Onyx DreamsOnyx Dreams
 
Fluctuations of sound waves vibrate the floor,
While the lights of my room glow brilliantly,
But as time winds down and my energy starts its decline,
My vision gets blurry and listening becomes hearing,
And hearing becomes simple background noise,
While Palaceer Lazaro’s words become filmy intonations
Yet, still creating a motion picture full of abstract images,
In my mind full of words and phrases that do nothing but stay stagnant,
And Slumber begins to wrap her warm hands around my head,
As she sweetly begins to pull me into black depths of rest,
A state of unconsciousness that will take me on a journey,
Through the grey abyss we call the center of our nervous system,
And once I fall into the pit of nothingness, the pit of onyx, for those few hours,
I will transform into an atramentous being with aphotic wings,
Because “black is free……..”
I Don't Miss AdolescenceMy sister calls to ask me if I'll do her makeup;
Mami promised that she would, but she's tired
and screamed when Maria reminded her senior prom
is tonight. She says, "I have a hickey on my neck,
something she doesn't want to cover, and you've always
done a better job of highlighting the subtle graces
inherent to my bone structure, the angles we share."

I say, "That's okay, but I can't pick you up,"

so she arrives in a flourish of exasperations,
telling me all the family business, waving her nails
in my face and talking about the pain of her extensions.
She says, "Do you think we need yellow concealer?
I plan to take pictures, and the last
The HourglassWatch the hands go round and round.
Ahhhh, how long have I been sitting here,
Listening to the grandfather clock?
Watching him ticking away?
Watching the polished wood yellow and rot?
And with every sound he makes
More maggots eat his wooden flesh.

Every grain that falls is an eternity!
In the firelight you can see the glass.
The dust that coats the cracking bulb,
Listening to the sand that trickles down.
Listening to the passing hours.
With every grain that filters through
Another man sleeps eternally.

The sundial stands defiant!
From my leather chair I see it!
It stands defiant in the plaza below me!
Standing in the moonlit night.

You were cold insideYour lips tasted of
summer, of warm days and
cherry-flavoured ice,
relaxing by the
pool side and
smiling against the sun.

You should have been too hot,
too sticky, too humid.
You should have
overheated, should have
melted into your bones until
they turned to ashes, but
it never happened.

I suppose I should have
seen it coming, but
I was so moonstruck over
the way you said my name, so
in love with the idea
of love, that I
didn't notice the way
your eyes bled
winter.
7 - The Pet PoetI remember when Mommy bought you
a black-haired pet for your sweet sixteenth.
Its bronze collar said its name was "Poet."
You fed it noise from the out-of-tune piano,
intense moments involving flesh and razors,
and the occasional walk by the lake.

At first, he knew only the wolf's howl,
purging blood and flames onto the carpets.
Everywhere was a smell of extravagance --
like that woman's cheap perfume on the train to work.
But you cried a little less,
smiled a bit more.
And that was when Daddy stopped
trying to send it back to the shelter.

Soon, you even started watching T.V.
(and enjoyed food, dressed nice, made friends.)
But T
nothing specialthey tell you not to give up
because you have potential--
and to the ones who simply enjoy
you're probably fantastic
but to those who do
you're simply mediocre,
nothing to bat an
eyelash at.

you're not quite bad enough
to quit, but you're not
great enough to be
remembered.
unrequitedyou make my words
gather at the hollows
of my throat
until i choke on them.

my fingers ache to
hold you--
but my eyes ache to
cry.

you're nothing but heart break
wrapped in a bow
of something beautiful,
like the dust of grace from
fallen angels.

i drink a little faster and
cry a little harder
because the way whiskey and tears
mingle on my lips
tastes suspiciously of love.

SeppukuA blue sky greets me as I kneel to the ground.
I hear the rushing wind and the sacred water sound.
The cold, grey stone upon my knee,
As I prepare myself for eternity.

I take a solemn look at my silent crowd,
Those cruel, dark faces scream so loud.
They want me to do the final deed.
I'll plunge the tanto in. They'll see me bleed.

I look for a while at my full rice bowl,
And prepare for the next cycle of my soul.
What shall I be? A man or god?
Shall my next life be lived in the mud and sod?

I finish quickly so we don't delay.
By now the light is fading away.
I take up the pen and start to write,
To put brush to paper is one last delight.

Equestrian StormEquestrian Storm

I was walking through Canterlot,
as rain beat my plot.
I just didn’t feel right,
before it came into my sight.

