Mr ADHD
Mr ADHD.... I'm Mr. ADHD, it's plain to see, Just to be my friend, you must be crazy. Let alone my partner, that's my forever Be, I love my girl, as she's crazy like me. My mind's a rollercoaster, no brakes, no stop, Thoughts racing, bouncing, like a pinball drop. Hyperactive energy, can't sit still, In this ADHD life, it's a constant thrill. Medications try to tame the beast inside, Ritalin, Adderall, they try to guide. Speed's got...

Metaphorical version of, 'You're dying '
Metaphorical version of, 'You're dying....' I’m Cancer, creeping from the shadows of hell, A curse unleashed, where darkness dwells. No lying, I’m here, your silent dread, I thrive in your fear, where hope has fled. I’m happy, you’re crying, your tears fuel my fire, Years fighting, years trying, yet I never tire. I set in deep, roots of despair, A shadowy curse, a nightmare’s snare. You’re dying, no denying, I tighten my grip, A relentless force, a sinking ship. For over...

Fishin’ for Time
In the pure bright wake, I went fishing’ for calm and all I caught was tumblin’ time. The hours were soppin’wet with pond scum and the seconds kept getting’ away as soon as I thought I had them hooked. The minutes peered up at me from the crepuscular waters and told a lie. “Be patient,...

Where there is war, There can be no peace; No matter who or where you are, We must, as one, tame this vicious beast:- Where there is war, There can be no peace; No matter who are where you are Chanting "War For Peace", must cease:- It's like a shark with an octopus' head in its jaw, Changing to t it prey,...

I Yearn
I yearn for a quiet life, Its really hard though When all your life has been noise. I constantly pondered on what it must be like, But my brain finds it hard to fathom such a concept I yearn for a quiet life. The noise becomes so loud that It being quiet is outlandish Something beyond comprehension When all your life has...

Premium Member Metaphorical Raindrops
Yesterday, sociable sun embellished, desires of my poetic garden heart. Spreading sweet scents of serenity, elegantly and enchantly, echoing, vivid visions from my vibrant vocabulary, but, such is the nature of the muse, without refreshment, it's petal like mood cried for raindrops of ink to nourish and flourish its sensitive sleeping seeds, shielded by my soul. But, howling winds arrived with...

Hello I am a poem
My words intertwined with the deepest emotions Dreams, goals and sometimes sorrow deeper than an ocean, My words are like waves that wash over each reader in different ways Sometimes crashing down and others just simply sways And like the tide it moves each reader in a different way Casting them far off or bringing them closer to the shore...

Premium Member Slumber
This overwhelming sense I fear is death, Macerates any attempt of release, Your weight upon my chest holds still my breath, A lamb in languor, I plead for some peace. Who are you demon, refusing a name, Is your cold apparition here to stay? Repent, I repent! you must know my shame, Is it too late to send your soul away? From...

Stagnated sin stared straight out to sea Seeking a scape subdued of such scintillation Stars she said should not share the same air Superstitions shaped in slumber stirred into song Singing superfluous sonnets that sliced through the skin Stripping all sound sense of sanity within Still and stark was the strange soul's stare Stipulating struggles of stunted summations Silent soliloquies submerged...
