Blanket of whiteCover me softly
blanket of white
hide me from above
so they will not see
what the world
has done to me

so they can ignore
their fault in this
let them look away
afraid for what is
underneath my blanket
of untouched white

let them wonder
what they have done
to the thing
now covered
under a blanket
oh so very white

+::Beholder::+

Each bubble seeps through my mouth
as they lift themselves
breaking free of binding air.
I am sinking deeper
into the shadow of the sea.
Eyes half alive, as they
lift themselves towards untouchable sky.
Glistening light touches once more
and dances on the water.
Beams of the sun wander through,
but I can not reach their abundant light.
This invisible anchor weighs
down on my soul restlessly.
I am lost...
hope has vanished...
faith whispers quietly, softly...
Suddenly an awakening touch
grabs hold of my hand.
Light becomes grander, my soul
lifts towards the surface.
I feel a gust of air,
I breathe in heavily.
Looking u

I Can TryI can listen to everything you have to say
And try my best to make you feel better
Make the difficult times easier for you

I can hold you close and make everything else disappear
Let you take out your anger and frustration
Promise not to go anywhere

I can tell you I won't leave you when things start to fall apart
But that doesn't mean you would do the same
When things start to get hard

I can love you with all of my heart
Miss you so much it hurts to breathe
But that won't make you come back
Make you want to be with me

I can try to convince myself that there's someone else out there for me
That you don't still own my heart

Monster inside my headI have a monster in my head
and it wants to come out
You've fed it, it has grown
from your actions did it sprout

I try to hold it back
but it's so utterly mad
I can't hold it back
it's the worst I've had

Stronger and stronger
It breaks apart my walls
I can't hold it back
My final barrier falls

It fights, it kicks
it bites, now you fall
You've had it coming
for yet another call

You push me around
now you will get it back
run away if you can
it's your skull I'll crack

This monster inside
I will no longer hide
it has destroyed its cage
you will feel all my rage

My faults

Through the months lost in laughter and snow,
The days through which I forged
An ideal of myself, I wished and dreamed.

I want to find the days
Before I left my youth behind.
I missed the end.
I missed the end.
And only my faults are to blame.

Frozen with fear as I fall into the covering sky,
The days through which I created
An ideal of the world, I wished and dreamed.

I want to find the days
Before I left my youth behind.
I missed the end.
I missed the end.
And only my faults are to blame.

Free me from the stray flames,
That can only remind me of my wintry soul.
They bring me no warmth, simply sadness.

Free me from the gazes of prying e

Insanity

It's building faster.
I can feel it.
It's hunting me,
I can't just sit.

I have to move,
I can't stay still
For it will just
Bend my will.

I'll lose myself,
I'll fade away.
It will happen,
What can I say?

It's hard to avoid,
I've been running for years
No matter how I try,
It ignores my tears.

I try so hard
I wish it to die
I can't kill it,
It's far too sly.

It hides in the shadows
and feasts on your fears.
It will always be in control
And will always turn your gears.

It will take you to the edge
The edge of despair.
Before pulling you back,
Hard, and it won't care.

It wants your life,
And it wants your soul.
It w

Without youI slowly kill myself
with every second
I don't spend
close to you

I eat myself up
with thoughts
running circles
in my mind

I think and feel
like a madman
without you
by my side

I, I , I
am nothing
without
you, you, you

Sgt.- You ready?Breathe in.
Sidled, running down your arm,
Resting sweetly in your palm.
Pause.
Ready?

Calming hands caress you,
As judging eyes adorn your duty jacket.
Whipping lightly in the breeze.
Long coat tails, sit and stare,
The pistol aimed, through solid air,
It's down to you.
Just don't care.
For a second.

And it'll all be over.

The Sergeant,
Stares ahead.
Blankly.
The victim... no, that's not right.
The soldiers eyes,
Deer-caught-in-headlight eyes screaming.

Yelling, yearning,
Bleeding.

Can you pull the trigger?
Pull the trigger?
The trigger.

All that stands between you,
Innocence,
And glory.

The whizzing bang of gunfi

Conversations

these conversations
these vultures
circling above the broken maimed
carcass of our relationship
just let it die

it is time that we finally give up
stop trying to rebuild it
we just cannot do it any more
I am spent
I cannot do this any longer

these conversations
so one sided and false
these lies I never prescribed to
these complications
that we cannot overcome
I'm tired of fighting it
just let it die
let it die

TemptationTemptation.
I've never been one for it.
Never gave it a second thought.

My Mother warned me not to go into the shadows.
Only danger would welcome me there.

But his scent; so sweet like honey couldn't be denied.
I'm helpless near him.

Find someone who'll take care of you.
But this man will.
He's made promises he swears to keep.

Take care of me.
Protect me from harm.
Keep happiness in these eyes.

He screams about the world and it's misguided ways.
My Mother tells me to watch out, he has a temper.
My love will never hurt me.

The wars are raging.
The lies are being spun.

