Through an Angel's Eye
Some see the world through rose-colored glasses,
some see it only as bad.
Some see man split into one of three classes,
some see it only as sad.

They say that the eye to the soul is a window,
some find such introspect lame.
Still others may prefer to focus on shadow,
some seek out fortune and fame.

To see the world softly through colors sublime,
requires a heart that is pure.
Yes, to see the world as an angelic rhyme,
the eye must be steady and sure.

Through the eyes of angels she captures our world,
the wonder of God in her lens.
By virtue of her work beauty is unfurled,
earning her many a friend.
To HooverHoover state: waking up to sleep
because that’s all I’m good for;
out of work, out of time again
and my brother won’t spare a dime.

Blanket sweat reminds me of this
Hoover state: waking up to sleep
in depressions of this planet;
the moon weeps for me in daytime.

I yank my pockets out, like it's
my country's flag; punch-line of the
Hoover state: waking up to sleep
in my sagging skin on decline.

I've no penny to my name,
jumping out the window (one
last time) makes me worth more in this
Hoover state: waking up to sleep.
Broken Hearts Can Still Keep BeatingHis hands are not like yours.

Grieving
like lace across glass; a
[a] black galaxy
made a memory of me.
He told me he felt
cast into chaos.

Arms flailing,
he murmured

"A distant red dwarf--
wove stories
of liars."

A subtle kiss of stardust
felt like a promise
holding the world still
but even that
suddenly seemed made up.

I'm sorry,
I still don't know you.
RedRed is the blood of life flowing through veins;
Red is the petals of a lover’s rose.
Red is the stripes looping ‘round candy canes;
Red is the polish painted on my toes.

Red is the crab apple eaten by deer;
Red is the velvet of Christmas stockings.
Red is the lantern welcoming new year;
Red is the plumage of cardinal wings.

Red is the blossoms waving from the tree;
Red is the brick wall protecting my home.
Red is the sunrise saluting the sea;
Red is the faded ink on the worn tome.

Red is the color of life, love, and war,
And yet red symbolizes so much more.
Stand StrongI stand in awe at the strong winds blowing
Hurricanes rising and tornadoes growing
Housing blown away and long hair flowing
Killing the crops of this year's sowing.
Stay strong, dear brothers; Strong in disaster
Stout in the winds that blow ever faster
Stay strong for your children, strong for your wives,
To get to the morning you must first traverse the night.
ContrariwiseSilly little Alice,
Forget all you thought you knew,
For deep inside your head,
Everything is all askew.

If they tell you that one plus one,
Equals twelve and half, my dear,
Don't worry yourself about it,
For two is so last year.

Don't even try to be different,
Or it'll be "Off with her head!",
And you'll find it's better to live a lie,
Than it is to end up dead.

So heed this socially accepted advice,
Ditch any scraps of your insanity,
To cavort with the Hare in March,
Join the Hatter for a cup of tea.

Fritter your days away,
Dancing under a Cheshire moon,
Don't mind the surrounding chaos,
Ignore impending doom.

But even as you join in
A Poem for LokiRhyming is hard
Just so you know
But for a friend
I'm giving it a go

His name is Loki
From Scotland, of course
Today is his birthday
I heard from a source

Plays Pokemon for fun
and Nuzlockes them too
Though one in particular
Might need a redo

His adventure in Hoenn
Was not quite grand
Many comrades died
Of course, not planned

But in the end he won
With a badass team
Including a Mightyena
Who reigned supreme

Not forgetting Mad6
Who replaced 5 before him
His chances of survival
Were really quite slim

And then there was Boom
Who exploded with glee
Against a troll Milotic
We won't forget thee

Tittypank is next
In the list of honours
Though
Continuous VoicesIt all began when I was ten
I found what lingered in my head disturbing
And it wasn’t until I grabbed a pen
And saw what truly lingered when I began writing.

There were continuous voices within my head
I was not one to favor them dead
Although, they had violet images attached
The way I wrote them matched.

