A Masterful Robbery

Even though I knew it was finished before it began,
even though I knew that I never truly had you,
even though you told me I had a chance,
it was only almost, but not quite.

Even though you told me you loved me,
you turned right back around and held someone else dear.
Even though I thought I was content,
I wanted all of you.
Even though you brought me to tears,
I thought it was worth it.

Starlet

The starlet sits
At the edge of her bed
Thinking back to simpler
And much less wealthy,
Corrupt times.Read more »

Sweet and Short Poem

slice off my hands for not holding yours sooner,
burn my tongue until my taste buds flake off, for never admitting how i felt.
cut off my ears because i did not listen to my heart when i first desired you,
and scorch my eyes so i never look at anyone the same.

Fictional Realities

Submerged in books and words
I have become obscure.
When the tides of my ocean subside
I will absorb all life if ever I can reach the shore.

The coarse realities of life leave me lovelorn.
My ardent fervour is slowly becoming muted
as I struggle to keep my head above water.
It is the gaping sky, the splendour of merging colours
that keeps me upright.

I am impotent to the yawning ocean,
frustrated by my languishing infatuations
that increase, heave and swell
until I can hold it no longer and all comes gushing out
leaving me empty and forsaken, cold in a desolate place
with only my eccentricity for company.

Special Needs School Bus Driver Poem

I see your pain through your sadden eyes
Your disability I reconize

You cannot speak but i know what you say
Because I am with you everyday

I lose myself in the thoughts
of these sinful wants.
it is truly so sinful,
for I envy every beautiful thing
that catches your attention faster than
I ever could.

My Mind is my enemy by Chouaib

My Mind is my enemy

                        My heart is full of misery

Born again through every truth I realize

                    I will never understand why you lied

September 24th 1945

The most beautiful sea:
                   hasn't been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child:
                   hasn't grown up yet.
Our most beautiful days:
                   we haven't seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
                   I haven't said yet...

Go To Hell

I've never known love,
Never been taken care of,
Never been held tight,
Never been told it will be alright.

Another Great User Submission

So many things are swimming through my mind right now.

So many thoughts, memories, emotions, and demons.

They float by like sheets of ice,

chilling me down to the deepest part of my broken soul,

making me numb.

The Storyteller by Stanley Ray

Once, there was a storyteller.
He lived up on a hill,
and wrote stories of windy-wheat
prairies he dreamed in.

Never been touched by the harshness of man
Slowly and quietly meandering
Through and through the peaceful valley

Lonely Suicide

it's scary when no one understands
you think they do but they lie
always leading you on and fucking your mind
leaving your body aside

A Poem by Mikel Jabbary Mayers

Your Seed
Like a seed blowing across the wind
In many directions it may go;
Give it time, give it time
Let it sprout, let it sprout;

Step back, keep watch
Let it amaze you;
But don't go too far
Because it needs you;

Give it solid ground to stand upon
Water it with tears of happiness
Shine upon it with rays of love.

-Mikel Jabbary Mayers

Icarus

I've wandered beyond remembrance
My mind is blank, I'm in a trance,
Images of what life was like echoes beyond,
my heart is empty of your song.
