Layer by layer, peel back time and watch it fall in waves of scar tissue; gathering in a mass around tired feet; where every step forward is met with the resistance of sinking sand; a lethal mix of memories and tears, draining thoughts of a better future and body of the will to continue

I know there is light behind every shadow but experience has left me blind and...

“You ain’t nothing but
a pussy; all dressed up and
acting like a dick.”
therealvagabondking said: This sonnet brought to you by Jen for GraciousWords and the InstantFeature. Wait, lol :)
It’s a fucking good sonnet. Looks like poetry, reads like poetry, is poetry and is extremely well written.
I rarely feature popular poets but that poem had to be viewed by a wider audience.
I enjoy reading good, original poetry and this ticked all the boxes.
As for the...

If I’m being honest, it’s not the structure nor the rhyme, or the rhythm of the syllables, uniformed in time, the pretty patterns, careful spaces shaped by our spilled ink but the content and the words we use that really makes us think.
Crafted with such eloquence, profound yet so concise but through our very conscience each and every one does slice, laden with emotion, thought provoking, so...

Anonymous asked: You seem to be reasonably popular around here but that isn't reflected in the number of notes you receive. Do you think the reason for this is because you can't write worth a fuck and you're poetry is shit or is it because people are just sick to death of reading your uneducated waffle?

In the silence of engaging breath there are lines unwritten, words unsaid; instead, they manifest in star filled skies, in morning sunshine, smiling eyes, and arms; designed to keep you safe, a place to share a warm embrace, a space, where time creates the perfect rhyme, two hearts united, strings entwined. And as is now, so shall it be, that now become eternity we are because...

I hear your whispers in the mourning rain I see your tears cling to my window pane in the shadows of the rising sun your memory remains.
I feel your in touch in every smile I see just like the ones your eyes would give to me in those moments when love joined our hands to set our spirits free.
When we were we.
You know that baby I will always love you as long as stars adorn the...

Hello : )
Sorry I haven’t been writing much recently but work is consuming the greatest part of my waking day.
My boss is currently on sick leave so I’ve taken her place in dealing with, and avoiding where I can, the bullshit politics and egotistical personalities, resident within the company.
I’m usually an extremely organised individual but juggling balls, swallowing...

Do you ever get that notion where you feel, well, out of place? and everyone’s in such a hurry living the rat race. Yet you alone, cannot be seen you’re cloaked by invisibility as others heads are in their ass a display of superiority. Once upon a day gone by twas I they couldn’t see, now I just don’t give a fuck and I’m a happier me.

So, I’m trying my hand at writing a song. I think I’ve got the music worked out. If I’m feeling confident ( or full of alcohol), I may record myself and post it.
Anonymous asked: But what if, what he did was just in the moment. I think if I tried, he wouldn't show interest anyway because I've crushed his hope too many times. It's been back and forth for too long. And I always hoped that at the end of it all there will be. I only let him go so we had time to grow up. But how do I show that we're ready. Implicity. To him who I have left innumerable times....
Anonymous asked: I had a thing with a guy for 2 years. I let it all go. Because A. we were too young, B. we were family friends it was too awkward w/ family. He kept trying to make it better, but thinking that it was for the best I turned him down about 4 times. We went our seperate ways for years. But recently we've come into contact. I took him to prom-we held hands the whole night, leant on each other...

The blushing moon winked and hid herself behind gray velour; her song resonated the cadence of sweet surrender and we danced. As one, we danced amidst shadows, without eyes but with hands and mouth and teeth and passion; and as passion cascaded love’s chalice, I quenched my thirst and her hunger intensified. Bone on bone on bone we met until fragments fell like snowflakes on warm...

I think of you in red’s and black’s, the way they line your frame, from the gentle arch upon your back to your brightest burning flame.
Perfection ‘neath a satin slip reflects the shimmer of your eyes and when you bite those cherry lips my wants I can’t disguise.
You need not lay your touch on me nor lay your body bare but adorn your finest lingerie and I will take you there.

Sing to me with unfinished stanzas, I won’t let my love for you run dry; the rain softly treads on my heart, cooling the passion rising like youth rebelling for better days and brighter sunshine; your embracing kisses invisible to the naked eye count my increased heartbeats and I want to be there in your arms when I cry poetry and sleep between the lines of your...

Entwined in quilted bliss we lay, where dark of night brought forth a light: a light that fell upon her skin, in broken steps of grey and white. A hidden path, her nightly gift, a stairwell to her hopes and dreams: where now her spirit waits for me, to share within her love supreme. And so it is and shall be done as heavens stairway I ascend to meet her in ethereal, beyond the...

roggyscanvas replied to your post: Operation “Eraser” is now under way.
youre deleting stuff? noooooo its because youre publishing elsewhere and they frown upon previously published work (being that they consider blogs as published work)?
Chance would be a fine thing!
Operation “Eraser” is now under way.

Once upon a time, I would frequent the Poetry tag and read every piece of work that had been featured. Reading the words of new writers, fresh faces, original words. .
Now, I don’t; it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
If I want to see who did a spoken word at a popular venue; I view the featured work. If I want to view a picture of the word poetry, I...
