Poetry Blogs (sadness)

In the grate, the shivering flames
hungrily wrap their lips around logs
The boards above me creek
my wife haunting somewhere
the baby's hands reach out
wave before its sleeping eyes

The wind is howling...

The smiles on our faces as we galloped down the aisle
making sense of scattered photograph moments
but I can't remember why
can't think of anything but waiting
and doing everything...

She says it again.

Silence.

Uncomfortable rustling.

All the things that

Haven't been dealt with

Exposed.

A moment of hope,

Something different,

Lost to fear.

All that I can do

Is sit slack jawed 

 And picture you,

A vision of kindness

Nurturing us with

 Clay soaked hands

I lost a constant reference,

A personification of grace

 When I lost you 

Now a hazy memory

I can only

Strive to complete and                                  become

From clouded dreams

Of watching you be.

Sorry buddy for what's gone on
If only you had actually known
How much that  I sacrificed for you
And this friendship that I thought was true

I honestly stood by you always
I was the friend that would have stayed
But in the end it was you that betrayed
Me in the most hurtful of ways

We had a history that we kept a mystery
Because it wasn't knowledge that we wanted freed
Why is that a...

{Death Warrant}

I have an active

warrant for my

scheduled death

that has been

killing me slowly

and painfully since

the day I was

conceived inside of

my mother's womb 

And as these day's

fade into the darkest

longest hour's of the

lonely nightmares of

death lingering

around my sickened

weakened body until

I am a forgotten

chiari w...

{I Don't Fear Death}

We all live 

We all die 

We all cry 

We all suffer while

we are trying to live

in this life while we

just simply wait for

death to creep in

on you 

And we all love

everyone that is

actively in our lives

daily and we love

hard and we love

deeply as we possibly

can because believe

me tomorrow i...

I feel dead inside

I can no longer hide

For so long I've lied

I promise, I truly tried,

But today is the day that I died.

{Executed By You}

It's strange how

it feels like I've

been executed by

you for so long now

Because in your

eyes I've done

everything wrong

but I haven't done

anything besides

loving you 
 

But I've paid my

faults and wrongs

and dues a billion

times over with you

But the truth of it is

that you want to

Sadness follows the ends of my hands,

Gravel broken sideways. 

Finish the beginning to confirm the edges,

Shadows digging deeper.

The bridge built for the followers,

Leans forward,

Above that brittle and cold creek.

Water fills holes to drown the children,

Your gasps unending,

A quiet end on the side of relief and tranquility.

Following the bitter ...

On a summer night the window mutters a melancholy tone,

Soft fabric sinks down towards the ground,

The rain flutters the pedals of a delicate daffodil on the edge of the window sill.

I sit and wait,

Longing to the reflection of the moon on a puddle,

You wrap your arms around mine.

We dance in a meadow,

Your shoes sink into the loosened soil from years of rain before.

You’re beautiful. Belle Ame, French, for beautiful soul. I cautiously use the word beautiful, simply because the word holds so much power. It may be overused in it’s context, but within mine, it holds virtue.

Rain is beautiful. The smell of rain, the taste, the sound, the feeling on your skin as it seeps into the thread of your clothing. The way it collects in puddles on broken roads, or how it...

{He Tried To Destroy Her}

He tried to destroy her by his sneaky little secrets and little lies that he kept hidden deep down until that dark day she found out about all of his hidden dark secrets that's when her world came unglued 

because she gave her all to this man and then return only thing she ever got was just his lies and dishonesty and secrets and his cheating ways t...

{I Am Not Okay}

I am not okay
I am not happy
I am not sure if I want my life to continue on living this freaking nightmare 
I am not beautiful 
I am the one everyone calls the ugly duckling 
I am a incurable plagued person 
I am depression
I am suicidal 
I am a lost cause 
I am hurt 
I am pain
I am sickness
I am a invisible person that no one attends to see beyond the sick...

What a pleasurable pain

to be loved by someone who only wants to use you 

someone who only wants your body and not your mind 

accepting the fact that you are wanted, only for vanity and not for soul purpose. 

You are but an object, 

a hole for someone to dump their sadness into. 

Nothing more, nothing less.

where were you all this while

when i lost my smile

when i was lost

when my heart got tossed.

when all the world walked away

left me alone to stay

when i was all alone

they turned my heart into stone.

when i felt my life been drawn out

all i did was scream and shout

with no one to hear me out

it left me short and stout.

everywhere i walked

no on...

{Murderous Tears}

These murderous tears

follows down my cheeks 

wetting my shirt as I gently

wipe them away like the

way the did you by murdering

you in cold blooded murder

and it left me here like a

child that was orphaned 

to survive in these darkened

cold streets that the

blood stained asphalt

surrounds my feet 

But I cannot fathom 

how th...

So unpredictable.

So sharp and so cunning

Is the pain that run through me,

Hideous yet so stunning.

I want to keep it here, 

I want to feel it's cold aching

Blood spilling from me

My heart is still breaking

What if I want it to stop?

Please, leave me alone!

It'll be there. Waiting.

For me to decay down to bones. 

Maybe that's what I wa...

This sickly feeling i have inside

because i myself lack basic pride

I am upset when i go out

in fear that others may speak or shout

Yet this one lie had gotten to me

It's made my life a misery

I hide myself from everyone 

I deprive myself that natural fun

If you look at me you'll see nothing

But in privacy i do everything

i fill my body with foods and cry

secretly ...

I think I hung myself in your tears

Yeah, the other day I realised

One noose, one tear drop - same shape.

I choked on the salt of it

eternally thirsty now

When they fell from your eyes

they looked like showers of broken glass

How I wished I could have swallowed that instead

I think that would hurt less

I’ve got 6 bruises, 7 cuts, 3 scars

I’m still counting.

But why...

In silence,

      tears that express their agonizing language

            Tears that have names,

                 faces

                     memory…

                         and ignored pain
