Rain
 May 2017 lavendersky

Rain drops
Falling in my head
Releasing their
Kinetic flow
As they fly
From my mind
I am free to
Fly from the rain
Fly free from
My trouble
As I float in
The sky I
Know that
Everything
Will be fine
As the raindrops
Fall on my head
The rain can be
Nourishing too
After a long draught
A strong rain can be
A good thing
Sometimes we have
To let a little rain
Fall in our lives
To truly get ourselves
Clean and wash
The grime away from the day
A poem about rain
i no longer have
much of a taste for those
unspoken words,
waiting, they turn sour
in your mouth
stagnant with captivity
until hesitation turns to dormancy
and the feelings go away
do you even remember the words you didn't say?
if so,
i'm sorry,
for how they must
rot.

yesterday's barely gone
been only
like ten minutes and I
am wanting more of her
glory

we both glazed over but
her nakedness makes
it all stir again
I reach over
touch her ******

kiss the nape of her neck
grasp her fine *** cheeks
in both hands  she gasps
half closed eyes
I see

her melt again and me splash like
the crest of waves on the shore
arm in back arm around my neck legs
entangled  in wet bed sheets

the dawn arises bangs yellow brightness
on two naked bodies
trying to become one
Calamari float,
changing tack,dive inwards quick,
life's contrary turns!
For all the times I hated myself,
For all the lies that came out of your mouth,
For all the pain I ever felt,
For all the punches below the belt,
For all the times I had to fight,
For all the tears I cried at night,
For all the scars I inserted,
For all the secrets you blurted,
For all the times I took your part,
For all the times you broke my heart,
For all the times we were involved,
For all the problems unresolved,
For all the wounds that never healed,
For all the parts of me you killed,
For all this time I lived in the past,
From this time on I am free at last.
Wrote this poem at 3. am
I am a friend of yours
if tears need to be dried
you need hugs or a ride
when you feel alone
and you need to be home
every time you want to smile
want to walk someone a mile
if you need a diary
or simply wants to be happy
every time you need support
and when you need comfort
whenever you need someone
I'll do my best to be that one
just tell me
because I am your friend
and I will always be your friend

oh, talking to myself again
am I thinking out loud?
pardon.
Such a shame it is,

To be a writer.

We feed on sorrow and pain

We romanticize the tragedy

And live off on the agony

Angst is what fuels our days

Love is something we love to illustrate

Through magical words

Which are written in calligraphy across pages

Heartbreaks become our muse

Lover’s betrayal becomes our passion

We claim to devote our time to writing

When the truth is that we are constantly just fighting!

Living in a mental battlefield

Where the conflicting thoughts

Trigger our rage and grief.

you are my paper-cut
wound that wont heal;
you are the water in my lungs
my Achilles' heel.

around my neck- tight noose;
my quiet self abuse;
my lucid dream-
my silent scream;
and faulty safety fuse.
