"Blood Runs"
shattered dreams… sad realities…real as it seems our country is drowning overnight rain has been deafening this quiet pain lingers…still resounding bullet holes rip silent wounds cast lasting strain loved ones…gone too soon society is not…bulletproof our tears cannot fix madness and guns a lethal mix toxicity…damages are deeper than the color blood runs

"Poetry"
I feel you…kiss you…see you…breathe you You are crisp morning air Fresh and near Your hands caress my face As you brush against my skin How I yearn…. How I long…. For our daily dance to begin To start…once again You are never gone… Even though you’re gone from me We carry on… Tip toe across stars until dawn Until the sun rises each morn We will go down in poetry In my history of intimacy We are legacy Are poetry Poetry Copyright 2015 Chris Bartlett/FollowCB
"Empty Spaces"
Empty spaces remain Time will never replace Cannot erase Memories of you Even if I wanted to Everywhere I turn I still see your face The things you like to do Permeate the air I wonder if you remember or care What’s it like over there In that space Where you’ve traveled on This place you now belong I only know heaven through prayer or song Is it really all that far Are you that distant star Either way you should know It’s been impossible to let you go Because I’ll always love you so

"Blue-White Fire"
We were…. Were going to paint a perfect sky You and l We were… Fireworks on a spectacular fourth of July Bursting….burning, turning red Rising crimson Scorching between tussled covers Two lovers make a star-spangled bed
We were… Living dangerously upon a high wire You and I We were… Love’s hottest flames, a blue-white fire Glowing…growing, throwing heat Smoldering gold Exploding way up there…in midair We thought we would never know defeat

"Why I Try"
If I could smile… Perhaps I’d cause rainbows to appear Any hue of brightness Would be welcome Juxtaposed against my… Cloudy-gray disposition My ensuing storm of self-punishment I would be all… Blue skies and sunshine If it weren’t for how harshly I judge myself How brutally I punish myself For not being good enough…. Not rising to every ocassion…. As beautifully as the sun does Every morning… Day after day after day…after day Consistently persistent Never allowing one morning… To outshine the one before That’s the internal pressure tsunami I negotiate…I troubleshoot At the battered core… Of my existence It is my darkness…my bane My existential sufferance…my pain Which is why…I try; A smile… Makes all the difference in a day

"Light of Love"
Perhaps I’m a cloud Blocking myself from the sun… From the one… Who’s steady….who’s ready To shine her light…sublime Yet…here I stand all day Dressed in gray Though I never intended… For it to be this way I should have simply come out To play… To let the world know I’m…. Not one to keep things in But when it come to him… Both of us chose secrecy Which…no longer makes sense to me When the beauty of the sun Is meant for everyone It’s time I…stand outside…proud Holding hands with my one… One and only love And drink in the light of love… That surrounds

"Paint Your Dreams"
Imagine words that inspire Everwhere We turn….there they are Fueling our dreams Lifting us to higher places Telling us we can…. Then continuing to believe To support us Words that feed… Words that grow wings Words that teach us how Words written to spark… Love affairs… And a little magic in our hearts That’s what we need… What starving eyes long for More positivity… More creativity More empathy and fearlessness That our ideas… Change the future Color our world For the better For the promise of brighter tomorrows Imagine this… Picture words like these… Then get out there… And paint your dreams Across the universe

"Virtuoso" (Makes Me Wonder)
Listen with intensity To the urgency of silence Between piano keys To the lift of a rift…lift of a rift Surges and cliffs of this rampant melody Shifts in dimensionality Tear us up emotionally Bursts of jubilation surface Emerge from depths of death And darkness… As he prolifically glides Across the ivories We are… Transcendent…lifted to a heavenly space Resplendent…overcome by magnificence Incandescent…glowing like this virtuoso We are…taken so… Caught up in… Chords…progressions… Musical profusion Is he for real…is this illusion We are…consumed By his brilliance…his artistry Overtaken in the now Transported by notes that resound Echo…reverberate Thunder…and rumble Echo…reverberate Thunder…and rumble Echo…reverberate Thunder…and rumble Notes that resound…reverberate Echo…echo…echo… Rumble and thunder This one…makes me wonder…

