We all live to die

In very distinct ways


Habitual smokers

Sweating our sins

Inside a heatwave


A deck full of Jokers

Cards piled on the floor

Impossible to pick up

For lack of lusting for more


The odds are against us

A world trifled with gambit

Pushed into a storm of survival

No way to have planned it

Everyday every day you'll manage

impure thoughts tide against what you've got


brains, brawn; the sun sets before dawn

a prismatic palace of solace and malice


enjoy who you are before you're straying too far

down the trodden path of wolves, and kings

of masks and willowing dreams

the trees scream, instead of rejoice


you try to call back, but you've lost your voice

Freddy Krueger is Dead,

I Beat Him up side the,

now I am getting his accountants books,

and letting those kinds in,

thre psyche ward off the hook,

the only truth to this is,

I bonght 2 books from an elm street,

estate sale, they still get ounces in the mail,

the books are refefereces and ones ecoomics of

the grassrots of the space age, they might of

lost somteing in codeing I'll remember when I read it.

but seriously that kruger deamon is on the loose.

I anin;t no demon desposer I pray some new lights come on,,,,,

This is an ode to the irreversible

to the irresponsible

to the unconditional

and the impossible


You can come back


Locked inside your gated valves

pressure released only through leasure

you can be what you always want

with work from equal measure


You can come back


Leave aside the dripping sadness

pouring from chances unresolved

push away the pain that's surrounding

as if you've never been loved at all


You can come back


Realize there are connections stranding

even among those you hate above all

you can remain yourself and more

you yourself will not be dissolved


You are a comeback


Who you are today need not be bothered

you are what you've most wanted

you can always be what you've desired

without recollecting what's transpired


I wish you the best


I hope your will is as shiny as tired

for when you are weak the time is dire

the more you complete beyond the lazy

will strengthen your soul to be amazing


I wish you the best


Try try try again to love yourself

try try try again to be bold as hell

try try try again to bind your soul and shell

try try try again until you love yourself


I wish you the best


Waver falter shamble and madden

it matters not if again you sadden

for you know where you wish to be

try try try again to defeat your mystery

I guess I could give it a shot, although note my form is ... well changing a lot do to experimentation:


CW. Trans themes. But not explicit.


MMUJIN ROSE


In these notes

For Mmujin Rose

Cealed

In ancient chest

Now in its long rest,

Peeled

Is the lid on box

Covered in chalk,

Dusting.


One could suppose in that old box,

Are old children's toys for a lovely girl.

Yet instead are different toys for someone not her gender.

It was for someone meant to be a boy.

A plight for many a trans girl, not a boy.

And not for the girl with roses in her hair.

She desires amulents of a different flavor everywhere,

In the house of a solitary moonlight.

In the house of solitary moonlight, where the cat always crawls on the wooden fance,

It costs only a tupence, for some feed.

If only could simply be born a normal girl,

And not live to bleed.


In these notes

For Mmujin Rose

Cealed

In ancient chest

Now in its long rest,

Peeled

Is the lid on box

Covered in chalk,

Dusting.


She wilts for her own sake,

And for many others of her kin,

While drinking sake.


Under the moonlight gaze,

She sleeps.

The park where we once played is stripped with wire.

The house where you were born is in rubble.

The church where we went is a makeshift hospital.

The school where we went is now your garrison.


Wreaking havoc has lost it`s charm.

Raping and looting is getting old.

Perhaps you are feeling nostalgic perhaps not.

Perhaps you want to go home.


You never believed their lies, you kept your mouth shut when they asked their foolish questions.

But why did you go along?

You never found joy in violence.

It does not pay or bring glory.

What will you do when it`s over, where will you go?

You never were one for answers.


Along the road came the two thousand.

Tanks and jeeps in their hundreds.

Undefeated, bored and proud.

heading for the line but the line was headed towards them.


From every ditch and every bush, round every corner and from every tree we sprang.

We were ready and you were not.

Bombs, guns and grenades in a single burst left you standing bloody and shocked by the roadside.

I saw a stray bullet hit you in the neck and you fell.


The helicopters came but for fire and smoke they saw nothing and we were gone.



We are living like kings, and these days will last forever.

being yourself


there's a being inside of you

colored red or grey or blue

or whatever color you choose


being yourself


you've swallowed pride and left homes

fished for meaning in tadpoles

skipped across paths toward bad goals


being yourself


the beginning was sacred

you reminisce on the past :

eventually nothing lasts


being yourself


the rocky tunnel shines a light !

the perseverance of your flight

a personality of night


you need to wake up


complicated quantities

vastly more inside than outside

especially enemies


you swallow your pride


your guard is a TNT barrel

forget it and burn it all to hell

there's a life to live within time

a story to tell of your climb


explosive mind


from out of the ashen Earth rose

a fiend so great, nobody chose

to be by its side; it's too much

a reborn hero from zero


with a bad touch


*xin laugh*

Response to It's the Poetry Corner 2020-06-05 20:11:55


I don't know.


it's passionate to feel passive


a pensive return that's massive


large blobs of tears resting on "break"


resisting the urgency of hate


allowing blood to simmer, not boil


an additive of sedation towards turmoil


Let's be the peace.


forget the rest as you forget to eat


diminish slowly-- subjective to cause


believe less in yourself


and more in your flaws


Forget it.


we'll be fine


because one day


we'll decide


the direction of action


or the rest of mind


We all work to survive.

