Sad Scared (happy?)

There's a lot to get done
The list keeps growing
I'm trying to keep us anchored
Without sinking or stagnating
Everytime he walks past me
He gives me a look that explains
All the little things I never learned
And I know that we'll get by
I'm a little sad watching us give up the slacker attitude
To aspire to more
But I know we'll be alright
Everytime he walks past with that smile

Love

its a lump in my throat
every time he says hello
a tightening in my chest
when he laughs aloud

its a wish to see him smile
every time I crack a joke
or feel his fingers on my cheek
when I am feeling blue

its love, for every wish
I make is for his happiness
every prayers I utter
is for him and no other

Love...I believe it is
its a feeling of giving
of existing fully, being
alight with warmth.

Nothing
Written May 9, 2012

I am nothing now
So when my heart implodes
And I am broken open
No one sees that I am gone
Until they feel hollow and assume
Only nothing has died

But how can nothing cry
Little salty bits of poetry
And bleed stanzas born of joy and sorrow

How can nothing love and break
Into portions made for mice
And still hope for tomorrow
To awaken and try to be nice

How can nothing fear a phony word
That ruins trust and drowns nations
But still lie to himself and say that
Everything is okay
When everything is more like the KKK
Lynching him in his backward
Burning his home down
And inhaling the smoke of the nearby trees

He would surely have to be nothing

Intangible night smothers my
traitorous bleeding heart.
Pushing jagged splinters through
crimson veins
beat by wounded beat.

Every stumbling step from you
tears at my fractured soul.
Forcing acid tears from emerald eyes
There is no hopeful moon
no glow to light this path.
Your face hidden I stumble in the dark
carving out every print on me from you.

There is no back
Just trough.

Beat by searing i learn i'll live.
But to kill me would be kind.

Where Eagles Soar

here I am almost 3,000 miles from home
coming back to where what used to be
reason of my arrival grieving me

surrounded by strangers we descend at my last destination
look across the wing just above clouds a tear fell
mountains of soft fluffiness my mind wanders thru

never has peacefulness came to me like this before
not sure why they look so....so beautiful and surreal
I can feel Gods presence sitting beside me

like a graceful eagle we soar thru the fluff
for a brief moment my imagination took me beyond the window
it's like for one second my spirit too floated among Angels

saw many happy spirits drifting across the clouds
beautiful wings spread wide open greeting me with smiles and waves
then there they were the ones I miss and luv the most

that's when I felt a soft invisible touch upon my soul
heard His voice rushing thru my pounding heart
assuring me that all with them was right

it's beautiful and peaceful where eagles soar

Small Deaths

He smeared his disappointment and anger
with his calloused fingers troweling my face
smudging my cheap mascara into my tears
while streams of soot ran frivolously
disfiguring my perfectly painted ruby lips
our love ladened with smoke and guilt

The shriveled pleading torched the rage
chocking the neutral shades with discontent
pushing me against the painted wall
mixed with sand
a masochism of sandpaper,
pressed between a beast and a hard exterior
under a cloud of storm filled with spit
a forlorn turpentine of looming wrath

His gratuitous indignation finely tuned
a coalescence of provisions grazing and clawing
at the twine, while I walked on a tightrope
arms stretched wide hoping he'd catch
my fall and hold me before my head
hit the unforgiving ground

I felt his lips upon mine, licking
the warm blood with cold eyes
inhaling the scent of contempt
while I shuddered under his weight
tracing his words branded on my flesh
surrendering to shadows calling my name
tasting life in small deaths

Hopeless

Break me once, you are cruel
break me twice, I'm a fool
trust too deeply, care too much
too much trouble, so I let my dreams rust
find tortured relief for I must
lest I lose my mind, not that fate is just
Blame it all on the blade
thin and "harmless", just like me
don't pay attention to the scars
I'll say it's all my dog's fault
stare at the plate and push it away
like memories I slowly fade
into a whisper of what I once was
blow me away with the breeze
I don't mind, not anymore
too far gone to come back home
they don't want me, you'll never see
until the moment when I find release
just a little too deep
if you know what I mean
I can't take the pain or deal with the shame
i can't even look myself in the face
I'm ashamed, for I'll never be the same
never find a love that won't make me bleed
never deserve a hand to hold me that won't hurt
never, never, never...
not after what I've seen and been through
I'm not enough to mask the scars
that would be fake
but I'll never replace
the burned out stars
that once lite my eyes
never, never, never...
I give up, I'm not strong enough.
never, never, never again.

Love.

Her: Are you ok?

Me: No.

Her: Why woman? What happened?

Me: Its stupid don't worry about it. What are you up to?

Her: Stupid is as stupid does, what's wrong?

Me: Are you quoting Forest Gump?

Her: So what if I am?

Me: Well, its a rather odd choice isn't it?

Her: As I see it, that's just a matter of perspective. What's wrong?

Me: Why do you need to know so badly? Why can't my business just stay my business? Honestly sometimes I feel as if you suffocate me. For once just mind your own business!

Her: Woman do me a favour and shut up for a second.

Me: What???

Her: I need to tell you something, its important.

Me: What is it? What happened? Are you ok?

Me: Seriously what is it?

Me: Are you ok?

Me: Tell me!

Her: You look very cute today.

Me: ....

Her: Now stop being stupid and tell me what's wrong.

Me: I had a bad dream.

Her: what was it about?

Me: I can't remember all of it, but there were aliens and you died and it was horrible.

Her: Do you want to come over and help me eat this cheese?

Me: Yes.

MAD

I'm so pissed off right now
I could shit bullets
Fart fireworks, shit bricks
And spit sulfuric acid

I'm so livid with anger
My eyes are bloodshot
My pupils are pinholes
My breath is rancid  

I'm damn angry right now
I'm foaming at the mouth
I'm seething with clenched teeth
I'm blood thirsty rabid

I'm so furious
That I cannot recall
The reason I got mad
In the first place, at all

Exhausted.
Haven't Slept in A while,
Im O,So Tired,
From Those Horrid Dreams,
Aren't What They seem To Be,
Trying To Keep My eye Lids open,
Sleepless Nights,
Still Trying to Fight,
Haven't Slept In Ages,
My Dreams Starting To mix In With Reality,
I'm Just So Tired,
Wishing For the dreams to Finally End.

Thank you.  You have a great write as well. To be frank, it makes me want to go to bed.  I'm so exhausted.

waves of euphoria wash over me
finally, I've eaten.
i can see a little clearer to what i want.
i crave soul.
they throw me scraps, and sometimes i taste them
my gums glow with warm sensation
a luminescent belly full of flesh
i could almost hover
but i would rather devour
the hand that feeds me
food is not what i want its eating that i enjoy
i don't want the kill, i want the thrill
i am flesh, call me by name
give me my lust
here we go again
don't sell your soul,
give it to me for free
i need to eat the fire
To cook the life inside of me
