Miraquill
Focusing on anything lately has been such a chore. I drink cold coffee, grit my teeth and attempt to mine diamonds from the pressure. My eyes burn from the ashes of time lost. It's hard to stay on track when the shadows lurk just beyond the lanterns glow. Hands calloused from holding on too tightly, but we are all connected by threads invisible to our sight.
We shovel the muck and pick at the shiny possibilities that hold our attention. Sometimes we miss the gold in the cracks and reach for the glimmer of pain instead. There is beauty in pain after all. With every new fracture, we mend and grow stronger, or so I've heard. It has filled my vessel to the point of overflowing in the past, and it held me there in the darkness. Comfortable and despite my gasps, the toxicity was welcoming.
We have come to love it, I think. We lose ourselves in the tunnels of someone else's stories for a while and by the time we begin to realize we are deeply rooted and in danger, the way back is forgotten and the flame in the light is all but extinguished. There is no savior in these moments except our own minds.
I've been in those terrible caverns before. Screaming for the canary to lead someone to me, but there was no air to breathe. I crawled in the center of the world forever it seemed.
Suddenly a hand reached out and offered me a way out. A thread, a light, a home, a beautiful life. One where I didn't need to forge new roads or pull diamonds from my ears to pay for such luxury. Just the beating of my heart and a gentle touch. Who knew there was such incredible energy in real love and in my cold cup of coffee...

What are you?
You're a poem,
and one day, i will write you too;
i'll bleed you out
on the blank pages of my past
i'll read them aloud
till forever they last.
I'll remember you
Like the abandoned lines
Of a forgotten verse.

There is something in you
Something that makes me wana talk to you
Maybe its your voice,
That i can't stop listening too
Maybe its the way you talk,
That Makes me start conversations with you
Maybe its your cute face ,
That makes me stare at you
Maybe its random things you do ,
That shows me there's a child in you
Maybe you just a funny person
That made me write about you

Lonely
Do you ever sit alone,
thinking of everyone's feeling
but your own,
Do you wonder if the stars comes up
at night so the moon doesn't feel
Alone

The green iris
Those dilated pupils
Shadow over the sclera
Of those long eye lashes
The first glance
Didn't just get to my eyes
But to my heart which was racing
And my stomach with dragonflies
The enticement and titilation
They got me
And now they get me everyday
Waking up next to her Junoesque form

Epiphany
Inside screaming out loud for help from self, Looking for just that one reason to stay,
Nothing seems to give that speck of reassurance, Incorrect to think that bonds last forever but then after all not all things end well.

Coffee consumed
I'm still in my pajamas
Watched a Stephen King movie
An action murder drama
I keep glancing at my computer
A master of procrastination
Maybe another movie first
And another cup that's caffeinated
It's already a beautiful day out
The sky is blue and the sun is high
I just can't bring myself to focus
And there's not any good reason why
I could take a drive out of town
But gas prices are insane
A good book perhaps?
But I start one then put it away
The bank account is suffering
Despite the fact I work to live
Living to work...
I don't have much left to give
I don't mean to be sad
Or to bring anyone down
It's just been a bit rough here
With all of these possibilities to be found
Love has kept me going
And yes, there's a bit of hope left too
Ignore the pain and ride on
There are worse things I've gotten through
So I'll light the way
Look for the glow
There's no canary in this mine
All my cracks are filled with gold

7:24 a.m. and my heart is beating out of my chest
I'm trying to find my purpose in life and I can't give my mind a rest.
There's always this pressure building up inside of me, I don't know how long I can go until it seeps all out if me.

They touched each other briefly
And then surrendered to their faith
Drifting apart into the endless haze
She was cool, calm as fresh snow
Hiding her scars underneath the glow
He was burning, ablaze
Volatile, stare like death gaze
She was barely sizeable
But when they kissed
It was enough for the whole world to go dark.

Read MoreLove slips through our hands like sand and slides through like the blood in our veins.
Hearts carry blood, liquid love.
Ours to hold not to keep.
Feel, pass, release.
Arbitrary world of actions, my choice and everyone else’s. It feels lonely.
I desire to linger in the feel of the “pass” ; swift anticipation of what will happen next. It’s all the same. I’ll get high in the motion and feel dull in the stillness. Im a weak heart beat praying for the AED. The motion brings me alive.
Then I am in time for everything in this present that is always mine.

I am a pet in a cage and I am my own keeper.
Captive and captor. What will we do when we want to be free? Who is student and who is teacher? Where will I go when someone opens the gate? Why does it take this long to get out of the cycle of pain? If it is important for us to feel love, why don’t you shine light on the easy way out?

Rain on the highway
Turning to snow
Got the volume up
Off key singing to the radio
Heater on full
But I leave the window cracked
Gotta inhale that sweet mountain air
There's no turning back
Riding the inclines and curves
Slush hiding the dividing lines
Headlights on and I'm happy
Gotta believe everything will work out fine
Trying to lift my mood
Despite the dreary weather
I kinda dig it though
Soul dancing, light as a feather
Work will be done soon
And I can feel the temperature drop
Large snowflakes falling
I hope they never stop
Feeling that smile lurking
Underneath my tired eyes
Someday we'll all get some peace
But for now I'll just drive

You speak of love like it's not a crime
to fall endlessly in love with faces meant to be forgotten.

Read MoreDrinking all alone
Sipping to the bones,
Looking at my phone,
But ain't no one
To call me home
Ain't no one to hold me close,
No one who feel my loss,
No one to kiss my scars,
No one to call my own..
None to call my own,
So stfu Lemme drink in silence !
All I need is some love n' Peace,
But God bet against my Bid !
I see death of my maker in dreams
So let me burn my eyelids !
I put all my blames on me 'cuz
I Own What I did !

#poem #poet #author #bibiophile #mirakeeworld #writersnetwork #books #read #wordsmithSoul searching, heart thumping,
The nail biting I,
Smell the scent of vanilla,
Floating awry,
To seek a little bliss,
A hit and a miss,
Takes a lot to just survive.
Keep a straight course,
No left, no right,
There is a war behind,
But its not my fight,
Toil in the gravel,
'tis a long travel,
The destination, still not within my sight.
My way of penance,
Is to just be fine,
Be it a smile,
Or a straightened spine,
Clueless with the destination,
Yet no hesitation,
To look for something that's truly mine.
