Poem (Remove filter)
Labelled
Becoming slowly unrecognizable to yourself and others
Feelings and thoughts take
a hold, giving you the shudders
Memories and emotions that seem to flood your heart
Faces and places making it hard to know where to start
Decisions throughout the day, waiting to be made
Resting again in bed where it all just seems to fade
Urges of wanting help yet not knowing what to say
Triggers causing you...

Valentines
Taking time out on a couple of dates for one
May seem lonely or anti social for some
But having space to yourself - mostly all alone
Shows a few changes that you have outgrown
Valentines Day - being a special one for lovers
A time of anticipation and kindness for others
Loving yourself by being your own best friend
A journey in itself which doesn't need to end
A card, message or present yo...

Valentines Day
Dressing up, styling hair, feeling fine
Card and presents, wait to be opened, all in a line
Roses, chocolates and bottles of red wine
Celebrating Valentines Day, its just a matter of time
Happiness shown, whether it be rain or shine
Cupid wasn't so stupid, sending his arrow as a sign
The restaurant booked, we drink and then we dine
Thinking that when we met, he must of made you mine
More s...

Spring
There's something about this season, Spring
Waking up to birds as they, sing
Trees and its blossom show subtle, pinks
Clouds and rain, for thr earth now drinks
The sun reappears, having such a glow
As if it were trying to say, hello
I go to the garden to walk around
To see what other things are found
Butterflies with their colorful wings
How this season holds such beautiful, things.

Lockdown
Going to bed then waking up late, what lies ahead?
We ask you fate
Jogs in the winter sun around the area,
Becoming healthy - losing weight
With hope in the vaccine and wanting to be immune
We look to this date
Remembering things of the past, finding comfort
Talking to a mate
Thinking what we have done and future plans
Good and bad times we know await.

Separation
No matter how much the shouting, its the inside worth counting
Never mind harsh words of a person, their actions could never worsen
Others with a listening ear, may take away the fear
The unknown goes on behind closed doors, hiding all the flaws
Love seemed a while away, yet so did the other day
Fondness comes after the trouble, back to how things were, a couple
Smiles are exchanged, somehow...

Misfortune
Letting someone else's light shine brighter than mine, isn't such a prideful crime,
I should listen to what people have to say, to have the attitude of 'come what may',
Speaking my mind being always kind, the truth is what I then, shall find,
I think, I think, I think too much, I would rather not about such and such,
I learned to appreciate from a distance, family and friends, I love within an...

How much longer?
Still, as I'm placed gently, carefully, so I may not spill over,
Dial me up to medium to simmer the symposium that's eager,
Waiting patiently for my bubbles to burst, to stimulate my undying thirst.

Written in Stone
an epitaph
covered in overgrown grass
numbers and a letter encrypted,
written to the deceased,
for only those who knew him

Hot Spring
the plumes of a caldera,
and the dark clouds,
sun overshadowed,
at its core a scalding heat turned colder
because of similarities
shared this simile

an unforgiven embrace

Table Manners
he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal
had to-go
then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back
the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress
I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic
Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it
nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on
The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,
it’s silica content

government funded electric vehicles

Through Chestnut Eyes
It is incredible,
How so small of stares - often end up,
Giving the most enchanting moments to some souls.
The subtle strokes,
Made by those chestnut pupils,
A placid feeling in my heart it instills.
The sun gleamed on every one of these streaks,
Unravelling, the depth with which our eyes meet.
His eyes glittering more than the stars,
And glinted in the sun, like sh...

Surprisingly Secure
Today I looked at my mirror image and didn’t turn away.
I scanned my face and physique without any harmful thoughts.
Taking an interest in the fabric that I wear, not the skin beneath it.
Seeing myself as a complex creature, not a simple sex doll.
Admiring the way my hair falls around my face and my necklace matches my earrings.
How my blue eyes stand out submerged in eye shadow and...

love-hate relationship
obsession …

Fog of War
smoking barrels
in talks —about the past
around the campfire
you could cut the tension with a knife
the only thing needed is a good sense of humor
And,

side by side
do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
behind every great man is a great woman…

Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.
Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.
The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

Black Fire
Everyone has a fire in their soul
A bright passion that makes them whole
An urge to follow like a fool
A desperate need to fulfill no matter how cruel
A bright spark in their eyes
A light that never dies
A wonderful dream that never lies
A reason to get up and rise
A star in their hearts to answer their wishes
A burning desire inside their chests
A cheery pe...

Pain Relief
When will it go away?
The pain in my chest
Pain in my stomach
Pain.
It’s repetitive and never stops
It creeps up on me like bugs
Stings like a wasp
Bites like a mosquito
And leaves, taking a small part of me
Some say it’s a part of life
Maybe I don’t want that
If this is life
Maybe I don’t want any p...

Waxing Poetic
my love letter
stamped with a pair of pressed lips
licked,
then sealed with a kiss
the silent observer.
waiting for his moment
with the present
trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud
smothered in your undergarments
while fire from the two flames
arose
on a magic candle
over and over
like a brazier come undone

I don’t want to be seen
I don’t want to be perceived
I wish I could go anywhere and be invisible.
People are everywhere

They’re all living their own lives but why do I feel as though mine is being watched?
As though they’re looking for a mistake in me
Is my hair messy?
Is my outfit mismatched?

Doctor's Visit
I am a silly boy
Today it crept down my skull
and trickled across my collar
and filled my arms and groin
with heat and blood and sparks
I panicked and squirmed and screamed
I had no control,
asked my doctor to help
He told me, with a patronizing paternal smile,
that I was feeling
happiness
Thursday 15th August 2024 10:51 pm
in the darkness, lights
I was ready made for grief.
to live an ode to a common thing,
this elegy to peace.
and on the days that I feel nothing,
I torment the stillness behind my eyes
because feeling is proof of living.
and I so badly want to be alive.
to dig deep in the scar garden,
to excavate my hollow pit,
to sow a lifetime of memories
of being just out of reach.

Specter
I cast away my ego just to see you smile,
Only to watch you vanish like a ghost in the night.
That specter still haunts me,
Each time I remember you,
Stealing my rest.
Surely, it lingers to teach me a lesson.
I hope it’s something valuable,
Something to make me stronger,
To help me understand this abandonment,
And fill this void inside.
I am not alone; your spect...

Loneliness
Loneliness is feeling isolated even when someone stands beside us,
A companion who shares our days but leaves our soul empty.
Surrounded by familiar faces, we doubt if they truly love, value, or respect us.
When our days feel like wasted moments, irretrievable and lost.
When dreams and goals fade into “I’ll never succeed,”
And we’re consumed by the fear of being the failure we see ourselves a...

Unable to distinguish between reality And the fictional world I built in my head,

The scorching heat of Sun,
children playing in ponds and having fun.
The temperature may rise,
and if you are enjoying it.
You are also wise.
That is Summer!
The feel of blowing wind,
And because of the sweat,
our bodies get thinned.
and my sister’s flying hair.
And if we go out too much,
our skin gets dark from fair.
That is Summer!

But it’s just my bed, right?

we were close when i was little
you called me your sugar plum fairy
sat by my bed when my dreams were too scary
I didn't know then that our relationship was so brittle

you rip me apart and then try to patch me up with glue

It was on my first of many elevator rides

when she spoke to me
or to God
or to the elevator door
saying:
