Poetry is Not For The Faint Hearted

There is no need to cry for me my dear, I will always love you.

But lately, it has been hard.

No one has crashed and burned and been busted and broken as much as I have.

So ride that white horse, gallop along my prince charming, I know you will find me one day.

Among those birds, flying up to heaven, to see your angelic face.

I love you my dear.

Believe me when I say I want you.

I don’t want a fairytale, I just want you.

Signed, Ophelia

My Song – Poisonous Kiss

My eyes are blood shot

My vision

Is obscured by the

Tears that roll down my cheeks

My head screams at me

Voices of hate and envy

Infiltrate my mind

I’m crazy

Your gaze burns through my skin

Your hands will destroy me

This empty love will be

The death of me

Your touch burns through my skin

Your lips will destroy me

This poisonous kiss will be

The death of me

This blade cuts deep into me heart

Waiting for your stitches

To mend this wound that pierces deep

As you burn our pictures

And as I sit here in the dark

I wait for you to end my misery

For your bullet to impale my heart

Please just put an end to me

Your gaze burns through my skin

Your hands will destroy me

This empty love will be

The death of me

Your touch burns through my skin

Your lips will destroy me

This poisonous kiss will be

The death of me

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your gaze burns through my skin

Your lips will destroy me

This poisonous kiss will be

The death of me

Your touch burns through my skin

Your lips will destroy me

This poisonous kiss will be

The death of me

(your kiss is poison)

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

Your kiss is poison

 

 

Apocalypse

Sombre red skies burn the sun

Our feeble hearts turned inside out

Bloodshed, slaughter, destruction unsung

Death brings foth damnation

Drought

The screams of ravens

Rupture black seas

Hells cold hands gripped around my neck

Ravenous winds spread the worlds disease

a plague of deception, lies and deciet

Walks all over me just like an insect

Stinking of dried blood

Scraped from the guillotine

Conspiracy among lost souls of the deep

Obsidian

Flames engulf the sand

a plot to destroy the likes of me

Will reign hovoc across the land

The earth crumbles beneath our feet

Into darkness we decend

Here i stand, deaths gaze paralyzing

and i realize that this is the end

Prioritise . . . Guys

Well, very weird, but interesting non-the-less.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but when the roads workers ‘fix’ a road, by covering it with a really thick sticky black liquid then sprinkling thousands of dangerously sharp fast-travelling gravel bits onto it like the 100’s and 1000’s on the top of a children’s pink fairy cupcake . . . it can tend to be a bit annoying . . .

Is it not just me? Or does that sound like the lazy attempt at fixing something, slap on a layer of sticky stuff with some gravel on top then it’s done . . . it’s only a road after all, and of course no one ever walks along this road, so it’s perfectly okay if the ground is covered in small sharp rocks which soon become fast-flying projectiles thanks to the motor vehicles that travel along it. No, but okay, I do understand that there’s a lot going on in the council chambers, lots of decisions and money to be arranged, especially lots of stupid roads built right through people’s property just because they ‘think’ it will increase the fluency of traffic travelling through certain areas. *cough* Kingston Bypass *cough*

Nah, so the gravel covered road didn’t bug me as much as it sounds like, I’m just using it as an interesting opener.

What I really found interesting is the prioritising the council folk seem to have planned out. There are electoral signs (“Vote Now!”) that get replaced the day after they are vandalized and yet we have road signs bent, roads cracked and distorted and speed limit signs on either side of the road giving two different values. [I’m not kidding, a one sign on either side of the road, one says 80 the other says 60″]

Isn’t it interesting that the political signs come first, then the road, then the signs . . . bizarre.

But the one thing that made my walk home interesting, is the gravel . . . well, apart from it flinging up into my face every time a car passed by. That sticky black stuff they cover in gravel looks like a liquid, it looks as though if you were to dip your finger into it I’d stick in so much you’d be lucky to see it again. Yet when you touch this sticky black stuff you find that it’s solid . . . and I find that a rather weird illusion.

The anomaly produced some pretty spiffy photographs too.

Well, catch you later folks!

Lead Me

Take my hand dear child,

and i will lead the way,

to a place of desires and mystery,

take you from this world of decay.

There shall be rainbows at every corner,

colour will fill your eyes,

No more crying little child,

Everything they say is lies.

I’ll take you to a place of perfect,

where any dream can come true,

leave this world alone,

Just as it rejected you.

Among all the beauty,

Something isn’t right,

You are a bird dear child,

You must take your flight.

Do not be afraid my sweet,

nothing can hurt you now,

Your eyes are shut, body’s asleep,

You’re safe, this to you i vow.

Awake from this nightmare,

that we all call home.

It crumbles down around us.

Your last flight has been flown.

Signed, Ophelia.
