Fruitful DecayIn a long-forgotten grove

Where the fruits of folly grow free,

Flowing with the juices of lust

And self-indulgent vanity.

The trunks are crimson-stain'd

By bloodshed of wars gone past

That left the kingdoms desolate

At the hands of relentless wrath.

Twisted by ambition and greed

Their arrogant wills bore envy's seed

And when their plots finally flowered

They were consumed in those final hours

And as the nations fell to ruin,

The heavens too began to rot away;

Leaves descend onto the forsaken world,

Trapped in the birthplace of moral decay.

God's Gift"I'm disappointed in you two." he stuttered. He sat in a spinning stool behind a wood and worn desk. In front of him sat two girls on a blue sofa. One gazed into her own lap, the other stared down the man. The braver of the two scowled, oblivious to the fact that she was acting impolite to a priest.
"Why? It's not like we're sleeping with each-other." she spat, and the other girl covered her own mouth.
"Please be careful, I-I don't want to get in trouble..." she whispered, and the other girl turned to her with a look of concern.
"We've done nothing wrong. Don't worry." she rubbed the girl's back, dagger eyes focused on the man. He coughed

Hell Walk BluesWe spit on the tracks.
We done so many so wrong
And now there ain't no train
that'll board us. We goin to hell.
And we walkin there.

My wife, you call
this life-o-mine
"The Other Woman,"
Yeah, my poetry got
that name too.

Now the skies lookin like
Mama's psoriasis- Dry, red,
and as incurable as the same.
Incurable like today.
Incurable like god-damned yesterday.

We goin to hell and we walkin there.
So darlin grit them teeth and love me.
Don't make me go there broken-hearted.
It's a long damn walk already.

better than any high.we're meant to grow stronger coming out of moments of weakness.
but if so,
something's got to be wrong here -
i must not be out.

i find your face in crowds without even looking.
then i blink,
and once again,
you're gone.

i'm anchored down into the past -
you, the key.

it wasn't perfect,
you were not perfect,
but nobody's faults have been any less irrelevant than yours.

you told me i deserved better but -
and out of no lack of self-respect -
what if i don't want it, because
what if i already had it?

you were someone who was worth the risk and,
for a while (and in that while we were bound like no other could),
you saw the

Panda EyesPanda Eyes

Remember when we used to stay up all night?
Laying after loving, holding me tight.
We'd smoke until we were ash.
Drinking 2020 from a flask.
Kiss so long we'd get caught in the rain.
Lied to our parents about the grass stains.
Said you'd take me on tour with your band,
Sharing our life and making big plans.

But you're star began fading,
I tried to help, but,
Your body was determined.
So all we did was cry,
You laughed it off and called me 'panda eyes',
You were such a special guy.

Why do the great always die first?
Did they make a deal with the devil?
Too much for their mortal frame, is talent a curse?
(I'd strike

A Future FamilyAs we talked about our future home
And how we would raise our children
This calm, peaceful, feeling spread over

I will be marrying the love of my life
I will start a family with her
And I could not ask for more

Forget About HerAnother day without you is just another day alone
I remember the day you left so clearly
As you told me how that mark got on your neck over the phone
Torn apart and left alive, barely.
A year has past and i'm left only a friend to you
Watching as your life continues to move on happily with him
I try so hard to make you notice my love is still true
Yet he is the only one in your eyes, and i am to you forever dim
I grab you one day and pull you close to me
Embracing you softly and griping your back
I want to pull closer and move forward towards your lips
Yet bravery and guts is something i always have lacked
You are the girl i will never forget
The only person i have ever really loved
A fire is burning within that you have lit
But all i can do is sit and look above
I guess love like this never has a happy end
Or maybe it does but i am an unlucky girl
Maybe one day God will descend
And take me away to forget about her
-Forget About Her

Evil AngelEvil Angel

Don't come near me
That's what she said
Tears in her eyes
Lump in her throat
I don't want to hurt you
She said
Curled into a ball on the bed
Moonlight pouring in the window
Soaking her brown curly hair
Coloring her smooth skin a milky white
Let me help you
I said
Taking her hand I pull her close to me
Wrapping my arms around her shaking frame
She cries in to my chest
Hands clutching at the shirt on my back
She didn't want to let me go
I love you
I said
I love you too
She said
I warned you
She thinks
She cries harder
Black wings I hadn't seen
Suddenly wrap around me
I can only see her face now
Her hand

Hush NowHush now babe
It's all ok
Don't you cry
It's the only way.

