SometimesSometimes
I tremble when you’re close
My skin quivers with a quickened pulse
My lips become aware, that yours are very near
And static rushes my mind

Sometimes
I reach out in my sleep
My arms cradle all you are to me
I whisper things that no one hears
And dreams wash me away

Sometimes
I smile to a vacant space
My eyes can see your happy face
My fingers long to touch the imagery
And brush upon the air

Sometimes
I hold your words so tight
My ears are records through each night
I shape love with your voice so clear
And peace makes its home

Sometimes
I breathe you in on the wind
My body smells you drifting in
I close m

Eat Your Heart OutHe feels just in the mood
To scavenge and consume
Eat your heart out charming son
Hiding in his room

Lost in the masses
Of fat and molasses
No pains about health or lifestyle
Gobbing down the acids

GoldShe wears that golden dress
Tight across her perfect body
Lets it slither and caress
Her ambitions so unholy

Hair dark and eyes blue
Gets her claws right into you

All she wants is money and youth
She doesn’t want a piece of you
All she wants is money and youth
Baby you don’t have a clue

She wears that golden smile
Tight across her perfect cheeks
Lets it linger for a while
Playing between satin sheets

Hair wild and eyes bright
She’ll have you gasping in the night

All she wants is money and youth
She doesn’t want a piece of you
All she wants is money and youth
Baby you don’t have a clue

Soar in SpiritNeed to shed my skin
Strip myself of dirty shadows
Need to stand and begin
This transformation of tomorrow
Spread my wings and spew forth
This bile that I have held so long
Unpick my stitches and course
This tainted blood that shouldn’t belong
Rise within this mountain of shame
Head held high for future fights
Dismiss the pain, hurt and blame
Soar, in spirit, truth and light

Paint by NumbersAn unmarked canvas, she awaited your readied paints.
Her image grew with the strength of your approval,
Her portrait was no more than a reflection of your desire.
You formed her words,
Her thoughts,
Guided her actions with the merest glance.
Artist and subject both, yet all she saw
Was through the lens of your focus,
All that she became was by yourself ordained.
You filled every part of her life until nothing more remained.

With light and sound cut off,
Choked by the stagnation of your view,
She could paint no more by numbers.
She overthrew you.

I am she no longer.
Here with this brush
I pa

Floral EmbraceRising up from the midst of the petals
Ruby glow upon my face
A sweet floral embrace
And then I’m flying high

Feeling so renewed
Empowered and enchanted

Feeling so reviewed
Blissful and delighted

Rising up from the darkness that was
Rising up from the pain of before
Wrapped in a cocoon of bliss
So my heart will not be sore

Dancing in a sea of flowers
Swaying to the music soft
Lulled by the gentle rhythm
Of my heart aloft

CancerS. Atticus

Could I be wrong?
Your simple acts
Crucify me to my own words
My own unknowing lies
Driving in the nails

I preached what I thought truth
I screamed of love
I sang of faith
Undying devotion
I am now the hypocrite
The purity of words
Tainted by my lips
All you hear is silence

My own thoughts
Filled with suspicion
Denial and fear
Spurring on my paranoia
Digging my hole
That much deeper
So that I may never return

I kill myself slowly
Self-destruction at its finest
My fear now scattered to the winds
All because of you
You are my cancer

InnocenceI can see it behind those blank, staring eyes
A faint flicker of life stirring
The simple question; why?
Why did this happen?
Why did they do this?
Why aren't Mum and Dad here?
Why won't they come back?

Why am I alone?

Sorry dear child I cannot stay
As the sins of ceaseless wars
Chase me away

Trudging through the ashes
Of the house you used to live in
On the shelled out street where you used to play
In the quiet village, torn apart this day

As it rained down deadly shrapnel, and bullets filled the air
Uniformed men, eyes of cold steel and angry shouts
Armoured engines of destruction rampage
Iron tre

I Feel YouI feel you feel me
You’re a part of my eternity
And I know that when we close our eyes
Our hearts will set us free

I know you know me
You’re a part of my being
And I know that when we close our eyes
Your sight will let me see

Haiku 18: PetalsPetals on the skin
Kisses grace this open heart
Forgetting the ache

Take My HandTake my hand
We can make this last I know
We can stand up, we can grow
One heart is how we’re meant to be
I can see now
Just how much you mean to me

Take my word
We can conquer all love’s trials
We can go through all the miles
One life is what we’re meant to live
I forgive you
You hold my heart captive

They’ll see we’re not giving up
They can watch us soldier on
They’ll see we haven’t had enough
Our love has never gone
They’ll see what you mean to me
They’ll see what I mean to you
One cannot live without love
And we do not plan to

Take my heart
We can battle all their doubts

WomanI am woman

I hold my heart out and caress pain
Bleed tears of red when I’m ashamed
I’ll hold you until the very end
My precious lover and my friend
My womb—core of flowering life
Wrists a target for torment and strife
Kisses from throbbing lips of rose
Unlocked secrets from past-felt woes

I am woman
Empowered and free
Strong
Fragility

Dancing the dance beneath the night
Conjuring this heady feeling of light
I’ll give you my all even if you break me
I’ll hold you up and have your babies

Love is power
Love is pain
A world to lose
Yet a world to gain

Tangled hair and fluttered eyes
Bitten lips and d

Cold RenewalThe world is tumbling down
Makes your forehead crinkle, frown
Watch the child lose all except prayer
They know in innocence that something's there
Outside the destruction of their town

All is burning without a sound
The Earth is turning - pitiful mound
Tear-streaked faces stop and stare
This renewal is so cold

Authority figures tightly wound
Heavenly figures won't touch the ground
This fiery rebirth they grimly dare
This loss, seemingly without a care
Self-righteous destruction so reknown
This renewal is so cold

Death OnlyThe fleeting life of a flower, full,
Until grey skies bring it to a stand still.

Thoughts of a BoyThe first on and the last off
Every train of thought
Is the boy on my brain.

He operates my heartstrings
With a puppet master's skill
The unexpected turn of each next word
will tell my mood which way to swing.

How do you get out of danger...
...When it's inside your mind?

Distractions default
Because by both
Fact and fiction
Nothing compares
To his definition.
Like Bella's Edward
Or Bonnie's Clyde
My eyes see him
in every design.

Although always unwilling to fall
it's a nice feeling to hover on
between the air
before the blow
Uncertain when it may be
That I'll hit the floor.

And in my c

Lost But Found

by ~mylovestory, Jun 5, 2009, 7:05:04 AM
Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Free Verse

Five times one thousand is the number of steps that I’ve taken on this long road,
It is the number of thoughts that have passed though my head,
The number of breaths that I have taken.

Five times one thousand is the number of beats in this path,
It is the number of trails laid before me,
The number of forks in the road.

And although I am lost, on this track unknown,
In this forest so old,
Filled with all of my doubt, suspicion, fear and solitude,
I know I will find my way through.

For five times one thousand steps have been taken here already,
Five times one thousand people have been here before,
On the same path that I am now following on the floor,
But those five times one thousand hearts will never beat quite like mine.

And my five times one thousand steps will get me closer to the finish line,
My thoughts are going to become clearer,
My breath is going to race faster.

But all of this will come in time,
For now I am here alone,
This beaten path will eventually take me home.

Here is my second entry into #RawEm0tion's 12th contest. The theme was five times one thousand and it had to relate back to the picture.

I also really like this one too. So I hope they both do well in the contest, and I hope all of you like them aswell!

Just want to give a small shout out and thanks to my friend (who's not on DA) with his help on the third sanza.

I also just wanted to write a little blurb about what I was thinking when writing it:

Being lost, but still having a kind of sense of where to go. Like the railroad tracks, you don't know where they're going to lead you, but you keep following them knowing that eventually you'll find your way home. So, it's like being lost, but not really at the same time because you have that sense that you're going to be alright.

I like how you incorporated the idea of multiplication - made it seem bigger than just saying "5000". Plus, I like the idea of being lost, but having a road to follow, and th certainty that you will find your way home - optimistic.

Good luck!

~mylovestory Aug 11, 2009

Thank you so much!
I tried really hard to make it seem like that, and I'm glad it came across like that.

Thanks hun!
