Time Is The Cure

Right hand of destruction
Left hand of creation

It's a never ending cycle
A fatal revival caught in a downward spiral

I tear down reality’s mask
As I build up a truth to give hope a chance

The veiled darkness decays
The guiding light fades

I let go of an old pain
As new tears wash it away
-
The sun always rises
The moon always sets

The rain subsides
The storm is put to rest

Clouds confide / Memories detest
Skies collide / Cries confessed

Light shines / Dark regrets
Pain hides / Peace professed

A new day awaits
An old night forgotten

Tomorrow I shall awake
To cradle what remains unbroken
-
I can't erase my mista

A World Of Gray

A World Of Gray

The dull sun glares upon our society
On this meaningless morning of today

Reflecting each others hypocrisy
Transfixed on each others gaze

Think-headed and relaxed
Nonchalant and vexed

Practicing the art of being ungrateful
Portraying the act of an imbecile
-
Some say that it's just life's cycle
As they lie through convincing smiles

Feeding false information
Teaching faults from past generations

There's all different kinds of people
Who carry around different kinds of evil

My skin turns to stone! / My blood turns to ash!
My heart I disowned! / My sins drown in a mass!

My organs turn to dust! / My sight becomes colorless

In The Rainfall

In The Rainfall

Pent-up
Overly repressed
Dripping with blame

Thoughts erupt
Pain expressed
Drowning from hate

I felt...
I felt...
I felt your anger

I held...
I held...
I held my pieces together
-
I always wait for the right moment
To finally break down

I need the pain to flow perfect
To let it all out

I'm reaching for my tainted core / I won't let you corrupt me anymore
You will not be a part of me / This is not how it's going to be

I always wait for the oncoming storm
That's the only time

Endure it all until the promised calm
Just to call it mine
-
Set free
Sorrows shattered
I am myself again

Grief released
Clouds scatter
It's gone

Embers In The Rain

Embers In The Rain

My blood contains the power of the sun
Instigation becomes dangerous
And when control is reduced to none
My rage is monstrous

There's no turning back when it begins
I will be searching for a source to blame
I will unleash a torrent of hell from within
For I am known as the bearer of the flame
-
I loath crossing that line
Being locked behind blind eyes

But I won't regret the ruins that I will create
As I leave supernova footprints in my wake

I destroy everything more than once! / My limits are undone!
Infinite ashes haunt darkening lungs! / My heart becomes numb!

Consuming infernos help me cope
As I bathe in the smother

Shadow Echo

Shadow Echo

I'm just a figment in the glass
My tears reflect the shattered past

I hold the death of a future in my hands
Knowing it can finally be over any second
-
Don't waste a precious thought
On what cannot be seen

None of my failures were caught
As I continued to fall free

I cannot be considered lost
Because no one paid heed

Suicidal soul / Tragedy foretold
Fate controlled / Heartless evermore
Silenced sold / Destiny gambled
Grown cold / Bound nevermore

I turned off the switch in my mind
So let the end have its way

This will be the last time I close my eyes
I'm relieved knowing everything will soon fade

I waved good bye to the li

My Darkest Hour

My Darkest Hour

I've become lost
In my sundered reflection

I've finally crossed
The line of desperation

I sense something sinister
Something that is beyond cruel

My tears seem to hinder
Ready to break down soon
-
The darkness is always waiting

To rule / To conquer
To swallow / To devour
To return / To overpower

The shadows are always lurking

As I cry / As I weep
As I beg / As I plead
As I fall / As I grieve

The blinding fear is consuming
-
My anxiety-infected veins pour
I'm beyond weak

I don't want to be afraid anymore
Let me bleed

This is the only way out
A perfect exit for a coward

No longer am I bound
I couldn't survive my dark

Drowning Out The World

Drowning Out The World

I find myself in the sounds
I release my pain in the lyrics
Enveloping peace is found
The vibes calm my spirit

But when silence falls
Reality and time stop
And then my mind floods
With ever-consuming thoughts
-
The walls in my head break down
The serenity within goes silent
And every regret cries out
My memories become violent

I get this sensation
That my soul is too damaged

A dreadful realization
There's nothing left of me to salvage

Music is just a distraction
To blind myself from the carnage

I remain behind the destruction
Where darkness has the advantage

Remnants of rhyme hinder
Calling out to me once more
Ne

Shattered PeaceFather, I must speak
As the peace I’ve held, has reached its peak
The boy I was, is thought to have strayed
But in your blood he has always stayed

