Close Your Eyes
Close your eyes
As the sun descends
Bringing to us the night
Feel me
I’m next to you
Even if under different skies
I take your hand.
Close your eyes
And feel my touch
As subtle as the breeze
Gentle
A hint of warmth
Threatening to overtake
I desire you.
Close your eyes
And feel my lips
Brushing against yours
Tenderly
Sweet embrace
Changing in intensity
I take you in.
Close your eyes
And hear...

Skin
I now see the numerous scars covering your beautiful body with the finest of lines that can be read much like brail unequivocally telling your story why have I never seen them before? but now I cannot ignore.
To exchange one’s skin to rip it away from the flesh such a burning desire but one that can never be realized and everything that it has been through shall be a permanent reminder of...

Above The Surface
Darkness invites my spirit Into its solitary realm With its empty promises Taking my life by the helm Light harder to see Dragging me farther away My reflection no longer me Gone is the light of day
The ignorance of memory The dissipation of the soul In search of forgiveness I’m trying to let go Felt with every breath Each step brings it closer Feeling its true depth Much needed closure

In My Head
All I hear In my head Is your beautiful voice It has everything I’m searching for And the story it tells Will get me through Another desolate night.
Watchkarlscott:
Humanity CAN do good things for each other!! so beautiful I love it when humanities cleverness does something to benefit itself. Amazing. I cant even imagine what this must have felt like! Lovely, emotional, and touching.

Different Faces of Silence
Sometimes the silence
is deafening, mind
piercing and unbearable.
At other times the silence
is soothing, mind
depressurized and welcomed.
What I need to find is a
happy medium, mind
neither about to explode nor go numb…

Why?
Your purpose is to dispel
my inflictions
To wipe clean my slate,
to steal the key that belongs
to the door of my past.
Instead you drag me deeper
within,
leaving me unsure if I will be
able to drag myself out
next time,
door left wide open.
All I ask is why,
with never a response…

Waiting Room
I’m sitting here,
waiting,
anticipating what
this appointment
will bring.
Even though I know
every second Wednesday
I will be here,
I still can never prepare
for what’s to come.

Marionette
I was your marionette movements cannot be anticipated totally dependent on you to choose which strings to operate to make me dance.
And even in death I awaited your manipulations still unable to move without your precise directions of how to be.
But now I cut the ties no longer being there upon your stage I shall no longer dance to the tune you so hauntingly sang from the grave.

Lost
What is it that pulls me beneath the surface consuming my thoughts confusing as to what’s real just as I take that first step forward in confidence it drags me back self doubt engulfing me finding difficulty in self control as time moves on.
Apprehension has often served as my cloak my words as my daggers usually reacting out of fear instead of conviction how I wish for the return of my...

My Time
Darkness overcomes me A single lit candle remains The only light to lead the way My salvation But I am blinded Daggers behind my eyes I am unable to move Paralyzed Now I must remain where I was left All those years ago Though it still feels like yesterday.
My will has almost left me completely I know I’m still alive But part of me has already died Many years ago Beneath this same night sky...

I am left
in complete silence
to the point
that even my mind
is left speechless.
Total abandonment
is how I am left
with not so much as a word
or goodbye
why have you done this to me?
My companion
you have been my only consistency
my guide
to see me through the confusion
but now I am alone.

LouisTheCat: circumstantial evidence
RickDickens77: Wait, this is ridiculous.
RickDickens77: Those cats are troublemakers.
LouisTheCat: those cats
LouisTheCat: listen to yourself
RickDickens77: I don't hold an opinion about black cats, the ones who did that just happen to be black.

LouisTheCat: but theres this rumor that a few years ago you took a cat from old mrs wembley
RickDickens77: Oh really.

LouisTheCat: rick no
LouisTheCat: how could you even
RickDickens77: IT WAS YOU LOU.
LouisTheCat: you stole me oh my god
RickDickens77: NO, SHE GAVE YOU TO ME.

Part II The Attempt
I dared escape from
my sanctuary
the corner from which
I dwell in solitude
and came upon open
space, half expecting
it to cave in around me.
I directed my gaze towards
the clear skies
waiting for the winds to
bring along change
to whisk away my destructive ways.
However it is taking so long
that I’m starting
to believe
that perhaps I was wrong
to even try.

Mais maintenant, les mots sont perdu
et je n`ai aucune idée pourquoi.
C’est comme ils ont décidé
que je ne suis plus digne
et m’a abandonnée
comme tout le reste j’ai
appris à aimer.

A Voice
A voice far in the distance profound, inviting growing in familiarity but to whom it belongs remains in obscurity.
Faceless.
How I wish I could reach through the gap pulling the unknown to me finally calming my curiosity.
A song off in the distance uplifting, soothing words shockingly recognizable though this melody never before heard.
Haunting.
How I wish it could play on forever in one...

Part I Contemplation
In the desolate shadows of my battered psyche I have spent many hours in the tranquil night stuck in the corners of this ruin and unable to set my heart alight. I am unsure if it’s finally ready to live unable to take its advice as it seems a bit shady determined to keep me here. Special care must be taken as there’s still some obvious repairs needing to be made.

Untitled
Separated by vast oceans Brought together with intertwining souls Not together, but never alone Eternally and utterly one
With the simplest gesture Of closing my eyes, you’re here with me Enveloping me in your arms Securing me in your warmth
It is how I survive And to lose this, I surely would perish To sink back into the abyss That I once knew as home
“Fear not” you whisper...

When i ask questions like ‘what are stars?’ I am not looking to be told; ‘well, actually a star is a sun.’ I just want to float and lounge upon the question mark left behind at the end of a frowning ponder. I want to think, loose myself in the not knowing, release my brain to run free, casting…

For What I Have Become
All my secrets buried deep within my skin
Don’t come too close to me, perspired are my sins
Cannot escape from this, my unearthly cage
I do love you but I can’t put you through this pain, again
To let you in I would not dare
It wasn’t anything that I could share
I’m sorry it ended so rough
Anything I did was never enough
I could no longer hide my shame
And from there it was never the same
How did...

Anymore
Don’t wanna see you ‘round here no more
Why won’t you let me get through that door?
It is
All a lie
It’s not like before
Why can’t you see love don’t live here no more, no
And it starts all over again
It’s all we’ve ever known
When will it come to an end?
It’s getting old now
And I need
To be
On my own
I cannot be here
here anymore, no no
I regret nothing, it’s the decision I’ve made
Keep going...

Dans bon pâturage
mots courir sauvage

Dans les moments ternes

rempli d’angoisse de choses
rempli de la puissance
Ils s’échappent dans
Le vide
Prêts à vivre
Prêt à mourir
Regarder splendides
dans toute leur gloire
seulement trois mots
voyage entre vous et moi
