My inner thoughts are usually hidden
Belonging to no one else; they’re mine alone
Few pry, recognizing my need to remain silent
My wisdom is covert; in my mind’s safety deposit box
I do slather my inner thoughts onto a page sometimes
Holding my breath, wondering about other people’s reactions
The streets were bustling with people.
out of curiosity my ears tried to catch some noise
Alas,
All it heard was pure silence.
There were no chirping of the birds.
There were no barking of the dogs.
There were no sound of people chattering & quarrelling.
Just .....................my thoughts & only my thoughts
In shadows deep, where heartbeats sigh,
Love blooms beneath the endless sky,
Fear grips tight, yet courage flies,
Joy dances with the morning light,
Sadness weeps, but soon takes flight,
Emotions weave our human tie.
Do you remember the feeling of crying?
the tears slowly streaming down
it's like a warm presence
leaving your body
I can't say I feel comfort in crying
because when I cry
there's no one to wipe the tears away
I take my hands out of my back pockets
holding onto what's left of my pants
and I scoop up my tears in hopes
of keeping my dignity
or maybe my sanity
As I sit here and gaze upon the vast ocean of infinite stars I ask myself are we ever really alone... Or do the souls and spirits of our lost loved ones look down on us in agonizing pain, pain and sorrow not for themselves for they are now free.. But on our pitiful minds not able to grasp the truths and reality for we are the ones who are truly imprisoned by our own hate and despair impairing our eyes to see what really is.

(Side note: I'll just write here since no what will I pay for that premium membership lol As you can tell from the date, I've written this long ago.
I've been contemplating whether or not to join poetrysoup for a while now.
I should've joined earlier. Now I have hundreds to share. Well enjoy my never-shared -'til-today poem entries.)
Nighttime is best/worst time of day.
It's quiet , needa wake up to tomorrow, time to think, can't sleep.
Bruising is like cutting yourself.
Crying is my cocaine.
Despair is my heroine.
Depression is my weed.
Anger is my tobacco.
Vengeance is my duty.
Niceness is my cover.
Jealousy is my complaint.
Comedy is my happy pill.
Uglyness is my karma curse.
i can see again and i am grateful
for you opened the shades and showed me a plate full
the tummy of my eyes are fatter and i yearn to see more
however we have to act out the plan if again we want our wings to soar
my life now has color thanks in full to you
if not for your inspiration my life would still be murky blue
to look forward to something is like free paint and a canvas
whatever iridescent excursion we choose to create is pure joy we can't miss
home is wherever we choose to lay our heads in a smiling sleep
the next day is like a new life begun....making picturesque memories in a laid back deep
Staggering thoughts through endless space marks the spot for heart felt grace.
I gaze with desire for kissing action looking close to see reaction.
she closes eyes and parts her lips as i pull her close grabbing hips.
she holds me close with arms pulled tight knowing the moment is perfect and right.
She whispers softly close in ear take me now forget the fear.
The night is young our emotions are free lets do this together you and me.
Splash
Here goes another piece of my heart
Falling in a pool of tears
Pain
That’s what I feel
From the scars throughout the years
Smile
That’s what I do
When I see you stare
Hide
Don’t want you to know
‘Cause I know you don’t care
Time
What I need
To repair my broken heart
Die
That’s what I do
As I fall apart
Silence
What I need to say
I always keep inside
Stay
Please don’t leave me
And never say goodbye
Listen
Hear the words
That are not spoken
Fix
Please repair
What is broken
Way deep down inside of me
Where the survival instincts lay
The place in my subconscious
Where the id and libido play
Where my nature and my spirit
Weave the fabric of my soul
Where the inner thoughts inside of me
Ultimately set my goal
Where my rhyme meets my meter
And my thoughts I do conceive
I wonder if I’ve done enough
Before I take my leave
it hurt me to my heart for you to question what i do
i thought if i told you i loved you that would do
i will never spill the truth about what i do to you
i can't tell you what i do it will hurt you to know the truth
secrets are things you don't tell certain people or maybe just no one
my conscience isn't guilty not one bit but the satisfaction of my mind won't quit
i guess my mind will continue to do its guilty deeds
until it hits destruction overload until it explodes
I won't let you in
But at the same time I won't let you out
Within you make me happy
But outside you make me pout
My inner hopes for you are not true
In reality we can never be a pair
My wish is for us to be happy
But in reality you will never care
What I see is you
You are everything you hope to be
Deep down I care for you like no other
But you can never like me
Everything in your life doesn't go your way
The boy you like will always reject you
Deep down I care, but I know you don't
You just like him, he is everything you do
He is your all
Sleep, think, dream, of him
What you don't know is I can be more
I can be there for you at every whim
But these are just my thoughts within
On the out this can never be reality
In live we can never see
Anything, between you and me
As I lay here awake my head is still reeling
It’s hard to describe just what I am feeling
I look into my heart and think why it is so
It can be quite hard sometimes to let it go
I am thinking now how my mind spins
Life takes a hold and no one wins
Deep dark thoughts drifting through
I know its depression and that won’t do
Nothing hurts as much as life itself
Gaining from past conquests and wealth
Years gone by and a future yet to be
Who knows what is in store for me
My feelings lift and the cloud disperses
My heart is now filled with songs and verses
Sunshine fills my body with pleasure
My life is a real and wonderful treasure
Situations that make me smile or cry
Who am I to question why?
Just listening to my feelings inside
That’s where my thoughts stay and hide
shadows swam amounst the human heart,
dead to the owner that life has broken apart,
guilt, pain, hate, confusion, doubt,
insanity thrives and exploides to a shout.
boils within the humans inner being,
takes hold of itself and crushes every feeling,
lethal anguish waiting for the pain,
the emptiness thats left will drive you insane.
truth was a lie, and so was love,
a sickening debt to go up above,
forsaken world that forsaken me,
something that killed everything in me.
uncertainty lies within the heart
was always there from the start,
the mind was twisted...was always so,
captivity as it tormented my very soul,
unlocking pain, hate, doubt and shame,
the depressed soul needs to be contained.
Each time I see your face,
millions of thoughts come to mind.
Can this be real?
My heart starts racing,
emotions ready to explode,
What is this that I feel?
Just spending time with you,
means everything in the world.
I love who you are.
When we're together,
nothing else matters,
its you and me, we forget the world.
