Existence is Futile

Written by Zach_of_all_trades
Poem Published 26th June 2017 5:45am
Breathe
Yet I'm not alive
Oxygen enters bloodstream
But it's all routine
Going through the motions
Distractions
Serve to pacify
Imaginery progress
Flawed as the day I was born
Fake it 'til you make it

Wishes

Written by beanbandit (word soup)
Poem Published 24th June 2017 6:01pm
Wishful wanting
Daunting wishes
Knowledge seeking
Nah, I'm sippin
Saturating
Outward, Inward
See me falling
No ledge in him
Blissful void
Or avoiding bliss?
I wished to know...
How could I forget?

Shades of Nirvana? (No! Not the band!)

Written by Zach_of_all_trades
Poem Published 22nd June 2017 9:28pm
Empty space
Air void of any substance
No aroma
No heat
No discernable chill
Free of light
Not consumed by darkness
Silence noticeable
Not overwhelming
Alone
But not lonely
Uncomfortably comforting
It’s not good or bad
Nor happy or sad
It just is

Ever so Shy

Written by anonymouslyhere
Poem Published 20th June 2017 10:05am
Condemned by
My tongue of stone
My crack-brick eyes
My fear ever sly
I cancel speech
I cancel thought
Reduced to a sigh
My abhorrent face
Fragmented by fear
The courage shall die.

Downhill

Written by Taryn
Poem Published 19th June 2017 00:07am
thoughts seldom
opposing
prevalent
struggling daily
war within
wages
winds blow
clouds roll in
time stopped
for each breath
stolen
words written
no translation
baffled remains
questioning
everything
crows fly
over blackened
hearts
claws digging
picking apart
eyes closed
faces pressed
glass fogs
distorting
the rest
eyes open
lips sealed
battles silenced
looking downhill
from here
