Fair enough, I'll be posting soon.

Psychosis

Stars in my mind go out like a candle in the night,
Black holes of fright are too much to fight.
I watch on with curious contempt as you disappear.
I shake off my feelings, an insincere delight, I
want to crush you into infinite bits of conscious shite.

I often wonder if I could survive the fall from space,
the outer limits of my imaginations face. I stare into
nothing, hoping the vacuum will consume us, maybe then
I could have a piece of the cosmos all for myself. Somewhere
your shadow cant follow and swallow my defining elemental trace.

Just shut up and be quiet, listen to the silence of my wishes
and don't question my existence, leave me in peace, let me
strive without cease, be original and fresh, a billowing success
but your here again, standing in the crowd dressed in a
corporal shroud, frozen in time, my sub conscious mind.

If I shot myself in the head you would laugh before I'm dead,
and I know what would come next, a hell you can imagine:
You play the devil and I am the sinner, you will torment me
relentlessly, you are the truth I cannot escape, the choices
I paved created a hideous grave in which we are now slaves.

Not Around

whispers tell me that you're not gonna be around
the silence says so much
there was nothing between us and somehow
the truth now seems so wrong

disappointment on all sides for the wars that kept us apart
the blood that was shed, spilt in vain
the heart that once fought now lies dead
victim to such a pain

and endless fury trapped in its plight
and my mind, all the voices calling out
"come to me and i'll make you mine
victim of this enchanted rhyme
there are no seasons, we know nothing of time

it's all the same now"

moments envisioned and those so well shared
meant everything
but now gone...

broken
ashamed
alone... in denial

scars on both sides for the wounds that will never heal
and the lies that always brought tears to these eyes
you were always there
you were always so far away

He Stares and Stalks

He stares and stalks
Striding, swaying but fixed
Body strong and unforgiving
pacing, waiting

My heart pounds
it skips and thuds
Eyes locked, following
his lucid movements

Never knowing
Cold and frozen
shivers and pricks
running down my back

Shaking ripples transform
melting, threatening
hot, screaming desire
erodes sweet nectar

My head spins
I smell his flesh
his spice and fire
burning inhale

He grabs
I turn
He growls
I whimper

Eyes looming
enchanting, casting
overtaking
dominance

I fall, and fall
and fall
lost within
sticky charm

This is an old poem. Posting it here since it is the closest to me.

Playing Poker with Hearts

Just a dark room,
with no doors or windows in sight,
the walls closing on me,
squeezing me tight,
I'm scared and unsure,
I don't know what to do,
with no way out,
no hiding away from you,
your words hit my head,
as you sit and play your game,
the stakes are high and I am going to lose,
yet, I don't know whom to blame,
at times i wish, to just run away,
break free from these invisible ties,
I feel suffocated and blinded,
by your fake promises and lies,
but as they say, its beginners luck,
I win on the king of hearts,
I think I have won over you,
oblivious its just because its the start,
you are the master deceiver,
with a poker straight face,
while I am still the rookie,
betting it all on just an ace,
the flop and turn have opened,
hoping for a heart flush to be there,
little do i know, you already have a queen on the table,
and in your hand, a queen pair!
ours is a game of bluff,
where I have blindly let it all go,
But you'll never know what I am playing on,
If I'm losing, I'll fold before I have to show!

OK, so i figured a close out date and its going to be Jan 20th, or when I get 10 entries, which ever happens first.

Broken Steps

Walking along these broken steps
I see a broken tree
I don't know why it thought this
But it made me think of me

The tree, broken down but beautiful
Reminded me of my heart
And how it had been
From the very start

It's extremely loving nature
But as tough as its bark
It's hard to see
Behind the bark that hides my heart

But when you look behind the bark
You see the beauty with in
You no longer see the tears
But the real me that hides with in

When I was walking away from the tree
I found a way for the real me to be
When i was walking on those broken steps
My broken dreams faded from me

No length limit :), havent done one of these in forever

Inspirational/Faith King David
by The Poetic Child

He writes on and on, everything that he's been through,
No blood is lost, when he says he bleeds through his pencil,
Pain and agony manifested into words of torture
When you read it you can feel the burn... scorcher

He emerges pictures in his head of fantasies for the universe
That everyone who laughed at him... become doomed n cursed
He sits and waits though... for the end to come
Cause his minds keeps shifting like a pendulum

But his mind got to wonder, but his minds tormented
Trying to find lee ways that his mind invented
Trying to fight pain, so the pains prevented
But a word crosses his mind, the word repentance

Faith, perseverance, wisdom, these words come idle
That make him question these meanings so he opens the bible
Then he cries out for god, where are you, why do you hide though
Your making my life this hell, Like imgoing Suicidal

He cries though, You lied though,
You promised me happiness but where do my eyes go,
Low, like imhained down by the demons who creep me
They control my emotions, slaved the way that they treat me

But Jesus answers back to him, you never seeked me
It took this much pain for you to come meet me
Every tear you cried, I cried 4 times as much
I yelled for you, but I guess I wasn't loud enough

Put me in your life, I promise you No harm
The demons cant touch you, not even on your arm
How do you know my pain he questions, I cant be calm
then jesus raises out his arm, with the nails stuck in his palm

Hug me and accept me, as you lord and savior
And ill forgive you for your sins, n childish behavior
Ill walk by you, guide you, never leave beside you
And hear your worries, whenever you decide to,

Take my hand, and pray with me, consistently visit
Cause I love to hear your prayers I consistently miss it
He says back but jesus, Im nothing here, Im just worthless
He says that nonsense, you're here for a purpose

Your gonna do such great things, you couldn't possibly hate it
You will loved by many and all, why you think your names david
The beloved one, after gods on will, you have a power son use it
The way you move crowds towards you, wit words and music

You move crowds
Make music
Write songs
And you're a fighter

King David
A shepard
A soldier
Musician
A writer

Tears sweep down as he begins to see revelations
Hes crying in his heart, but out comes no explanation
Jesus takes his hand, and lifts him up weightless
Where he can feel his first breath of freedom, its spaceless

So now he walks on proud, knowing angels surround
He can continue to a journey knowing angels are bound
The evil can touch him, Gods forever prevailing.. winning
And now that hes next to him, its just the start of the beginning

This Is Not Goodbye

How precious it must be to live,
In the presence of all that is you,
When on a day like today I can spend hours,
Awakened by your smile,
Lost in your eyes;
A day that too quickly has drawn to a close,
Before a morning of final goodbyes.
Then like a winged angel you will soar,
To a place so far away,
That all our lives may share as common,
Is the cycle of a day.
So I leave you with this:
When the sun yields to the heavens,
When the black knit back-lit curtain is drawn across the sky,
You will find me,
Waiting for you.
There, where my days will end,
I will think of you beneath those same stars,
And in remembering all the places I have been,
I'll know that none of them compare,
To being where you are.
