O, how fair are thee!

I’m wanting with words

I am struck!

Stricken with awe for love of a girl

O’ Apple of my eye,

mother of pearls!

I have passed though straits and deserts

And ever emerged

and seen a vast arrangement

of treacherous storms

But the eyes of thine are greater

In physics and form

They say the pen is greater

in might than than the sword

but explosions speak within you

and light up the world

--------------

…Like the chants that the seraphim chime

For beauty and grace is with you

And your song is sublime

I have learned to trot with the wolves

but for a time

but to dance with nymphs is greater

and even divine

…Does the wind not blow where it winds?

Yet it is said

the south wind will arise when it shines

And thus shall it be done

Yet, in its time

When the morning star arises

The king will be thine

----------------

Your kiss is the fruit of the vine

O fill me with wine!

And sweet thoughts

That will christen with time

For thus shall I show you my mind

If you show me thine

Just give me a sign

And you will be mine

------

In darkness the Seraphim gaze

For with all the world of colors in you

did cavalry paint

Like feigning eagles locked

and trapped in a daze

May we faint in dark abyss

Alas for a day

-------

I pray’thee daughter of God

Favoured of maids

…To pour a draught of love

or else I shall faint

Into night like the source of the rays

…like i had a dream about you

On the birth of my days

-------

I searched for the words to speak

…I was at a loss

In great depths of ferv’r and heat

O one who is so complete

The beautiful depths of thee are a word
they e’er shall speak!

Haikus 5/7/5:

The mind gets unwell

Medicine can help get well

Take it daily, bro.

That’s one form.. the shortest.. there’s longer ones.

Your poem is amazing. Really wasted on a general audience how good it is… needs to go to someone imo.

Oooh. Yay. Poetry! Hopefully more people post their pieces here. This is a piece about a voice:

You batter and bruise me incubus

With your relentless barrage of mindgames

You took away my sanity

With your relentless assault

Babies. Babies. Babies.

All you want to talk about is babies.

Yet our biology does not align

What do you really seek

Blind obedience?

The demon seeks I blindly comply?

Go back to the depths of Hell

Writing upon writing

Scattered and Laid about

All in the hopes of finding a seam of sanity

A moment of clarity

I summon Athena

But alas she does not speak

She remains trapped

In the Game of Gods

We are both captive

A hook

A cackle

A tired moan

A solution delivered to a problem you created

Lies you dismiss with laughter

Empty promises from a demon

I will not have your stupid babies

Hours we spend talking

Prey to Predator

Predator to Prey

Victim to Abuser

Abuser to Victim

But what are words when my reality is delusion

You chose your victim

And you victim lays across you

Indifferent, tired and numb

And you whisper another lie

It tastes like poison

And I cry

Because as though you pursue like i have freedom

I do not

Babies, Babies, Babies

You seek babies

Then find someone of suitable biology

To my partner :revolving_hearts::heart_eyes::green_heart::cherry_blossom:

I see you ,

I see you like in my mirror

You are me and I am you

Because I simply love you.

I waited for you 100 years

In solitude

And now, here you are.

Hello, nice to meet you!

I always dreamt that you are as poetic as me.

And so are you .

Beautiful you !

What if we would teach the world :globe_showing_europe_africa: what true love is.

Like for real , this rare thing of ours.

I know there are many people who do it

But we are special

We are something apart.

So what do you say darling?

Will we ?

Or will we not ?

My women archetype :rose::innocent::green_heart:

Sometimes they say I run with the wolves

Other times I am a saint.

I sin in all my inners,

Because I love,

Firstly as a lover, and then a wife

And then a mum,

A daughter and a sister.

I pray my genuine prayer

As I am turning into a witch :mage:

I am not afraid of darkness

Thought it I become what I became.

In my mums wounds I got the magic :sparkles: spark

I’ll never be boring, nor lost, nor found.

My guardian angels come down from Heaven,

To tame my wild soul, my archetype

They can, they can’t

A mystery that be,

For in the world :globe_showing_europe_africa:, this Universe

I am a women archetype.

Oh poetry humor me with the truth

for does the truth have any humor

Oh truth humiliate me with laughter because I am not funny

For the humor of the truth since my first recollections of my youth laughed me into isolation and degradations. Like sorcery from a source that that was resourcefully and truthfully humiliating me.

For the truth has no humor so I suffer in my laughter of deception.

Laughter lying to me as the truth is denying me the opportunity of life.

Oh poetry humor me with reality as my individuality participates with a delusion of confusion. Where I am laughed at for it is impossible for me to be funny.

Oh truth you killed the source of my humor. So I will die a humorless humiliated human.

Oh truth what is the source of your laughter.

Oh truth my life is a disaster with no sense of humor.

So the truth has no jokes. And my life has no truth. I will carry on suffering from my laughter and die deliriously because no one took me seriously.
