I guess you could class this as art.
All my life I've been writing poems, you could say it's in my blood because my grand father
Christopher Levenson is an award winning poet and even though I've only talked to him twice in my life he inspires me.
Stirring in a bed made to float,
a clock made to tick;
wake me up.
A car made to deliver:
without the hands of the capable;
hospitalized.
Buildings make to soar in the air,
bridges connecting pathways.
Science rules our life;
incapable.
Our laws;
unbreakable.
Yet we find ways to bipast,
future.
Our government;
unsatified in progress.
Let there be light,
let us pick ourselves up in the hands of the strong.
Show us modernity.
Between worlds, between souls
I sit alone
Pondering the patience of the universe
To see hearts broken, to see them repaired
Watching worlds turn to dust
I walk the cracks between dimensions
Always alone, always waiting
Things come ashore and into my hands
A beating heart
A broken soul
A free bound spirit
All burdened with a question
A question destined to come to those who are alone
To make us remember immortality
A question with only one answer
A question only I can answer
A question that asks what it's like to love
I answer the same way every time
Kill yourself and then you'll know
The pain that I withstand through immortality
A pain that kills me every time
Time and time again
I sit alone
I wait
I wander
And I ask myself what is love
It holds us on a balance
By tipping it, by having luck
It sets us up in way
That even a dove's feather can break us
Shattering our spirits, our souls
Breaking us apart one piece at a time
Then putting us back together
Stronger and ready to face love again
In a way we're all immortal
But no one has faced it as I have
Making me the only true immortal
I shall forever be the only one
But yet I sit and wait
Alone
I wander, watching others love
Others hate
And countries war
Never understanding what it is to love
Their only chance
To find peace of mind
So when objects wash ashore
Not understanding how lucky they were
To love
To die
My vision turns crimson
I hate life
Yet I don't live it
I watch others destroy themselves
Over drugs and cigarettes
Mostly over love
In the universe
Only the dark spots
Turn bright
And the bright, the light
Turns to crimson
The color of blood
A leaking heart, bleeding love
Love is like a poker game
And I only have an eight of clubs...
A cliff over looks the water, jagged and bare
Ready for death
Cages are opened
And sacrifices are soon to be made
Can they see thy fear, crawling in thy wake
Sharp as a stone
Cold as bone
Shearing through the kin of thy brothers
The knives of the mighty fall short
Why don't they touch the others
It's a game of some sort
We worship the forces of nature
Yet we place our survival against the ods
Give them our life
Only to please the gods
The taste of our kin
Turns us to monsters
Our flesh and blood
Ground to powders
Keeps us alive in the flood
Over the cliffs
The worlds beyond the seas
This is just a couple of whiffs
Of our cannibal tendencies.
I don't remember when I fell
Through the world, through my heart
Approaching death
Right in my soul
A beam of light, dark spirits
Flow into me
Through the puncture
Making me remember
The now eternal pain
I have lost everything
I speak of love without understanding it
Rebellion
No more peace
I don't even care
Hatred flows in my veins
Navy, crimson, dark like my soul
Poisoned heart
Madness driven mind
Chased from my home
The sky is grey
Pirds of prey circle above the clouds
Devouring light
Beauty is non existant in this world
Dark is the palette
Sin flows rivers
I approach
Just one bite...
Matin, midi, soir
Toujours la, toujours present, souriant
Miel dans ses cheveux, coulant avec la chaleur de l'amour
Yeux comme les rivièves des cieux, coulant l'espoir, la gaieté, l'amour
Ame complice et tout connaissant
Gentillesse instinctif, l'esprit qui répont a tous les difficultés du monde
La silence nous rejouis, couchant le soleil et les étoiles
L'aube qui se reveille, l'amour propre
L'amour de l'esprit avant l'amitié
Je suis toujours la, pret a tout
Une déesse sous la robe d'une mortale
Elle veille sur moi
Ne pars jamais, je suis toujours la, mon ame te suis dans le paradis
J'ai aimé une fois et une fois seule, je ne me voyais pas aimé encore
Mon amour est la pour toi, et juste pour toi
Les étoiles se reveillent maintenant
Une fleur d'amour pousse
Et je sort...
Behind the glass
The crystals wait
Broken spirit
Shattered mind
Liberate me from my cage
Show me the true meaning of the world
Pain and suffering
Holding me captive
I sit and wait
My eyes wander the sleek surface of the world
Never flying below the horizon
The hard ice surface
In it the key is held
Fragile from making but hard from time
I reach for it
Always too close
Yet always so far
I'm held away from my love
The only thing that can truly unlock me...
My mind wanders;
always back to that place.
"Hey, mum. Why did we go,
why did we leave?"
It's dark inside,
shadows cloud my thoughts.
No place to sit,
no where to stand.
In my dreams,
I'm aloud to look back.
