Oasis
Wish I die
That's where my happiness lies
All my life I tried to chase it
Like butterfly
Alas grief was the only thing
I caught
If life is just a dream
I'd like it to end
Because dreams dissipate
When morning begins
And death will be my new day
Oasis for my thirsty
Place where my tired and tortured soul
Will anchor
After a relentless pursuit of mirage
That's where my happiness lies
All my life I tried to chase it
Like butterfly
Alas grief was the only thing
I caught
If life is just a dream
I'd like it to end
Because dreams dissipate
When morning begins
And death will be my new day
Oasis for my thirsty
Place where my tired and tortured soul
Will anchor
After a relentless pursuit of mirage

drabble pt. 10
no matter how many people i'm around i feel so alone
the people who are supposed to make me feel the most valuable
make the feel the most worthless
i dont know if anything will ever be enough for me
ive had a taste of heaven
so what do you do when youve fallen so deep into the pits of hell
i can beg and beg and beg but no one will ever care enough to change for me
to love me properly
i dont think im meant for love
i never have been and i doubt i ever will be
if you dont want to give me the world then don't
dont promise the ocean and then...

ana
i hate getting naked because i hate the way i look
i hate doing my hair because it will be thin and brittle anyways\
i'm always cold
and i dont think its the low iron anymore
but if its so bad then why do i still look the way i do
am i not disciplined enough?
i cant even lay on my side without rolling up
like a huge carpet
none of my pants fit anymore
not even the new ones i just bought
there's always the rolls, the extra skin
maybe i want to weigh less so i take up less physical space
the same way i hardly exist in anyones mental...

hard man, I love you
listen to my soul it whispers to you
tenderly and passionately
I hurt in the intimate moments I'm vulnerable
my femininity blushes in these moments
because I am naked before you
I feel so bare, with nothing to offer
I ache inside my loneliness
there's a place in me only you can touch
a hollow space made for your soul alone
I utter my secrets to you in hopes you will keep them private
guarding them with your heart
I don't want to be seen in the gentle light
little woman with real feelings for a man
I seek you inside...

Sticky
I Like
How you tease me
How you care
Even when you don't answer
I know you're there
I rhymed, that's blasphemy
Please don't tell anyone
Won't do it often
You're my sticky bun
How you tease me
How you care
Even when you don't answer
I know you're there
I rhymed, that's blasphemy
Please don't tell anyone
Won't do it often
You're my sticky bun

Why Fear We the Darkness
Why fear we the darkness,
The sound of shadow and revealing,
Left only with our interpretations,
Of imaginary terrors seeded in self,
In flaws yet unraveling carefully woven avatars,
Leaving naked, shriveled husks,
Overbaked by illusory radiance.
Too long spent in darkness,
Too long listening to faded glories,
Having never been,
How we scream to mute the silence,
How we turn in panicked circles,
Seeking shelter from truth,
Our truth, profound and now excavated.
How we fear what others may glimpse,
As...

Clandestine Nights
Ushering you in so that nobody can see
Creates an urgency we can’t hide
Hurriedly you undress me
Caressing my neck and
Whispering of fantasies to come
Stroking you, I can’t breathe
It is your scent that I crave
Taking you to the hilt
I glorify in filling the void
That occupies my heart
Laying with you
The weight of your body smothers
Your frame that of giants
My body sighs as it gives way
Passion building, the eclipse pulses
Our need overcomes licentious motions
As your love pours into my depths
Taking me...
Creates an urgency we can’t hide
Hurriedly you undress me
Caressing my neck and
Whispering of fantasies to come
Stroking you, I can’t breathe
It is your scent that I crave
Taking you to the hilt
I glorify in filling the void
That occupies my heart
Laying with you
The weight of your body smothers
Your frame that of giants
My body sighs as it gives way
Passion building, the eclipse pulses
Our need overcomes licentious motions
As your love pours into my depths
Taking me...

I want to watch you take a shit
It's totally personal
Nobody talks about this
I do
I wanna watch
Hear some grunts
See how long it takes
Wonder if you take your phone with you
I have lots of questions
You ready ?

We Live
I Is Me simply isn't the band wagon type
We don't do shit simply because it's tradition or popular
When we breathe, we breathe because we have to
There isn't an attempt to synchonize and breathe as one
We live, so we breathe
We drink water and eat food
Not because everyone else is doing it
But these thing are necessary for us to live in this body
It demands nourishment, although we have a delicate palate
We live, so we eat
We hear because we have been blessed with hearing
We don't like what everyone is screaming at the top of...

Blood Raw
I don't fake shit, I come blood raw
If you knew me then, then you know I'm just as before
No puffed out chest, that shit will get you kill
But you can tell by how I carry myself, I'm the real fucking deal
True I live by a code, live life while I live
Look death in the face and don't fucking give
Think of everyday,every breath as a punch in his fucking face
Laugh to your dam self as he battles to keep pace
What I did I consider the shit done
I don't have to look back at my life to see that all battles weren't won
But I consider...

Dear Poets
Dear poets, this almost year and a half,
I've had to separate the wheat from the chaff,
It's been quite hectic in this time,
I've always loved to write, always loved to rhyme,
Always loved to read, always loved to rhyme,
But I have found in this bit of time,
That all was/is not as it seemed,
With life, your poems teemed,
My reading and following lists, they did harbor,
But sometimes many before, and/or after,
Were, or took a turn in which I could not follow,
They made me feel hollow.
I have learned a lot about myself lately,
And...

desolate
did you feel my desolation of soul and pull away?
I weep confessions of the heart and mind
I don't understand why I hurt so acutely
keenly aware of my short comings
in tune with beauty and feeling awkwardly out of place
a nomad in a strange land
until you came into light shining on my stardust
making me glow with a radiance
in the warmth of your smile I bask
sighing deeply and inhaling your love
tender in it's presentation for my honesty
withheld if I was lying to myself
you pick me up off the ground and...
