pictures only hold so much
I tried to hold on to you,
but my mind let you slip from my memories
and now all I have are pictures
of a woman I don’t remember
and barely recognize.
You see, in my hands
I hold nothing
because nothing is what I am left with without you
and I wish I could still recall
your lips on mine,
your body pressed close,
or how it felt to hold your hand in my own,
but I can’t and I never will,
but the pictures tell a story
that I wish I remembered
because I know
that you meant something to me
and I know I meant something to you.
I know you were mine and I was happy to be yours.
I just wish pictures held more than image
Confound you, illicit butterfly!
You have dizzily thrust your
breathless, starting, sunset arms
into my cage once more;
but can you not see
your withered winged brethren
round the red bars of this place,
grey and weary and warning
that the stale miasma
has not yet abided?
It is not not yet your time, my butterfly,
for Spring is 'round another corner
I have yet to pave.
I curse not you, but the bars —
the cowardly, crimson bars.
Carefree, carefree I wish to be,
I long to be with her.
She'll teach my heart just how to see,
I'll be her perfect sir.
I'll learn of love in her embrace,
And then succumb to her sweet grace,
I'll learn of love,
I'll learn of love,
I'll see the love upon her face,
Oh, carefree, carefree, carefree.
Carefree, carefree, I do foresee
A lifetime at her side.
And in my heart, so much new glee,
I feel I must have died.
I'll fight no more for I am caught,
See me now, a Gordian knot,
I'll fight no more,
I'll fight no more,
What more have I to give to thought?
Oh, carefree, carefree, carefree.
To be carefree, it is my dream,
And fi
You promised me, my love, you see, and I shall not forget.
We climbed the tower stairs as the bell solemnly chimed.
"If life forbids our love, then in death we shall wed."
You took my hand, we kissed our last, and off the edge we stepped.
But you let go, so I alone, plunged into the night.
But you promised me, my love, you see, and I shall not forget.
So I wait for you now, my love, for I know you must regret
Your eyes were flick'ring candles as you watched me die.
"If life forbids our love, then in death we shall wed."
You'll see me there again, some night, waiting by the tower steps.
You'll take my hand, I'll lead you up, up into the s
Nothing but a word
That's how it all began
The word became flesh
When His dream became Man
Thought of before conception
Chosen before birth
Planned out before existence
His vessels on this earth
He could have done it all
For in His eyes, all was done
But He made us partakers of His pleasure
In every victory won
Created like seeds
True forms locked within
Revealed through work over time
And a partnership with Him
And the lilies fell
to their demise
as your words flung them from their vase
making the shattered glass
of what I once called home
decorate the floor in sickening glitter.
And as your utterances
engrave the walls
in echoing shades of black
I realize,
that I am those lilies
laid down to rest
never to be picked up again.
She felt as if he had stolen her words by GirlUndefined, literature
Literature
She felt as if he had stolen her words
She felt as if he had stolen her words -
stolen them right from her poetic core.
For months she had been unable to write,
since she couldn't find a rhyme any more.
The "big reveal" had left her feeling raw
as she got lost in a labyrinth of memories.
His nonchalance, his inability to repent -
she was broken by this behaviour of his.
He acted like she was irrelevant, so small -
too small to deserve a heartfelt apology.
Anger, disappointment, sadness and pain
all prevented her from creating new poetry.
The proverbial shit had hit the fan,
destroying every obstacle in its way.
Her words were gone, he kidnapped them all;
she couldn'
My life has ne'er been lifted more
Than when I think of my amour
She makes my world a perfect sphere
For her, the worst will I endear
I win the joust tagged by her name
Each fight is fought to win her fame
All good I do in love divine
I give and say "my heart is thine"
All that is known I take to heart
Eternal does this love impart
Death could not end a bond so true
As love cementing me and you