The princess of the night,
alone and broken.
What a pitiful sight,
out of my slump, twas awoken.

“Princess, why are you here why are you crying?”

“Because nopony loves our night, I would be better off dying!”

“No Luna no, now that you shouldn’t say!”

“And why ever not, what reason hath you that I should stay?”

“Celestia for one, your sister whom you love.”

“Right sure, the sister from whom to the moon I was shoved.”

No wordsI don't like to talk.
I feel that words cannot truly express what I feel.
When I am filled with emotion, I can find no word that can express what I feel to the fullest.
There is no word beautiful enough to describe this joy, no word horrible enough to describe this hate, no word ugly enough to describe this miserable existence.
a small dosage per daysorrow makes its way into my cup of tea every morning
so I add more spoonfuls of sugar into it,
hoping the sweetness will overpower the bitterness;

yet, this clever feeling still seeps through the sweet substance
and clings to the sugar's particles,
races through my veins
and scatters in my blood,

making an entire day feel ruined
already.
Right Ulna and RadiusStill I remember the day I spent
lying, green, in a hospital bed
swaddled in blankets.

The afternoon I woke,
sprawled across the classroom floor,
my words slurring and arm
swelling,
trying to pick faces out
of the black spots in my vision
and begging eyes to tell me
what had happened
where I was
who I was.

The way the
two nurses rubbed feeling back into my
ice-cold fingers
and dripped my blood into a
tube, cell by cell by cell,
for fear that my basic structure would
hit the bottom of the vacuum and
shatter.
Never open the window... Never open the window...

I see you're here.

Pay attention, don't fall. It's dark.

What? No, I don't want to light up the room. Yeah, nor open the window. It's useless.  
And actually, the only light I need...
...is that one that is so distant for me.

She asked me why I was saying that.
But best of all, I knew that actually she didn't care
I saw too much faces ready to wipe away all my tears and all my fears
But best of all, I know that actually they didn't care.

Seems like destiny put me in this world to help others.
Oh, I'm tired, but I won't show you.

The Universe
How big is the universe?
It is as big as you want it to be.
As small as the Milky Way,
Or as large as a million suns.
How big is the universe?
We'll just have to wait and see.

What is the explanation for everything?
Some say God,
And others say science.
Are we descendants of Adam and Eve,
Or have we evolved from bacteria?
What is the explanation for everything?
Well, to figure that out, we might have to leave.

What happens after death?
Is there a Heaven or a Hell?
Or is there nothing there at all?
What happens after death?
Who will be there when we fall?

He's kept me inside this brick wall
That he built in his mind.
He's dragged me down
And away from prying eyes
The wall is choking me

I wish I could free her,
But my heart won't let me.
I built this wall to keep the world out,
Yet accidentally trapped her in.
The aching pains of the heart can only serve to build up the wall...
The wall is too powerful

The need to leave him is taking over my thoughts,
Leaving nothing but longing.
Longing to see my friends
And meet other people.

Life is slowly fading away from the world
As I watch the seconds tick by.

Loved ones have already greeted Time while on their deathbed,
They were weary from his tiring schedule,
They now wanted the eternal sleep that he promises them in the beginning.
I only wish that I could join them.
But Time has trapped me in his everlasting loop,
Waiting for me to crack.
I won't,
I'll keep on living this nightmare from Hell.
I'll stay this way even until the earth crumbles away with old age.
Until the sun shrinks and expands as it dies.

A Certain Stillness

:iconinsightfulthoughts:

Water.
Inching its way across the stone steps,
And then back down to its dark depths.
All with a simple,
Small wave.
The heartbeat of the ocean.

The sun sets behind the mountains.
Leaving pale,
Cold colors to fill the empty sky.

Standing in socks and sandals,
A lone girl stares into the water.

Taking chance by the hand,
She steps in.

The water,
Tingling cold,
Crawls up her skin,
Sending shivers up her back.

With every movement,
Icy fingers grab at the vulnerable flesh of her pale legs.

   All is quiet.
   Cold turns warm.
   Ripples settle.

Contentedness wraps around her like a blanket.
In that moment,
Time stopped,
With a certain stillness.

I do, I'm so sorry about the un-updated-ness haha. I love it. I recognize this from " I am content!" See? you're the best poet I know! I quite like how the tone of the poem changed halfway, makes it more interesting and the description of water definitely held my attention.
