I wake when the world

falls asleep. Could that mean that

I’ve fallen too deep?

I love the silence, knowing,

your voice, will keep me going.

I’ve become the guy who talks but doesn’t really say much,

Doesn’t trust a soul but I guess that’s what the rain does,

My old walls have become castles,

Smiling chores have become hassles,

As I learn to turn my back on society,

and its battles.

She wants me to lay pipe,

I want her to suck it,

Please me then I’ll please you,

Otherwise, fuck it.

Everytime I blink, you’re there

If not in flesh then in prayer,

And everytime I think to count sheep,

You leap, into the realm of my sleep.

I start to lose control,

As I lift you and you lock me between your legs,

So confess with your eyes, and persuade with your thighs,

Use them to scream and then use them to beg.

But don’t let me hear a slip of your tongue,

I prefer the noise of your fighting lungs,

As you grip me tighter and breathe down my neck,

And my lips and my teeth explore and trek.

As my eyes linger, and my fingers squeeze.

And your lips part as I start to please,

With lust in the air and our bodies wound,

We just couldn’t hold back those muffled sounds.

But next time I promise we’ll hold the silence, 

for noise has it flaws.

And I will fuck you again.

and again.

Heartless.

Cold.

and Raw.

Have my pupils dilated yet?

for I know my hearts in my throat.

And I’m sure you know this already,

but your beauty makes me unsteady,

As I struggle to voice to you anything that I wrote.

Now this is quite hard to answer but I am always, always, always glad to see any post from the following poets across my dashboard. Their writing is magical. Always. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled across (but not limited to) the following ten blogs. Blogs aren’t in any particular order :D

Amongst the hate,

I still hear a hint of love in your vocals,

And as of late,

you’ve been running laps round my mind.

But you insist,

on concealing feelings behind broke walls,

And its driving me insane, with pain,

seeing my crowned so confined.

For a long time, your velvety voice was all I’d commit to memory

And your secret smile, always managed to better me,

And we haven’t spoken for a while, but s’long as my breath doesn’t cease.

In terms of art, you’d be,

at the heart, the key,

to my life’s collage.

You were always my centerpiece.

My soul longs for her 

and my lungs ‘ve sprung for her

as she dances with the moon,

‘til the rise of the sun,

she leaves me breathless

she must be the one.

poeticpersistence:

I’ve never really been one for violence,

I’ve always believed the wickedest weapon, is silence.

So now I tend to talk less, and let my inner hawks rest,

As these foreign birds come to acknowledge, that this is my island.

poeticpersistence:

Words run loose in my head, and reform

Every time I go to bed, I’m reborn.

And nostalgia explains why I am lost again,

Why insanity and my paths have crossed again,

As these bloodshot eyes show I’m mentally war torn,

and my forlorn,

attempts at poetry.. are showing me,

that writing is the closest I’ll ever get to trusted friends.

poeticpersistence:

It’s funny.
It’s funny how I used to tire of love songs because they drove me crazy.
Funny how I gave up on my first love, the first to save me.
My baby.
Oh how could I?

But I promise to be here now to write my wrongs and listen to songs and free caged birds and play with words and make love to my first love like the first time.

Fingers are interlocked yet my fingers still fiddle as I tune into little brittle chains of thoughts and riddles and wordplay that I scribble on the middle of an aged blank page.
                         Raw.
As I remake love to my first love like the first time.

I love to play with my love, turn her around, add positivity, and evolve styles unbound, freed from regulations, flowing without form, complicated creations deviating from norms.

Therefore I’ll fight now to right down all the night drowned unheard words I find left on my mind because I refuse to choose to lose and be further bereft of my spine as I remake love to my first love like the first time.

So then wordplay, may this be our second start and I’ll promise to love you until death do us part. 

Baby, can I call you babyblue?

Your soothing voice drives me crazy, catch 22.

And my thoughts race around as I silently muse

Silently choose,

To contemplate truth.

Life is a game.

Without you..

I lose.

On crystal clear crimson nights,

I find my mind shaded red with sinful sights

As the same old desire gets to me,

To animate the images of you next to me.

As I trace ev’ry inch of your body,

with my lips perpetually whispering they’re sorry,

from cheek to collarbone and collarbone to thigh,

Obliviously wrapped in darkness as we tenderly collide.

And your lingerie rests on my jacket picking up scents of mine,

Regardless; climax nears: I’m losing sense of time,

Nails clawed to my back to remind me of reality,

Pain. Unlike this one of insanity.

Where I imagine unseen sights withered by absence,

My absence. In fact, Our absence.

And so my heads shaded red with sinful sights,

On crystal clear crimson nights.
