Poetry

Being loved is being worn

Haiku's

A poisening

In a sense I'm free

In a time we'd never meet

It would have been sweet

They break

Heartbreak aches so sweet

Within the walls of the weak

Time will always eat

The flowing

The wind chimes will tweet

The wind flows right through the leaves

Then the birds will weep

They creep

Little nightmares creep

Within the sheets through the night

Do not let them sleep

Tanaka's

Loving Hands

To be held by you

Arms holding me so tightly

Tells me I'm all right

Fills me with the warmth of sun

And lulls me to sleep at night

Silent Flame

The stove flickers bright

As if It's trying to speak

Tell me its secrets

As I sit on the wood floor

Watching my kettle boil

Leaves falling from above

I don't often stop

To dream about my longings

To give myself peace

When I pause and take a breath

The world seems to hibernate

Lyric Poetry

A Quiet Belief of mine

A storm blows in

On a summer late at night

A quiet sigh

Releases all my sin

I hold another's hand

Which quiets the tides within

I grasp the hand so tight

And hold it to my chin

The wind whistles in

And chills deep into my skin

What a quiet way to live

When you cradle my bones within

I'd peel a thousand fruits

And run through the rain with torn and worn brown boots

To have you hold me tight

While the rain pours down at night

And tears will pour from my eyes

As new conclusions arise

Because I'd never believed

You'd wipe my tears

As my throat was torn with cries

The wind wistles in

And chills deep into my skin

What a quiet was to live

When you cradle my bones within

On day I might wake

And my heart will decide not to break

Cause you love another

And I've put my foot on the brake

Sweet Starling

Subtle is the breeze that strokes your wings

As you fly across the city to my window

Your wingss flap and swirl in my dreams

Drawing the air out of my lungs as I wake

You sing to me slowly

Sticking feathers in my throat

Love you dearly

Sweet Starling

Sing to me sweet starling

Wipe the tears from my eyes

Sing to me sweet starling

Let the world seem wide

When I wake the moon beams bright

Sending moonlight into my eyes

Your feathers have been left behind

On the floor

It ties my throat into twine

A whisper floats in from the window

Pushing my heart against my ribs

It wants to fly

Fly away to where your body lies

Sing to me sweet starling

Wipe the tears from my eyes

Sing to me sweet starling

Let the world seem wide

My world seems cold and dim

Without your quick little whims

Something crawls within my limbs

Unbecoming of my sins

I ache

Wondering where you've traveled

Wondering if the road was graveled

You've left me behind

And now I've become blind

Free Verse Poetry

An Aching

An agony carves its way deep into my chest

further than anythings reached in years

It drives its knife deeper into my ribs and twists

Making sure I feel every bit of main Ive been meaning to forget

I try to tear it out but a hand grips my face

And forces my eyes to take in my shaking hands and the blood that stains them

The grip paints my skin in strokes of reds and blues

Forcing tears out of my eyes that spill down my cheeks

And force quiet cries out from my throat

Strained and broken

The hand releases its grip

And cradles my face

Wiping tears away with its thumb

With the warmth of a mothers hand

Before pulling away silently

And shoving the knife in deeper

Leaving my ribs more broken than before

And a bleeding heart in its wake

when the handle breaks

my hands scrape at my sternum

digging

trying to reach that agonizing panic

tears brimming at my eyes

cause no matter how hard I press

or how fast my hands shake

theres no way to break the bands

around my chest

they tighten and tighten

squeezing air out of mu lungs

tighter and tighter

till my breaths are only wheezes

Nausea now my only friend

To get away

I want to run away

Run up to the mountains

Where the roads run wild along the edges of. acliff

And where I can feel the wind

Instead of the sufficating air conditioning

Speed along the hot cement

Arm out the window

Leaving all connections behind

Chest slowly releasing the burdens I hid

Sit on the car hood

Staring far into the valley

Chugging water till I feel understood

And clean inside

Stare up into the stars

A chill setting in

Before I close my eyes

And feel peace along my side

Ryming Poetry

Unloved

the milk on my tongue feels bitter and all too sweet

and all i can think about is my lungs between my teeth

my teeth are scraping

and my lungs are aching

and theres blood on the floor

and my body's shaking

its taking and taking

and my bones are breaking

how can i know my worth

if all i know is aching

Unwell

there's something unwell

that's crawling under my skin

leaving scars of memories

making no way for me to win

It leaves behind an endless pit of exhaustion

keeping my body pinned to my bed

stealing air from my lungs

leaving words unsaid

Unfair

How dare you damn me

How dare you make me suffer

when I only wanted love

but was made to suffer

I scream into the void

trying to reason why

why I was made to rot

and others made to fly

why take my loved ones

one after another

after I finally found peace

with my fading other
