Beauty is a Love Withheld

by ~jessica35, Sep 30, 2012, 3:53:42 PM
Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Traditional Fixed Forms

When empty tears cease to welt,
the underside of love is naught.
The barrens of indifference felt.
Healed the heart no longer wrought.

Thine flower left in dry to wilt.
May I have eyes to watch it die.
Tattered petals turned to silt.
Sent on lightened wings to fly.

And while my shoulder faces west,
thy hands reach out for fingers fated.
To kiss the skin the heart knows best,
and find that warmth hath now been gated.

Beauty is a love withheld,
to fertilize the passion grow.
But mine heart's desire has been felt,
and now it's time to let it go.

Into the NightShe blows out midnight flickering wicks,
settling the whisping smoke
like caterpillars in serenity.
Nostalgic nebulas weave,
fade.
Into the night,
into the night.
Residing riptides of cinnamon linger.
Tuck the eyes if sleeping slumber.Into the Night by ~jessica35

Like a SalmonI want to hatch like a salmon in your heart
and glide through the rapids in your blood stream,
always making my way against the current
back to the place I was born.

I want to grow like a tree in your back yard
and hold up the wooden swing of your youth.
I'll be the place you go to think in solitude,
my branches never letting you fall.

I want to flourish like a flower in your garden
and fill your days with colour.
I'll be the stems that you pick for your vase
to fill rooms with aromatic beauty.

I want to rush through your mind like a river
and push aside all of that debris.
I'll be the liquid thoughts of your daydreams.

Dear Teen MeDear Teen Me:

You're in the hospital right now, curled up in a ball and wheezing in pain. The doctors have you on bed rest because every time you try to stand up the world goes black. You weigh just less than 90 pounds, and you haven't eaten in months. It's not because you don't want to eat; it's because keeping food down is like nailing Jell-O to the wall, impossible. You dry heave over a metal bed pan the nurse gave you, but nothing but this disgusting yellow and brown stuff ever comes up. The nurses tell you that the yellow stuff is bile and the brown stuff is blood.

They used to do tests on you every day. They would come in with their nDear Teen Me by ~jessica35

Counting Memories of YouLately I've been going on dates with boys. I say boys because not one of them measures up to the man you were. Sure, some of them have been beautiful. One even had a British accent, which made me melt into a puddle of goo on the floor. But for some reason they all disappear, ignoring my phone calls, ignoring my text messages. I guess it could have been something that I did or said, but I like to think it's because they aren't man enough for me. It really gets me thinking about you, and all the ways you made me feel invincible. It's on days like today when I'm feeling useless and depressed that I often count the things that remind me of you.

Shy moon,i've got love carved into honeysuckle wrists,
a murder of crows in my throat,
& a pack of wolves at my back.

i want to know truths behind these myth eyes, &
the distant galaxies under your fingertips.

but, love me. love me, Love.
show me what's beyond Grimm fairy tales
& scars.

spare me your ribs;

this skyscraper heart
needs a place to go.Shy moon, by *DearPoetry

GlassI always laugh when you refer to me as glass.
Not just because of the way you say it,
(glass-as-in-gas).
Or because I know it's a crack at my fragility.

Glass is pure.
I am like granite -
my body nullified from too many clashing traits.

Glass is transparent.
I am like clay -
illegible from all the plastered smiles.

Glass is unyielding.
I am like chalk -
easily broken and scuffed away by meagre things.

Glass is hung up on walls and in great cathedrals,
tinted for enhancement, but only ever painted on by fools.

I am hidden behind keypads and camera lenses,
coated in a thick paste of deceptiveness.

No, my love,
I was never glass. (Despite

The colors themselves though they may try to disguise,
form a beautiful picture from the rainbow inside.
Although the colors confuse and the shades run and hide,
I'll show you each shade and I'll stay your guide.

It sounds like a melody the pen on paper,
I'll be quick to step in should your hands ever waver.
At times it's a whisper gently coaching each color,
but together were something each color a wonder.

Color, tastes like skittles,
it's not the shade outside,
but the flavor in the middle

The shades feel like petals between calloused fingers,
Soft and velvety as rough hands guide their shapes.
Tiny drops of paint are

Oblivion
It's 4:23am and you still aren't home tonight, should I be worried?
Your clothes have been smelling like lavender, with wrinkles in your collar.
I try not to inhale when I embrace you, 'cause I'm scared of the truth.
That there's someone else besides me, a woman whose bed you sleep in-
-instead of mine.
I was once told that I was as strong as stone, like an ancient onyx.
Nobody could get in; my walls were that concrete, that tall.
But you scaled my skyscraper, you took my soul, took my heart.
Made me fall to the very depths of oblivion, in love.
I cry like a child left alone in the darkness as you slowly fade away.

I'm sorry this is so late, but thank you so much for the fave on my poem, "Peter Pan!" It's a personal one, so it really means a lot to me that you liked it.

I read a few of your poems as well and really enjoyed the unique descriptions of certain emotions.

You definitely have your own style as a writer, so I hope you keep up the good work!
