Pairing Up Poetry Forum Passed Pairing Ups...

This is where I put all of the writing that has been made from pairing up.

The Labyrinth Inside
The darkness keeps me warm at night,
As I submerge into the labyrinth of my mind;
The callous echo's drown out conscious thought,
while him, her, and I conspire to co-exist as one.

My thoughts are alive
They form into hideous creatures
But I adore them very much indeed
For they are like my pets.

Each twisted minion mutters in its own guttural tone;
An ancient language boring into the depths my being.
Failure, worthless, I'm the vessel in need of the crypt—
My transgressions are beyond societal redemption. 

Beyond all the racket
is a soft little voice,
Saying, “you're useful, brilliant, and wonderful.”
The voice is lost,
as I let the darkness overwhelm me
and take over my being.  

Alone, dismayed, and encased in the complexities of my psyche,
I become subdued to the ill-intent, drawing from the well of woe.
Sorrow laden and induced into a battle of will and spirit . . .
A heart blackened by whispers, pulsating in a single beat.  

I no longer can fight it.
I'm too lost in my thoughts
Just another dark soul
With my whole mind to roam. 

Navigation has become my plight in this desolate void,
Extend you skeletal hand, give me guidance. I accept. 
And maybe then, we can find away out A path that leads out of this misery.

"Extend you (your) skeletal hand
We can find away ( a way) out"

BITTER IS THE TRUTH
Bitter is the truth, but I have to accept my faith.
Bitter is the truth, but i have to make amends.
Bitter is the truth, Oh! Bitter is the truth.
Bitter were the statements I uttered in my anger.
Bitter were they, when she heard them.
Bitter it was, when she walked the street head bowed.
Bitter it was, when she was laughed at.
Oh! All these cuz of the bitter statements.
Oh! Bitter it is now, I lay sobbing thinking.
Bitter the more it became, when I realized my foolishness.
Oh! In bitterness, I'ld go with my head bowed and apologize.

Love and Roses
Seen from over the way
So close
and yet so far
from you

Seen from across the road
Heavy traffic
Look but don’t touch
No keepers

How I wonder
how you are
How, I wonder,
are you now?

How I worry
that I’ll never move on
How, I worry,
will I ever move on?

Roses
What beautiful things
They bring such colour
They bring such life

Love
What a wonderful thing
A gamble for eternal joy
or suffering

Fragile hearts
held in the hands of others
Love and a rose
lights under life’s covers

The Rain
Patter patter softly down,
soak into the hot dry ground
Like tears the clouds do softly cry,
So the plants do never die!
As the first drops land upon my skin,
Am moved, like I’ve never been!
travelling deep inside
they suddenly burst,
quenching the soul’s persistent thirst!
Respite from the scorching heat,
the eyes get a splendid treat.
Awaited by each river and every pond,
It blissfully fills them of their loss!
Let go of that umbrella
and also all the pains,
With open arms & a grateful heart,
Let’s welcome the ‘Rains’!! :) :)

Justice, Will;

Kick up the dust, make the change
Lead forth to light from suffering
Arm your disciples, rendezvous in the range
Do not cede the fight to the governing 
Rise up from oppression, effectuate destiny
Hold fast your position, strike out the enemy
Visage of aggression, soul black as ebony
Cervical incision, bring the heads of the men to me
In revolution's name do we slaughter and maim
Freedom to the winners, death to all loyalties
Encourage sedition, for the mutinous expedition
Betray your overlords, and slay all the royalty
Watch their blood drip down, on top of the crown
So futile to trust; after being kicked, stained, and covered in dust
No mercy for the slaughtered, now the future is altered
We ought to viciously rid this misery
Irreversibly omit their names from history
Let hell reign down, aftermath a mystery
It is our rule, we are of a New Age

The Road Of Life
The road of life

Her
Back then when I met her under the oak
I was no one but a regular bloke
Nothing to my name but a single smoke
To catch her attention I cracked a joke

 She smiled coyly like a naughty stranger
With that I knew my heart was in danger
I fancied myself like a texas ranger
But to her I was just a mere granger

 There was no telling what was on her mind
Logic nor reason I could never find
It was like the north south east west combined
She took my breath away and I resigned

 She was like a hurricane and a storm
Stunning to behold natures great art form
She can be selfish and yet kind and warm
As unpredictable as the bees that swarm

 She went as quickly as she had arrived
As she left, happiness I was deprived
My heart lay broken and yet I survived
With the next windstorm I will be revived

Soul Of MusicAn ocean of melancholy I nurture
 within 
My souls haunts the empty vessel
 And roams the halls akin
 Its a sin to give in
 Negatively sorrowful inside derision derrides
 Until I surreptitiously start to murmur then
 sing
 Uplifting, not to be denied but required to
 restore faith and pride.

 The Ecstasy begins to take over
 The exhilaration makes me soar
 Every second a tune hovers,
 And drives away the depression abode!

 I don't live in that place, that morose
 dwelling,
 But visit there from time to time.
 Like an abused child grown, obligated to visit
 the offending parents,
 Through guilt and habit despite tge yelling.
 But if I can open my heart, my lungs, my
 lips,
 those visit become less frequent and less
 compelling.

 My memories filled with hate
 The whip that lashed with spite
 And the words that peirced my ears and heart
 But I shall put behind my past of sin
 And let music take over my soul from within.
 I begin to hum a tune forlorn
 A relief washes all over me
 It stitches my heart that's torn
 And a reflection from above
 brightens up my soul

 If I can vocalise -
 Clear my plate of rage's debris
 and sop the remnants of dismay from my chin
 and move on,
 Not allowing decay to set in and ruin joy's
 cchances,
 Bliss enhanced. This
expression is required, this loud and
 uncontrolled free-for-all!
 Moves petulant feet to dance
 and sorrow, once brazen turns sullenly away.

 And there flies my depression and sorrow,
 away and far atlast.
 Provoking my cheerfulness,
 Riding away the brine.
 Soothing my sore life
 And granting me solace from the past.

No Turning Back

 These lines on the palm of my hand,
 Corrupted at angles
 The pattern of cracks on a barren land
 Or an artwork on the bangles?

 Past belting my thoughts toward pessimism
 Done resisting the drift, hence the rise
 to make wishes with reality an amalgam
 And ramble on the goal to self-actualize.

 Fate plucks souls from mortal forms, they go fly
 It's neither me nor you to be blamed for the crime
 So let's hear clinks, raise your glass, raise it high
 Stand back no more, nor watch Fate pantomime.

guess the feeling


 In the dreams,
 The deepest streams,
 Cold, and warm,
 In this, believe me, there's no harm
 The soundtrack here is dark
 Your hands, they hold burn marks
 Nowhere to hide,
 Get ready for a hell of a ride.
 The feeling,
 The minds thinking,
 The sensation, tingling.
 Forget all you know,
 Stay for the show,
 Regret all you fear,
 Drop a tear.
 Whit the feeling,
 Souls are singing,
 Without it, minds are shrieking.
 Guess the feeling.
