Quand il pleut, il pleut

..that poem/those words are kind of very cynical but also very insightful as well, so I don't really want them to be cynical...I want them to be uplifting/hopeful..?...yet somehow they leave you with a feeling of hope/belief as well just because you know that someone else kind of 'gets it'...has experienced all of the rubbish but still sees some hope and good..and yet doesn't..is realistic....hmmm, it's too early for thoughts but I know what I mean lol....

Quand il pleut, il pleut

When the sun is at its brightest but outside the skies are grey
When the words have choked inside you and there’s nothing left to say When fear is armed and at the front line preparing to advance When your chosen song is playing but your feet refuse to dance When the orchestra is playing but comes crushing through your ears When the world around is waltzing but you’re crippled in your fear When life’s beggar stretches out his hand, there’s nothing left to give When death grows more intriguing than the prison where you live When you’re looking for tomorrow but it’s nowhere to be found When you’re stuck within this moment and your arms and legs are bound When you bathe in pools of tears and they incinerate your skin When this game of life you’re playing is the one you’ll never win When you’re seeking words of promise in the solace of the song but the symphony won’t reach you on the tower you sit upon When the prisoner inside you pleads for mercy to be shown but the pleadings are unheeded as his flesh falls from the bone When the wilderness consumes you and you lay your head to rest And you sink into the wasteland as you terminate your quest When the hostess of depression hands an invite to her lair And your helpless desolation makes her certain to ensnare |

Fluttering on the ledge of solitude
Tormented abyss of desolation Dejection has spread warm enclosing wings Plummeting hope into desperation Within a tiptoe of self-awareness Blink of an eye from eradication Anguished depths embrace all hopelessness Intertwining with resignation Poised on the brink of mental misery Amid a faltering hesitation Suspended upon celestial charges In a tantalising levitation Floating on the verge of obscurity On fine clouds of nullification Hovering on the edge of wretchedness Abrupt plunge into eradication |

Dustbunnies
I awoke today with blue vacant eyes Staring into heaven And a swirl inside told me That time was somehow different I knew my doldrums had come to a halt My conscious no longer a pillar of salt I want my spirit out of it's vault My soul control without a bitter fault I want someone to share life with me No coma soulmate for a poster child reality We'll find beauty outside of the screen Then write the adverts in the middle of your dreams No more background periphary Just god watching our ballet of beauty Seeing out hearts bleed in to each other Tinkering with the machinery of our new life Sex, money and free will Dreaming of worlds larger than our own With a smile for everyone Anesthetized in the joy of the setting sun A conscious attempt on my part to write something a little less gloomy. I recently finished reading Girlfriend In A Coma for like the millionth time - it's practically my Bible - so it's partly in the flavor of that. |

Thank you .
I'd recommend checking it out sometime. Girlfriend In A Coma, I mean. It's a beautiful sort of existentialist novel about a group of young adults having personal apocalypses and stuff in Canada. Can't describe it but yeah it's brilliant. |

I'm amazed at the poetry in here, amazing stuff
I've written a little poem about my mum, it's simplistic but heartfelt. Grief I've cried more than a thousand tears At memories we've shared over the years It's hard to accept you being gone And that life has to go on I miss you mum You were taken too young But in God I still trust That you're somewhere Still watching over us Goodnight my beautiful mum

It's my dad's birthday today, he's been gone over 10 years so the pain has faded away and I just have good memories but the pain of losing my mum is still very very raw so I wanted to share the poem I chose as part of her eulogy, it's lovely, bittersweet but lovely...
You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back Or you can open your eyes and see all she's left Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Going through my old poems and figured I hadn't put anything in here for a while. Hopefully it will kick my arse to write more.
Dear Husband, I love you. I love the way your hands massage pain into my heart and shoulders. I love how you are unsupportive in everything I try to accomplish. I love the way you roll your eyes at every suggestion I have. I love how you keep a tab for every single penny I earn and spend. I love how you demand instant reply, yet leave me dwindling in silence. I love when your fists strike doors, and my brown eyes. I love how you punish me for every woman that has hurt you in the past, That means so much to me, you wonderful man. Thank you. I love how you gained total dominance of me, made me your puppet, Always holding and controlling my strings. I love how you have made me feel so alone, even my shadow is yours. Dear husband, I love you.

I know it was posted a while back, and I'm not a big fan of poetry, but I really liked that Dustbunnies one Stu posted.

Here's a couple of my favourites:
What Is It? Cloud formations on a given day and wondering if you've seen them too are enough to make a morning pass for me. Was your day filled with wanting, or the needlepoint of knowing that I waited and that I wait for you? I did. I do. Swing safely home to me, come evening. Make room for me within your life and I'll make room for you within my arms. If you don't know algebra or Alice by the the fire, or even why some roses fail to climb the wall, ask the question of me. Never be afraid to say, What is it? Rod McKuen We'll Go No More A-Roving So, we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest. Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon. Lord Byron. |

To you my love,
on this day in which we have waited a year to show the world how much we really care. The silence the eyes the long drawn out nights in the room, steadily declining such resentment consume. Each night we become the dining dead at the table nothing like love in the childhood fairytale fables, Such few words such few caring such few interest in you your lack of interest in me also is nothing new. We become one for the show become one for our friends back through that door our façade soon ends. Then back to ourselves back to self despair back to this noose of "love" yet I chose to place myself there. But somehow this silence is a blessing as it saves the future testament of much later life with you and making the investment. But don't tell me you love me such an empty shell, prolonging both our living hell. You took my heart from the grave how I wished you left it there since with each passing year I grow in despair.

Garage Flowers on Valentines Day
They said I was in trouble with garage flowers They said that she would know I forgot They did not see how hurt I was inside I could not afford the places they suggested as they went off to their Valentine dinner dates So here I feel all the more wretched, because I could only get Garage flowers But among the other graves as I remember you and what I lost, they still show how much you meant to me.

One from me!
Standing in rain so the tears don't show Each rain drop feels like a hammer blow I know it was love, that's why it hurts me so My feelings are raw, they ebb and flow Your a grenade in my hand that I can't let go I want to hate you, but my heart won't let me Your life seems full but mines half empty So now I'm drowning in a head full of emotion Another victim in the lost love ocean. |

Thank you, yes I did write it, I know it's hard to believe, but It came out of my mind and on to my phone in the small hours.
It's funny, I think, some of the best stuff comes out when someone is suffering and feeling real pain. Last edited by thesheriff443; 21-02-2015 at 10:56 AM. |

You look at me, as i look at you
We both realise what we are about to do, We lean towards each other This is so much more than being just a lover I want to know why I feel the way I do Why have I never gotten over you It's been so long and we know it's wrong So why can't we leave it We both have what we want so why don't we believe it I have a hunger in my heart, it's begging me to feed it You are my addiction, give me a fix, I totally need it Your heart was there for me to take, the promise I made I did not break I know my feelings are not one sided, our love is being tested and our loyalties divided I don't want to text you but I know i will I can't hide the way you feel.

I may have posted this here before, so my apologies. Facebook reminded me I had posted this.