That moment before sun rise,

When your on paradise beach,

You cannot see the apollo side,

But you know it's there cause,

You can see the channel lights,

Of Tampa Bay with a way point,

Of a burning haystack and lazers,

Ybor and MacDill are over there somewhere to dim too really see,

Oh mercy me the morning due fogs

Up the sky.and I see.comeimg in the

Clouds a baby a plane and a hourse,

I retreat to the city upset I'm alone,

Wanting the sun rise o returning time,

It was beautiful site have the firein eye,

A new.cloud is born.a.silo crossbow,

Behold the angel of fire and.heatlightning,

I am blinded for a moment and then I step,

Off the drainage ditch I Wade the waters,

As. Helicopters fly by nuns.come.to.play,

Too proud to be happy I walk away,

Happyness and love begin to set in,

Yes I see pride is a sin,

Ive been shot by the Cupid angel

1.million love hearts to wood lawn,

A.king will arise restore.honor to a bum

For.my.own.demise... I dance homeless in the rain..

What is a dream?


as fortunate and fantastic as a dream is


it's tethered to more than a being is


it's whatever you think being is


and before you blink, you're seeing it


and before you know, you're believing it


coming into alignment


your self + environment

I'm sorry if what I said I didn't mean


My life is terrible balance upon a balancing beam


Shifting this way & that way


Changing many moods on a bad day


Entirely consumed from sad-stays


Rain brings gloom & pain brings back mad-hate


. . .


I shudder at the thought of going back


So much so that I might break in half


But I enjoy what little sorrow I find


Inside the cusp of your laughs

I work so much


heat up from gold rush


bust ass in summer grass


sweat, blood, and payment


spent on fun-- fuck savin'


just kidding-- buck makin'


throw it in the bank


pay an artist to thank


as if I'm sayin'


"Thanks for entertainment,"


"here's to your growth."


Forever keep slaying.

the world is so vast

and full of life

yet i'm empty inside


i cry


sometimes the world cannot laugh

because of the times

and yet my smile is wide

crying rn I can't believe this is my first poetry from last year and it's crunge. Pls leave your thoughts for this HAHAHAHA


1880


The late 19th century flourishes the scenery

As nocturnal night penetrates the troposphere in prosperity

Paid hundreds of pennies to a trip around the world

Just to find the damsel he would love and would love him


People say that love is a distraction, weakness

But nor his senses took heart of it

80 days of voyage and dedication

The era of steamboats and horse equestrians brings a tingle


Borders have the chap crossed

Thick and thin, he would not fit in

But he would go through

He can go farther


He can diverse through the delicate pleasurable places to the most devastating landscapes

All for that one ideal woman

A woman wouldn't be the perfect word

But a spouse would be


Days later has he finally stepped foot Infront of the damsel's pure blood red heels

Elaborate she was painted from top to bottom

Had the most genuine smile and emotions


Few years passed, till the day came

"Milady, shall we hold hands and sugarcoat it with a kiss?"

"Oh darling, you've jumped over the moon; of course why wouldn't I?"

"I promise, that we shall begin our legacy here"


No longer was he a bachelor roaming around the streets

Now a fairly majestic young man

If he were to collect memories before he met his dearest

He would call it "The Death of a Bachelor"



No longer ShidoniDrella, its Dawnie_Drella now losers!!

the plate is heavy, I'm scheduled already


i want to make it to home plate


absent with absolutely no home base


but I gotta take it steady


make sure my shoes' laced


make sure my dome a full crate


Anxiety in my head used against me


Energy forming, time turning, what am I, depressing ?


Am I learning ? Am I regressing ?


Is what's next more side-stepping ?


I hope not


. . .


Of course not


I've grown from the dirt, a curse, a belligerent friend


I've tried my best, my worst, met a deader than dead end


I've thought I was stuck forever, but turned my life in reverse


Now what do I do when I'm given the life I was birthed ?


I simply grew, I simply knew, better


There was something more there


There was pride and joy there


There was more than just the weather, there was what was in store there


Couldn't snuff out my own fire, but I've destroyed hair


Stress ain't something to admire, but i was formed there


Nothing but to smile and appreciate the goodness


The facts are the facts, I'm lucky to be able to run a mile


And I've gained respect for and from the hood-rich


It's intriguing to say the least


You meet someone society calls a beast


Only to learn there's nothing to tame, only a need to respect the leash


Now I tame myself and craft something I consider unique


I've never seen it done before but these bois are all I need


You don't create a clique, you form a team


What makes it beautiful--is that


And, we're all on the same balancing beam
