Oh, Sweet Indulgence

Curls, rosy cheeks,

A mask so sweet,

When she speaks,

Your knees go weak.

 

An angel with a broken wing,

She seeks love’s sting,

Risks angering her beloved king,

Maybe she will just stay for spring.

 

Spring turns into summer, fall,

Her shining glory, dust covers all,

Soon she will be forced to crawl,

Her lovers, she will no longer enthrall.

 

Lonely in the world she creates,

She shakes her wings and waits,

Broken wing gone, leaves it to the fates,

No longer can she make it back to the gates.

 

Saintly mask led her admirers in,

Stayed for the mask of mortal sin,

She now has to live with whats within,

Here is the world’s smallest violin.

My Comeback….again.

I have been neglectful

my old friend,

I forgot the feeling

of paper and pen.

This leaves me regretful

but this is not the end.

I will leave you squealing

with my new found yen.

Into the Fire

Out of the heart and into the fire

That’s where you and I will retire

For we can never aspire

To be what we desired

I’m preaching to the choir

I loved you prior

To you becoming a liar.

Coming to Terms

Heard a song today on the radio
It sang
What’s the greatest chapter in your book?
Are there pages where it hurts to look?”
I gave the thought a ponder or two
Diaries stuffed in the bottom of drawers
Keeping all those secrets moments
Making me cringe at just the thought
Now take all those cringing moments
They might stack up to the ceiling
But I have to give them thanks
If it wasn’t for all those scribbled journals
 I wouldn’t be writing this.

Sleepless Thoughts

I sat talking across from the person that knows me too well.

She is the mirror that I can’t avoid.

I have been fooling myself for so long,

I don’t normally get away with it this long.

Trying to justify my inner feelings

 

It’s normally a breeze to put feelings on paper,

But I’m having a hard time admitting those words.

 

“You are not that type of person.”

How do you ignore that statement?

They are words that seep into your psyche.

 

None of this makes any sense.

But I suppose it shows the truth,

Of how my head is truly working.

 

One last thought before I go,

 

I want to forgive you,

But I’m no longer that person

I’m the person you made me become.

 

I don’t know how to change that.

Heart Always Knows

Sometimes when I’m writing
I don’t know who or what
My words are about
Like my heart is writing for me
Until my head can catch up

Unsettling

The cursor blinking on the glow of the computer screen
Egging me on to put something on paper
But it is one of those nights
Where even the longest of drives
Couldn’t shake this funk
My head and heart
Keep hitting roadblocks
Coming to no solutions
It’s unsettling
When my outlet of putting feelings into words
Comes to a halt
My vision
Of looking into myself
Finding what is wrong
Is something I pride myself on
Being blind
To my own being
Is more than just unsettling.

A Writer’s Vision

Writing poetry in the dark
Allows for your words
To be painted across the
Blank canvas of your mind

As they trickle down the page
Only you can see
The path they are going to take
As they are so intricately picked

Behind each line
A story of it’s own
Folding together
To make up one great journey

When it ends, you step back
A smile upon your face
As you look at the piece of you
You just created.

A Writer’s Block Rhyme

Image
My brain is too tired to write
I keep trying to ignite
Some crazy insight
But I keep getting a red light
So for my delight
I am writing this out of spite.
