Mine ( Feb 28, 2014) 4th Rhyming Poem

One finger.
One trigger.
The world painted dead.
One blade.
One moment.
The words left unsaid.
For there in the emptiness of which my soul dwells.
Derives the demons from the deepest of hells.
They know no better, as it’s written in design.
Yet belonging to no other, these demons are mine.
They are the sweetest of nightmares and scariest of dreams.
No longer is life all that it seems.
One  last breath then these demons shall win.
One last night and my soul will give in.
For here in shadows of which my pain thrives.

Clings the last faint words of a woman who dies.

Marked ( Feb. 27, 2014)

I can never erase you,
 like a pen, 
you permanently etched yourself into the pages of my mind.
And although I may attempt 
to blacken you in and move on from the ruined words,

the memory of what was once written,
 now a dark smudge, 
will forever stain the chapters of my life.

Love is Pain ( Feb. 26, 2014 )

My internal being screams for salvation
Hunger striving through my veins
I must feed
How am I to survive if I can not indulge myself with the joys of life.
Withering  away to a rotted carcass
I am nothing but an empty shell of what I once was
Here I lie burdened by the overwhelming numbness that I have succumbed to
Am I to blame for my own destruction
Lost in pure agony of my own self pity
Or yet is it the demons that buried their way into my mind
For oh how I adore my demented friends
So evil , so seductive
Their fire caressing my everlasting soul
Who am I to fight such an attractive feeling
With blood running down my legs, tears down my eyes, I have never felt more alive!
Passion coursing through my veins 
Hot desire filling my body as I begin to tremble
My hunger satisfied for a moments time
Contrived of the most utterly delicious  temptations
Finally I am  seduced into what seems to be an obscurity of nirvana
Adrift  in my own subconscious 
For these are my ravenous proclivities
A deranged sense of a dream but yet the most enticing sense of a nightmare.
Thus with the forbidden thirst that lingers deep within the trenches of my vitality  

I find a love so raw, yet so true, that only pain itself in the most tormenting form could honestly understand.

Life and Death ( Feb. 25, 2014 )

I cant breathe…
-Slit my throat, give me air.
My head hurts…
-Stab my mind, make it stop.
I lay numb …
-Rip my flesh, make me bleed.
Yet I cry…
-Sow my eyes, make it dark.

Save me, kill me.
Love me, kill me.

My body aches…
-Break my limbs, take away the reason.
My hands shake…
-Strip me of their presence, make them still.
My veins turn cold…
Burn their being, make them warm.
And my heart shatters…
Step on the pieces, leave nothing  to salvage.

Save me, kill me.
Love me, kill me.


I live, I die. The end.

Splash ( Feb. 25, 2014 )

Slowly I fall,
Loosing my grip I begin to decay.
You were my rock.
… as unstable as it was at least I stayed above.
Now I drown.
The tears that were once under me
Have now become the ocean I die in.
My rock vanishes, my heart stops, splash

I am gone.

Sweet Nightmares ( Feb. 25, 2014 ) 3rd Rhyming Poem

Do you remember those nights you made me scream
The nights you killed a child’s dream

The days you had me fake a smile so wide
Then slowly tortured the soul inside

Or how about the evenings you made me dread
Just a slit of the wrist or a bullet in the head

For that’s all it would take , just one quick sec
Then I’d be gone, along with the rest

The pain , the hurt, the scars, all of it erased
No longer the horror of what I once had to face

And now here I am in the utter darkness of death
Gasping for air, yet seizing of breath

So with one last line to wish you good bye

Sweet dreams my fair beauty, may you sleep through the night.

Strive To Find Your Own Voice ( Feb. 25, 2014 )

Since the day we were born we were  told that we couldn’t.
And every day after that we were  told that we wouldn’t.
And then after that we were  told life was too hard.
And to top it all off “our goals were too far.”

For no matter what we did we were  thought always to fail.
Their minds were the hammer, their words were the nails.
That pierced through our souls in attempt to hold us down.
Yet come to find out the strength we had found.

In fact we were  stronger then most really knew.
Honestly we are probably even stronger then you.
Yes you the one who told us those horrible lies.
Who tried to keep our eyes low…away from the skies.

But the chains have been broken
our spirits are free
Our bodies unbound
You gave us the key

You pushed and you shoved
 You slashed and you kicked
You took what we loved
And you tried to constrict

Yet all of those things with in us you dare try to kill
Gave us the knowledge, it gave us the will.
To grow beyond what any could see.

To strive for our goals and finally be free.

Perceptions Of The Unknown ( Feb. 25, 2014 )

Such sweet and nimble words
Yet lost to the tendencies of a questioning mind
Spoken with no satisfaction in the opposing direction
And forever to be molded into another’s conception of a thought
With no two alike we become unknown
All that we are is merely an agreement, and argument, or perhaps that that holds no indulgence what so ever
Relations failing,
 the idea of being understood  but yet a obscured misrepresentation of  each others own perceptions.
We know nothing of one another besides the embodiments in which we are given way too.
Even then we lack in the idea of penetrating  someone else’s subconscious,
Yet in complete reality, can we even take meaning of our own.
It is today that we find ourselves truly undiscovered and unexplained.
Nothing more than a mystery walking through an anomaly all in itself.
Thus here we are
 So miniscule in comparison, yet so magnificent in creation.
Perhaps one day when all Is over we will finally find an answer
Perhaps we won’t and our inquisitions will be left to roam another day
Yet no matter the de nu mont, it is the will for all things … that we discover something other than what we think we know.

And  in that, who it is we think we are.
