All Alone

Heartbreak and healing

I notice you standing on the corner, looking lost. As I make my way over to you, I notice your sparkling blue eyes on the verge of tears.  "Are you okay?" You look at me, and the tears escape. "I'm all alone." I stop fully and whisper back, “No, you're not.” I can see the fear and uncertainty on your face and in your eyes. I take your hand and say, "Come, walk with me, tell me what's wrong." You say nothing at first. We j...

To flourish in hillsGreen and sereneWhere flowers and trees are free to bloom,Grow, multiply and existWithout the fear of ever being harvestedWhere tears fall from a saddened skyAnd moisten the groundTo welcome a new addition to paradise We needn't mourn the loss of another A sister or brother A wife or mother A friend or other A son or daughter A husband or dadWe should be glad they chose to visitAnd think of all the goo...

Hide and Seek

Is one ever really alone?

Full moon shone from the night.Traces of shadows outlined bright. The landscape lit up as if daylight.Playing hide and seek such a delight. Darker reaches playing tricks on my eyes.Is something hidden, lurking in disguise? Searching silhouettes for life's existence.Maybe creatures hunting for subsistence. Nothing to be seen in this dimness.Am I alone in this partial darkness? Does nothing else in the night subsist?Only th...

The End

A true story.

You lay in my arms Your breathing so shallow Tears abound The end is near We had each other For a short time But we always knew The end was near A wee babe So weak, so frail The end drew near So much effort To help you live The end came near Tears fall Prayers rise The end so near Answered prayer Angels rejoice The end...is here

She lay on the bed, eyes closed. Taking her vibe in hand, She would pleasure herself. He was so far away and she missed him. *** His face filled her mind as she began to stroke. The vibration felt good against her skin And she knew it would be swift. She'd abstained until she could be with him again. *** However, she simply could not wait any longer. As she made quick, firm little circles, She could hear his voice in her...

As I disappear in to the darkness. The cold surrounds me, The bitterness sets in The light becomes dim The day is gone The night has come The emptiness swallows me whole The darkness fill me in The pain of the day Fades way to the cold of the night Lay there in the darkness begging for sleep Nay sleep never comes I toss and I turn I close my eyes to the night I open my ears to the sounds I fell nothing but stillness I ach...

I was a part of them and yet I wasn't A friend, a convenience, an occasional invited guestOr so it seemsA part of the world I'm surveyingFrom far above it, in spaceSwimming through the embryonic sacOf another discovered wormholeCursed to cycle in a circular motionLike waves to the coasts, on the beach, near the ocean Or so it seemsA beast most would wish not to burden themselves withIn whispers they say that I'm wrong to...

Second Place

When did our flame burn out?

Can I ask you a question,From deep in my mind?Will you give me the answerOr is it just not time?For me to find outIf what we have is real?What I want to knowIs if we mutually feel,For I feel you move fartherAway every day,And I don’t think you hearWhat I try to say.I want back the old usThe two we once were,Why do I feel likeThere’s another ‘her?’Who’s replaced me in your life,Who’s stolen my space?Is she real, is she bet...

He becomes violent caused by locked up pain fighting it he can't He becomes cruel blaming those he once loved of all that is wrong He locks up his heart but you read it in his eyes that he cries from pain He becomes the one who scares you constantly but you refuse to leave his side He becomes.

Expectations

Putting the past where it belongs, behind me.

You fell short of my expectations, took up time and created frustration You knew what to say and what to do, it's as if I was a challenge for you You fed me lies I chose to believe, that was me being naive It was not long before your poison set in and I chose to believe everything you did You had me doubting myself, acting crazy, acting out Always believing it was something I'd done, when it was you turning my words aroun...

I might have dreamed a thousand timesJust how I'd say what's on my mindI've yet to be the things I've beenI searched love's seasI've played to winThe happinessThat once was trueWithin my heartBecause of youTurned into tearsI cried and weptRekindled fearsI barely sleptI knew it allI told you soNow how else willOur garden grow?And where can IFind the desireTo soldier onWithout love's fire?

Console Me

Its my heart and soul bursting out

Hold me close Let my tears run like the river bed Drying it like soft cotton clouds It hurts deeply So deeply It burns like an outed cigarette bud In ashes Black like charcoal Console me My frail voice chants My fragile heart is diagnose Broken Torn Ripped like old quilt sheets I am no more Goddess of love Like Greek or Roman mythology I am in a dilapidated state That my body perfumed By rosary scent is now Stench of hate...

Little Victories

To those who champion the day, one minute at a time.

I woke up tired but inspiredThen my dog desiredTo disobeyAnd run awayThat kills my dayThen I heard a dropFrom my rooftopI took a peekAnd found a leakThat kills my weekI lost all ambitionAnd want for nutritionI rarely ateA healthy plateThat kills my weightIt will be nine yearsI lost her so dearWith pain I partToward a new startThat kills my heartThe torment I feelTime has not healedNor the daily rifeFilled with strifeThat...

I think I finally understand now that there is something wrong with me; the ways I over analyze everything. The doctor tells me otherwise. She says all these nice things like I shouldn’t be so sad because I’m an "extremely cute boy;" things my mother can tell me. She's always laughing and telling me how lucky I am to be so cute and to have such a good personality. I can’t help but wonder if she would still tell me these t...

Friday "I want you out of this house." Silence as I pack. "You're better off dead than doing what you're doing! You know that!? You're better off fucking dead!" I continue to pack...shirt sleeves (it's October), hoodies, Deodorant.... "That's what these drugs will do to you...they're going to fucking kill you, slowly and painfully. You're better off fucking dead!" Maybe I am...I don't know. I continue to pack: Xbox games,...
