FEAR (Remove filter)
Souvenir
Getting acquainted with the moon
behind glass
we exchange so many glances
and on my back
a thousand heart-attacks roll past
My fingers beside, cross and uncross
as you sleep, so black
back in the real world
paid up entirely
on your subscription
to actual reality
O would you bring me a souvenir
from the envious depths of endless peace
perhaps a child or a patient nurse
or some cont...

Written in anger and confusion
Should the feelings of guilt
outweigh those of resentment?
Is the fear of loneliness
worth more than fear of rage?
Is it wrong to long for simplicity
and abandon the search for contentment?
Is it right to write words of anger
on a blank, unforgiving page?
Is it wise to seek solace in poetry
when every act of writing
is seen as an act of selfishness
that can ne...

Knock Knock
You and your trust issues
Me and mine
You have your fears
And your doubts
About me
And I have mine
But every time
We try to rationalize
And prove to each other
That the pieces don't fit
The sentences get left
Unfinished
Back and forth
Like whiplash
Seeing how far I'll go
Until I look back
Keeping me comfortable
At a distance
Have...

Real Life Nightmare
Every moment to fear,
Forever holding back internal tears.
Life- so complicated,
forever indecisive.
The world too big, too scary,
my mind so full of queries.
Never certain, never happy,
each decision could be deadly.
An escapes impossible,
every outcomes implausible.
Sinking under water,
Always being taken for a martyr.
The pain runs so deep,
Barely able to ...

Misplaced Memory
Minds mould cannot always bend to the will - Look!
A blur of surreal reality:
it’s vivid, a memory, a means
but travel through years
and maybe it’s a dream,
or the worst fear:
(for the youth with infantile stretch marks to hear)
Forgotten.
For the youths with flat ironed flesh and barely dogmarked ears,
what we all fear
is to forget.
Tell the boy with the newly ...

Fear and Wonder
The headlights from the oncoming vehicle
held the stunned animals in their grasp
The beams like a claw clasping around its prey
An unholy ray screaming silently into the night
Distant, but penetrating.
Approaching still closer,
terror in their hearts,
the vehicle turned off the road
And transformed into a rainbow
Dazzling colours and many forms.
Behold a crystal,
the prism of light br...

Percentage You
I wonder of 100,
How much of you I've seen,
I've seen your 2 or 10 percent,
As you have seen of me.
I wonder if you'll trust me,
With 10 percent more you,
Say 20 percent total,
Ill give the same to you.
I wonder if my percent me
would be safe with you,
No reassurance? Give it back!
Lets keep it back at 2.

Full Circle
Full Circle
It’s here again. Bring the tissues. Hide away the blades. Its coming
full force
Into our home, our hearts, our souls, here. It’s in
My mothers eyes as she stares blankly, unblinking, it’s in
nanna’s shaky voice, breaking. ‘what were you thinking?’
Its carried in by broken promises, screams th...

Chronic
I have recently read
That pain is the hardest
Situation a human can
Try to explain.
If that’s so,
Is fear considered
To be pain?
Does pain have to
Be a broken bone?
A head ache?
A tight chest?
A burn?
Is pain not
The anxiety of waiting
For everything to fit?
Is pain not
The force of trying
to piece together
two completely different
puzzles to become one?
I can never...

Fear
{Fear}
The morning dew is
on my shoes the birds
are chirping and singing
their tunes as the
morning sun brightens
up the sky with warm
crisper air that made
you take a deep breath
into your lungs waiting
to exhale
And
I fear
And as the birds goes
silent and the clouds
went a dark bluish gray
with the sun gone
behind t...

Unloveable
I have many scars
You can’t see in the light
Behind my smile
Is a world of pain
Constant battle
With myself
Whether it’s worth it
To try anymore
‘Cause in the dark
I introduced you
To every part of me
Showed you everything
When the sun came up
The truth came out
And without a doubt
I’m unloveable
Should’ve known
Never should’ve...

Fear and Worry
You want to let it go
then let her go
she has her life
and it is quite clearly without you
...........for the time being
Are you frightened of becoming
like your mother?
Hated by the daughter?
Never speaking or giving her the time of day?
Then, I wish you well my dear
Fear is your teacher
and worry your god
I fear for you
and worry for your future
as you do not yet know
what i...

Points
Singular point of hope
balancing in one dimension
drive the stake deep, swing without reservations
for this is the beginning
doubled
added vector
sure footing eyes
to the horizon
averted from the abyss below
another point right planar
temptations of rest
loss of balance still precarious
point added placed correctly
a broad base of stability?
po...

Shy Guy
{Shy Guy}
He was a little bit of
a shy guy who seemed
to keep to himself
besides talking to a
few of his co-workers
where he worked at
And as the neighbor
next door to him saw
him all the time he
reminded her of a
cute fuzzy bear that
played in stars wars
called ewok because
his cheeks was
roundish oval shaped
with a some hair ar...

Control
Intense thick clouds obscuring vision,
Pre planned malice yet no thought given,
A mess of unplaced thoughts surround
Logic whispers but i wont listen
The calm that follows leaves air so thick
A lack of focus a clearing mist
A wind that blows me from where i came
And ignorance is mine again
Exhausting though this place may be
This clouded space is part of me
To leave i need a place of...