"Black Hole"
I fell… Off your radar Love has never gone so far Away Further than infinity It’s a sin to see Intimacy turn to icicles Cold…frozen….bitter to our touch Seems we’ve lost so much I’ve found… This black hole Offers no solace or solid ground Thus I keep falling Tears streak across my cheeks As they’re falling Everything is falling Falling Since you stopped coming around Left town And quit calling Me

"Cover Me"
Blanket me, cover me In shiny, twinkling lights… Make me your bespectacled, Starry nights We are a wonder… We are beautiful, dancing kites We are splendor… We are rapture… We are a spark that love ignites I hunger for no other… Bring me your shelter, Be my cover… Blanket me… In your gleaming harbor lights Be my beacon… Guide me through my darkest nights Lover, cover me Oh…..lover, cover me Come to me…cover me

Advice to My Younger Self
Oh my heart, Remember that you are tempered in steel And like steel, must endure the blaze Of angry hearts and awful lies And the hot breath of men's voices cloying around you like cigarette smoke in a dingy bar. Remember that you are a child of lightning and stars And so do not be swayed by those who seek to hold your light for themselves. Rather, flash them a smile and remain true to yourself For even lightning must have a root. Remember when hurt blooms across your chest Like so many flowers as bruises in your skin That your body is not all you are But you should also proudly own yours For when cruel knives seek to cut open your veins It is not your heart to blame for bleeding. Remember this, my love: You are despair and desperate joy entwined, Dancing eyes and a weary heart, All you have been and all you will be-- You are yet a star just beginning its formation.
A Letter to My Ex
You cast yourself as my shining knight, Ready and willing to slay dragons on my behalf But your lance was much more likely to pierce MY heart With poisoned words cut from the fears of your own inadequacy. I would have slain my own monsters But the ring you gave turned into its own shackles And the gaze from your eyes burned holes in my back Through the delicate threads of my own armor- I hadn't realized that like Penelope You too worked at night to undo what had been done Alas, that the cloth you undid was my own. And as the glittering strands fell away, I realized too late that cushioned words Still suffocate their victims just the same. The dragon was just a lizard anyway.
Wrote this for my girlfriend a few months ago. I think she follows this blog so I'd love to make her smile when she finds out it's on tumblr rn.
"Love is a Fire"
We are fire Burning flame We are love’s Higher plain Watch us smolder… Aging…but never getting older Fueled with desire… Keeps us growing wiser We are passion Defined and undisputed We are yearning Our love has been rebooted Reignited…we caught sparks again We are fire Burning flame We are love’s Higher plain Watch us smolder… Aging…but never getting older Filled with passion and desire Love is a fire… Burning… Keeps on getting higher Passion and desire Love is a fire Love is a fire…getting higher Love is a fire Love is….a fire A fire…burning

glassy love
her breath against my neck shatters boundaries of fragile skin. she’ll gather my shards to spin a glassy web, strands radiating color and light to separate us from them through her technicolor lense, harsh brushstrokes become rosebud kisses unwinding to full bloom the heat of her hands expands the lines to flower figures, bound to one another by their hands, as the feeling of a fire melds abstraction into shaped glass at any moment,i am liable to shatter once more, the pieces returning to the floor, a shapeless sharp beginning. for her taking, scientific method, breath i’ll remain if she is creator, i am canvas to tear apart as the inspiration strikes
"Constancy of Waves"
I feel you… You’re fresh, restored, morning breeze I hear your feet… Sweeping across piano keys You are my haunted melody Fingers dance upon ivories You move me….you move me With your gorgeous skies Your enchanting eyes One treasured thought And I am caught… Caught up in swelling emotions Rising tide…incoming ocean You flood me…you flood me Open my gates… Constancy of waves…rushes in Comes back again…all rushes in You move me…you move me With your gorgeous skies Your enchanting eyes I never knew… Blue could be that blue One treasured thought And I am caught… Caught up in you You move me…you move me Fingers sweep across ivories You play me… Dance upon piano keys A masterpiece…a symphony Enchanting song…haunted melody You move me…you move me