He's decided there's no other way to keep me out of harm

ReminiscenceIt hurt me to see the depth—
of those ivory, gleaming eyes.
Their passion gone, their once-love faded
deep in this redolent reminiscence.
Endless it may be, you say to the heavens,
but to me you were fulfilled, completed.

You shattered my heart to the ground
and yet—
I loved you all the more.
You trampled on my darkened soul,
ripped my wings from head to toe,
you destroyed my living, breathing core,
and yet I loved you all the more.

I love you all the more.

Second Fiddle

Your lacklustre eyes
Lose their focus
As you listen solemnly
The organ's C-natural melody
The end of past things and desires

Your small bouquet
Of red roses
Are held delicately
Between your hands
Your fingertips
Lightly graze the thin petals

You stand there
Staring at the groom
Trying to smile
When all you can do is cry

A silvery tear
Follows the curved plane
Of your stone face
As you try to internalize
All of your emotions

You watch the groom
With a forced smile
As he stares forward
Genuinely happy

You try to come to terms
With the role that you will always play
That void that will never be filled
How you are alway

Imperfection

She hears all the other girls
They talk about their boyfriends
They talk about their makeup and latest brands
They talk about their perfect lives

She can't help but laugh at their cliques
The boyfriends cheat for a more imperfect girl
The makeup cakes on and the clowns are reveled
Their lives are as imperfect as can be

She watches everyone inside and out
She notices most everyone has an imperfect relationship
She notices most everyone has an imperfect sense of style
She notices everyone has an imperfect life

She sees her life
It may look just like a life full of imperfections,
But having an imperfect story is the only
perfecti

Shadows"Shadows"
by Taylor Colbert

"Shadows fall on yesterday,
and now the light just fades away.

I'm broken, torn apart
without a care.

Memories consume,
scratching all these
desperate wounds.

I'm nothing,
an empty shell of
misery.

Save me from this dark
demented abyss I'm in.

A coma of empathy
no doubt I lost your sympathy.

Breathe some life back into
me, don't leave me here like this.

All my seams have busted,
no more dreams to substitute
for all of the rusted wounds.

Shadows fall on tomorrow,
and now I'm left here hollow.

This dark cloud's pouring
down, leaving me here in this
lifeless town..."

KissOur ringing laughs, our poignant smiles,
Just us two now- no-one for miles,
None to interrupt our moment of bliss,
Our waiting lips lock for our long awaited kiss.

A soft stroke at first, as us two artists meet,
Paintbrushes locked with no room for deceit,
I only taste honey and sugar and love,
As I sigh, you do too,
As sun shines from above.

Our hands travel next, as they meet linking tight,
We break from the bind as with all of your might
You still hold me close as you spin me right round,
As your laugh fills the airwaves, I faint from the sound!

I awaken once more to a peck on the cheek,
And you grab me once more as my knees

To the SlaughterTo The Slaughter:

Fleecy white skin,
Ripped tainted flesh.
The colors rise and pool
Over pleated tired mesh.

The voices rise to screams
As they fade to strangled-muffled yelps.
The sharpness cleans the frail,
Separates the weak from the strong
Serrates.

One voice among the masses
Calls so divine,
Defined by cacophonous unanimity
From high up.

"Kill them all!"

TranquilizeTranquilize:

Eternal nulling
Satisfy my unsatisfiable hunger.
Titillate my senses,
Take me away… Give me desert kisses.

Throw away justification,
Judge not,
Walk with me
To the lands of
Equal oppression.

Eternal Nulling,
Put pin pricks into my hand.
Rake me for the answers,
Question me for an idea.

I'm still feeling.
But I am numb.
Obviate the obscenity,
Release me to kingdom come!

Un-ManlyUn-Manly:

Taxiing emotions like that of
… Love.
Of Pity,
Fear: Creativity.

Can a man truly be…
Manly?
And what exactly can that be?

So what if my past-times
Do not involve, include,
Never have, never will…
The great games
Of stupidity and
Hatred and
Chauvinistic ways!

So foreign am I
From things as…
Self-emotional-null.

…And I hope…
God I hope…
I'm not the only man,
Who is?

Midnight Stalker

Midnight Stalker:

Blood-shot eyes.
Wide awake.
The creaking floorboards,
Outside the door…

The rusty door knob,
Jiggling, and tumbling to the floor.

"Who's there?"
I whisper.
No one...A word not dared.

"Who's there?"
I whispered.
And I get the shadows
Cold blank stare.

Fingers turn white,
They grip hard to the sheets.
Rivulets of sweat,
Pour from head
Down to feet.

My bed is soaked iridescent.
My eyes look around in urgent begging
Cries for the night
To tell no more lies!
No more lies. No more lies… NO MORE LIES!

Those shadows keep staring
And if I close my eyes
I may not live through to see
Tomorrow.

well... I like this poem.... but I seriously have no idea where it came from. I think I wrote it after watching The Shining or something.... O.o

It's a good poem either way, very creepy. It captures the feeling of acute fear when you're alone in the dark and you're wondering what unseen horrors are lurking within.
