Prismatic Poems - Poems about Prismatic

I write my soul in ink on paper, My skin is stripped away, Blood replaced with ink that flows through my veins, Defences shattered and the visage of lies is broken, My mask is taken from my hand and replaced with a pen, I don’t have to hide my feelings, Feelings that are so destructive they must stay hidden, Hidden from those...

"A silenced tongue weighs heavy against the soul," quote by poet. I sit amongst a single light, light illuminating a hand-built oaken desk, desk with pictures of the past lay out randomly around me, whilst I hear the whoosh of her oxygen machine droning on— breathing life into her failing lungs. Drowning in overwhelming emotions, I seek an outlet to...

Night time again. I ask for god to forgive me. An hour passes, I blink. I see myself in the reflection of my eyes. Pages sit on my bed, unwritten, I don’t dare touch them So they may remain complete in incompletion. I shiver and heave at the thought. Two more hours pass and I have touched them now. I sip at...

The Prismatic Self Premiere Contest Winner I meet myself at the edge of mirror glass— its surface holds me like a verdict; renders me in symmetry I do not trust.

Caressing the floral frame, I see reflecting in my eyes A question of perspective, of purpose, of the prize. Am I looking to gain favour? Do I desire to impress? Is my motive to spread joy with the topics I address? It's true. I would be lying to say that in my heart The virtual trophy doesn't matter, what does...
