little boy in a broken world

Feb 21, 2010, 5:59:22 PM by ~Sora-Seraph
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

little boy,
one day you will unstitch yourself from that outgrown shadow
and find that your hands are no longer too small
to grasp at the clouds.
my love,
one day you will spread your new-fledged wings
and fly away from me
into the arms of your lover

but sweet, i won't mind -
i wish you sunbeam smiles
and butterfly kisses
and hope that your name is now your own.
i hope that you fit like a jigsaw
into the curve of his arms, love,
and that when you come together
you bring the broken world with you.

wednesday my mother told me you had cancer on the drive home from the farmer's market, the car full of livingbutdead plants we will gnaw before they show decay. i thought of bursting blooms, sliced short at the root; nubby heads of lettuce curling brown at the ends, not so much dying as already dead. chlorophyll pulsing like blood. the tourniquet of our teeth.

i thought, vegetarianism is cannibalism. i hated myself. i thought, our lives are palettes, splashed with sadness. can't scrub this tragedy away. i thought, my god, i don't own a black dress.

wistful valentine - be mine by ~Sora-Seraph

1 Comment

valentine be mine? and i waited on the front steps -
under doily-lace shadows
interlocking and meshing on my skin -
for the apologies stumbling from your lips
for the cherry blossoms drifting into our hair
for the sorrys, for the tears, for the meshing
of our smiles
for the interlocking
of our limbs

the leaves fell

i waited

the shadows blew apart

i waited

the cherry blossoms drifted and

withered

and i waited

wistful valentine,
i can wait no morevalentine be mine? by ~Sora-Seraph

Dystopia I.
Leaves burn to cinders
To sate an addiction—
Ashes to be flicked off a cylinder,
Then to fall to the ground and be blown away
By a whimsical wind.

Who would weep for the tobacco leaves?
They who are birthed in a flourish of green to flower and seed,
Torn off, desiccated, and packed in the pulp of trees,
Then consumed in the flames of avarice…
Let them take the airs away.

Do not forget,
They are of the Nightshade!

II.
The collies have grown complacent
Their shepherd has gone to fat
His crook lost ages ago...
They play with the sheep,
But lead them nowhere.

They bark and snarl and nip at the heels,
And never alDystopia by *slyfry

Wedding Vows -Love Poetry -Wedding Poetry by ~CliveBlake

Tomb World buy the war bonds to my body
buy tickets to the air raid of my soul
trenches on my wrists
fight the somme across my stomach
machine gun pock marks
bombs, my flesh shakes

no land,
only lines to cross
and three miles of blood and barbed wire marshes

protect the soldiers
but there are no defenses
the western front is failing

TO ARMS!

shells that are empty
(I am empty)

the skies
(my eyes)
lighting up with flares
there's only smoke left
up there
(clouds my mind)

we left our masks behind and now we'll all go blind

packed in here, piled in
like cattle
like corpses

where is the axis?
we've been in here three days.

I must be

You might think that
you want to be different yourself
but

you do not.

You want to be special.

I'm not special.

Everyone wants to be special
although
not so special
that

they're different.

iv.

Some girls
want to seduce me.

because I'm different.

I don't mind, but
I've never really liked those girls.

I don't really like girls at all.

I like sex though, so..
I let them.

Even though
some will fall

want to beat me up

show me my

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Thank you for the fave, it is much appreciated.

Listen to the words in the passing reverie,
They sound like notes sung without refrain;
Not to be caged in misleading memory,
They evaporate like puddles after the rain.
