Velvet Burghardt Poem
The thoughts of the wind eternalize my being
only a light of such brilliance could overcome
Aching bodies are not yet finished
but those who settle are done
Open the casket and see what is left
there is nothing but an empty chest
You can rip open their soul's and crush it in your hands
they barely notice and sew up their pain
I reach for more, to be changes
some want nothing but to stay the same
Their eyes are castrated, gone none the less
the pin has dropped, no sound was heard
Listen once more to the sound of your heart
does it beat fast? Or refuse to start.

Velvet Burghardt Poem
When hate and rage eat away at your heart,
you begin to change.
Your beauty inside morphs into an infection
where darkness reigns
The infection is a spider, its darkness its web
you are a victim
It takes one small mistake to become paralyzed
it becomes a habit
But, every time you speak hate or breath rage,
you vibrate the web
Each and every move only spreads the infection
the spider gets closer
Untangle yourself from the web of rage and hate
and destroy your demon, the spider.

Velvet Burghardt Poem
I am a drifting Jellyfish
my hopes are none to all
I love a place and a time
the current rips it from me
I have no home, I have no constant
variables fill my mind
I cannot show what I love
but really it's a given
All I want is a stable home
no movement in my waters
The selfish Sea only sees it's self
one day I will be gone
Beware you selfish Ocean
my defense is my sting

Velvet Burghardt Poem
Who owns the child?
the one who has no place.
Is it The One Track Minds?
Who only listen the themselves?
Is it the recovering addict?
Who caused all the pain?
Is it the uncaring trier?
Who knows not a thing?
Is it the Loving Light?
Who gave all he had?
Or.
Is it the trapped memories
Torturing her inside?

Velvet Burghardt Poem
I slowly cascade my hates
but my anger doesn't leave
The pressure is lifted and I feel okay
but my mind, it feels numb
When I cry I have no tears
only dry sobs of nothing
Cant I wait for a better time?
no, that is my answer
They shouldn't listen to my moaning
or my lifeless face
Just move on and look away
it's what they all do anyway
No. Not a light will shine within me
now dark clouds blacken the shine

Velvet Burghardt Poem
The desire of the world is to destroy all dreams.
When the clocked ticked this didn't change.
A child of many was stripped of limbs.
Left in dark water, but knew not how to swim
Coldness emerged like a foggy desire.
In the core was a hungry light
Consuming all didn't happen over night.
Little by little darkness changed
A beacon opened, and all drew near.
They tore it down in confusion and fear
If a creature licks its own tongue
Its flesh will become bones.
One night all shone.
At last the fright

Velvet Burghardt Poem
He hurt me
and now I am pretending
He lied to me
and now I speak no truth
He loved me
but not more than himself
He touched me
breaking me into a million pieces
I trusted him
he was supposed to be family
I loved him
but he broke his promises
I told on him
and no one believed me

Velvet Burghardt Poem
It was written in the stars
more or less the moles on my back
I admired the sun, the stars, the moon
it all started one darkened night
I gathered my wits and pushed down the confusion
I led them all in a great revolution
We walked all morning and ran all day
somehow we did not decay
I stopped them at the edge of time
a few more steps and they all were mine
I gathered my tears, and scattered them all
then disappeared like an unseen love
