My Poet's Mind : Thoughts of the Day
 

with the light going blue i enter the room
go now and just make your move
by lies and lust we lived for now
by the night i'll forego it all just to let you know

standing at the points break
trying to recall my mistakes
and all the mishaps along the way
what has shaped

i started this fire. just to burn your intent,
so you can't hide behind it and pretend
your fighting tears while you relinquish all you haven't uttered yet
this pact that we made , helped us drift away ,
you fell asleep and started to stray
the words giving you a chance to escape .

wood grain upon my palms. sand on my feet .
standing here still there is no beach .
i wake up to nothing but you
the wind graces you , yet holds the covers over your head
your earthly demise will not be due to them
loathing the last breath as the black approaches
your eyes close. waiting for it that follows
i take your shoulder and pull you close to my lips
give you your chance and begin to confess

i'm cursed my the false perceptions and misplaced memories from years
that you claimed to never be the antagonist
with you elevated sense of pride, play pretend on a false pretense
o so corrupted by those who don't qualify for their place
its written on their faces and carried to your ears
by lies hidden among whispers . laden with fears
because if its so true and pre-written then why do we fall victim
to what we know is not true . because the truth mutes our ears
to what we want to believe and acknowledge
with so much passion that it leaks like flowing water
to remain discrete yet distinct just to picture the element of trust
encrusted in the rage that has been held within for years.
living to protect us... from what?


the dreams

rolling over awaking from my dreams
thinking of a rhyme as i slip on my jeans
hop out of bed and kiss you goodbye
you wake up , just in time to ask "why"
your eyes follow me as i walk out the room
i walk to the kitchen to water your scarlet plume
go to the fridge, rummage, humming to myself
"baby i love you now just move your mouth.
i pause for the moment as you grab upon my side
pull two glasses and pour some eau de vie
its as if i have entered a state of bliss
things pass me by as we start up again
my hand moves from your chin to your thigh
other hand pushes back your hair so i can see your eyes
my infatuation and lust allows us to commence
forget the logic as we erase all moral sense
this time and place for once we beat time
night to dusk as we slowly begin to trust
but the realization of or dare i say the lack of
just gives us the false assumption of love

its me to you and you to me
your dreams give you a chance to portray
someone you knew very little of .

my day has simply been crazy just read this again . mouth every word...

from beginning to end



this was my day ....pretty much

uppin..................don't go to sleep

Hey mate. good piece. Sorry to say, but ignorance truely is bliss.... and it sounds like you've had an epiphany in your dream.

uppity uppin lol i love how ppl sleep on my shit like a brand new bed

because if its so true and pre-written then why do we fall victim
to what we know is not true . because the truth mutes our ears
to what we want to believe and acknowledge
^only some of the lines I was really feeling...

This was an excellent piece, long yes but so interesting and you managed to keep me focussed throughout the whole thing. Your choice of vocabulary was very good, found a suited balance between basic and complex. The emotion was very raw and pure, made me read it twice to really capture what you were trying to express here. Imagery was superb as well, I could picture the scene inside my mind due to the way you worded everything.

Props to you for this poem! Enjoyed reading it, nice job! :thumbup:
