#poemsfromtheheart

[jaggedjawjosh]

Before the sun rose, her heart danced with courage, painting the dawn with dreams, as whispers of happiness gently inspired the world to awaken.

A small poem. The words wrap around certain elements of the painting. Although I hadn't used painting as a prompt in the first place. Also, I thought of twisting the painting a bit.

Who are you?

The end of a line

Or

The end of time.

Moonlight in my starry night

Or

My peace of mind's demise?

How far away from the truth do you sway

You stand so close yet feel so far away.

You speak so loud but I hear you soft

Like the water gushing down in massive drops.

You're the air I breathe,

Sometimes like a blade that slits.

You put a bullet through my head

And carry me to my bed.

I wish I could place my head on you

While you sing me songs of solitude.

You fill me up and unburden me

See me past this roaring sea.

I wish I were you And you were me

Maybe then we could do things differently.

My grandma told me once

You should be selfish

Leave the sinking ship

And not look behind

Never, my child, never

Let yourself drown in the sorrows

that do not belong to you

Learn to swim, learn to fly

Be ready to leave when it's time.

/offthecuffwriter/

Be selfish enough to leave the sinking ship.

Constantly ..

It’s like I have no words.. can’t even explain what I’m thinking

Constantly pulling my own self up to keep from sinking

Did I mess up my own destiny, by repeating the same mistakes

I’ll do anything to stop feeling lonely, whatever it takes

I confided in you, told you about all my troubles

I get a different you every time.. it’s like seeing double

Did I ruin what was meant for me.. should I let this new thing fade

Because I can’t keep this a secret, or else I’ll take it straight to my grave

I never wanted to hurt again, let alone be the person to hurt someone

It’s this sour feeling I get every time after the damage is done

I can’t believe I fell for the okie doke, swear I was smarter than that

But that’s what I get, thinking I would’ve gotten the old you back

It’s time to process these thoughts, I can’t sleep well at night

If you can’t make up your mind, nigga I won’t put up a fight

Im too real with myself, I can’t even begin to pretend

I’m just wondering when in my love life will this agony end..

Constantly running through lovers, but never finishing the race

Fine I’ll be alone.. and I’ll do that shit with grace

The first thing I did this morning as soon as I woke up saw @nesrina.writes post through which I got to know about an exciting poetry prompt, color green, shared by @growyourpoetry // I decided to take this challenge to add another "he" poem to my collection // after writing a series of positive "he" poems, I thought of writing a little pessimistic "he" piece this time 🥀

It wasn’t love at 3 am.

I know a girl that is scared of her shadow.

I know a girl that is scared of her shadow.

To her, it is as dark as a black hole.

Not  the one cast by the sun,

Rather this one can not be undone.

The present will pass,

But the past will last.

Forever stuck in eternal worry.

Yes Try

I am no body, with no mind and yes soul. I am no where and no when but yes why. I can see no one finding yes me because I’m no thing only yes try.
