Soul Muse Poetry

why else are we here if not to live with unreasonable passion for things ~Butterflies Rising

Beautiful Like A Muse

I carry a world inside me

Little people run around

With futures I can never promise

Some futures never found

The air is all polluted

With the voices in my head

Trying to push me off the mountain

Or into someone else’s bed

I think I lost that part of myself

That tells me where my heart could land

It tells me I could have a future

Or lose everything I can

I knew my heart was fragile

Felt like glass between your hands

You let it slip and fall

Crashing once it lands

I learned to reassemble to fit perfectly for you

But then I found someone who made me feel of use

Beautiful like a muse

Stumble

I’m stumbling through an alley

Where worlds do not exist

My heart filled with lead

My bones turn to crisps

My feet stuck in concrete

My stomach now a home

For all the pent up rage

That makes me feel alone

The world a phantom whisper

Rushing through a fragile heart

For fear my sins will swallow me

For fear I’m torn apart

Porcelain Doll

I’m hanging from a hook

Everyone turns their head to look

They say look at her ghostly white skin

Paper thin, but if I touch her she might win

I’m a trophy on your mantel

Pieces of myself slowly descend down my body like a candle

Picked apart flesh hanging from sad bones

Those who love me may never know the depths this soul can hold

My skin pale and starchy like a porcelain doll

Cracks sealed over every time I fall

Sealed with thick white paint in bold

maybe next time I’ll seal them with gold

then they will know

that cracks are nothing more than etchings of the soul

I’m a simple woman

I want to sit in my garden writing sad poems

that turn arms blue from the freezing cold

I want to write with ink that twinkles

like stars from an ever frigid galaxy

I want to listen to blue birds weep

upon barren branches of the willow

I want to let out all the darkness

bleeding into my soft pink brain

draining the abscess of infectious thoughts

onto a soft crisp page of white

stained with dark red ink

from gashes that leak within the heart

But in the end, I am just a simple woman who wants to hold a pen and paper within my garden

Sand Timer

You remember the day wind howled in your ears

tasting the metallic energy

of a storm rising somewhere

farther than you could ever reach.

Clouds hung heavy

in the sky of speckled stars

like dark grey charcoal swirling

through the thick air.

Just like the butterflies rising

in your stomach

the moment you step

off of the cliff of comfort

towards a new life you’ve created.

Hair standing on edge

like the days you used to rub a balloon

across your tiny sun kissed arms

during a summer

you thought would be endless.

But the sand slipped through your fingers faster than any timer could have

Hat

I hold a grey hat within my hand

No longer a head for it to land

Your salt and pepper grey hair lays bare within these granite walls

Flowers line where the ground calls

The sun shines in like all the days

Where you would walk and I would play

Where you would talk and I would say

Please never go so far away

@soulmusepoetry

My promise

I will not lie

I know I’m not the girl with bright eyes

But you make me feel like I can try

I can try to be the girl with a pretty face

who lights up the world with one take

Who creates butterflies from scraps so thin

And makes music from someone’s sin

I wish to be this creature of desire

One who lights up others with warm fire

Like a hearth on a cold winters day

I wish to make your fears melt far away

This creates my promise to you

My love, I hope you know its true

That I will try, until the day

My heart starts to whither and i turn grey

@soulmusepoetry

Void

I scream into the void

A paranoid delusion

Filled with words to destroy

I’m a sacrificial victim

A lamb for all your choice

My soul filled with lesions of undisputed noise

I beg for your forgiveness

Father please put out the noise

The world is filled with demons

And I am just a toy

Human

She’s a human, just like you and me

She bleeds red blood, dripping at the seems

But she has this gift that lives far from where the eyes can see

She has a gift for words

Strings them together at every turn

She takes these endless lines and places them into shapes that will live forever, even after she dies

That is what it means to be a muse

Someone who always find words that could be of use

A beauty

An ever changing creature of my desire

I would say I wish to live as though she does, but I don’t wish to be a liar

@soulmusepoetry

Shaped by fragments intertwined I'll live for you, until I’m mine

@soulmusepoetry

[soulmusepoetry]

A combination of Forgotten Pieces

I’m a creature of your design

I collect pieces of different kinds

I’ll pop on new limbs or new eyes to fit between those sacred lines

I’m a combination of forgotten pieces

A paradigm of mankind’s fragile leases

An everchanging mixture of soft rubbery limbs

A mashed up integration of melodic lifting hymns

@soulmusepoetry

Memories

Sometimes I wish I could collect my memories and play them like a scene

Like pictures moving fast on a tv screen

My dreams flash by

Of all the words I meant to write but didn’t get the time

The days of joy I could hold in my hands

A tangible evidence that I was a human

I had a life

I had some fights

I learned to love

Not only in the middle of the nights

I left you there

To see my grave

Filled with flowers

For the birds to rave

I’ll fly above

In a sky filled with grey

I’ll love you from

So far away

Let's Be Honest

Let’s be honest, there’s a game to play

A world outside, that’s void of day

I want to learn, the parts of you

That call to me, like they always do

Let’s be honest, am I what you want

A girl like me, In my sad font

A void of stories, waiting to tell

A brain of words, pushing me to yell

Let’s be honest, I am what I am

I will never be the what you always can

@soulmusepoetry

[soulmusepoetry]

Who am I

Who am I

If not a lonely hearted muse

One who writes on the pages

Of losing you all too soon

[soulmusepoetry]

Moth

I thought you were drawn to me like a moth to a flame

You followed my light with no blame

When it sparked inside of me I felt no shame

Since I knew you would always be the moth to my flame

Till I realized maybe I wasn’t the sun to you

I was just a light you flew to

Flew to when the world felt too blue

When the world felt like it would consume you too

Then the sun came out and you flew so high

Up and up towards the sky

Like I was never even a thought in the back of your mind

Was the sun in the sky not bright enough to see through your lies?

Does it pray on you like I do for your demise?

Does the darkness let you sleep through the night?

@soulmusepoetry

[soulmusepoetry]

A dream

Do I know you or is it all a dream

A dream of pretty faces

A dream I’m not sure was meant to be seen

Is this what I was meant to do?

Dance around these words with you

Till all the tunes turn blue

Like the sky that rises across the view
