The Death Of Life by Andres Herrera

i know cpr, 

i know mouth to mouth. 

but the only thing in need of being saved, 

is your cold dead heart. 

and i simply cant find someone with the will, 

to save you from such pain & wrong doing.

DISCRIMINATION by Rashika Roberts

The dull ache moves slowly from my head to my chest;
Thumping thumping, the sound never misses a beat.

I am warm inside, but feel so cold;
I shiver with fear as the rain drips from my face.

Falling with weakness;
my strength lies in my humble heart.

Filled with sadness;
a new dawn is near.

The pain is not gone.
The hurt is not over.

In time my head will lift higher than the clouds.
Every minute promises healing.
Life goes on.

TOMORROW by Olumayowa Fagbure

Thoughts of the future
Give me heart pains
Irregular hear beats
and shortened breaths

Sometimes I get dizzy
with the thought of tomorrow
This inevitable, fearful thing
At the forefront
That occurs every new day

The fear grips me
Tomorrow wraps its bony hands around my speeding heart
whispering clichés about
the past

Tomorrow seeps slowly into today
Like a vaccine in an injection
Piercing the darkness
with its finger nails
To reveal a rouge today

Anxiety flutters in my mind
At the sound of “soon”
And tomorrow grows closer and closer
Until it is today
And I begin to worry
About the new tomorrow

Dark Night Bright Dashboard by Nofaithpoet

www.twitter.com/Nofaithpoet

A night away under investigation

Can’t wait transportation already planned

Holding hands waiting for time to come

Eyes wide today we run

Find us some world quiet to become new

No more waiting for the right time to go

Inspiration stuck opportunity flashed

Symbols and landscapes lapse but our memories last.

Raindrops representing minutes we longed for rest

Arms missing arms never able to be warm enough

Eyes wide tonight we find shelter

Then we will discover more brighter scenes

Living out our explicit dreams

Our story has us away from here

Be ready when I call you.

Child of midnight by Anthony Silva 

“I am a child of midnight.
A zealous priest of black.
The shadow of necessity.
Sustaining light by contrast.
The night’s keeper,
who releases the praised day.
I am the downpour,
that allows the intangible rainbow.
The hidden weakness of pride,
found in all men’s hearts.
The indifferent ear given,
to the evil you speak in solitude.
I am the restless fear,
in all of your secrets revealed.
My lying tongue,
gives truth to your love’s lips.
I am the selfish freedom,
had in all your regretful nights.
The saddest story,
you learn absolutely nothing from.

That is why.
I am hated.

That is why.
I am cursed.

But…I am a child of midnight,
and victory I find in my dark purpose.”

Heartbreak By the Lake by Forrest Jamie

I anticipated the heartbreak
I knew would come
because I just couldn’t leave
these feelings and questions unresolved.

And here it is;
first heartbreak
(over eight years in the making)
delivered by
first love.
A new kind of pain
and it’s my own damn fault.
Of course
a girl like me
could never be enough.
Not for you.
But I knew it all along.

So this is what it feels like.
And this is the beautiful view
of the lake we saw
on a Monday afternoon
when you broke my heart.
My eyes began to mimic the waves
while you admitted to your lies.

Did you feel
anything
as you sat there beside me
watching me cry,
watching
my heart breaking?

Until forever fades,
I will love you forever, I’m afraid.

ACID RAIN by Cathy Hammer

Embellish it, boy, embellish it again. You can’t tell the truth you’ll lie over and over just to win. Don’t forget to tie your lies up with pretty little bows to make them just a little bit easier for me to swallow.

Boys like you are like acid rain and girls like me take it over and over again. Boys like you like to hand out pain and girls like me just seem to stay.

Oh, boy, what a trip you are you make me want to run my keys down the side of your car. Oh, baby, what a day it will be when I take one last look at you and set myself free.

I don’t want to be here I just want to go. I’m so damn tired of living under a blackened rainbow. I don’t want to stand and…

Clarity visited by Sharda Bhakhri

It took a while and yet is imperfect.
It is clear … but there are chinks
It would be easy to lose this vision
Get it all muddy and blurred
Like breath on a mirror
But this rare ray,
Let me hang on to it …
Seize it before it vanishes and
Becomes the dust on the window pane on my existence.
She visits so infrequently , fleetingly.
It’s as though a flower bloomed
None witnessed, just the stem who bore it.
A self-acknowledgement , needing no praise , no applause but worthy
A quiet blooming in a desert, where nothing grew for a long time
Only cactus in the aridity of ignorance
And the piled up canker of all those careless words spoken by loved ones , strewn without a thought…
Loved ones.
In one swift lightning moment
The light…
