Lift You Up by Mr. PoetAll

If I were the world

Would you be my Atlas

A titan not afraid to hold the barriers

Of boundaries

Between

Gritted teeth and silly giggles of

Deafening challenges

Like I wish you would try me

A little harder.

This dare is the truth

I plead not to plead the fifth

On you.

So if the world crumbles

Under your arms

I will always

Be there

To catch

The weight of burdens

That clouds cannot even hold.

For they to

Cry.

Raining pain that only space

Will fill.

Can we not

Talk about

The times

You shattered me.

Instead

Let us divulge upon

The areas of gray

Yet

Unfulfilled.

Just as the waters

Have not all been claimed

The gripping tips of my fingers

Will n'er refrain

From restraining

Myself

From saving

You.

Thank you so much.

Inspired by your last poem title that I read and fell in love with the thought of ETERNAL LOVE / ENDLESS LOVE.

You are and will always be a great poet and inspiration to me.

Thank you @scatteredthoughts2

I just published my poetry zine!

I put together this poetry zine in 3 months for my typography class. This magazine is a 25 double-sided pdf with a unique typographical design, including 11 English collab poems, 3 English poems and 21 German poems with 23 matching black & white photos. You can buy it for the low price of one small coffee on KoFi (3€) and there is a "pay what you want" function if you want to support my creative work!

Dive into the diffuse waters of poetry and search for the hidden meaning behind the words. I write about the little moments that make life worth living; not important events, not grand gestures, but everyday things. By writing about them, I give them value. The writing process is characterized by the fear of the blank sheet of paper, which has to be overcome without giving in to the urge to fill up the page. Diffuse poetry therefore describes the concept of having the courage to leave gaps and to deal with them openly. Not naming things clearly, but capturing the underlying thoughts and feelings. In contrast to concrete poetry, which is based on a clear statement and always has a message to convey. Have the courage to read between the lines and think about what you read, because words only have the meaning that we have given them. Poems are just condensed language, and always leave a certain amount of room for personal interpretation. I hope you enjoy reading between the lines!

Oh poet,

Search for me when lost words become lost feelings.

Oh poet,

I am right here, right where you left me in your last dealings.

Oh poet,

I urge you, USE me, a sword and a shield I'll be to fight against all beings that are against we.

Oh poet,

They do not hate you, they merely do not understand our relationship.

Oh poet,

Get angry, pressingly tag my pages with your raging lyrical graffiti — ink blotting every person that has caused us to feel this way today.

Oh poet,

You can cry on me too, trust and believe I will dry your tears up with stains of fame — hold on, someday you....will be famous.

Oh poet,

For every sweat dropped from brows, every blood dripped from ows, every letter typed/written out — you will be rememembered.

Pass the happy! 🌻🌈 When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications!

Thank you @unmondefou for the tag.

Reading books, legal texts, articles, basically any written material that I find interesting.

Writing anything that comes to mind either from legal research or from self reflection and experience.

Texting and chatting virtually, human connection albeit online gives me a sense of belonging.

Being engaged in tasks that challenge my intellect or spurs on meaningful debate among like minded individuals.

Listening to music (or should I say Linkin Park and Imagine Dragons mostly).

[vujime]

Sunshine gone.

Shivering in cold.

Left the truth behind.

Went away from reality.

For a warm touch.

The touch was there.

Caressed by warmth,

Started healing.

Only to realise,

It was not out of love.

Don't know what it was.

As the touch couldn't see,

It just felt.

Felt the anger,

The jealousy in me.

So it withdrew.

Abandoned,

Dying of cold again.

Searched n searched for touch

It left me to feel somebody else.

It's warmth caresses somebody else now.

Winter is my destiny,

As sunshine's gone forever.

.....your ghost don't look so well .....

by Ambrose Harte @scatteredthoughts2 

It’s been many years since last we met,

and now we meet, we meet in death,

a lifetime’s o'er, a lifetime’s gone,

what’s past is past, what’s done is done.

Your ghost don’t look so very well,

I guess it’s all them years in hell,

and you don’t scare me, I have no fear,

even though, I sent you there.

Am I dreaming now? I’m not so sure!

maybe the police, are at my door,

perhaps they found, the grave I made,

where no holy words, were ever read.

I have no remorse; no tears I’ve wept,

you died too fast, that’s my one regret,

and if only I could have my way,

you would die again, every single day.

written by Ambrose Harte / Scattered Thoughts 2. read by @intothevortex

Once again I am thrilled to present a reading of a poem by my long-time Tumblr friend Ambrose Harte @ambroseharte & @scatteredthoughts2

Ambrose is the master of the macabre, and I adore his “dark poetry”. In the last years, I made quite a couple of readings of Ambrose’s work, but this is the first one that I posted to this blog. And I am sure it won’t be the last.

Thank you very much, my friend, for giving me the permission to do so.

Fading to black and white

My camera is failing me, And that fills me up with fright, What once was bright and colourful, Is now in black and white.

What once was clear and vivid, Gets darker every day, And my memories of sunshine, Are now clouds of mourning grey.

My focus is all misty, And the landscape's in a cloud, And what once was full of life, Now lies dead beneath a shroud.

But the camera never lies; What you see is what you get, And my photos are all fading, And I'm filled up with regret.

This Much Is True

Once more into the water

Another, new attempt to begin

What we'd started

Spark to flame, fire to smoke

Rising into infinite sky of blue

Heaven completed by you

Was a soft june evening

When I heard, first got word

That you were leaving

And I didn't know you

Were about to depart,

Had to go...

It was just a little spark,

A firefly in the night,

Yet it tore our world apart,

And extinguished all the light.

