My portraits of the past
remind me of all I have lost.
How cruel this world is
once you have given everything,
and have nothing left to comfort yourself,
as you pace around the barren,
haunted hallway of your life.

Cruelty amongst humanity knows no boundaries
The web it weaves can ensnare the utmost virtuous
Taunting the innocent with opportune dismay
Empowering the guilty with trials less arduous
It poaches the confidence of assaulted daughters

I'm taking it easy if it comes to fate
But for the time I've gotta wait
If you stay to long, inside my memory,
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody.
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me
And I sat watching a flower
As it was... – by Kristen Marie Rushlow | 86 Views added 1 month ago

Dear misery,
They never warned me
about your deceitful ways.
Watching your mistakes
has become so much more
than an every day affair.
Sing your vows before
we exchange smoke rings.
Don't answer the door;

When the rain seems to bring a tear to your eye,
remember I'm with you as the days go by.
Don't let the summer heat bring you down;
I never, in my life, wanted to see you frown.

In the midst of the cruelest moments,

In the midst of the hearts of the hopeless,

I trust you
Like you trust me
Of course, that's my right
My happiness, my posterity
I let you in
To allow you to change
But you blew it away
Yeah, all into my face
I could pretend it's not real
I could lie to myself

When the clouds of gray
have stopped,
clogged with rain,
emotions are chopped
into the words of the slain.
Why do the weary weep?
When all they are is tired,
tired of counting sheep
to keep from being wired
on an addiction so clean:

My shadow follows me
She has a life of her own
Walking along, behind, and beside
Wherever I go
She was born the same instant
The same moment I breathed life
We travel together as one
Wading through every strife
She watches my back

Heartaches come and go
And glasses of tears are shattered
But when will I find the one

My heart was broken a million times

When emotion moves inside me
Like a lover’s deep caress
It comes out on my paper
In the words that I express
It kisses my skin
In a way I can’t define
It stimulates my body
And arouses my mind
When I close my eyes
Our ideas intertwine

I wonder if the lonely sea

I don't think you are my type
But I sleep so much better at night
With you by my side
Hearing your voice echo in my dreams

Obsessing over the foreign, vivid colors
In your vibrant personality

Whisper a solemn plea
Warning me to walk away
As the mangroves consume me
Cast me out into shallow waters
Drifting further from the lauder
Enveloped by my own reflection

Mountainous white sands
Smaller than the smallest sea creatures
Spread along the elastic shoreline
The ridges laden with untold stories
Tempered storms, hushed winds
Ensembles of time moored
Speckled with new life
And the remnants of death

Alone in a field, she braces her trunk for each impact;
Shifting with the growing tensions of the relentless winds;
Fervidly eager to keep her furrowed, pliant bark intact.

Skin
Soft as velvet, smooth as satin,

The envy of all who catch a glimpse,
A beauty that leaves them weak at the knees.

As the sun gently rises,
And the sky’s colors paint,
The world awakens with surprises,
For a day that’s new and quaint.
The flowers bloom with grace,
The birds sing a melody,
And in this perfect place,
The day’s possibilities are free.
