisses like the snake
in his heart.

7 - The Pet PoetI remember when Mommy bought you
a black-haired pet for your sweet sixteenth.
Its bronze collar said its name was "Poet."
You fed it noise from the out-of-tune piano,
intense moments involving flesh and razors,
and the occasional walk by the lake.

At first, he knew only the wolf's howl,
purging blood and flames onto the carpets.
Everywhere was a smell of extravagance --
like that woman's cheap perfume on the train to work.
But you cried a little less,
smiled a bit more.
And that was when Daddy stopped
trying to send it back to the shelter.

Soon, you even started watching T.V.
(and enjoyed food, dressed nice, made friends.)

Shared HappinessI like it better when you're happy.
The world feels like a safe place -
A good place to be.

Stay happy, even in the face
of great adversity
I know these last few years have been...

Well, difficult, to say the least.
But as long as your heart shines
I can hear it...

That devilish smile on your lips
the one no amount of miles
or hardships can erase

Remember, I'm always watching
With the eyes of my heart
I see you clearly

And, as long as you are happy
No matter where this life leads me
Then I am happy too.Shared Happiness22 hours ago in Free Verse

sleepy.you went tumbling down the mountainside  a landslide wrapped in your fist like daisies
 yesterday is nothing but the scraping in our throats 

and i wished on all the wrong stars and ran my fingers across photographs of faraway places i was always searching in the wrong spaces

if i had known i’d let you hold me with  your spine twisted in a hammock your bare feet blistered in the sun 

if i knew your name couldn't be carved into every inch of bark  i would have spent a lifetime burning down the forest to find the syllables of it

i would forget the rings of saturn around their eyes  

and now sleepy.23 hours ago in Free Verse

La fable des marchesLa Vérité

Toi qui cueilles une cerise des champs
Donne-moi ce parapluie et élève-toi !
Quand, frissonnant, cet ultime taiji
Déserté de vérités fuyantes entendra parler
De mon enfance hâtivement fourbue
Tu laveras éternellement les draps !
Il attendra que justice suive
Les chevaux lourds
Faisant apprendre la chimie
Caractéristique aux jalousies.
Le jour tombera contre.
Aux lumières bouillonnantes,
L'irruption cachée a volé le corps.
_ Mais maintenant souviens-toi !
J'appelle puissamment les guerres ratées
Des capitaines marchant lentement.
Enfant, j'avais des apriori pour pouvoir
Dessiner sans mal les hippopotames.

Just Because You're Different Just Because You're Different

I know two penguins who have some problems.
They're uncomfortable with who they are.

At night, I hear them talking
About life,
and about what to do.

They're different from most penguins I know.
But what they are isn't bad.
It's just different.

They're fighting feelings,
Refusing to accept it,
and all I can do is watch.

I wish they would stop,
and accept what they are,
accept the truth.
The truth isn't bad,
but they're afraid.

Just because you're different,
You don't have to hide how you feel,
A good friend will understand.

You two will be alright, I promise.
Take a deep breath and carry on.Just Because You're Different 20 hours ago in Free Verse