Since then, the voices have changed
Octaves have risen and lowered
Their words have exchanged
And eventually became uncensored.

These continuous voices have brought war
Ones with an uprising roar
And at moments I want to kill the sound
For they are so profound.

Yet, they continue to crescendo
And welcome me to a hidden story
And so
Aur si plumbUn gând de aur, dar se simte
mai greu ca un pumnal de plumb
ce intră-n coaste, se învârte,
și caută să iasă prin minte...
Stilou de aur, scrie versuri,
dar lasă urme ca de plumb,
pe foi mânjite de cerneală,
și de cafea, și alte resturi...
 
Un glonţ de aur, dar se simte
mai tandru ca o zi de plumb,
îl pun aici, închid capacul,
și ca un gând, îl scot prin minte.
SandmanSleepwalking in tainted dreams
Falling through its open seams
Caving into unsure grounds
In a dream where fear abounds

Tightrope nerves are torn right through
All the facts become untrue
Screams are muted and lost midway
Still terror exists to my dismay

Faces change the closer I peer
The way I feel becomes unclear
And in the end I know it's fake
The pivotal moment when I awake

But still disturbed and afraid to dream
I wonder if they are at all what they seem
So I close my eyes and there you are
Staring at me looking bizarre

You told me you were there for me
To fight off the frauds valiantly
Trusting you I did what you said
I unmasked the
What may be a dream?Oh, what may be a dream but wishes mute?
Those thoughts that dance and prance a time or two?
The silent longings of the heart set free
To lift the spirit from chambers dark and cold.
A dream is as a morning mist of spring;
Refreshing, light, and gently promising
To all who sleep and wake in time to catch
The welcome peace and glory they behold.
But woe to waking hours; the bitterness they bring
When dreams escape the loving hold of thought!
The plaintive heart starts longing once again
To sink into the realms of possibility.
An AfflictionA bitter, purging wave of syllables
Unspoken chunks of memories and thoughts
Imperfect, raw and utterly sincere
The phonemes splatter hard against your heart

The sudden, wracking, cathartic release
Of vowels, consonants, and emotions
Completely empties your reserves of verse;
Vocabulary drips from nostrils flared

A fragment of dreams clings onto your tongue
Before it's spat on the reflective pit
That dreadful grip begins anew and forces
A dry-heave of clichés and tired words

And though it tears the lining of your soul
This sickness shall continue; never cloyed
Faerie InspirerThere once was a faerie so stunning and fair
With smooth caramel skin, and long, dark, locked hair

She was clever in mind with a deep-rooted soul
A carnal shaped figured; true beauty in whole

She danced in the wind, with her wings at her side
Enchanting onlookers who fell mesmerized

As she flew through the sky, to her home on the moon
Her departure caused many admirers to swoon

They composed complex tunes, and wrote tales of her splendor
And drew detailed depictions, desperate to remember

The faerie’s return saw loud cheers and great art
Each piece revealing a piece of their hearts

They begged her to dance for their eyes once agai
An Aching NeedAn Aching Need

This Kingdom of magic and wonder suits me very well, for I am without want.

I rule absolutely over my ugly subjects, like a puppet-master maneuvering strings.

The sting of want may not exist, but I have an aching desire for the one I hunt.

They are fairly simple , yet very beautiful to me; I NEED them above all other things.

My wiles and trials to win them over have led to a devious act, for which I regret not.

Whisked away through my mystical Labyrinth, her beloved brother sits upon my capable lap.

Though through her luck, and some help, she has made it to me, and ruin she has wrought.

And even though I thought myself
A man such as meHow do you think it would be,
to be like a man such as me?

Copper mane unkempt, unruly, distort,
from showers too long and sleep too short.
Eyes darting erratically, vibrant and blue,
sunken in purple pits, looking blackened and bruised.
A nose, big and red, once hit with a bat,
a maw full of teeth, yellowed, crooked and that.
A beard full and lush, fit for a king,
(one I should trim one evening...)

