She has the pull of gravity

Unseen and so encompassing

She enters in a room, I feel

The tides are moving exceedingly

I try to steer, away and stay

An orbit just so far away

But then she comes , my course has changed

And now my life, rearranged

I hear a thunder, a distant storm

Lightning flashes to alarm

But calm is what she conceals

Hard to discern what now is real

I’ve seen that look upon her face

A gentleness, full of Grace

The gravity keeps tugging me

Not knowing when, where I might be

Heaven and Hell

“ Kissing him was heaven, Loving him didn’t go well.

The girl who wanted  paradise, Received nothing but absolute hell. “

You - #26 (feelings)

"part 2:

You said your feelings are dead.

And i'd like to tell you

I could rest in peace just looking at you smile."

#108

just a heads up // this could be the last one // for a while

what do you do?

when // you’red tired // of nothing, of everything, of sameness, of difference // of indifference // tired of the wretched human routine // the identical hours in the day // the needling repeating heart, the ticking brain, the rusting liver, the smouldering lungs // all of it, again and aching again // 

when // you’re empty // not empty like your plate after a big meal is empty // not empty as the boundless imagination of a blank page is empty // not empty like the chaos of space is empty, the greying waves, the vacant space above the ocean // more like how fog is damp and heavy and empty, like how something beautiful and ornate that lies shattered on the floor is empty, incapable //

when // you’re alone // and not the alone like you’ve always loved, the autumn leaf loneliness of afternoon walks, hands in your pockets, watching the city slide into midnight // no, not like that // not for years // more alone like watching all your friends get on with their busier, happier, better lives // as they grow tired of your latest breakdown // bored of you // and rightly so // alone like your parents and teachers and doctors all warned you // alone and signing off confessions to the internet, these binary friends flashing across a screen // like any of it matters 

when // you’re bored // bored of the human experience // bored of waking and working and wringing those hands that never belonged // bored of the mapped-out nature of it all // inhale, exhale // repeat until depleted // bored by the transcendental joy of stumbling headlong into a love not meant for you // bored by the latest tragedy, the bloodshed and the economy, the tick-tock politics // the worst crime of all, to be bored // to see a watercolour sunset bleeding into the soft dirt of horizon, and to be bored // to see the way people can be good, and kind, and brave // and to be bored by it //

when // you’re invisible // when you’re a stranger // when you’re in the way

when // you’re being logical // but that logic has a sinister smile and an insurance policy written in sand // when it says things like Death, not Love, will set you free // things like the future is a wonderful place, but never for you // not when you’ll always feel like this

when // the medication stops working 

when // you’re so sorry 

when // you remember as a kid, you always were supposed to thank people for inviting you at the end of a party, even if you didn’t have a good time // even if you didn’t get a goodie bag

what do you do then? // this isn’t rhetoric any more // please, I need to know // what do you do when you no longer find joy in anything, in the things that used to move you? what am I supposed to do now? what are any of us supposed to do? // 

I guess there’ll only ever be imperfect answers // it’s not enough // so here’s what I’m going to do: // (smile, even if I don’t mean it) // (try to make eye contact, even if it upsets me) // (clutch my little plastic bag of cake wrapped in a napkin) //

“Thank you for having me, I’ve had a lovely time.”