I cannot hold
For this heart of mine, grows certain and bold
Shackled to manhood I must confess
The façade I’ve grown, was far from a success

I am
The youth you’ve battered with heavy disdain
The life I was, told to fear and abstain
But fate was dealt so long ago
When the faith we held made it so

I am
Young prosperity, empowered and free
Towering in confidence so all may see
But humbled by sacrifice, and hosts who may disagree

Father, do not turn away
These words I spill

The Final Act

The Final Act

♪Slide knives through my veins
Put a bullet through my head
Swallow the pills to cure my pain
I will fall towards my final rest♪

If you're reading this
I can't say that I'm sorry

Too low have I fallen
I gave into those past memories

I allowed this to happen
But in the end I was able to find peace

♪Slide knives through my veins
Put a bullet through my head
Swallow the pills to cure my pain
I will fall towards my final rest♪

You tried to help me cope
When I was at my wit's end

But as soon as you left me alone
The darkness made its descent

It's corruption was mine to hone
A shadowy friend that I woul

Unfazed

Unfazed

Hardships are a token
There's so many scars
I'm proud to be broken
I'm a living shard

I live off of regret
Breathing in certainty
My life feeds on suspense
It's almost considered a dependency
-
People break down sometimes
That's an understatement
Pretending to walk the line
While hope is in fragments

Can you imagine-
Enduring another lifetime
Even a fraction-
Of the pain I called mine?

I reach for the sky / Sweat falls in the fire
Worshiped halos remain shy / Shall I wait here forever?

People say we are all loved
That's nothing but a lie
Belief and trust become lost
That's the only truth I will testify

The gates will stay closed

Sobriety's Rise

Sobriety's Rise

I exiled you from my veins

You will never affect me again

Take with you the very worst of me

I will no longer be a part of thee!
-
Too long have my eyes been closed
So many years have passed in vain
I couldn't let the road ahead get any worse

I'm no longer a victim of your taint
I dwell no more- in those old woes
Though I regret the pain I allowed myself to sustain

Mirrors don't snare / Family doesn't glare
This hope I bear / I've made it here

Cleansed my spirit away / Allowed scars to fade
Embraced the change / Unlocked the cage

My dreams no longer weep
The nightmares refuse to reimmerse
I can move forward if I really

Morning Light“Morning Light”

These hills that I’ve traversed
Within each and every verse
Have led me to believe
In all the things I see
And where I am right now
I could never imagine how
I have gotten myself to stand
On my own two feet again

I thought I could never dream
Or at least in what I mean
Or maybe this is fake
And these thoughts I can not shake
So sad and unaware
Bad thoughts are always there
Floating in my head
Taunting me instead

I don’t want to be naïve
And believe in what I see
But this thing called pressure
Is more than I can measure
Anxiety never disappears
Even though the ones I fear
Have finally gone away

-
Impossible outcomes
Are only chosen

Paths outrun
Hurt worth sparing

Shining sun
Always an opening

I know what's right / To protect my life
I'll reach for the light / To shine so bright

There's no limit to the sky / A smile never felt so fine
Never thought it'd be mine / I'll take it as a sign

Wounds healing
Time will pass

Words forgiven
Memories like sand

Reasons reuniting
Now I stand

I rose above the destruction

I became my own guardian

Dreaming Of Tears

Dreaming Of Tears

Weary-eyed
Weakened to the very core
Traumatized
I can't endure this anymore

I'm going to black out
And be transported to a realm
Where my screams don't make a sound
Hate keeps me bound while I leave my fears to drown
-
I loath the days without rest
I despise the nights of endless stress

Though I can't settle for anything less
Because lower than this is death

It's like living and sleeping within tortuous realities
Even though I'm unconscious- there is no such thing as rest for me

No one knows how powerful my dreams can be
No one knows all of the graphic images I've seen

-Twisted-How dare I
My affections have rendered me powerless
Haven’t my dreams always been this way?
Nights of loving agony
Soft lips, sharp fangs
Nothing could be so twisted
Than the fantasies I’ve woven into rope

