Descent

On the edge... On the winds of agony We fall in space Face to face And all turns to a nebula of stars Hearts beating another song Close your eyes and devour The memories of a time long gone Is this what it means to be alone? As darkness becomes a spectacle Breaking apart to a prism of flowers While we fall to earth Embracing each other as one.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

When I was little, it use to amaze me how colors were made. In art class I would sit and mix paint because blue and red didn't stay the same when they fell in love. Every single color found its match and danced beautifully as I swirled them together. Black and white were my favorites. I'd pour the creamy paint into a bowl and watch as black and white swirls, turned into grey swirls and owned the container holding it captive. Grey was amazing to me. Because black and white are nothing alike, and grey is in the middle. Black is dark and scary and demanding. And white is graceful, and trusting, and clean. Grey is nothing. Grey is bland. And safe

Grandma

“Is there something terribly wrong with me?” I sigh and look up from my book. In the evening light my grandmother stares back at me, utterly unaware that it’s the third time she’s asked in as many minutes. Complex maps of wrinkles frame her wide eyes, each crease charting the grief, joy and laughter of a lifetime she is slowly forgetting. I look at her and I remember the wit and spark that used to punctuate her speech. I remember the way she used to strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere; how she’d find wonder in the simplicity of everyday life. Her curiosity, her sense of adventure, her love of the worl

sepulcher

your body is jerusalem, he’ll tell you coveted first, then plundered. – you’re my backwater bedroom martyr, he’ll tell you as he nails your wrists to bedposts, seizes your tongue like a white flag, pulls stones from your parapets – little sister, i’ll tell you the children’s crusade is lost: and you’ll kneel at his sword and know you were always his to take

The Beauty of the Blank Page

Some people will see the blank page As comparable to the most dreadful curse But I see it as potential To write in my own words the perfect verse And though this is yet to happen The promise will always remain right there Like a newborn leaving the womb As they take their first breath of fresh air Some people will see the blank page As a reason or excuse to give in But every great literary work Needed a scribbled first word to begin Seeds of a thought that blossom Thoughts that bloom in to an idea The page slowly becomes your friend As the reason you’re writing becomes clear Some people will see the blank page As their familiar adve

Some Broken People

Some broken people can hurt you without thought But believe me when I say it’s not their fault With an open wound as delicious as yours It would be a shame not to rub in the salt So why do you insist on shaking that girl Do you like playing the martyr on your knees? Acting like you’re a paragon of purity Well today that purity feels ripe for disease Some broken people cry not knowing what for Have sympathy as they weren’t born with black hearts Like you and I they have grey matter in their brain But their thoughts are a great distance from dark So why do you insist on hitting that girl When she stopped feeling many blue m

I Like Being Weird

Whether I’m laughing in awkward situations Or crying when everybody else smiles I go from wanting to stay in bed forever To wanting to run directionless for miles Normality just feels like silent floorboards And is something I most definitely fear See I need to creak every once in a while You won’t understand but I like being weird Talking when everybody else is silent Being deathly quiet in a maelstrom of noise As I decide if I’ll be your friend today But I promise that you are not just a toy Normality just feels like empty nightscapes And is something I most definitely fear I need the stars to spell out my last name Do

A poem about a writer (a fictional character) who has been writing solely about the same two themes: depression and love, over and over again. The house of course, is a symbol for the writer's creative mind, which is now decaying from writing upon only those two themes.

The title came first before the poem itself. It was one of those things that latched onto my mind and wouldn't let go.

Just to clarify "the writer" is not referring to me.

Edit: So this is my second DD and I've got to say that seeing it with the DD banner really surprised me at first. Anyway thank you and thanks also to any who faved or were kind enough to leave a comment.
