Unstable Poems

Premium MemberShe Renders Me Unstable

She renders me unstable,
A force too wild to cradle.
Her laughter cascades,
Like untamed hair upon my chest,
Each word a dagger, sharp and true,
Yet she is my unbridled joy, my undoing too.

She throws her head back,
And my world dissolves,
A riot of mirth only time absolves.
A burst of fireworks, bright and wild,
She ravages my soul, both fierce and

The Puppet and the Strings

you are the puppet,
I am the strings,
and yet you control everything,
to wake up each day
with a promise I've made,
only for you 
to not see it through,
does anything matter to you?
alone in my bed,
wandering thoughts,
what's it for,
to sit and rot?
I'd rather not,
but here you lay
wasting each day
like it's worthless to you anyways,
with strings I command,
yet you

The Sixth

He held my hands, I wanted pulling away
My heart beat is unstable, scared if I linger I wouldn't 
want to let go.
Loneliness drove me into his arms, it wasn't my 
intention from inception. He felt safe like a well with no 
water, my emotions were as sky with no clouds, having 
mind of its own,
as

Mind War

I've tried a million times to reach the same stage
Facing the same lights 
Burning at the same pace

Whatever was left of me, got designated to your happiness. 

Can't go rest 
Can't take a step
The air choked the life 
Out of my breath 
And here I am standing with a bouquet of roses—
On my death.

I've never

Premium MemberShe Smelled of Unstable

she smelled of unstable 
an upgrade from offline
like a magnet folded in two 
she had me sputtering over gutters
whenever she was looking for action
there was no getting bored

i was but one of a billions souls
who's timing was all wrong
it's a wonder i ever belonged
i was readily decomposed
changed into another compound
waffling like an improper synonym

and then

Premium MemberA Response To Michelle Faulkner's Poem, Unstable

Knock knock knocking on heaven's door 
my knuckles are bleeding and still, 
you ask me, nothing more 
Thick red solid walls erected between us 
you labeled me and shipped me off to another Country ...
leaving me with nothing more 
Defused, deprogramed, debugged, I walk away 
from your locked-in displaced shrug
I am held in a makeshift

You think this is quaint, a case of the blues
A handkerchief for a dainty cheek
But I want to howl, I want to shriek
I want to tear the world in two

As you safely stand
In your well-dressed land
Handing out ornate soliloquies
Like pennies
yet neglecting to understand
The poverty of agony

While my dark demeanor 
is dismissed
I will burn buildings
If you

Just Saying

Hey poor boy from the far 80s 
Was it 16 or 17 when you got stuck?
You dug a hole so deep and fell in it.
Agreed it was warm , protective 
except that your whole adulthood was  blocked . 
You had your chances , you had your talents 
you let them rot .
And now you

Unstable

I'm left emotionally and mentally unstable
Trying my hardest, but I'm unable,
To somehow disable,
My feelings for you; it's impossible
I wish I could disconnect my heart from my brain; cut that cable,
Easier said than done; it's not really feasible

I tried my best, brought everything to the table,
Love I once thought unbreakable,
Little did I know it's end was

Unstable Words

By the beauty of her eyes,
A dumb like me became wise. 
By the beauty of her talk,
My static life started to walk. 

She looks really so pure,
Even my deep wounds are cure.
She looks really so angelic,
Even the nature want her to click.

But... 
A beauty with every beauty,
Is like a fake duty...
She dwells alone,
Deeply hurted and

Premium MemberUnstable Mind

When people accuse me
Of being a man of unstable mind,
I do not get offended—
I do not mind!
 
My mind Is constantly
Growing, developing,
Evolving, changing…

Why should I
Stand by everything
I said yesterday?
 
What I said yesterday
Was true of yesterday
But, why should it remain 
The same today?
 
Everything changes with time—
Situations change, Knowledge increases,
Perceptions get overhauled,
The mind gets transformed!

I see no Knight in shining armour
On his trusty steed
I can't see the local farmer or man of any
Colour or creed

Who would want a valentine like me
No man with any sense
Who would date a woman
Who's name is Hortense

Hortense stable is my unfortunate name
Not a good start
When you are in the waiting game
I have been waiting

Unstable Witch

Stalking someone life
Lurking digging 
Collecting info
On a total stranger 
rage mad with her
wishing death on her
Chanting spells over her 
Pictures,
Wake up obsessing
Envy of her beauty 
Envy of her youth

Wealthy in the world
Heart full of poverty 
Lacking confidence 
Lost control discuss her 
All day,
Stranger consume your thoughts
Stranger got the power 
Gaining your strength 

Insecure beauty fading
Love