Your leaving is so bitter sweet,

Your going will be hard,

But the saddest part are the words you tweet,

The sadness of the bard.

Gone from our lives, gone from the street

Vanished like a ghost

Though I can still see you . . . on the beat

You're out of sight

I know this much is true

Now all I am . . . is lonely

All I feel . . . is longing

Left home, alone with an emptiness

Feelings frayed from foreverness

The joy and bliss of our first kiss

Gone now!

All done and dusted!

And my old heart?

All stopped and rusted.

No more kisses,

No rights or wrongs,

No more sad,

And lonesome songs.

Our love is a love,

That eternally belongs . . .

Our first collaboration in a couple years but always such easy sailing . . .

Thanks, Ambrose, for the honor!

Cheers all,

Chris

Tag, get to know me.

For @petrow; who tagged me, and for anyone else who would like to get to know me! :D

Favorite color: As a child it was navy blue, as a teenager it became sky blue. Lately however, I’m taking a liking to a dark purple that’s almost black.

Currently reading: I’m on and off with a lot of things, reading being one of them.  So “Secrets to Face-to-Face Communication” and Hunter x Hunter are a couple things I’m reading.

Last movie: This is a tough one to think about and remember but I’m pretty sure the last movie I saw was Spider-man: Far From Home.

Last series: I’m currently watching Cobra Kai, just started the third and most recent season!

Sweet, spicy or savory: Sweet, definitely sweet. Like plum sauce.

Craving: Plum sauce lol

Tea or coffee: I love tea, don’t get me wrong. But I started drinking coffee about 4 years ago and I haven’t gone back to tea.

Currently working on: A lot of things and I’m procrastinating all of it, that’s why I won’t give a specific response. When what ever I’m currently working on gets finished, you’ll know lol

Tagging @haikkun, @just-4-thought, @purgatorypoetry, @teaspirationss, @trinns, @scatteredthoughts2, @jade-fox, @writteninjoy2. You guys are welcomed but not obligated to join in, take care everyone!

👻☠🧛‍♂️💀BEWARE! 💀🧛‍♂️☠👻

TONIGHT THE DEAD APPEAR!

👻☠🧛‍♂️💀💀🧛‍♂️☠☠👻

Tonight when you go Trick or Treating,

Beware of whom you might be meeting,

For at every door that you might knock,

You could be in for a nasty shock.

On our street you best beware,

Of where you knock and who'll appear,

For down the road in Twenty-one,

Live the Living Dead ✨ who shun the sun.

There's a crazy guy in Thirty-five,

Who likes to eat his meals 😋 alive,

And across the road in Twenty-four,

You can hear their children scream and roar.

And those who call to Old Thirteen,

Will still be heard 👂 but never seen,

And if at Seven you ring the bell,

You'll be sure to get a glimpse of hell.

Number Three is all bright and gay,

Full of songs and laughter and games to play,

But if you happen to call there,

The whole damn house will disappear.

I'd keep away from Number Eight,

Where some say the devil 🤘 lies in wait,

And the old hag living in Number Nine,

Turns children's blood into sparkling wine 🍷.

There are many places on our street,

It is not safe to Trick or Treat,

And if you call to my front door,

I will keep you here forever more.

Golden tears

I claw out my skin, hoping they would scratch my eyes Crying golden tears, they scald my hands and melt my flesh. Lost with saudade, I don't go home still, for it's only a figment, like the tip of a cigarette.

If it weren’t for that fateful kiss, I could have escaped the abyss. A true heart made of gold; Devoid of emotion, under my fingers turning cold.

If I can't see again, it would be better. Rather than have a filtered fantasy, I would hear the truth from you, and feel your intent.

When the leaves turned golden, Everything led up to this event. The gods have failed what they promised to protect: A blossoming love, now doomed with neglect.

THANK YOU @scatteredthoughts2©!!!

Hello dearest friend,

I am writing from next door,

And though we are best friends,

I would love if we were more.

If I tell you how I'm feeling,

Then you might move away,

So I try my best to hide it,

Though I see you every day.

There are moments when I tingle,

When our hands do lightly touch,

I want to throw my arms around you,

And say I love you very much.

But if you pulled away from me,

If you turned and walked away,

Things could never be the same again;

It would be the saddest day.

~To you~

From @mondscheinprnzssn:

Pass the happy! When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications. @mettaton-official @vrosko @jenntherobot @boonanawamma @theycalledmehoney @baby-gayest @augustinemirrorball @ballycotton24 @brokenglass0cean @scatteredthoughts2 - sorrrrryyyyyy if you don’t like being tagged in these things :(

Lying face up in a field, watching clouds move

Wandering aimlessly around foreign cities 

Vibing with people I’ve just met

The sensation after swimming in cold water

Overcoming the shit-scared feeling just before kissing someone 

N.B. Not necessarily a top 5 and there’s a whole lot more of life’s little pleasures I could list.

The “Sunday Poem”

I noticed with quite a bit of shock that my long-time Tumblr-friend, the Master of the Macabre, Ambrose Harte is missing on my list of “Sunday Poems”. I had to change that. Immediately. So, I read one of my favourite of Ambrose’s poems, the wonderfully dark and eerie “The Soul Collector". And this poem certainly won’t be the last one I’ll read. 

“The Soul Collector”by Ambrose Harte

All my “Sunday Poems” found on my YouTube channel in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzwdqN_pqJncmI52cpbyoHYhE_1jZ1QFp

find Ambrose’s blogs here: @ambroseharte @scatteredthoughts2 and - in case you don’t already do - give him a follow (or two) while you’re at it. His poetry is amazing

Thank you, Ambrose for your “carte blanche” :)
