Where I think I didn't French kiss
Now the hammers are down
Groundng me to the ground
Lost in this moments caress
Of these moments I'll miss
My heart is pounding hard
Did I play it right, my card?
Or have I missed something important
Or is life for me, a mutant
Rearing it's ugly head
Sometimes wishing I was dead
Better left unsaid
Bullets are lead
It's easy to say goodbye, cruel world
In a casket, at least I'm part of that fold
Drowning my sorry sorrows
Like a murder of crows
It's hard to see the light
And pretend it's all bright
But I know deep down I'm not alright
Just want to disappear out of sight...
Moments like these I just want to throw
All that I planted and sowed...
Hard to admit all this sorrow
Like life is something borrowed.
I must move on
The past is no longer a party...
Impactful dark images in your poetry! The rhymes seem to sound a bit forced, I was wandering if you're also writing free verses poems. Thanks for sharing!
Always free verses and yes forced because I'm hesitant to write what is left unsaid.
I see...but I think here is a safe space, not that public as in really going in front of an audience...but I understand one can still feel hesitant, of course. I guess the important thing is to be congruent with yourself in this very moment. Best thoughts there!
I'll keep that in mind and hope I don't say to much that will offend or make people worry.
That is what I'm hesitant about. I sometimes come off as being brash...
Poetry is so personal and yes, some people that know you might feel in a way or another because of your poetry. On the other hand, poetry is not necessarily about oneself and people are hard in getting this one. And where to put all your truly thoughts and emotions then? That's too bad and I have also been there and even had some personal disputes about it...well, in the end I think you need courage to be yourself even if other might not admit it. Poetical writing shouldn't kill anyone in the end...
What is it?
The pen is mightier than the sword?
Yay, good one 😁
This is poetry with an elegant urban rhythm. 🎼
Thanks, I didn't notice that.
