Does happiness as well as hope come at a cost?

Thank You



For that soft smile that graces your lips
when you see me
and the way your fingers cover your mouth as you laugh.

For the warm and shy look
your bright eyes always get
when I take your hand in public.

For the way your sweet voice
takes on an adorable, embarrassed tone
at the slightest mention of anything inappropriate.

For that epitome of femininity;
your long skirts swaying
in time with your wide hips.


And for the way, when we're alone, that all dissolves
into hurried removal of your elegant clothing,
sighs of pleasure, and animalistic panting.


For the sight of your demure lips parted,
tongue darting out lustfully,
while, with a finger, you beckon me.

For those sharp, intelligent eyes,
fogged over and half closed
with the intensity of your desire.

For the sound of your reserved voice
moaning my name
and begging for me.

And finally, for those hips,
unwrapped and spread
in eager invitation.

Deliver the Fear (Sick Of It All)

Stop breathing
my god damn oxygen.
Anger simmers in my heart,
like embers..
Clenching my fists tightly,
fucking sick of it all.
No regrets
you've taken her from me.
Defiled her innocence.
A broken man I am.
Any saving grace has forsaken me.
Nothing to contain,
not a thing to control
ME.
Your life grows short,
delivering the fear
living in the moment
without a care for the law.

Blood sprays upon me
as a drive my elbow into your face.
over and over again,
shattering teeth and bone.
Delivering the fear with every strike.
Sick of it all.
Striking out of hatred
for what you have done.
An animal I have become,
living purely on instinct.
Satisfying my murderous rage,
in a desolate back street alley.
A night of drinking you were hoping?
Here, drink your own fucking blood.

Never will I forget
and never will I forgive.
She was helpless
alone.
You were weak
and struck the innocent.
You escape punishment through
a pathetic justice system.
I will suffice
as your judge.
Jury.
And executioner.
You scumbag
Rapist pig.
You will
NEVER
touch her again.
You are scum
and I will end you.

You're struggling?
Struggle some more!
Yeah, that's better.
You beg,
like pigs beg for shit.
Roll around in your tears
on the ground,
right where you belong!
Sick of it all!
Raining down pain,
delivering the fear.
You have nothing left
and I am finally satisfied.
Leaving you to your blood,
stray teeth.
And shattered facial bones.
Leaving you to your pain
I rise.
Standing over you.

Fear,
delivered.

Pain,
returned.

~As you leave...

The Love that stood so strong by our sides,
Slowly begins to crack as I discover you feel it no more.
Happiness, who held my smile,
Loses grip, and let's it turn intoa frown.
Those words, as deadly as bullets, hit me, and knock me out.
And Your steps that once eagerly walked to me,
Now from me, walk away.

I Weep and fall to the floor for you,
Someone who I never knew or loved before.
But yet, My throat swells up,
leaving me no air or words to speak.
I feel the pain throughout me,
As it all comes back to me.
I remember it all,
But it now seems,
it was only an unrealistic dream.
My body and mind feel so tired and used,
Why did you wait so long until I fell In love?

Tell me when this misery will end,
Or could you tell me you'll be back to stay instead ?
Tell me what I did wrong to make you leave me,
To make not feel anything for me.
Or could you tell me you never had a change of heart
And then run back into my arms?
Are you listening, as I yell your name,
As I collapse and beg you to extend your stay?
Do you listen, to the beat of my heart
As it gets colder and slower
withevery step you take?

But now you're gone, As if you never cared at all..
You left me here to fall apart...

With Hope on my mind
And the only thing keeping me alive,
I lay alone, With the our Love broken into millions of pieces,
All over the floor.
With Sadness laying closely on my side,
your presence slowly diminishes into the cold night.
With Memories in my hands,
Like glass, make me bleed as I tighten my grasp.
With my vacant eyes opened wide,
And With my lifeless soul holding me with its emptiness ,
I wait in silence for your return tonight...

"Both."


I'll take another day, Honey
another excuse to say "I love you" in another hundred ways
I'll find another card
that says it better than my hand-scrawled poetry
but realistically, the chocolate will be demolished
by the time you get in

I'll take another drink, for you, Honey
and leave the bloody bird's heart on the kitchen sink
so you see
what happens
when your pretty songs are sung to anyone but me

And you'll know I love you more than anything
when I pin all our smiles to the walls we built
and buy another ring to
remember
we were happy.

we're happy.

No offense to the rest of the participants of this contest, but...

