Hell of a friend

I’m writing to you but my pen’s out of ink

draggin the words like a ghost without feet

ive said it before and you’ll hear it again

im sorry that I was the worst of your friends

it wasn’t the sadness, the high, or the drinks

it wasn’t my family, the job, or my dream

it was all me

I caused the pain, my names on the sword

I forged it with malice and thrusted it forward

I wished it was me but my soul had me cornered

this what I do man Im killing myself

im wearing all black trynna dodge all the help

alone in the desert I exile myself

hottest of summers but this feeling don’t melt

I’ll tell you what I see

I find beauty in the dark

Damn me for what I love

The beauty in the eye

With an iris made of mud

 

A hidden sound I seek

Birthing from the lungs you use to breathe

A chord vibrating bliss strung by your tongue

Pronouncing words of harmony

 

A billion ears

But I listen alone

Venue to myself

I’m feeling at home

 

I  found where my heart is

Hiding within all your sonnets

My soul follows suit

Sleight of hand on cards with my romance on it

Is this the answer you’re looking for?

The thought of you

There is no end, no limit

I wish for you the way I wish for my music to be louder

Everything’s better that way

The chaos I desire

 

No two individuals are the same

With billions of people on the world

I must have great aim

We never shoot to miss,

I shot once, without a desire to shoot again

I have the treasure that I seek

I pray to the stars to keep me humble for I lose my way when she speaks

Vibrations through my body

She’s the planet ruling me

Aphrodite,

Reality is gone when you’re with me

 

Intangible

Sway like leaves by my breath and the words I speak

You sing your melody while I scavenge all the open seats

Selfish I am,

Passion offers no limitations,

Infinite love for you

Powerful force indeed

Not to be taken lightly, but surely

Like the ocean water flowing onto land

Just leave me with the moon

She doesn’t try to shine like the sun

She glows

She lights up my life in this dark world.

Addict

Whirlpool,

In her eyes and I’m sucked in

A vortex that has taken many men

Swooped us away from the world we thought we were living in.

Love is an understatement to an addict

I’m frozen in a world that I’ve never known

Medusa,

the way her gaze freezes me into stone

Remind me of the beauty in beholders,

Hair full of snakes and I never would’ve known

Oceans and the world on my shoulders,

I carry every tear and the weight

The strength in me is endless

So long as it’s for her,

Only her

Emotions

I’m stuck with them, day and night

And you are unaware

At least that’s what my eyes perceive

My mind’s not clouded by the simple things in life

Although I am obsessed with the world of dreams

Am I lead astray?

Are you pure water, but I added taste?

Were we both high, but only mine was laced?

Meaning

I romanticized our time together, but your adrenaline was all at face

I’d be a fool to apologize

to reject the masonry that gives me form

My heart’s at sleeve

camouflaged with tattoo ink to shield the muscle that’s been torn

It’s too easy to be like you

Pretending not to care,

We both live in planets of imaginary

I just wish we were breathing the same air

Parallel in our fantasies

A vibration that God’s considered rare

My heart still beats so I’ll be on my way

Another meal for my underlying narcissistic traits

Feeding my immortal sense of taste

It whispers to me,” Coming are the Days

Where your will gets its way”

This divine energy

Always finds its place

Our chapter’s at its end

I crushed the story without leaving any crumbs to trace

Surprise shouldn’t fill you when you see the empty in my gaze

OCEAN WATER

The water comes,
One…
After another…
And another…

When’s my chance to breathe?
Without the hormones of survival.
I get a glimpse of reflections of the lunar sky,
Beautiful, but the waves envy me when I look at her.
Is this what love is?
Constant crashing with a dose of peace?
A recipe for disaster, with a hint of sweet.

My lungs adapt,
I no longer feel the crash,
The waves,
Now caress me while I lay,
On the surface, and to my dismay,
The moon is new.
Waves of tears from my ocean eyes,
As I search for you.
In this endless body and unknown world.
Find me lost,
At the bosom of these ocean swirls

I lay with ships that met demise
Wrecked without you,
I stare into the siren’s eyes,
I continue to sink to,
This seafloor,
Where I lay to rest
We’ll meet again in this vast and moving coffin,
‘Till its death,
Love is ocean water as its moving often

The top three responses will be shared this Sunday coming; so you have plenty of time to write and share your inspired piece in the comments below. Happy writing! Kristiana x

PTSD

Remember us blending into one

If you were sad, I was sad

Doubled barreled gun

Pointing at you and me

Who was it that that ruined all the fun?

I pulled the trigger and Blew us across the wall

Nothing else was working so I had to make the call

You would just cry and always tried to stall

The inevitable end, but I don’t mind at all

Taking all the pressure,

that’s what love is for

I know your heart wouldn’t bear the soar

I’ve built this shell to protect my fragile core

Now all I feel is pain,

Like a soldier jumping top grenades

Splattered hearts and brains

PTSD, life’s but the same

Sing for Me

I’m deaf,

Numb to the words you speak

With an angelic voice,

You are an encrypted soliloquy

Whistles and tongue directed sounds,

A process like growing plants from grounds

The words are formed through the release

Creating dialects and accents of different towns and different streets

Different sounds with different beats

With so many options,

My ears resort to one,

I ingest your voice like a buccaneer with rum.

Quite frankly I tend to be less of self,

but my instincts scream that your voice is meant to sing

for only me.

 

Cross your Heart

Scruffled beard and used up clothing

Is this the style you like?

My natural pose

Why are you so obsessed?

I’m condemned to live a life of chess

Every move has a compound effect, a never-ending series of events

I’m supposed to believe you’re head over heels?

Hearts in your eyes,

Assuming I’m real.

I’m better off in your fantasies

Numb from the pain that’s included in deals

There’s always a fine print

Mine requires a heart with an iron chin

For my love is an eternal bout

Where knockouts define the bond we are in

No need to prove that you are head over heels

You’ll cross your heart so many times,

death wouldn’t hope or dare to question

Whether true love really exists.
