Literature Text

Welcome to my narcissistic jungle,
Where bass drums cover up what little self realization remains,
It is a paradise of self deceit,
And a void of truth,
Burring deeper into parched sand,
Miracles happen on this shoreline,
Just not to me

Joy is freedom,
Yet freedom is double edged,
One finds solitude in tranquil resolve,
And one in bitter jealousy,
Of what once was

Lose Yourself

What's the point in leaving footprints if no one's going to follow them? And what's the point in screaming if no one's going to hear you? And what's the point in crying if no one's going to wipe away the tears? What's the point in getting lost if no one's going to notice you're missing? if no one's going to come looking for you? if no one's going to care? Footsteps. Falling faster than your tears. Pounding on the cement, only sound louder is your heart. Breath wheezing, sense leaving, panic creeping. Do all these houses look the same, or have I been

Decendant of Darkness

Angels of death consumes your Anguished calls. You fight. You beg. Undulating laughter echo from the darkness In my heart. I am the forgotten. I am the reaper. The evil cries out, As I watch in silent awe. The remnants of your mind Is lost in the storm of death that surrounds you. There is no escape. There is no resistance. Here from the world i control. The hearts echos their surrender.

Featherdance (Poem)

Listen closely, and you may hear The sound of sacred fire. Its ancestry flickers in a thousand Colors, all within the hearts of unborn heroes. Somewhere deep inside legend, A fringed master slumbers. Its breath sequesters beneath its beak As it dreams in molten gold. Six score, it has lain in wait For its kaleidoscopic guardian. A spirit akin to its veined own, In suit and solemn as he. The skies grow dapper without The grace of its marbled wings And the elegance of the feathers That heal the lame and the ungainly. Its dogs look toward the heavens, Listening for its sacred fire. The hours and the days atrophy And crumb

Lavender Town

What is that? What do you hear? You look as if You've seen a ghost. Let them speak to you; All their tormented souls Wish is for a living heart To become one with theirs. The plague of sorrow racks These doleful townsmen, As they wander vacant streets With hunched shoulders. He is crying for his mother; Can you feel his tears? You cannot, for you—you— You are like all the others. Please, be their guest, And let them creep beneath your skin. They mean you immortal joy, And no harm shall haunt you. No harm shall haunt you, But they shall instead, Their stoicism patient as they Wait for you to crumble. He is

Trust

Trust. It's something earned, Not given. It's like an ember of my heart, Placed inside yours To hold and protect. Extinguishing it or throwing it away Will break our bond, It may never be repaired. Don't try to steal an ember, For it's not rightfully yours Until I personally place it in your chest. Once it's there, It grows and strengthens Until it's a fire. A fire of trust That can't be extinguished That can't be thrown out. It will always be there, Linking me to you.

Two poems about poppy's

one: Poppy dear Oh dear poppy, where I lay my head, you are my pillow, you are my bed, born from blood, of people passed, it is here I have found, my peace, at last. two: The moment Crouched amonst the red, the green, and the yellow, I stare into the poppy's spots, I raise my photobox, and capture the moment, I am savouring the sensation, and preserving for the future.

Obsession

It takes 14 minutes and twelve seconds to walk to your home from mine every day. Your mother never fails to smile at me when she opens the door. I never fail to notice that it doesn't reach her eyes anymore. You leave your door open an exact two point three centimeters. I don't think you do it on purpose. There is something wrong with the wood that has left it that way. I pause one foot outside the door and listen to you cough, trying to determine how sick you feel today. I hate that every time I think you are particularly ill, I am always right. Six months, seventeen days and fourteen hours. That is how long its been since the d

Your Poetry Sucks

Yes, roses are red And violets are blue But you have to understand Who said they had to, Its about imagination Emotion and orignality Not the reiteration Of dead men's practicality These words, They are your sentence To a world that has to listen As you create the difference Whether it be With angst poem against love Or how you set your heart free To fly like a dove, For these words Whether or not they be true Their beauty and ideals Will be used to define you, So yes, Hope ,in fact, has feathers And like a caged bird it sings But these words will only be tethers That strip you of your wings, Those are their words Meant for their time And me

Bullied On Our Friendly Website DA

There was once two authors on a website that wanted to let their opinion out. But a famous author set to put them out. She took the flame of these little author’s hearts making them burn from blue to red. And here’s what she said, “Your little fire shall be extinguished because I want you to get the Fuck Out!” The tiny authors wept and cried. Wondering was it because they picked a side. Maybe if they had gone with the flow of everyone else they wouldn't have suffered being a different self? The small male author thought it was too much to handle and left. But the dainty female author stayed behind. However, The ligh
