A Cats Sound, By Cryptic Cryptid

I sit on an old red creaky chair by the window,

The rain pitter pattering against the window.

A white ball of fur sits in my lap,

Looking at me with big blue eyes.

Making an odd sound, familiar and calming.

A rolling of an R,

Rrr, Rrr, Rrr.

A calming sound,

from the within the throat.

What's the sound called again?

A murr, perhaps a churr?

No.

It's a purr.

Windy Evening

Original Poem

I guess I have to say, The winds make me sway, In a beautiful array, No doubt... And under the skies grey, Lightning strikes today, And the sun hides away, No doubt... And at noon today, Wind, make me sway As the sun looks away, No doubt... Let me be... Free Let me be..... Free Let me be....... Free In my freedom I sway, As the dandelions fly away, The wind slows it's array, I've got some doubts... The winds stops for today, I return to my cage, Of gold and clay, And lay sleeping again in my doubts... Was I ever..free ... ? Was I ever.... free ... ? Was I ever...... free ... ?

Red-Shifted ~ poem

We dance in dark energy

and press our feet lightly through cosmic cliffs.

And we have all the stars,

and all their songs that set us aloft.

Some have been worried,

the horizons are hurtling farther and farther away

looking for new company

where the stars are factories, and the nebulas choke

celestial bodies before their empty and barren

between belts, mass assembled

until there is no home,

but they'll keep on paving that milky road.

Eventually, they'll leave us behind

no longer interested in what we provide.

Lights out as suns wink their final breathe

The cold cosmos creeping in, it'll be a heat death.

Maybe you'll go too, battered and bruised,

but even light lingers from light-house

galaxies still shining in the darkness

shifted red, space large between waves

frequently still humming.

So if you must leave

I'll see your dance

and the press of your feet in those dark depths.

And we will have all the stars,

and all their songs that set us aloft.

For when the universe is dead and gone,

our creations will be last.

The skies painted with red light,

The same colour as our blood.

the coward's way out

if the fates conspire that only one of us may live, then lover, it must be you.

i will save you the grand speeches about how you are good and deserving. you are. you are. you are, but in the end, that is not the reason why.

the world may call me brave or strong or selfless but lover, you know the truth don't you?

in the end, i am only more afraid of facing a world without you than i am of facing death of facing anything.

in the end, i am only too weak to be the one left behind to pick up the pieces of a broken life a broken promise a broken heart and keep on bleeding when the blood in your heart is already dry.

i'm sorry. i'm sorry. but will you let me be selfish one last time?

can i ask you to live for me? to face what i feared most so that i might find peace in my eternal sleep with a smile upon my face?

if it is cruel of me to ask, then i beg you to forgive me. or curse my name and hate me if you must, only live.

only live, my lover so that my life and my death and all that came in between may mean something. may mean everything.

#spilled ink #poets on tumblr #poems on tumblr #writeblr #writers on tumblr #poetics #sometimes i write like some kind of possession #i had a brief thought of 'sacrifice as a selfish act?'#and then i was just like. speaking this poem to myself #out of the blue #i fixed some things from the first spoken draft obviously but #the rhythm of this feels important to me #and i'm not convinced i did the best job of linebreaking it #but it will do #The coward’s way out #why yes I did update the title a week later #this feels much cleaner #not giving away the thesis in literally the first word #Technically before the poem even starts

Eine Liebe, die man unterwegs findet.

"As life calls us and introduces us to love, then we begin to love someone and there comes a magical, sublime moment, in which someone kisses us for the first time with such joy and tenderness, which will later become an experience profound and unforgettable for a lifetime."

— Juan Francisco Palencia.

I am a mosaic of all the people i have ever loved.

I carry pieces of them just as they carry pieces of my soul. I’m a whole person, just not entirely made by myself.

An Unnamed Third Life Poem

written for my reading for pleasure class

Roses are red, violets are blue,

but those are not what I’m offering you.

Poppies are small, not meaning much,

but joined by a lilac, they have the right touch.

That pit caused me pain, and caused you some, too,

the sands are rough, and the skies are blue,

this water is cold, and so is your sword,

but I’m loyal to you. You have my word.

#this is the first poem i’ve ever written please me nice 🥺#the people in my discord servers seemed to like it so here ya go tumblr #poetry #third life #trafficshipping #never left the desert #desertduo #scarian #grian #gtwscar

My Only Wish

On every blown out candle that tops my birthday cake, On every penny in a fountain that makes the water shake, On every last eyelash that I blow off of my finger, On every shooting star that never seems to linger, On repeating numbers on my clock that spell out special times, On the dandelion fuzz that blows throughout the sky, On every broken wishbone when I win that silly game, My wish will never waver- I’ll always say your name.

1st Silly

2nd Fool

3rd Magician.

4th All teeth and curls.

5th You have conscience.

6th You have animosity and indifference.

7th You manipulator. You

8th Brave the wilderness

War. And fight fiercely.

9th You regret, you lost, guilty soldier.

10th Your newly healed hearts can't save you from the madness.

11th You take on many guises- dark and joyous, spiteful and beautiful.

12th You grow. You arrogant teacher; who can you save? Are you good, or bad, or are you still a fool?

13th But there are always new beginnings.

14th Oh hello, you're back and you're afraid.

15th And yet you know how to move on- what's that in the distance, coming for you? It's the Future, man of medicine, and we are excited to know what it holds for you.
