You sit and you sing

in your gilded cage.

watching with wary eyes

as I sit on the sill outside,

cold and huddled down;

just a dirty, downtrodden pigeon.

Nothing like you.

Chirping for attention

and the lies you're fed,

you dare to judge.

Sing that success

is a cage like yours.

Scoff that I choose instead

to be outside in the cold.

Pain staring
Through stained glass eyes
Resting on a world that I despise

I feel the heat of my hatred,
Self worth incinerated
Charred by thoughts gone bad.

Disciples lost,
Like sheep, to the wolves.
Fed to the dogs
In gilded bowls.

Abused and used,
Enslaved to the gods
And lies they gave.
In a grave they made.

So I last and I stare
In a prison of their worship
Where they s...

Washed Up

Tossed aside like flotsam

carried on your breaking wave.

I tumble to the sand,

a single piece of something more

forgotten and broken.

It isn't like I blame you

you know I never could.

The allure of something new

something shiny,

something whole.

To fix a broken thing

takes time and so much more

it takes a patient ear,

a soothing to...

Mind Over Matter

Take me into your sweet mind

show me all the things

you need me to find.

I want to serve you,

allow you to serve me

now one, who once were two.

Twist me in your lust,

lash me to your heart.

Let this be.

Just the start.

I think that it's awful double standards to remove the blog entry 'To Whomever' by Daniel John Hall Kleinmeier. Whether you agree with his views or not, you cannot tell him through your comments that you can write what you want, only to then remove his blog from the list. A lot of you will know that my poetry is more morbid than anybodys so I don't agree with his views, but I respect that th...

Dead of Night

Read and leave comments (0)

On a moonless night

In a haunted scene

Wherein the dark

was pure and clean

I turn and contemplate

the absent sky

A prisoner of the frigid bed

on which I lie

I witness the crawl of dread

and shattered dreams,

Whose shards

My heart do shred.

Why is it that we think

That we have to try and be

The person that somebody else

Wants us to be?

And why is it that we strive

To perform for everyone around

To get them to admire

The plays that we contrive?

Why do we pile the pressure on

And drive ourselves so hard?

To please and impress

Until the real us is gone?

And why is it t...

I'm Alright

Sometimes I get to thinking,
That I'm alright.
Sometimes I get to thinking,
That I'm alright.

I'm not alright,
But sometimes I think I am

One day I'll be alright
And maybe
That's the day
When I won't have to think
Anymore.

Solitary

Read and leave comments (2)

It's dark here.
I sit alone,
Naked and abandoned.
Cast in my own company.

The black looms closer,
I can't see my hand,
Can't feel my face.
Lost in my own disgrace.

I scream
Until my lungs are raw.
The sound reflects back
A cry only I can hear

Where are you?
When I need you,
To chase away my fear?
It's dark here.

Rabbit Hole

Read and leave comments (2)

Trapped in an ever decreasing maze,

Where every footstep erases the last,

Where dark and shadow obscure the light.

I dream of the sun, but feel only rain.

With all my hopes and dreams

Open for dissection,

I cling to the walls for protection

But even their solid support

Is an elaborate deception.

For every shallow smiling face

And every promise...

The Little Things

It's the little things,

That weigh you down in the end.

Like never having the chance

to get to know a father figure

or the thousand missed chances

because you don't realise in time,

or you're just not interesting enough

to cut it.

Disappointment hits,

like a plastic frog in the oven.

And you realise that the best days

have gone by without being ...

Break My Heart

Read and leave comments (0)

Break my heart,

but don’t lead me on.

Play your part,

until the deed is done.

Leave your mark,

branded on my soul.

Whispers in the dark,

my secrets you’re told.

Smitten from the start,

I watch my love unfold.

Break my heart,

but don’t lead me on.

Dreams

In my dreams I have touched your skin a thousand times,

I have run my hand along your graceful curves and felt every groove,

every goose-bump, every pore.

I have touched your hair and pressed its silk to my lips,

smelled its sweet perfume and rinsed my hands in its luxurious flow.

I have held you tightly, I have held you softly.

I have kissed and caressed and worsh...

Discovery

I don’t want to break you,

or hurt you.

I don’t want to change you,

or improve you.

I just want the chance

to get to know you.

To discover the things

that make you laugh,

the silly things

that make you cry

and those self-indulgent moments

that make you sigh.

I want to know

your favourite colour,

your favourite place.

your f...

Flotsam

Read and leave comments (2)

Hidden from the world in a cold, dry box

forgotten until the sullen morning breaks.

Tumbling from the prison into a deluge;

submerged in coco brown liquid.

I flounder without a paddle,

desperate to swim against the tide.

The slurry stirs with my efforts,

threatening a murky oblivion.

The bistre water ris...

Valentine

Read and leave comments (5)

The softest touch to gossamer skin,

a finger stroke of desire and lust.

I stare into your eyes,

as they stare into mine.

You seem to see me,

and yet see through me

a pale blue gaze

that sees a world beyond.

I slide my hand into yours

as I lay you down,

the earth our bed;

star spattered sky our canopy.

No-one will know you

Breakwater

Stoic in the face of the rain,

I watch it wash

the stars from the sky

And fill the gutters

with their softly twinkling light.

A glittering deluge

To flood my pain

And flow over broken barriers.

A tsunami of awkward reasons

To hide my fear of drowning alone.

Dear Diary...

I think she looked at me today, diary!

She did, she really looked at me.

And yesterday was the best day!

Because she spoke to me!

It wasn’t the greatest chat:

she told me that I was in her way

and of course, she was right, I was!

I stepped aside and let her on the bus.

Maybe this means she really fancies me,

it means I have a chance!

Things ar...

Deliverance

As regal as I get,
As vulnerable as I can be.
I push through tranquility
And into exhaustion.

Stuffed to bursting,
Eager to release.
I intrude onto the White
And deliver my sacrifice.
