Tell Me You’re Ok
You smile in your pictures
But you still fill up on liquor
You tell me you’re ok
Baby tell that to your ashtray
You dance around feelings
No one told you this isn’t ballet
Maybe you should run away
But isn’t that a little cliche
So you took the fast way
To forget about the bad days
I’m sorry I couldn’t help you
I was busy drowning in my own way
- j.k.
Kinda cheesy but true though.
Bleeding Horizon
Horizon bleeding fragile colors
Leaving behind old memories
Left in agony
Couldn't withstand the pleas and screams
Soon we'll be submerged in complete
Tragedy of dark nights
Trails of tears mourning forgotten light.
Fogs Of Sorrow
Through the fogs of grief and sorrow my weakened mind could not see the morrow.
Lost Dreams
Nothing makes sense anymore
I'm lost
Wandering through endless minefields
My dreams are war torn
Lost in such insanity
I nearly feel sane
I yearn so greatly to finally meet the end
My heart shakes in pain
I collapse into myself every night
And the start of each day
I just want to be ok
Sleeping soundly in my grave
Tears of Gold
Tears of gold
Stream from eyes
Lovely big blue skies
Shut of the faucet
Rusted minds
Pollute you darling eyes
Sadness lasts through all of time
Corners of your mouth
Weigh you down
Anchored to the ground
I'm here for you now
Fearful Minds
Her mind was a dark ally
In the pitch black night
All around were eyes peering
Hidden in the deepest corners
Watching, waiting eagerly
To infiltrate her mind.
If you’re reading this
And your heart feels
Like a broken bird
In the jaws of hurt
And the darkness is
A prison you built
Yet cannot escape
If you feel no one sees
You, or looks through
You, if you are a ghost
To the people you love
And it aches in ways
You cannot describe
Please know that I
Am here, and I will
Always listen, you never
Have to drown alone
I honestly really needed this right now.
Emerging Darkness
I retreat to my chambers
Where I sink into my mattress
The folds arise around me
Pulling me in
Holding me down
Something stirs in the darkness
Monsters emerge from shadows
Worn disgusting grimaces
Cloaked in black
They approach me
Hold me down
Tie me up
Wear me down
Closed my mouth
In this world
They wear the crown
I am nothing now

Glistening Glory
Stars peek through clear skies as polluted city lights die for the night. We sit peering at the wonderous beauty as they shine through the heavens in all their exquisite glory.
- j.k. poetry
Love At Long Last
I can think of nothing else
Except the memory of my hand in his
And the magic that lay within
As his finger tips printed
Loving poems into my palms
My heart memorized and sung all night long
My memory refused to let go
And In that moment
time moved slow
- j.k. poetry
Necklace of Hope
I tie and untie this necklace of rope
It was because of this world
I have lost all hope
- j.k.
One of my favorites.
My mind was once a pretty garden
Now it’s overgrown
Lost in a tangle of weeds
- j.k.
My Once Lovely Garden
Ocean Eyes
Cupped hands
Fallen tears
Gathered salty
Shimmering pools
Of tears
Great sorrows
Fill my day
I'll sail away
Upon my
Ocean
Travel the world
Until I fall off
Anyway
Deadly Eyes
Trapped in a frozen glacier, frozen ice, frozen time. The air is cold and I am shrouded with wisps and swirls of white breath. Light shines through the tinted blue glass mimicking beauty of the outside. A torturous taunt of what’s behind this icy prison of mine. I will forever be trapped in this deadly beauty until the end of time.

Art
Pretty stained
Berry lips
Exquiste masterpiece
Behind fragile glass
Fragmented mind
Hidden away
Left behind
Broken and blind
Pure art
Left in the dark
Old bliss
A warm kiss
Long forgotten
Except on her
Berry stained lips
- j.k. poetry
We Sail On
I feel like a ship, caught in the midst of your storm.
- j.k. poetry
An old favorite post of mine.
I Hate Me Too
We scream until I can no longer differentiate your voice from mine.
Trails of tears, I don’t remember when I started to cry.
Another punch, another kick, I cannot escape from this.
Pleas and cries for help echo through my mind.
The evil will not escape your eyes.
So cut me, watch me bleed.
At least your only hurting me.
Tell me what you see in my face?
Perhaps a bad memory?
Is this why you cage me?
Is that why you hate me?
It’s okay, I hate me too.
- j.k. poetry
Thin Ice
Shrouded in darkness
Lost in smothering fog
Mingling swirls
Wisps of white
Breath intertwine
Hot and cold air
Ice cracks
Beneath worn
Bare feet
I try to leave
But death wanted me
- j.k.poetry
