The Poetry Marathon

Alone

The world is a horrible place

With cruelty that is too hard to face

And you feel like you’re sinking down

And that you might drown

 

You cry yourself to sleep

Because your sorrows are so deep

You feel like there’s nothing left to live for

And no one needs you anymore

 

And you think there’s only one way for this to end

Because you are so weak, you can’t stand

All your tears have dried

You’ve tried and you’ve tried and you’ve tried

 

But you just can’t find joy in life

It’s like you’re on the edge of a knife

You know you won’t be missed

There’s no reasons left to list

 

And you’ve accepted that you’re on your own

Alone.

Hour 4

Wise sayings cross my wandering mind.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

 

Rain is a blessing in disguise due to

the rainbows that appear afterwards.

So, in the darkest hour, I say to myself:

After all, tomorrow is another day!

 

(the last line is from “Gone with the wind”)

Haiku

Our hearts like wildfire

This day so full of promise

Now just beginning

 

(Hour 2)

The magic of clouds

Up in the sky where the clouds mix with soil
Grows brambles of plumquat and shrouds of cosmonaut
On hedges and homes in emeralds that never spoil
As the chocolate scent of flowers dance and dip and plot
In the dreams of the people that never toil.
The vines wrap around and through till taut
Wrinkling the air to soften the garotte.

 

Luzdelmes

Her Mother was inspired by her little daughter

The emergency of her words,

The worries about the trees,

The concerns about the forest,

Nature was speaking to her,

I couldn’t listen,

The Common House is waiting

Embrace it!

Beautiful Lavender Rose

The pretty mimi Rose

that grows adorable

Sits on each desks

Mind mindful scents anew

The Palace Homestead estate

She’s the caregiver

They touches the floor

Brings hearts to hearts

Very, verily

Public speeches

Private VIPS lnvitations

365 days of Devotions

They sits veil veneer on stages dancing

Him and her

To lighten up the story

Thank you,

With a hand shake

Appreciation

Love

Hope

And

Happiness

To carry on

And in victory

Lavender bulbs

Of Rose’s

He gives

Plenty of

6 o’ clock

Morning whiskers with

paws thunder to the window.

Outside, the world shakes itself awake.

It’s hour of peeking sun and

waking song birds,

warm fur on the cheek

and a purr in the chest.

 

(Hour 1)

Evolutionary Souls

yes, it can happen

dance all together with god

angels on pinheads

 

together in sin

support group for survival

we can win as one

 

living in silence

evolves into days filled with

poetry and song

Hour 4…dark mountain

come join us we leave at dawn

the day has been long and i am ready to rest

the journey infinite

then i open my eyes

i feel history

its fingers gently massaging my ego

a heavy blanket

to wrap a soul in

the memoies of rock and soil

reach into my heart

they beat

storys walk on the winds breath

the need for faith, wains

the need for truth, grows roots

i become the leaf

looked apon as a simple moment

exsisting

evolving

one peice amogst many

 

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (Hour 4)

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

By: LuvMiFreely

(Hour 4)

Bottled up feelings 

Sealed tight

Afraid to let any of those collected tears to leak out

All the years of pent up angry

It all fills the bottle to the brim 

No room left for anything else to go wrong

You pull it out when you need a reminder

Of the memories you’re afraid to let go of

You grip it firmly 

Protecting all the chaos

You’re scared for everything to fall apart 

Again…

But this time as you stare at that bottle

The tears forming in your eyes cloud your vision

There’s no place for them to gather

As they run down your face

Onto the security net you protect with your life

The wetness of your tears causing the bottle to slip right out your hand

You watch as it shatters

Forcing you to face the fact that you can no longer hold it all in

You allow yourself to feel every emotion that you’ve been denying

Cry 

It feels good to let go
