Weightless



No real direction
just floating
no up
nor down
just blue 

No real sound
just a pulse
tapping at the wrists
for the ears 
to hear.

The longing for air
to be like water
where one
can simply float
is strong.

Smiling





It's like sunshine
gently
warming you
from the bones
along the veins
through the blood
then strokes the skin


A mouth not having
a will of its own
twitches upwards 
teeth possibly
making an appearance


No control
but not wanting any
happy to be here
and not be anywhere 
else.

Darkness





Fear of the dark
is not the darkness itself
but the fear of the unknown
if there's something
hidden
in the midst of the shadows.


Fear of death
is not the death itself
but fear of the unknown
if there's nothing
or something
for our so called souls
to end up in.


I'll try shine a torch
in that darkness
hold on to some hope.
Let's try to be brave.

Make a Wish





Stars
Candles
Eye lashes
Dandelions
11:11
Simple things
loaded with
heavy burdens


They can float
around us
despite that weight
a slight reminder
of hope.

How to Forget Your Reflection





Look in the mirror
remind yourself you're repulsive
Look at the floor
avoid eye contact
to forget.


Try to stop the mind whirring
at a stranger's whisper
Don't guess what they're saying
concentrate on your feet
count the cracks in the pavement
one
two
three
Forgotten for the time being.


A glimpse of a reflection
in the window
Another reminder
count the cracks again
try to forget.

Specific

Again - used oneword.com and wrote this in a minute =] 




It's something that cannot be blagged
or lied about
It's details
Usually important
asked for
when someone needs to know something
delving deep
in to the facts
leaving room
for much else
but the truth.

A Poem on Poetry





Poetry:
emotion
in motion 
words flowing
never knowing
exactly
the right words to use
try not to abuse
the language 
try and make it good
the way we should
holding a mirror to life
and reflecting
on the reflections.
