Poet Introduction
The sweet remain Of an Angel slained
I Am Yours
This was for the 'Gothica' Competition.
The moon’s enthralling glare lashes out at my once devout heart,
Sincere to you, to your hunger and despair.
I allowed such ravenous needs to be satisfied by my skin,
Such thirsts to be quenched from within my veins.
I felt your pain as you relished the sentiment,
Of my being your slave and adherent.
You unceasingly severed my heart, I would lie willingly,
Convincing myself of my need for such an aching.
And yet, looking within my resonating depth,
I see that still, I would give you all this...

If You Don't Believe Me
Do you think I’m cowardly,
For not wanting to fight any more?
Do you think I’m gutless,
For avoiding the anguishing shame I can’t ignore?
Tell me and look me in the eye.
I’ll show you the pain if you don’t believe me.
Do you think I’m fainthearted,
For hoping for the best for those around me?
Do you think I’m spineless,
For having a menacing fear of everything I see?
Tell me when you see the control die.
I’ll show you the agony if you don’t believe me.
Do you think I’m wrong,
For being weak and unable to cope with this...
For not wanting to fight any more?
Do you think I’m gutless,
For avoiding the anguishing shame I can’t ignore?

Too Much
I hate too much,
I smile too much,
I hate that I always feel a demand,
To smile at everyone and everything.
I love too much,
I crave too much,
I love what I crave, I crave love,
But the continuous craving sends love away.
I want too much,
I waste too much,
I waste any chance of getting what I want,
Wanting anything is therefore a waste.
I need too much,
I force too much,
I need to feel a force behind me, supporting me,
But the need to protect myself from any force takes away my support.
I hate too much,
I...

The Thread
The thread it pulls
Unravels the whole
The standard, the steady
The thread extends further and further
As it dishevels what it’s withered
But that thread can then create
Something new
Acceptable and fresh
Shrinking into the creation’s flourishes
Dishevelling the concern of the withered
Unravels the whole
The standard, the steady
The thread extends further and further
As it dishevels what it’s withered
But that thread can then create
Something new
Acceptable and fresh
Shrinking into the creation’s flourishes
Dishevelling the concern of the withered

My Grotesque Self
You laugh at me
Diminish what is me
You continue to force me
To see me torn
Coerce things from me
That I regret
Not for you to care
But for me to mourn
My grotesque self
It peers through
My shielding concealment
So often lately
You have me cower
You ruin the refuge
In which I hide
And depend on greatly
The refuge it shelters
My grotesque self
And keeps it at bay
As it sits soundlessly
With no reason
For emerging to you
The shame I hold
It feeds on boundlessly
But each time you seethe...

Delirious
There are three ways to be in this unfathomable life,
Happy, sad, or just simply delirious.
Happy; when things go so right,
Sad; when overwhelmed, and the reasoning usually mysterious.
Delirium comes in an array of styles,
It could be awful, vengeful anger,
Or that needless fear that’s often a social norm.
But there are ones to love, await and enjoy,
Like feelings of eagerness and anticipation,
And uncontrollable lust in pure form.

For Your Sake
My morbid words take their toll on you,
My saddened mind disappoints you,
My desperate crawls push you away,
My cold breath freezes your love for me.
My harsh desires scare you too much,
My weak eyes you no longer look in to,
My killer fake smile has killed you so many times,
My lying hands make you think different now of me.
But still you stay.
I know I’m not your responsibility.
It’s not your concern to protect me,
To defend me,
To tend to me,
To make me happier.
Leave me for your own sake.

Kick Me When I'm Down
This was for the 'Imagery Challenge' Competition
Down I go now, yet again
You let go now, but don’t tell me when
You enjoy it, willingly
You can feel it, while getting tingly
Your foot jerks fast, you catch my side
I take it as, the thanks you’ll hide
My pained look says, ‘Just you bloody frown’
But it’s the only way you would ever kick me when I’m down
Down I go now, yet again
You let go now, but don’t tell me when
You enjoy it, willingly
You can feel it, while getting tingly
Your foot jerks fast, you catch my side
I take it as, the thanks you’ll hide
My pained look says, ‘Just you bloody frown’
But it’s the only way you would ever kick me when I’m down

You Don't See
This was for the 'A Love That Was Never Told' Competition
I stay in silence, keep it in,
I'll always deny how you're under my skin.
I can't help but adore your wonderful ways,
But I avoid you when you deserve such praise.
It's not that I care what people might think,
It's not that you're on an emotional brink.
It's because when you look at me you don't see,
You don't even consider the thought of being with me.

Overcome
This was for the 'Truthfully Speaking' Competition
Just do it now
Cut where I tell you to
I struggle to do it myself
But you can do it, I'm sure.
I'll be willing
I promise.
I'll lay quietly
I'll like it, I know
I'll smile with relief
Just watch me bleed.
I know you think I need fixing
But this is what will fix me
This Is my answer.
I do want it
I need it
Just do it now.
So I can have your love with me
When I really need it the most?
Will you be with me?
Overcome...

Lost In Love
The first paragraph was for the 'Micro Poetry' Competition
I've expanded on it here
Lost in Love
Lost in You
And yet, guided by the two
Taken by strife
Taken by guilt
And yet, now able to improve on the ‘Us’ we’ve built
Vulnerable in desire
Vulnerable in infatuation
And yet, controlled by the invitation
Battling with change
Battling with novelties
And yet, winning effortlessly with your qualities

Ice-cream Van Man
This was for the 'Misery's Miracles' Competition
I sat alone in the park one day,
Wondering why I couldn't find the One.
I've thought just a shag will do,
But even being flirted with is all a con.
Then driving past I heard the ice-cream van,
He stopped for a few minutes.
All the kids rushed to get there,
I found myself sauntering to it.
As I asked for my ice-cream,
I looked up to a handsome man.
I giggled as we started to chat,
And he asked for a date as soon as I can.
I made such an effort,
It'd been...