- Chris Lees

I'm working on taming my anxiety By "working" I mean failed attempts When people say "just calm down", it only makes my heart beat faster My breath get farther from my grasp Because I would give my life, in that moment, to calm down Describing a panic attack to someone that's never had one is the hardest thing I've ever done It feels like I'm dying But much worse Like the world is exploding around me, I can't breathe, I feel like I'm going to throw up, but I can't move, I can't talk, I just sit there as an internal combustion takes place It looks normal from the outside but my eyes go wide as the fear of every fear in the world comes pouring into my mind I feel my brain stretching, shifting, trying to take up as much space as possible, trying to fit as much worries and anxieties and as many unimportant details as possible My heart no longer keeps up with me, but it tries The steady rhythm jumps to a neverending running This makes me feel like my limbs might fall off, I can't exactly feel my arms usually, everything follows the very intense pumping of my heart But it's too fast for my stomach, it becomes too fast for my mind, as my thoughts struggle to keep up with my undying heartrate They race each other, becoming faster and faster, Causing me more pain as their pace quickens I feel like my lungs have flooded, or maybe walked away all together Air doesn't go in, air doesn't come out It's like my entire body feels as if it's failing completely, but it keeps going It's like being in a train wreck and watching everyone else, but you, die There's no break And maybe after it goes away Your heartbeat still goes too fast for you to keep up with But your thoughts are too tired to race anymore And maybe you can start talking again Once in a while, the overwhelming fear crosses behind your eyes, but it's more bearable Then the most important question must be asked: "what happened?" And this is the part that hurts, the unhappy end to the story, the word you always say but never feel: "Nothing."

Radiating the beauty of a thousand virgins

Selected for their overwhelming expression of desire

Their eyes, hair, the soft flesh upon their bones

The intrigue of words that might flow from their parted lips

You...representing the glow of a sunrise on a clear dawning day

The freshness of a summer breeze

That has encircled and escaped with the sweetness of the honeysuckle blooms

You have captured the essence of all imagined beauty

Standing there unpretentiously smiling as though to say "pick me"

Knowing that no one could feel worthy of loving you...

You...the amazing creation that must live and exist with this burden of beauty.

Take a walk on a distant beach

Take a look around

One might find a peace once sought

What looking for, there found

The water moves harmonically

The waves, they break with sounds

White noise that can soothe the soul

As though no one’s around

Salt is in the gentle breeze

Peace is in the air

Sands are soft upon the feet

Seems to carry cares

Oh, take me to the ocean

Let me view it’s might

Let feel the sense of seas

It is my real delight

The sun, it shines reflecting

It’s beauty there I see

Take to the ocean where

My soul desires to be

Emma dons her elusive wings

I smile at her parade

She has the look of reality

Never to be afraid

Dashing down the wooded hall

She flys, feet on the ground

Her face exuding bits of joy

Angelic looks abound

Taking them off, an option not

Considered in her mind

She flutters by, like a butterfly

Her wings perfectly aligned

With child like spirit

She swirls and turns

360s in the air!

Moving quickly running pass

In her mystical fanfare...

The full moon lights the darken sky

A moonbeam strikes me, I can lie

I see it, feel it, on my face

If only infinite, I could taste

Always amazed to see the sky

At night my mind, Why, oh why

The Milky Way, the moon, the sun

Wondering how, it all begun

I believe, I know God knew

I would look, As all should do

That I might think, majestic view

He spoke the Word

Life follow through

I praise creation, the beauty I see

From the brilliant skies

To the rolling seas

From mountain peaks

To the valleys below

And faith I have in God I know...

There are so many feelings

And thoughts that fill my mind

Joys, concerns and loves I have

The Wisdom I might I find

Like a fog, confusion comes

Blocking out the warming sun

Trying to find, deep sleep at night

A battle I’ve not won...

I do not fear, I do not cave

But thoughts keep flowing thru

Like waves that come

I toss and turn, I try to swim unto

A place so still

An island where

The water’s clear

The Palm trees sway

The breaking waves

Is all hear

Sounds that sooths the soul

Life is so encompassing

The daylight and the night

Eyes that see, plant seeds

The mind will not lose sight

There are so many feelings

Thoughts that fill my mind

Joys, concerns and loves I have

The Wisdom I might I find

I do not fear, I do not cave

But thoughts keep flowing thru

Like waves that come

I toss and turn, I try to swim unto

A place so still

An island where the water’s clear

The Palm trees sway

The breaking waves Is all hear

Sounds that soothes the soul

That soothes the soul

That soothes the soul
