Ruminating

Lock me in a room Dark, but not dreary Cuz I'll be alone Nothing to see, hear No one to talk to, listen to

I'm not ready to face Anything and everything  And I'm not ready  To be someone to anyone  Maybe I'm not ready To be okay, okay, okay?

The future is a mountain  And I'm at the bottom  I'm reading the map It says it's pretty scary  I don't know, I don't know

Lock me in a room Lights off, soundproof  Give me a corner Any of the four options  Silence is comfy But only when it's real My sensory stability  It's gone past what I feel

The future is unwritten  But it's stated clear, In bold, black, lines It's very much there And just as much unclear

Stars, what am I doing? Why am I just standing here?

Storm-Power

There is something about the first rain After days of heat and sun That never fails to make me smile Like the world releasing a breath Held for too long When finally the sky breaks open And life rains down from above A release of emotion Tears held back for fear of appearing weak Flowing freely at last The sharp sweetness of the air Life-blood of the gods An offering, a sacrifice From the immortal to the mortal Life given to give life There is something about the first rain After days of heat and sun It is a raw power Electrifying and freeing And I am left aching for more

With you I feel like I could spill my guts out about every bad thing about me                                      

And every action that haunts me.                          

And you would still smile at me like I hung the moon in the sky,        

Just for you and I

Convoluted Chaos Written for the poetry contest "Things Get Messy" sponsored by @deadofnightpoetry Things in my life are often messy and became so once again very recently, through various factors. If only it were easy to clean up some messes. Twisted vortex of the filthiest words Not the kind which inspire sweat But instead fury, dread, bitterness And perhaps the slightest amount of regret For each word is like a solid right hook Two faces, leaving both battered and bloody The sticky viciousness which hovers in the air An intense fight, yet not a piece betwixt lies muddy Emotions kicked about as freely as yesterday's rubbish Laying in tatters, nothing solved, time marches on depressingly The sour lemony lesson: what to expect when friendships get messy #poetrycontest #poetryoftheday #poemoftheday #poetryprompt #deadofnightpoetry #poem #poetry #darkpoetry #poetrysociety #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #originalpoetry #spilledink #queerpoet #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #queerpoetsofinstagram #creativewriting #writers #writingcommunity #writersnetwork #writersofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #thingsgetmessy #bpd #thingswewanttosay https://www.instagram.com/p/CNRMbvqlSjL/?igshid=w992qvxs4274
