Hating All The Colours - A Poem [DRAFT]

Nuclear explosion

Caught right inside my veins,

Sending surges of rage

To the heart of my brain.

A shadow with a soul,

Born in anger and pain,

Stirred by all the colours -

They're driving me insane.

I hate all the beauty

That surrounds me everyday.

All perfection and joy,

As I, here, waste away.

All that I can do

Is wait until I blow.

Until the bomb inside my heart

Wipes out all that I know.

I never wanted to

Be perfect, like all of you.

Never wanted beauty,

To be a clone, through and through.

The blue inside my eyes,

Betrays my bleak, dark heart.

Too deep inside the shadows

For me to make a fresh start.

Gone - A Poem

Stalking the shadows,

I make love to the night.

Worshipping the black,

The darkness is my guide.

Sharp shards of my dreams

Cut deep into my mind,

I'm trying to forget

The hope that I can't find.

Hope bleeds from my heart,

As I reach your frozen self.

A solid memory from my past,

That left me when I fell.

Illuminated by

The big yellow moon,

I stroke your empty face

Like ivy strokes a tomb.

“Sorry...” tumbles out,

A few times, I say it.

But like stones upon glass,

The word has no effect.

Then I close my eyes,

And tell you I was wrong,

But I find that I'm too late,

For when I look again,

You're gone....
