A Simillacrum Aug 2018
Idealism boards its boat
and sails out to the ocean
and its middle reach.
Out as far as it will dare
it takes its detached opportunity
to yell its prayers
back at the beach.

"Wouldn't it be better,
if things were just [x] way?"

"The problem is that we're [here]
when we should be [there]."

Both bare and shoed feet
fist up the sand
and shout
shout, shout back --
They shout back,

"In the mid, your world is gold.
Here on the land, everyone's stomping toes.
On purpose. On accident. It happens.
**** happens. As far as living goes,
reality just is. So, sink with your conviction.
We challenge form, train adaptability.
Super humans laughing up from the tar.
We've come so far. We've come so very far.

It's still nothing."

hospital smells yell,
Each narrative more loud;
redemption silent!

I hate how you yell at me.
You call me
rude,
disrespectful,
ungrateful,
and so very rude.
I really am trying my best,
I just can't live up to
your level of expectations.

I don't want to
talk to you two,
or be around you
when you're with him,
or tell you
I am afraid.

Your potent opinions
seep into each other's
and make loud noises
that ring in my ears
like a stone-cold
thunderstorm.

You care, you don't.
You're strict, you're not.
You yell quietly, you loudly speak.
Stop doing this to me,
I can't handle any more of it.

He raged,
He bellowed,
He yelled,
I kept quiet.
Once again, he ranted,
Anger he vented,
He berated,
From me not a sound,
My silence was profound,
More eloquent,
Than my response.
Sometimes it pays to be quiet
She Writes Dec 2017
I’d rather you scream at me for ten hours,
Than give me the silent treatment for one.
Screaming shows me you care in a twisted way,
Silence shows me you couldn’t care less.

in this world full of noise
it is hard to be listened to

i chose to write
rather than yell
When my umbrage lush
so costly is yer hush
with the mischief in blood
really only a maiden wish
with me whose ireful dish
doesn't set me further atone  
in the skin now shine tight
still anymore I play again
so with another day apart
I hire a myriad in you.

Aleppo
City besieged
So many fallen
Beneath your feet
Joy and Laughter
Replaced by
Horrors unseen

I see the pain
In your eye
Senseless fighting
Bombs falling from the sky
Screaming, Yelling
Children crying
Blood on your streets

The world on its knees
Hoping for peace
Your beauty forsaken
Loved ones taken
A path of destruction
Complete devastation
Will you ever be
Aleppo again?
