my boy only breaks his favorite toys @ttpdpoetryweek

lucifer was god’s favorite he only followed his nature to question, to be curious for that, he fell

and i was your favorite you followed your nature to tell, to be helpful for that, i fell

and you were my favorite i rejected my nature to hate, to be vengeful why does it still feel like i fell?

Guilty as Sin?

am i guilty as sin, guilty as charged if i learn to shut down, to know who you are with no way to escape am i your willing friend?

we are first-second-third, what i deserve cut the middle-man out, now i'm built to serve if i do what you want can you give me my end

spirit away, another's mistake it was never my choice, take me again if i swear loyalty, please promise me back my place

learning to play the cowardly way despise courteous feet, twisting away there's the sting of your hand, still have your brand on my face

smile too fond, beach and bleach-blond if i give in to this, hard to resist he might make me complete, brushing the teeth from my throat

another home, dust, open roads if i'm learning to love, learning to cope will you forgive me when i now and then let you go?

TTPD Poetry Week 1: Castles Crumbling

Castles Crumbling (Jen’s Version)

Can you hear it now?

As we stand here, breathing in the rubble

Save me, hold me close

They’ve changed, screaming hate we’ve never known

Let down, I let them down.

Each face I see transforms my heart to dust

Save me from myself, won’t you?

Can you hear it now?

Remind me of the bells that once tolled. 

Undo these mistakes, hold my hand as we try to heal. 

My darkness, my light, my choices are bare to them all.

Brave this with me, won’t you? 

Look at the sky, can you see the stars? 

I know we can fight this, even as it crashes down around us. 

Never give up.

Give only more.

point of view: from the outside

fool me once, fool me twice,

i fell both times.

sisters don't scalp simple things,

they don't leave you alone

when you clam up,

they don't keep a finger on the trigger

and smile like they care.

sisters can tell what you feel, they're

not the ones who cause you despair,

not the ones whose name leaves

poison in your mouth,

rot in your memories.

for years and a few more

i didn't feel, i didn't want

— i couldn't feel, i couldn't want.

i didn't know then but i wish

i could tell myself:

sisters aren't traitors,

they don't make you wait in the sun.

they wait for you in the rain.

the girl you knew once isn't yours

to own nor to lose.

so go along, be a man, lose your temper,

learn your lesson:

sisters brighten your blank canvas

with happy little trees.

they don't snake around your ears

and whisper some cacophony

in a language you're inept in.

they don't shut you out

and decry what you've done.

take notes, outsider:

be careful who you let in,

be careful who you've let in, too.

but: shake someone's hand and mean it

hug someone, love them when you do.

the outside isn't a bad place to be in

once you've found your troupe.

@ttpdpoetryweek anti-hero

i will never be your perfect hero no matter how many times

i sweep you up into my arms against the church bell chimes

in the background i can hear the sounds of demons roaring

but none of that will matter when i see you look adoring

the ghosts of the looks i once claimed from your eyes

they haunt me in nightmares they’re wringing me dry

i miss you and wish you had listened to me

but i should’ve known you were going to leave.

Willow

A heaven that I hadn't felt since the sanctity of my mother's womb

My childhood living room

Stroked with cords and frost

Somehow you placed me back in Eden

That everlasting golden season

Built me a home in a one-blink evening, promised you'd cover the cost

We crossed the threshold, my eager bare toes before your armoured boot

Compliments overspilling, overfilling, plastic flowers taking root

As long as it never emptied, never ended, never tempted by the fruit

I never would have left, but you left me there,

Stole my first time and my sleep

I had been a flowering willow, so now all I do is weep

If I had been born a man, perhaps I would stand

Stoic tree despite the loss

Down by the water, as a daughter, I will cave under the moss.

Week 1 of @ttpdpoetryweek

Prompt: Castles Crumbling (heavily inspired by the meeting on the turret stairs by Frederic William Burton)

There is nothing to be done, As I pass you on the stairs, The walls around us a tomb, Your hand in mine like a prayer. The castle crumbles brick by brick, The mob outside gathers, Are they here for you or me?  Or did it ever matter?  Their cries are full of hatred,  An Empire falls to the ground, And you can’t really save me, For I am already drowned.  My chest is sick and heavy, What I breathe in must come out, On the turret stairs we meet, Being with you, I am without. If you fell, did I push you?  Am I guilty of this sin?  The dust covers you over, And I am torn limb from limb.

#I haven’t written a poem in 7 years #but it was so fun to challenge myself with this #and to challenge myself with rhyme and rhythm #which I am no good at #when my brain wandered about thinking about castles #it got stuck on the meeting on the turret stairs #which was also an influence to this poem #as well as ofc castles crumbling #ttpdpoetryweek #poetry #my poetry #castles crumbling

TTPD POETRY WEEK

Song: Castles Crumbling

the moat didn't work

it is useless against arrows

and words thrown like daggers

they never aimed for my heart

they aim for my legs, my foundation,

longing to topple me over

my dignity, my living castle

crumbling like too old cake

my body, my fortress

my life, my great mistake

wanted once but not anymore

those who loved me

laugh as my tears outpour

I used to stand so tall

my castle walls high but pretty

my moat designed to weed out the petty

not a pretty palace like most royals lounge in

but a fortress built on old ruins

the first brick broke by choice

I was lonely I wanted company

no one could get through my walls

until they came like a Trojan Horse

wanting in to my empty citadel

"I should have known," I yell

but I would still make the same mistake

again

they loved me when I threw big parties

but not when I dreamed of armies

of a way to make something of myself

before they turned me into someone else

a castle ruined, a castle crumbled

the stones did gleam in the sun

the castle's flag whipped in the wind

now it is torn to shreds

crumbling down like my walls

when I let them in

they launched their catapults right through the walls

but I was broken before they watched me fall

broken by the betrayal if not by the missiles

my subjects became my demise

an overthrown queen for the history books

a decade later,

strangers will walk through my ruins

wondering at beauty so quickly wrecked

they'll like me better broken, crumbled

and I'll just sit and watch

Wondering if this is worth what was lost

#ttpdpoetryweek #i hope it is okay that this is early #i didn't want to chicken out #taylor swift #poetry

TTPD POETRY WEEK SUBMISSION

Week 1: Castles Crumbling

Sun is high

Tide is low

To the ocean, she will go

The waves, they soothe her

Into a trance

Scraping, patting, shaping sand

As she builds castles with her hands.

Idlewild

Lost in thought

By herself, she forgot

The Pacific, how specific

When her heart was whole

Spinning, skipping, on the coast

Traced her name on the way home

The salted wind

It tastes the same

But the sands of time

Have shifted, changed

She shakes her head

Of the reverie

Shapes a moat, fills it with the sea

Builds up curtain walls

And turrets tall

And over there is the Great Hall.

Packs the sand into towers

Carves out a Barbican for hours.

Cuts battlements with broken twigs

Digs up driftwood for a drawbridge.

Windows made of speckled shells

each one for a former self.

Presses pebbles into ramparts

Transforms her sadness into art.

Tide is high

Sun is low

Aching back, she stands up slow

The waves, they wash her

To her core

Rising, rolling waters roar

As the castle crumbles to the shore.