Betwixt my shoulders lies a beating heart
one which stirs for music, words and art,
one which constantly yearns for intimate love,
but is under command by the grey matter above.
A pair of lungs, tightly restricted by my bulk,
only shallow breath

More from ~Bittersweet17

You're GoneA flash of light but then it's gone
A spark of happiness
In my imagination it lies in wait
My quick relief
You were once that light I think
A good thing I guess
Now you're gone forever with no regrets
I don't think I care
Thank you for providing me
With this brief time
Now I'll leave you or maybe you'll leave me
I'll be alone, it's okay
Take My Breath AwayI don't know what to think
When you're sitting here right by me
I just wish that I could
Show you exactly what I see

When I look in your eyes
I know I could survive
Through the wind and the rain
All of lifes pain and strife

I see you
And everything seems so brand new
I don't know what to say
Cuz you take my breath away

Everything's different now
And I don't think I mind at all
I know you will be there
When the good times and bad times fall

When I look in your eyes
My heart begins to dance
And I'm so glad that I
Decided to take a chance

I see you
And suddenly I'm not so blue
And the skies are not so grey
And you take my
Never NeedYou smile and my world begins to crumble
You kiss me and you're all that I can see
You hold me and nothing seems to matter
You are all that I will ever need

You left me but nothing's left to crumble
You will not ever kiss me again
You held me now you will never matter
You are all that I will never need

You're all I'll never need
Everything is clear now
You had me you left me
I don't want you anymore
You're all I'll never need

We were together for so long it's over
I won't speak your name ever again
I hurt you and you hurt me we're even
Will your ghost ever leave me I don't know

I loved you so why'd you have to leave me
Maybe
I Won't Waste My TimeI'm staring out the window at the sea
It reminds me of the colour of your eyes
THinking back to the way you looked at me
When your eyes were full of passion and I still believed

The summer nights spent staring at the stars up in the sky
Living life without a single care
Never stopping for a second to ask why
Now your eyes have grown cold and it's time for me to go

I'm walking out the door right now
I won't turn around or say goodbye
You'll miss me when I'm gone but I don't care
I won't waste my time on you anymore
Lies?I think you lied to me
You told me you were happy
But nothing you've done
Can prove that to me

I think you lied again
You said that you were just friends
But now what you've done
Can't prove that to me

I don't know what to think
Maybe I'm overreacting
Maybe it was all a dream
Or maybe I mean nothing

I think you lied to me
You told me you loved me
But you haven't shown feelings
Proving that for a long time

I think you lied again
Because nothing's making sense
But I hope I'm wrong I hope that
I can delete this song forever

I don't know what to think
Maybe I'm overreacting
Maybe it was all a dream
Or maybe
Not Sure Where I'm GoingI don't understand the way you feel
I just want to know this is for real

But I'm not sure where this is going
But I guess if the words just keep flowing
It will be okay
At least for a day

So I sit here and wonder what you think
About this thing we have going
And I sit here my thoughts wrapped
In silence because I don't know what to say

I want to understand you better
I want to kiss you in the rain
Maybe if I read your letters
The words will come to me again

But I'm not sure where this is going
But I guess if the words just keep flowing
It will be okay
At least for a day

And I'm looking at you but I'm not sure
What to say

One Day

:iconbittersweet17:

One day life stopped making sense
It didn't seem to have an end
So I decided to make one up myself

One day I learned that I can bend
And be broken just like everyone
I'm not invincible and I will never be

One day I hope to understand
Just what this life means
One day I hope that I can stand
Without help on my own two feet

One day I woke up tired of crying
Of caring about something
That was never real to begin with

One day I spread my lips and smiled
I didn't know that I knew how
Cuz it had been so long

One day I hope to understand
Just what this life means
One day I hope that I can stand
Without help on my own two feet

Today I realized I'm broken
And I need help to fix me
Now I know just who I can go to

Today I realized how obvious
It had been the entire time
I can get help fixing me from you
