I'm really getting into your verses, kc, i know where you're coming from.. funny how the first one of yours I read is about madness, the same thing I'm focusing on right now. This one tho, Tonight, gave me shivers as I related to you.. cool.. although I sense a lot of deep sadness in your work.. or at least what I've read so far.. you've definitely got talent, and I'll be reading more and commenting more on this thread too.. thanks for sharing it.. flowerforyou

Tonight

sitting alone at my piano
trying to finish this song
but there’s no melody
to the words i can’t see
what am doing so wrongflowerforyou

my fingers trip on the keys now,
and all i can think of is you
the words are hidden somewhere-
in the pain and despair
behind a window that hasn’t a view:heart:

and tonight i’m gonna be lonely
oh tonight i’m gonna be scared
when I wake-
i’ll be the only - survivor
in a world that’s no longer there:heart:

with a heart that’s seen its share of sadness
and a million stories to tell
i need something to halt all this madness
`cause alone- i’m not doing so well:heart:

i’m getting good at the art of deception
lie to myself to get through
only a few more hours to go now
just to make it-
one more night without you:heart:

tonight i’m gonna be lonely
yeah tonight it’s gonna be cold
at night time passes so slowly
but it has no problem making me old:heart:

tonight is gonna be lonely
tonight is gonna be sad
tonight i’ll feed off of memories
tonight that’s all that i have:heart:

Cough Drops and Lightning


there’s a poison in you,
in us;
even if you always do taste
like cough drops.

it’s much easier for
punch-drunk lovers
and one night
pass me bys;
harder still,
for people like us.

the addicted ones.

i can’t be easy to love
i know this,

but your body warms me like
summer thunder
and mine comforts you like
a tourniquet.
(love/storm)
throbbing lightning
in a bottle.

go ahead
leave
before I do.
go ahead
scream,
loud,
in a voice only
ex-lovers can
understand.

I’ll find you tomorrow
where music and
silence meet.
where we will kiss
hard
and with a thunderous
passion
of colliding Gods
falling to earth

and we’ll laugh
loud,
as we read this note.
knowing that
in these words,
here,
we will find nothing
more
than the dried chips
of ink
falling from
the wrinkled pages
of yesterday.

Awkward Pause

Oh, god
Why did I say that
Why
When will I ever learn
to just
keep my mouth
shut

This awkward feeling between
hush and possible rejection
Between breathing and
suffocation
Anticipation
Desperation
Expectation
Hopefulness
It all comes to a head...
Here and now
in the shadow of my exposure

In the midst of this
stifling quiet
The little specs of
yellow
in your eyes are
burning me
Like the magnified sun
of a seemingly innocent childhood
experiment with an ant hill and a piece of glass
but, the though was launched
its sink or swim
do or die
somebody please kill me...
Before these knots in my stomach turn me inside out

This, this,
This, transference of power...
This, leap from the safety of
my self contained
hid-a-way
whose walls
only yesterday
were thought to be
impenetrable
Now to be standing here engulfed by
this uncomfortable
loss of poise
At the mercy of
another soul
searching for the end of loneliness
Is it my sanctuary
you seek
my heart where you will find
comfort
or does it cease today
because i spoke out of turn
Put my body naked
in the middle of a
most desolate tract
Stand unprotected in
the sandstorm of your
silence

Say something,
anything...

A thick sense of desperation creeps off of this like a gasoline trail. If it isn't sincere then I'm amazed at your empathy. If it is sincere, I'm astounded by your talent at capturing moments.

"The little specs of
yellow
in your eyes are
burning me
Like the magnified sun
of a seemingly innocent childhood
experiment with an ant hill and a piece of glass
but, the though was launched
its sink or swim
do or die
somebody please kill me...
Before these knots in my stomach turn me inside out "

Cheers to that.

Or as others have done;
I could use the gentle, flowing river,
a serene meadow,
the vast stars or the common flower
and these would suffice,
for most...

But not for you

You are a rarity
and my love for you
is more deserving than a cliché.
More complex than I can explain...

So yes, I should learn to writeflowerforyou

Hi again, kc.. I'm looking thru older posts and found this under your profile.. I really like how you describe the power a muse has over its writer to create... but then i think of the complex emotions that can rise up to strangle expression if and when feelings are so intense the parallel words are trapped inside.. do you understand my meaning? does this ever happen to you.. or am I just too emotionally stunted?

With you as my muse
My inspiration, my tablet
Words; to give you sight
Rhyme; to lend credence to my phrase
Entire books devoted to you,
to love...:heart:

Kisses would fall in perfect cadence
Touch will liquefy resistance,
as passion ignites in you
that, which has forever burned in me...
My love for you.:heart:

A longing deeply rooted
in the sedimentary rock
of my foundation, my soul.:heart:

Only then will I become whole
Only then will I realize life’s worth flowerforyou

Track Star

Go ahead and turn your back on all you have ever known
run, run as fast as you can
for as long as you can
run from the past
run from your mistakes
run from you
run from me
you will see…
when you tire and need to rest
the past will sit next to you
and wait till it’s time to go again
so do what you do best
strap on those shoes
and run, run as fast as you can
for as long as you can
run from the truth
run from the pain
run from your life
run from the struggles
when you get to the place
you think you need to be
it will all be waiting for you
everything you chose to flee
everything, everything
except for me


kc07

another one of life's mysteries.. how it is that we all believe at one time or other we can leave our lives behind us if we can just run fast enough.. yet, like you pointed out, you were left behind... so our race to destiny is only tempered by what or who we take with us to get there..

kc... I see in a lot of your writings that you refer to a past love relationship and I feel an overriding sense of sadness for your loss. Not knowing anything about you, I just want to say that I hope you have someone in your life now that uplifts your spirits so that you have found joy again... my best wishes for you.. flowerforyou

They Like It When I Bleed


everyone wants a poem
exes want love letters
written in blood
lovers want to be made to feel special
friends need to know if I think of them
as more
it’s ironic really, because none of mine
have ever made a bit of difference

that one still left
this one never came back
her, she didn’t even acknowledge hers (or me)
my wrist pours out
soaking the pages
with deep cherry sincerity,
arterial-letting openness,
but it’s never enough
is it?

no, I lost her
because she thought they were all
about her
I gained the wrong one
by allowing her to believe a certain one
was about her

sometimes they mean nothing,
but oh how dangerous that can be
sometimes they mean everything
and pass by without
a ripple
and still they ask...

I don’t have the heart to tell them
most often, you don’t get to
choose the poem
most often
it’s the poem
that does
the choosing

"ZPicante...
First let me thank you for the time invested

I really do appreciate it when people not only read but, respond to my post.
It took a lot for me to put this out there for the world to see so, I welcome
all replies favorable or otherwise.

Your honesty and frankness are appreciated as well. The advise you have
given will not fall on deaf ears. Though I do not consider myself a polished
writer or even a good poet, it would be immature not to listen when others speak
their minds. After all, that is what I ask when I post my thoughts.

Thank you for talking the time. I look forward to more discussion. "

DANG Pard !
All that talent and HUMBLE TOO !
I am really enjoying this thread
You have a lot of talent
It takes me time to read through these bigger threads but i will enjoy every minute...
Thank you my brother of the pen
Good stuff !