How dare you
Adorning yourself in my nightmares
Becoming radiant and powerful
Didn’t I dream you were this way?
Soft voice, sharp words
Nothing could be so twisted
Than the fantasies knotted around my wrists

In The Snowfall

In The Snowfall

I remember it
As if it was just last night
Our surroundings were lit
Illuminated by the surfaces covered in white

The way you smiled
It gave me comfort inside
And my heart seemed to be veiled
Knowing you have become a part of my life
-
Step by step
I stopped blinking
As we tread
I ceased breathing
Chills were sent
Our hands touching
Our lips met

Gazing at you is a must
You curiously peered up
As snowflakes danced down towards us
And it dawned on me that I was madly in love

Mesmerizing my soul
Spreading a calming warmth
Into my core
I held you in my arms
I felt whole
Connected our hearts
Alone

Rain Of Color

Becoming Unjudged

Becoming Unjudged

Hypocrisy
Devoured beliefs
And engulfed society

It's hard to believe
Some of us still have our humanity
But there are those who still cannot see

The damaged moralities
That was bestowed from corrupted creed
You don't know the heavy burden that each of us carries
-
Growing up
As gray as gray can be
Told that the way I am is wrong
I was taught to fear the real me!

Learning to hate differentiality
Hearing whispers all around
I despised my own identity
Things need to change now!

Some of us don't even make it that far / It's not what you do- but who you are
None of us should ever live in the dark / There will

Rain Of Thunder

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Rain Of Thunder

I took the gift of light for granted-
Assuming I would always see
But when my world darkened-
My fears took the best of me

And I would give anything
Just to see a spark or a glow
But my faith was also fading
Withering away like my hope
-
_{The only sight I had
Was beyond the walls in my mind

But they were just figments from the past
A false savior that I could only hide behind

The shadows were becoming my mask
It was shielding me from living my life

The skies rumbled ominously / Like cries echoing sorrowfully
I felt rain falling endlessly / Like infinite liquid apologies

Reality shed the blackness / The roars fiercely pierced
My eyes ignited the darkness / The heavens suddenly burst

What once was lost
Can also be found

For effects without a cause
Nothing would ever be returned

Our paths will cross
For destiny is bound}
-
The lowest of the low-
I have seen
Through the darkest shadows-
The light intervenes

Revealing what I regretfully missed
A symphony of beams exiled from grace
The renewed colors and the abyss kissed
As I heard the thunders calling my name

Rain Of Color

All of the struggles I had to endure
I always desperately held on
It was a day after day ritual
Learning to stay strong

Different advice from the wise
I had to fuse it all together
And make sense of every voice
I couldn't allow my hope to wither
-
Believe in the soul
Embrace the heart
It's what makes you whole
It defines who you really are

Envision the dreams
As if they're real
Remember where you've been
Know that every wound will heal

Every scar tells a story / Every step is towards glory
There's always a chance to triumph / There's always a time for resonance

We always pick ourselves back up / There's no su

Critique by ~Ardikani4 Mar 19, 2013, 9:59:26 AM

What an amazing piece! It took me reading through it two or three times to get used to the flow, but once I 'got it', it really hit me just how well this style worked for you!

Never seen a poem in this sort of form before but each unique separation made me really sit up and take notice to what had been written. Very well done!

I felt the emotions here easily; beautiful! I am impressed! You conveyed your perspective here so well!

I loved how you used the rain and thunder to help convey each point. It made this piece that much more real.

Overall, I loved your technique and the imagery you portrayed (beautiful photo, by the way

). 10/10!

Until we meet again...

what once was lost can also be found... wonderful words for any who cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel (Luke 15:24)

~Sheencascade Mar 20, 2013 Student General Artist

Wow, this poem is really well excited. I quite enjoyed the flow. The symbolism is quite effective, each metaphor was different from the next, but still related as a whole.

Great work!

I'm so happy that you liked this one. I worked very hard on it, and I was satisfied with how it turned out in the end.

Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful comment. I just love reading the feedback I get from these poems. It keeps me doing what I'm doing! <3

~WilBear Mar 19, 2013 New member

Wow. It is a stunning beautifully creative piece that is powerful and warm and heartfelt. The photo plus the written piece combined are hope with reality. I know someday that my path will cross another and I also know what I have lost will be found again in time. And like lighting I cannot "make" it happen..
