Letting Go by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Letting Go

Letting go of you Is more than I can handle, Letting go of our love, Takes more than just a thought. Letting go of your embrace Is like letting go of my heart. But letting go of you Will give me a fresh start. Even though I'm afraid, I know I won't be alone, Even though I'm alone, I know I won't be weak. For even though I am weak, I know he will be strong, And when I let him be strong, I know I won't be far. To look upon your face, Anytime would be too soon. To breathe another word, My breath would be wasted. To listen to you speak Would only bring me down, Undoing what's been done, Anchoring me to you. I don't need yo

Wings of Love by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Wings of Love

our fingers intwined, our spirits aligned, within us we find a love that will bind us together so tight, so forever we might walk into the daylight to the end of twilight and fly over the sun, our wings become one, and stretch over to run across lands yet to come. the moon in your eyes, you reach over the skies, to bring me the prize, for which my heart cries it is love that you give, and a full life to live, and this love will outlive any fault to forgive.

Longing by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Longing

ever reaching, ever longing, always wanting, more of you. my eyes see not the vision they yearn for, my hands touch not the skin of your hand. the distance, though great, does not divide us, in spirit we are one. if i were on the moon, and you on the sun, our hearts would still together be. even when the sun and moon collapse, our love will still shine bright, it will lead the way, and light our footsteps to the other; meeting in time, finally, your lips upon mine.

Cast Your Burdens by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Cast Your Burdens

Cast your cares upon me, Meet me in the morn, Gather round my feet and cry, I will bear the thorns. I'll carry you through rocky soil, To a fertile land, When you need me, I'll come running, I'll always lend a hand. These tears of joy and sorrow Running down my cheek Are just for you, my love, Fragrant flower of peace. And now as you take your steps, Failure is never a fear, For I will guide your precious feet, And always linger near.

Narcissus by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Narcissus

Abide with me awhile fair youth of Thespia, son of Cephissus mighty and Liriope so fair. A gift from Nemesis goddess great I am to slake the thirst that burns within and cannot be quenched by man, woman or nymph. O lovely shadow, O company, Come quickly, come in the night. We will stare into One another's eyes, And with our love, Bring light to this night. Drink with enraptured gaze my unrivaled beauty, then close your eyes and taste my kiss of moist ambrosia sweet . A cool caress like finest silk, embraces best enjoyed by thought unmarred by man's corrupt and putrid flesh. Beware my love lest you touch with ough

Whispers of Love by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Whispers of Love

Strangers then, Family now, Time's decay Brings joy in sorrow. You are there, And I am here, But I can feel Your presence near As you whisper close, And hold me tight, In your heart, And in your mind. And as I sleep, You join me in dreams, Of time spent together On a summer's eve. And getting to see One another's face Will make each day So full of grace As I go through my life, I will be forever By your side as your wife, And we will smile together.

Waiting by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Waiting

Alone, You sit, Along the curb Waiting for a light, A candle to warm you. This cold night Intrudes within, Multiplying its mind, Chasing you thin. You sit, In the stillness, Along the edge, And as your heart beats, You hang your head The weight of it all Comes pouring down, Over your eyes, Over your soul. Alone, You sit, This time alive, And broken inside, But opened to light. You sit, not alone, But wrapped in my arms, You gather your strength From me, And stand.

Resuscitation by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Resuscitation

the dark side of the moon is out tonight, fearful in its dreading, the torment and the tears stream down, as you look towards me. your eyes are glazed and cannot see the endless, sunless light emanating from above, alive, the chosen one. but you are dreary, in your pool of blood and sick teardrops, you'd rather drown than swim to shore, to see me, see his face. bound to the darkness, yet these chains, unbreakable as they seem, are not so. the light breaks through, forces, violently, eyes fly open, suddenly aware. you drink it up, and then call out, for now you are truly free. i come to you, and we bask together with

CD - Spin Cycle by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

CD - Spin Cycle

I am your release, Spinning round and round, Electronic muse, At your service. I am daily popped in, spun, In this crazy spin cycle, All for your pleasure. I am your voice, When you have not the words To say what you mean. You find meaning in engravings On my reflective face. Sometimes you put me away, For weeks or months, And use others for this same enjoyment. Your mood, your emotion, Decides who you will pick. And I lay waiting, Reflecting rainbows in the light, Wondering how you're feeling, Or if you'll take me out tonight, For yet another spin.

Betrayal by poeticaftermath, literature

Literature

Betrayal

See the reflection of the moon In one another's eyes, See its countless faces As it bribes away the prize, The night, long and lonely, Turns to see me die, Then coerces your reality, And transcends your whispered lies. The light it shed Upon my face Gloomy and betrayed, Was not for you, Your blasphemy, Your parched promised land. But every time I look You're there, Everywhere I see Your face. Eyes wide open, I pull the knife Out of my back And walk towards freedom.

Flowers in a House by samus-merid, literature

Literature

Flowers in a House

Flowers in a House In this house, every room blossoming to a new world, From the bed room, feather bed petals to entreat peace of mind, To the garage, where all of the gardens lost seeds are unfurled. Once again to the attic where the thorns of life are easy to find. Running down the stairs we hide like children in the closet, But listening hard, we hear others in this world of ours, Cookies! Sweeter than rose petals to one who finds it. Laughing so hard, we can barely breathe as we lay in the flower beds for hours. To find, that past the place where we grew like flowers, From the kitchen, The wrecked hill was a kingdom, its mussel

Jeanine turned her lips up with a smirk as she withdrew the smouldering paper tube from her mouth. She tossed her greasily subdued hair, dropping the cigarette to the station floor, and smothered the blossoming black rosebuds floating from the tip with her boot. The dust-blackened green plastic clock suspended from the ceiling read 11:40. In two minutes, the last train would pass through the station, vomiting its hordes of overused women and drunk business men onto the platform. She'd watch as they would crowd into the grimy escalators and stumble through the gates, fumbling with their little magnetic tickets. The night air was brisk and sme

Please Help!

0 min read

Hey, anyone who has me on their friends list, I'd like to ask you all a favor.  I'm thinking of entering a poetry contest at my school in a month or two, and I need to figure out which poems to submit.  Please let me know which poem of mine has been your favorite one.  If you haven't read enough of them to know, then go read some if you have the time, and let me know.  I would really appreciate your help.  Thanks so much. :hug: :rose:

Poetrycafe Stuff...

0 min read

This is a comment thingie I was going to leave on the poetrycafe page... but then I decided people might get offended or think it was too harsh... so I'm going to post my rant here. Um, is no one interested in the club anymore??  We've been having the same contest going on for a long time now, and only like one person has voted.  I don't want to be mean, but it seems like people are only interested in joining the club so they can be cute and have an icon by their name and say they belong.  But if people are just joining to join, they shouldn't join, cos being a part of a club means participating, in one way or another.  I'm not going to poin
