One Two Three

  

One, Two, Three

 

I am a complicated spirit

Yet, I find in all my philosophy

I am more definable than most

I am not ordinary, or boring, or standard

I was built with many colors

I have things that can spark a flame

Resulting in an emotional fire

Yes, my deepest feeling can burn me badly

I feel things more intensely inside

I get quite lost and curious of

Those who don’t seem to feel at all

 

I can be a million smiles

The most joyous soul you see all day

This happiness is energy in me

Visible to those who come my way

 

But if my path, in the course of my day                  

Crosses with something that causes me pain

Inside it hits me like a million blades

Damaging my heart like a hurricane rain

 

Then there is the side, I keep tucked far away

The side that I protect from anyone but me

It’s sensitive and sweet, but dark and broken

It’s the side that I don’t let anyone see…

 

That, I feel, is my one, two, three

And even though the energy may shift

I understand the moments I experience

As I believe they are my virtuous gifts.

Slither

 

 

Slither

 

Like a snake in the garden

You are unwanted

Slithering through the green

Around you, like

You belong

Something holds me back from

Telling you so,

Fear

Oh I’m sure

Afraid of your poisonous bite

Poison seeping through its victims

Veins, crawling and killing

Until all that is left is

Its weak abandon

Shell of a girl I once was

You have taken everything

From me

Left me weak & alone

Many nights, tears fall in sadness

Wonder as to why

I was the victim of your

Own demise

As you came to me

Your poison came to

There was no escaping

Your reality

Like the snake that you are

Poisoning my delicate soul

Only to make me like you

But, listen

My heart will never be like you

My heart will never be black and blue

I am the sun that takes over the cloudy day

Eventually my light will

Be too bright for you

And just like you came

You will slither away

As empty as you arrived

Seeking someone to suffocate

Tearing the Pages

A Poetic Duet written by A Shade of Pen & Think. Speak. Tryst.

 

 

Tearing the Pages

 

Reaching out, I touch your hand
I feel your warmth beneath the sand
It’s been so long, since I’ve been home
Wishing I was not alone

 

A hundred thoughts cross my mind..
I wrap memories around my heart
Every room in this house
Speaks of the moments of me and you…

 

Since the beginning of time
Everywhere I went, you were there too
I wake to the reality of life

That someone has taken from me, from you

Nothing  feels right anymore..
It is hard to march ahead..
When my heart is encased in lanes of yesterday
If I could undo the past, I would

 

Climb to the top of the highest sky

Or swim the deepest depths of the sea

There’s nothing I wouldn’t for you

To bring you back, next to me

 

There is no joy left in my life

I only crave to be with you

Defy the spirit of the Lords

And I will hug you close and not let you go

 

If only things could be this way

If only my dreams would come true

Never be, the space between us

Nothing would keep me from being with you

 

Yet, life is not always the fairy tale

Not all dreams shape into reality

It is the memories that I have of you

That give me the push to hope again 

 

And so, I walk on forward

Into the day that is tomorrow

Leaving scattered behind

Pages torn of tender sorrow

Waterless Tears

 

Waterless Tears

 

Rendered powerless against time

I have become what I never wanted

Waterless tears have run dry

Numb is my constant state of mind

 

Wanting not what I have

I cannot escape the truths of my day

Warmth is but a distant memory

Smile is empty when I look to you

 

Finger tips in the water of the river

Flowing against the currents of time

Running from a place I knew

Forgetting everything I thought was mine

 

Echo echo, in the dark

I am standing here

I feel like I’m falling apart

Into a pool of waterless tears

 

All the times I cried for you

Just to be stripped bare of my identity

Once I stood so tall & strong

Now so little is left of me

 

I never thought my tears could run dry, oh

My heart has made a fool out of me

Waterless tears, an empty soul

Wasteland as far as the eye can see