Dark silhouettes,
beautiful in shape.
That single, one, charming laugh;
makes my hand stretch out.
But that's the end:
it's time for dawn;
to wake up.
Don't kick me out,
don't shut me in.
I do not wish to go home;
my place is here:
with you.
Forgotten
The jewels that make us human
Hidden, hidden behind a lock of hair
The key is kept in the inmost corner of my soul
To open me up all I need is love
A flower ready to bloom
Wilting in the sun
Can you not see the despair
Rescue me from my prison or I'll pass away
Throught the bars of the world and out the door
To explore the beautiful lands of our heavens
I see the rivers go by yet I cannot drink them
Inhale their sent, I am still alive
An anchor locks me to this world
And you hold the key
It's your choice whether you want to let me go or not
Find my key
Please, please let me out...
Death and murder
Saved by one and only one
Autumn leaves, falling stars
We're all saved by love one time or another
Lift from Hell but descend from Heaven
Two souls intertwine
In the mortal world...
Waking up, morning sun
Flowers dancing on the wind
Midnight shadows, hidden secrets
Friendship turns to love
Love ruins friendship
Breaking us apart
Winter days, snowflakes fall
Manic actions, hurt souls
We're not alone
It's a world of plenty
We must find love before friendship
Broken mosaic
Now repaired
We can begin the journey...
Life is held on a balance
On one side there is destruction
The other holds love
A force harder, stronger and more maleficent
Than destruction
It confines us and only lets us go once we find the perfect one
It holds the ruby gem that keeps us together through hard times
But that breaks us apart once everything is peaceful again
Just to make our life exiting
Love is always at our side, ready to destroy us once again
To survive it, all we have to do is give in
Let it take us on the wild adventure of life...
Blond hair, black soul
Black hair, bright spirit
Stormy oceans, calm seas
A puzzle to be determined
By those who care
Folding in on oneself
The world does not need
Those who hurt others
Love has been found...
The rush of wind,
yet it does not touch me:
it passes through.
Something's missing:
A piece.
A hole in my heart.
Left untreated,
will devoure my soul.
I walk away againts my will.
My mind knows this will be the death of me,
tries to turn me back.
Whatever's broken inside of me:
the gears of life.
They do not want me to return to pain.
You know what I feel,
but you're happy.
For you I'm just that thought,
that object that you kept to amuse yourself.
See me as something more,
something beautiful and brave.
A sacrifice in the wrong context.
You come to me in my final moments,
place the object that you kept:
your heart;
into mine.
Rejoice.
Bullets fall like rain
Clouds cover the sun
In the shadows death lurks
Over a bare and lonely landscape
Love is abandoned here
Hatred remains
Devouring the souls and hearts of the strongest
There is no hope for those who care
To win not even a spark of humanity must remain
In even the brightest places of the heart
We wish for something better
But once we find it
We destroy it once again
In the dark confines of the world
A grenade explodes
In a million pieces from a million souls
The world is no more
Shadows lurk even in the sun
Between the bodies, inside our souls
Humanity is a war machine
Leading first in the war games
Let it rust in the dust
Crumple into non existance
Have the hatred and suffering leave our souls
Give way to the heart
Show the true spirit of the world
Societies that love and trust
Let us follow their examples
Instead of destroying ourselves
Have the veil be removed
May the sun come out and save us...
Waking dawn, love that burns
A soul that dances on the wind
The love of others before herself
A broken heart, a two-time crush
A goddess hidden behind, one that cares, one that feels
Honey streams through her hair, eyes like oceans, eyes like seas, full of pain but full of hope
We've lived through everything yet nothing at all
It takes time to get past the fall
A voice like bells, a voice like chimes
Delicate hands, hard from work
Keeping secrets, some that hurt
I wait in the heavens but I should be in hell
Sometimes I wonder when I fell, hell hurts but heavens agony
Then you appeared, full of sorrow, full of hope
You broke the walls, made me hope, made me cry
Sometimes I wonder why...
I'm stuck in the earth
I grow
Yet I never know what it's like to love
Born from the soil
However I feel hate
Towards the spirits of the world
At night I hear their whispers through the forest
I curl up in a ball
I wait for it to pass
Let them torment the others
I'm different
Love exists in my mind
It's like a spark
But once I get close to it
It runs away
Always out of reach
I whimper
And then I start to hate it
I run away from love
Now it chases me
Darkness clouds my thoughts
Wishes, dreams
I despise it all
My roots get longer
I see that others do not wish
Do not dream
So I've decided to follow the raven
Let it lead me to a better place
It nests in my branches
And for the first time in my life
I feel neutrality...
I have many more...
Don't feel afraid to tell me what you think, I'd love to know!
I'll be adding more to this list later on once I'm satisfied, I'm still starting and I believe I'll get better as I go along.
