Tilted Poetry.

A place for people to express and impress.....maybe even depress.

A crooked smile, it's been awhile
Memory a decade past
Familiar faces found in a name
The things once done a flooded reminder
Dawg days and Hals inflection, reminding me of Phils reflection
Cynthetic thought evades detection
This old place will never change while headed in a new direction.

 

It all matters, all of it
Breath in your freedom until it hurts
Know who I am as yourself...knowing
When everything matters, all of it
There lies freedom
Grasp the edge thats showing
Hold on tightly to love we have, ignore the pain with scented roses
This seldom anguish enough to scream
He had a dream

 

Breonna Taylor has no Jailer
None of earthly form
Fallen angels born of failure
Yet angels get no scorn
Say her name but never hear
The ladies hateful words
Enjoy the martyr, stoke the fear
Lick up your rewards
The city burned and you to blame
No phoenix ashes hatch
And nothing ever be the same
You folks have spoiled the batch.

 

I can't see the flowers, but they are there
Nestled lightly on your cheek
Happy dancing with your hair
Fading blush from red of lips, from beauty in sky eyes
Nature struggles to compare but she tries
Cobalted ocean to your eyes
Breeze in fields of wheat your hair
That sunset pastel so rare
Invisible flowers and I don't care
When mother nature pouts it is not fair

You put flowers in your hair.

 

I haven't written a poem in a really long time. I think this one was the most recent.

 

So write one now....right now.

Mind in flux, just a thought
Sometimes sucks to think too hard
Ever do you wonder
This time I bought with credit card
Credit gifted as hearts are lifted.

The Darkness

The darkness swallows me whole.
Each waking hour a nightmare just begun.
Sleep, sleep, sleep away the day,
If only I could.

I picture myself happy, laughing.
What a joke.
Misery is what I feel.
Misery is what I am.

Friends, relations, co-workers,
All say, "Snap out of it. Look what you have"
Glass half empty, darkness all around.
That's how I see the world.

Tumor, faulty wired brain, lunatic, cancer
They're all the same to me.
Darkness covers all.
Too much pain to see.

"It's all in your head"
As if I didn't know that.
Why can't you just let me go.
I feel death call out, "Come to me and I'll end your sorrow"

If it only were that easy.
The gun, pills, electricity, drowning, car crash.
All have crossed my mind.
Sweet release all.

I cry out, but there's no reply.
Abandonment, betrayal, loneliness, hurt.
That's what my friends gave me
Friends? Hah! Better to live with my enemies.

Family? Comfort? None found there.
All are out for their own good.
Too caught up with their own problems
No time for the crazy man.

Darkness, darkness covers all
And yet, here I am, caught, trapped, unable to move.
Too many responsibilities to go.
Too much pain to stay. I'm in limbo.

 

A smile, in my head
I make these thoughts but know I did
Forcing sorrow to be dead, such is my power
The things I do amaze myself
The things they do amaze be too
But not in the happy dreams desired....makes me tired
Thus the vampires retired as if fired
Such is my power, making joy devoured
My thoughts defeat you
