(Untitled)?

Mind fucked
The moon ducked
My nighttime again
Staring in darkness
Into a vacuum
The wilderness
Of my mind
Oh my mind
Fuck my mind
It's so fucked

I don't know
Question marks why
I'm no angel
I have no wings
To reach your heaven
Whatever that may be
In your mind
But my mind
You know the story
So sad

What happened
To the Summer
To me
And the sunshine
And you
Still my sunshine
Regardless you shine
You always will
As the days
Fade away

Talk
To empty
My head
Full of trash
As ever
It used to be funny
Now it just
Fills back up
To the brim
With filth

These are ours
A beginning
Not an end
I hope
But hope is not
To believe
That would be
A lie
Lay dormant
Not dead

I was a mystery
You are my history
We'll go down
And resurface again
With moonlight
In our eyes
Air full of life
Without wings
Never forgetting
The need to fly

And here we are
Not knowing
What faces
You and me
And us
But ultimately
We know
It's not strange
How life
Can be cruel

But at least
There's tomorrow
Because there's always
A tomorrow
But what happens
When one day
The dawn
Turns cold
And black
As night

Ghosts

empty corridors

creak

under the weight

of restlessness

groaning walls

corroding

paper thin

to dust

to ashes

as ashes sweep

on the wind

it does not rest

it does not ease

my mind


a place

a time

condemned

to history

in memory

of laughter

smiles

friendship

somewhere

now nowhere

as clocks

tick

and tock

to no one


footsteps

echo

repeat

and fall flat

in shadows

of life

outlived

once loved

too much

now ghosts

are all that remain

of you

of them

and us


stained

in sufferance

disjointed

as leaves

on a tree

in the autumn

they know

their destination

it's no surprise

when they fall

why do we

have to fall

more than leaves

this hurts


limitless

but never boundless

forever

was just a word

from hollywood

for the dreamers

who dared

and offered

salvation

it wasn't true

it was just a dream

that crashed

and burned

and died


a child

once believed

and cried

because he could

he knew

no better

it was innocence

it was freedom

it was lost

or was it stolen

as we all are

and have been

just raped

by this world


and there you were

with sunshine

pouring

from your heart

the stars

chasing down

your heels

at midnight

you run

breathless

whilst i cry

because i can

and you stopped

to dry my tears


My first piece of poetry in about ten months, it's been a long time coming. I appreciate the poem may seem somewhat dark and foreboding but in reality it's a poem of friendship and love; that's the tale it's telling. I'm most definitely not in a bad mood, it's quite the opposite in fact and that's exactly where the poem is at. All the darkness that surrounds it is blown away by the last verse, blown away by the light. It's a story of the last two days - of girlfriend leaving, man it hurt so bad to say goodbye and I cried and she helped dry my tears. But it's not the end, I saw her again today and hopefully we'll see each other lots in the future too. For girlfriend, you mean so much, with love xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