Hush now child
Let darkness rule
The time has come
It's sleep for you.

Hush now beauty
Close your eyes
When you wake
I'll be by your side.

Hush now darling
Be assured
A million Angels
Wait for you.

Broken SoulShe sits in bed late at night
Next to him while he sleeps
Wondering if she made the right choice
Heart aching
Soul empty
She feels like a hollow shell of who she used to be,
As her mind races,
She remembers HER touch,
HER kiss,
HER smell,
The way it felt to kiss HER,
When she was with HER
She felt a love so strong nothing could destroy it,
When their lips met
Their hearts would both stop,
Tears filling her eyes
As she cries herself to sleep
Just like ever other night...

AbsenceAbsence

You're not here,
a smile can not reach you anymore
and I feel like a puzzle piece that lost his puzzle

You're not here,
you are far away of my apprehensive and gentle touch
and I feel as if delicate hands had dug a black hole in my chest
I feel as if the stars were seeping through it

You're not here,
you no longer can hear my sweet and sincere words
and I feel as if my heart had been muted

You're not here,
so I feel unnecessary

CrashingOne of these days
my last breath will be
                  Stolen
From me

Not gently exhaled,
But       held tightly in my chest
Braced against the impact
                       that rips through me.

                    A painful gasp

Colorblind loveShe walks with her head up. A small smile on her face as she walks through the door with rainbows and glitter covering her form. Her walls are down her masks broke. Her joy comes to a dead halt. They break her down. Blood spatters the walls. She cant break away from those chains. They tear her limb from limb leaving her colorblind. Leaving her not knowing herself. Who is she? She crawls back into the closet. Builds her walls back up. Returns her broken mask to its original form. She walks in line told were to go what to do who to love. Who is she? A clone? Her own being? A form of nothingness blinded by words blinded by pain blinded by a worl

HonestyTo anyone who wants to claim that 'reparative' therapy (to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals) should be legal for minors: at least be honest about what you support.

Systematically dehumanizing patients by telling them that they are dirty, broken, and shameful. Verbal abuse is a central part of the therapy.

Isolating patients from their friends and family and removing any methods of contact like phones and computers. Only approved people are allowed to be contacted at all. Phone calls are often monitered by therapists, violating any hope of privacy. Letters are read before being sent and, if the counselor does not approve of the cont

RainbowsIs it because I held hands without flinching
Or because I can't be the same,
That gives them the nerve to judge me
Without even knowing my name?

The devil isn't when you love someone
Despite the fact you both wear skirts
The devil is when a person hates someone
It's only a sin when it truly hurts

Listen to me hard, and take it in
You are not in the wrong when you hear
A bigoted heart say your love's a sin
That heart is frozen by an ignorant fear

If blue were simply the color blue
And a red rose can't be white
If I'm not supposed to be with you
Because somebody says it's not right
Then rainbows are colossal fuck ups

ForbiddenWe will stand together
As we lay down our lives
In life our love forbidden our relationship condemned
We could not stay together
But in death we shall eternally be with one another
There sharn't be any fight
As in life, your beauty shines bright
As you take me away, from this life
Be this heaven or hell
As long as I am by your side, it is haven to me
So we will lay down our lives
For one another
For love

MyselfI wish I could have saved myself
I watched myself change
Thinking it was better to fake a smile
Lie to the ones that I love
Act like I was strong
Then let them know I was scared
That there was something wrong
Know I'm empty
The happiness left my body

I really like this. It's simple and unique and eye catching all at the same time xD I don't like poems that are trying to be too 'artistic'. Normally the better ones are the ones that are artistic JUST because they're unique and well thought out and structured. They're far more emotive to read then ones with fancy grammar in them. Just my opinion aha.

One question: am I right in saying that the message in this is what homophobia can do to relationships between parents and their children? Is the child upset because she wants her parents to accept her love, whether it be with a boy OR a girl?

It was good but the ending came a bit abrupt. I would have liked a bit more of the mummy mummy going on.