If this woman doesn't win, I might have to protest...

violently

That is some amazing stuff here Jess

Lov(e)taH




love came to me once
since then it has walked away
leaving behind the mystery
of black roses on my coffin
the dreams you projected
blown away on the darkened breeze
love is predictably blind
as all my flowers have died solely for you
this land so unruly so wild
holds the only fairness in your blackened blue eyes

lying here in the fabricated wonderland
a purple haze floats in on the black mist
the ecstasy of hate lingers
penetrating the very air
the very core of my soul
as i inhale the essence of lust
filled with hates loved sacrifices

the night has a bone chilling coldness
in this bleak month of May
love blinded me not letting me see
the true nature of your embrace
arms carrying, sheltering me
within this hearse you sealed my fate
complete and utter desire driving me
into the hideous somber grave
the bells toll for me
floating through the wings of Lov(e)taH

"Where Will You Aim Your Hate?"


Warning voiced in black and white
No question in his breath
Nowhere to run, but run the race
Gaining ground, look back, see Death

In the coming revolution
Let me be the first to die
For I will not pull your tooth
Nor will I pluck your eye

Let me offer both my cheeks
To your bloody fisted hand
Strike me twice but hate me once
Cold reparations flood the land

I believe the words I’ve heard
While most would rather listen to lies
So long as one distorts the truth
So long as some are alive, hatred never dies

Once the breed you despise are dead
Who will you decide to hate?
And when there’s only one kind left
Will you decide your brothers fate?

Love-Hate-Love by mikimoondancer
I once hated loving you
despised myself and loathed my weakness
I shrank and shriveled in sheer dismay
You reeked of evil, yet I adored your play

Times have changed
Tides have turned
I now love to hate you
all my sentiments burned

The key was there, the solution was clear
I had to love me to hate you, dear.

What You Are Inside Of  I    


I see
your freeze frame
this picture's driving me insane
theres only part of you
that's showing
with half a name
I long to know you
invent new colour , alien hues  
turn all the bad , golden
enable breathing on the moon .

Imagine floatation
we're absent
from rotation .

Orchestral notes are pitching high
we are like Kestrel's
in new skies
we could kiss Neptune
or Jupiter's eye
I am the octagon
but no sides lie
I roll and rock too
I've lived a lot of life
so I need to know you
before I go and die .

Take me away
to where new suns
light up your face
with an amethyst haze
that does eradicate
gone days  .

The cool of ruby
and all red  , is truly too me
the jewels that you have bled
and the food
you do feed too me
the words that I have read
walk around inside my head
sometimes they run instead
because of your athletic legs

if I could I'd replace
the dead stars in the sky
if it did so place
what you are  
inside of  I  .

Hearts are soft, wet and warn
They hold the key to life

Hearts are meant to beat
Their rhythm is our clock

Hearts feel pain
Please keep them healthy

Hearts need interaction with life's blood
Relationship mandatory

Our hands are bloody with the damage we did to each others hearts
I am sorry for that
I am sorry that the holes in our chest have not closed
That the pain is still easily felt and our hearts are still expose and unprotected
Instead of filling the holes with brick and mortar pray we heal with flesh and blood
With relationship
With trust
I pray you well as you live out what you have chosen for your heart

Happy valentines?

    ETAH SEPAR EM

Power in a lie.
Syringe of selfish pride,
drawn from the devils eyes.

Tap the vein again.
Try to channel in.
Now face the podium.

All you ever do,
is what they tell you to.
If you ever knew.

Who you were before.
I'd doubt it even more.
When you point and tell me...

   "THE WORLD IS YOURS.
    SMILE,STAND UP STRAIGHT.
    CUT THE MARK ON YOUR FACE.
Stutterman I know.
It's something I've learned 21 centuries ago.
     IF THE WORLD IS MINE
     I'LL TAKE WHAT I WANT,
     WHO I WANT WHEN I WANT IT.
Stutterman I know.
It's something I've learned 2 Millennia ago.


My love is so very strong...Though my hate has had more experience.

Gifts of Heavenly
By
Chaos_Collector


Chemistry attracts us charmingly close.
Love’s extract, impact us into heaven.
One might say,
we’re high off its eternal dose.
We run without hesitation
in the luscious forest of passion,
without ever touching
thorns on love’s sporadic rose.

That marvelous feeling making you smile.
The liking to you prominently says,
won’t you stay for a while?
Not in their presence,
but you vividly recollect their face.
You yearn to hear their phonation,
so you pick up the phone and dial.

Their happiness is your rapture.
You’re both sly thieves,
eyeing each other’s hearts to capture.
Souls are absent of grief.
Let in light of infinite bliss,
by extensively opening your heart’s apertures.

Laugh the stalwart stress away.
Kiss to make emotions run wild,
seduced by desire’s ardent rays.
Cupid’s diagnosed this love
far beyond mild.
Hearts beat thunderously,
intimate relations are in play.

Convinced this eldritch love is eternal,
as siblings of a sacred phoenix.
No matter how many times we fall cryptically,
in a conundrum remaining internal.
We ascend with searing flames diurnally.

All our lives,
we yearn for these gifts, shining heavenly.
It is torrid passion.
It is undying love.
It is ecstasy.

poet Anonymous

It lives in love

Love  is where hurt lies
Pain resides
And tears are cried
