Poetry for killing time

[atmas]

This is new for me. But a dream last night made me think. I will try my best.

Sometimes I wonder where you've gone
It hurt, but it was what needed to happen
Forever it could not last

I miss you with all my heart
I miss you in my hand
Only with you could I strike out

You will never come back to me
But, that is alright
It's not the pain that hurts

It's the loss

Your best does well.

 

[Spence99]

Your best does well.

Thanks! I'm branching out!

Well done Spence. I am sorry for your loss as well. I'm here for you. Just call on me.

Thanks so much honey!

Thanks so much honey!

*Big Hugs*.....nods! x 10 Sometimes our losses come in many forms. But then we fill those holes with other things, do we not?

I can never fill that hole gorgeous! I miss it so much. But we all have to move on.

Forgive Me

Worn and ragged from desperation,
feet too numb to display predictable dance,
I must set you free.
Entangled in your blackened, silk web of delusion,
blue-cold hands encase my soul.
Where there once was life, there is pulse no more.
Wilted, brown-edged petals drop from the bud.
Blurred memories tarnish in soot.
Arms reaching out to drag you from your misery,
rip away, before tranquil death engulfs me,
in a deep dark sea of your plight.
Like crisp laundry, twisting in the breeze,
the heart of the martyr twitches.
Forgive me.

Harsh reality

You told me I was your world
You rocked mine
Caresses flowing across smooth skin
Comfort in your arms at dawn
Fingers gliding through silken tresses
Falling free without a net
Passionate lips aflame with desire
Paradise beyond these walls
Watch your chest rise under my chin
Wiggle close to hear your sexy gentle snore
Azure eyes gaze fingers tracing soft curves
Awakened by masculine scent teasing my nostrils
Ever the illusion conjured up by the lonely soul that weeps
Encased within shimmering silken sheets that glide across flesh
On side of the bed still made, fingers grasp at the air
One salty teardrop trails down my cheek, welcome to reality

 

[poppy1963]

Beautiful work, prettygrl...keep coming back and bringing your words to us. Thank you!

I cringe to think of it;
laughable imperfections
surging into seas
of hypocrises, of
thing to do to reason,
the reason to do things
to show for show
gone-

and the long longing
for the convoluted volition of love
for she that drinks the seas
sees, drinks, or seasons the surging show,
and perfectly laughs.

 

[prettygrl]

Supernova

Beyond bright celestial starlight tossed in the sky
It was meant to be, the brilliance that we shared
Hemisphere unknown where our bonded spirits joined
You and I met in a distant world
Somewhere between life and death
together our souls
passionately embraced
stripped down bare and vulnerable...
Raw taste of lustful carnal desire
Fires of hell burnt ash scorching flames ignite fury
Combined calm chilled winds of heaven engulfed inner peace
Our minds eye saw us there, man and a woman
Born of seed human as one connected for all time

 

[atmas]

Oh, my...

You told me I was your world
You rocked mine
Caresses flowing across smooth skin
Comfort in your arms at dawn
Fingers gliding through silken tresses
Falling free without a net
Passionate lips aflame with desire
Paradise beyond these walls
Watch your chest rise under my chin
Wiggle close to hear your sexy gentle snore
Azure eyes gaze fingers tracing soft curves
Awakened by masculine scent teasing my nostrils
Ever the illusion conjured up by the lonely soul that weeps
Encased within shimmering silken sheets that glide across flesh
On side of the bed still made, fingers grasp at the air
One salty teardrop trails down my cheek, welcome to reality

You cannot even begin to know how poignantly this resonates with me today, on this very day.

"It was not love's fleeting that haunts my days// but that it went in such little ways..."

I'm sorry to hear that *hugs*

As it is written it is better to have love and lost, than to never love.


Sorrowful Surrender

shattered heart
misery in depth
consuming your spirit
weld the pieces
solder and seal
end agony and pain
cure the affliction
expose your heart
cleanse the soul
wake the new day
wipe your tears
dry your eyes
barren soul
for intimacy lost
composure gained
accessible to passion
fruitful once again

The glamour queen
She strikes a pose
Sociable entity
In the limelight
That she chose

Femme fatale with
All the flair
See her float
Without a care

Take a closer look
And you shall see
She is not as happy
As appears to be

You do not see
Do not tell
She has the need
To expel

Her frail skeletal
Fashion existence
Slowly disappears

Suddenly losing
Her dignity and charm
Worshiping her
Porcelain God

 

[bronzeage]

Nothing

We have to not talk.
There is something
I have to not say.
What does it matter
what it cost me
to give you up.
When the choice
is all or nothing
and all is not mine to give,
can I gift wrap nothing
and make it pretty.
If I give you nothing,
how can nothing take
so much out of me.
I will say nothing
or risk one kind word
or smile from you
and weaken my will,
because when I said
I would leave
before I hurt you
I never thought
I could.

 

[prettygrl]

Moonbeams illuminate nightfall
Starburst glowing in the heavens.
Slumber escapes my grasp as tears
Slide down to soak my pillow.
Come to me darling; shadow my
naked soul.
Take me in your arms;
Love me till the dawn,
Your wrath intoxicating my being.
Comfort this shell that once flourished.
Set me back aflight. Give me strength,
hope, nurturing and tenderness.
Care for my spirit that my wings may soar.
Gentle caresses revive all that was cast away.
Rekindle the magic.
Repossess my heart.

I write one to two poems a day.

Not necessarily are they quality.

Keeping my average going, thanks.

This is one I call.

The Demon


The Demon chases me at night
It waits for me ready to pounce
It wants me in its grasp

The Demon looks for me
It searches, its eyes drunk with love
It follows me forever

The Demon is not my friend
It wants and desires me
It reaches for me

The Demon can be beaten
It can be pushed away
It doesn't need to have me

The Demon will be gone
