When I was 6 I was feverish and couldn't sleep
While you just slept comfortably
As I worked hard to please you
You just yelled and hurt me
When I stood first in class
You said that I didn't do much
When I tried to do my hair and look beautiful
You said that my sister Emy is prettier than I

And now, here I am and there you are
I went away and you grew alone.
When I needed you , you weren't there. But
when you need me you would always find me around , mom !

I tried to be emotionless
but i was full of undescribed emotions
I tried to not love you
But you always moved my heart

Dearest Mom !
You threw my heart while I held yours tenderly
You gave me harsh words while I sang Mother's song .
You tore me apart and yet
I loved you

[Pendragon]

I saw my granddad cry
Never though I'd see such a strong man break down
It was the anniversary of Grandma's passing
And he sat there in his big armchair
With a pile of yellowed, ancient letters
Concentrated messages of love
From long ago
Reliving the memories of young love lost
Looking forward to their meeting again
Heaven holds no tears

postmarked 1948



he says it’s sacred
so they must...must keep it
their sweet little secret

whenever she misses him
she lays on a bed of letters
this is where he is
when he is not here

as soon as her eyes close
she can feel the steel tip
his love infused fountain pen
pushing hard and harder
into the exquisite stationery
leaving one unmistakable
pregnant chad

afterwards she swoons over
every trace of saliva he left
on the linen envelopes
each sealed with a lie

Six brillant poems so far. Hurry only three days to go!!!!!!!!!

[krymsonkyng]

on the back of our first polaroid
tucked beneath the topmost socks
stuck in the toe of my suit-slick shoe
hid behind the toothpaste, taped to the top
of the coffee maker lid
the prize at the bottom of the Wheaties
on the back of our last polaroid
paranoid anticipation
fixation for letters and words
for lines of "World Enough
and Time"
tucked into the notes on my phone
on my laptop
on my mind, in my mind
I'm
haunted and possessed by
scraps that mean the world
because they
come from
you.

FALL

Fiery leaves
confetti the grass, bleaches
and parchments the
fiery hues of fall

First gold, then green
A heart’s bud a-flower
Love lettered from
the hand of the Maker
An open secret
Of eternity written in the heart
Reduced to piles, (secret) piles
Of love letters

You said that my sister Emy is prettier than I

And now, here I am and there you are
I went away and you grew alone.
When I needed you , you weren't there. But
when you need me you would always find me around , mom !

Promises Made to Be Kept

When the valleys grow dark with the shadow of Death
When the mountains grow too steep to climb
When all of your rivers flow at flood stage
When the stars seem to fall from the skies

When the wolf's at the door and the howling grows loud
When you feel life's just passing you by
When you feel isolated even when in a crowd
When the tears flow like rain from your eyes

I'll stand by you through good times and bad
Through heartaches, through laughter, through groans
You'll have me beside you till death do us part
Baby, you'll never walk all alone

Pendragon

[krymsonkyng]

The faster that you run from it
the quicker that it catches up
Moonshine in a mason jar
Sunshine in a coffee cup

The sooner that you deal with it
the further that you drive it back
Dirty skies and clouds of white
Purest seas and sails of black

The story grows in time with time
The rhythm, with each tired tread
Hunted, haunted, carried, kept
bound and tied with your own thread

[Dark Muse]

Here and After

You sit alone before the still light,
an ember that still burns
within the beating heart
for what time has taken,
yet a flame that will never die.

And as the winds blow
a voice still sings,
your name upon window fog.
Is it madness! A caress
in an empty room?

To dream while you are awake?

She smiles invisible,
yet still more real than the sun,
a memory more than the photos
on the wall, or a fleeting
sometimes fading thought.

She dances the waltz
to music that manifests
at her fingertips and you
watch the subtle vibration,
laughter more than bird song.

But no trespass will she broker
for death alone cannot part
the weded soul, alas you are
hers forever more, and she is
yours here and after.
