You

Ayyyyyyee a mushy love poem!

There's something in your smile that makes it all alright, There's a comfort in your laugh that helps me sleep at night,Something in your voice that gets me through the day. A light in your eye that keeps the darkness at bay. You are, most certainly, the sunshine in my sky,And I can't explain my love for you, so I'm not even going to try.You are simply someone that I cannot live without,You are what makes me happy; it's y...

What is passion to youLove between husband and wifeTheir first lover's embraceA date they had to start this life.What is passion to meWalking hand and handDreaming of tomorrowKnowing it will be so grandWhat is passion to youNewborn that brings much delightBeneath a beating heart, they growUntil bringing them into the nightWhat is passion to meLaughing children all aroundFairytales in books, lyrical songsPretending until y...

Idiosyncratic

The plan has always beenThat this is not part of the planStill, we stand where we standAnd I will forever hold your handBut this is not part of the planIt’s so hard to describeSo no one understandsThis cannot be plannedThis feel withstandsThrough threats and remandsI will always understandAnd things I’ll always knowLike it will continue to growIt is so awesome thoughAnd if you didn’t knowYour touch ignites the greatest  g...

It's Gonna Be Great

A backward poem for backward times

The president is doing greatOnly a fool would thinkOtherwiseMost everyone believesWe should trust himThere is no cause for concernBut some are sayingThe country is in dangerPeople are scaredNothing could be further from the truthEverything is going to be fineNow read from the bottom up…* * *© 2017 by M.P.

This is a world of illusion,where truth gives way to fictionPeople say they want the real,but too much and they will bristle Where those who say they are open,lock you out when they are done,and the non-judgmental among us,will define you by your weakness They tell you to let your light shine though,but only if it stays out of their view,or that you're connected to all,while they hide behind a wall Speak your mind and the...

Welcome to the masquerade, the gowns crafted and handmade, with not a thread in sight frayed, the beautiful on paradeDon your chosen ornate mask, in the revelers, come bask, drink from the gold-laden cask, but for truth, don't you dare askAll of this is perfection, enjoy the scripted action, and those who play the motion, anything else, you can shunHere, we can all hide away, drink your drink and dance and sway, while a f...

The things left unsaid, love that goes unshared, a soul that isn’t unbared, beautiful thoughts unspokenThe fear of being misunderstood, or the crushing pain of rejection, of causing some form of tension, or not finding the wordsThis just isn’t the time,you don’t want to be a burden, or make someone’s day darken, we fear the pain it might createYou already know how it will go, another disappointment, or being judged too ur...

What's the score?

Is it fateHow we relateWhen things are greatWe celebrateWe shift and spinHonoring our winIgnoring our sinsThe darkness withinThere is no painFor me to explainNo way to complainWhen we've gone insaneGoing day by dayIs there any other wayShould I simply stayIs it time to walk awayPerhaps a little napA voyage sans mapNo arms around me wrapNo love to fill the gapUntilWe shift one againRushing through our veinsWe find ourselve...

Tell me you love me, that you’re somehow able, I’ll believe your fable, I’ll feast at that table I’ll give you all you need, take whatever you can, whatever fills your greed, your hunger I will feed And when I hit the wall, after I start to believe, when you’ve left me to fall, after I've given my all There’s nothing left to take, no reason for the fake, you can leave like the rest, a clean and free break I will fade away...

The night continues to falland I become one with the shadows. Struggling to stay afloat,I am stranded in this unrelenting flowwaiting for an ebb that never comes.This tide is not turning. A darkness has awakened in me. You can cut its roots at the surface,but it lives in twisted stemsand thrives in coiled tendrilsthat are anchored in inky depths.It is here that I shrivel and decay.Enshrouded by blackness - though I occasi...

Big Faker

Faking isn't nice

You don't know meAlthough you say you doYou will never understandThe things that I go throughYou don't hear meBut yet you still pretendOffering up false empathyYou pretend, just to pretendYou talk about meLike I'm not even hereThen wonder why I am angryPlease stop faking it, dear.You talk about themLike you've walked in their shoesAnd battled those inner demonsKnowing there's no win or loseYou don't hear themDespite every...

It’s a warm August night, a breeze wafts through the air, trees smoothly swaying in the wind’s gentle might, a billion points of wonder glow as if only for me, while the moon shines on in ever bright, the steady rhythm of oceans washes at my feet, here and now, so much is right

The Book of ME: Intro

A introduction to...ME

==========================I’m writing a bookAll about meAnd my successInside tragedyThat’s how othersPerceive my realityThey offer me pityI do not want nor needSenseless SympathyShould you choose to readDo not feel sorry for meDo not shed a tearI’m happy to be meDancing the border of insanityA door has been openedYou get what is behindI have told this storyWith tequila and limesI forgot all the detailsAdded beats and rhym...

Time Taking

Time is confusing sometimes

I've heard it saidAll things take timeHealing a heartFilling a mindBut in a secondYou are left behindForgotten aloneLove is a dreamFriendships fadedI silently screamSomeone wake meWhat does this mean?Perhaps time changesWho we really areAnd wishes are wastedOn shiny falling starsCatching firefliesTo keep in a jarWondering whyAnd who we've becomeWill we ever beThat special someoneWhat comes nextWhere are we fromIf all thin...
