They danced
much longer than crewfew
Learning the light
So the plain things
Are plain to see.
Rotting wildflowers.
Rage and passion blend into a bleeding sunset.
Goodbyes that sound like
Death toll.
The beat of a drum
Right on que.
Somebody new.
Not trying to get burned before
The cold sets in.
I reached my hand out in the dark.
You handed me a knife.
You watched while I cut ...
Screaming
Beaming into hell
Hoping for the bell
Ringing in your head
Pain putting you to bed.
Your brain,
Malfunctioning,
Disinfecting.
Screaming and burning.
It’s all their fault,
That’s what you believe.
Are you right
Or have you already lost the fight ?
Are you good
Or are you not better
Have you even done some good ?
It’s screaming,
Tearing.
Fucking burning your head.
Shaking you awake....
Fire started inside
Growing stronger, sparking
Passing through the hallway
Trying to breathe
But oxygen fuels fire
And it grows,
Spreading
Encompassing my insides
I can’t breathe
I can’t do this.
I can’t do this.
Engulfing my stomach
Inside out
I can’t.
Breath comes short
Thoughts run quick
Fire burns...
Working to survive,
Looks like easy but it’s not.
Dive into the pace of work,
Got familiar with it;
For sure it’s tired,
along with bored routine.
Rest at work time,
Violated the rules,
Feel my heart burning,
Nervous and Anxious,
Inner world with huge fire.
Even it’s settled down,
Feeling is not the same…...
Cautiously watching you from afar,
Fearful of the blaze you might ignite.
The closer I approach, the more I feel the burn,
You only thrive through the warmth others provide.
So I keep my distance,
Everything you touch turns to ash.
But you never see it as your fault,
You claim it's never your blaze, never your blaze.
You blame the world,
You blame your past,
You need the symp...
I’ll still be here,
While I’m alone and unstable.
But I’ll still be here,
Even as the world burns around me.
I won’t collapse,
While I’m broken and afraid.
But I won’t collapse,
Even as the world burns around me.
I’ll survive,
While I’m hurt and betrayed.
But I’ll survive,
Even as the world burns around me.
I’ll still be here.
I won’t collapse.
I’ll survive.
Even as the world burns around me.
...
In the heart of night, a flicker ignites,
A dance of shadows, a tapestry of light.
Crimson tongues lick the velvet sky,
Whispering secrets, letting spirits fly.
From ancient hearths to the dawn of time,
Fire has been our muse, our silent rhyme.
It warms the soul, yet can sear the flesh,
A paradox of comfort and a threat afresh.
In the eyes of lovers, a fervent blaze,
Passions consuming in a ferv...
Grief for me is a flame inside of my body that never truly goes out
There are times where it goes dim
But it always comes back full force
A memory comes flashing in my head and all of a sudden that memory becomes gasoline and that small flame becomes a house fire
Out of control
Destroying _everything _it_ _touches_ _
It becomes all you can see
All you can feel
This heat inside of your body...
The world is on fire
and we are holding the matches.
engulfed in flames
the houses on the hill
burning the dolls we used to play with
their eyes melting in the heat.
walls of fire surronded the forest.
lungs filling with smoke
They’re crying
They’re crying
They’re dying
They’re dying
Can’t you hear their screams at night?
You laugh and laugh
but your smiles
are built on their heads. ...
Everything around me goes up in flames.
Yet I can't take my eyes off of you.
You stand there, match in hand.
Gaze locked on my own.
The shadows dance across my face.
The darkness engulfs yours.
As the building crumbles around me,
All i can think about is you.
(i don't like this one but i have writers block a little and needed to keep a writing streak. i've also been busy asl all day lol)...

POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)
