Tiny Speeches

[Laura]

Here's a couple of short poems. I decided to try oneword.com and it was kind of fun. I never knew it existed until I came here and kept seeing people using it. The first two are from oneword.com (I just used the word for the title), the others are just short poems I wrote for no reason.

Purple

your shades are beautiful
sinking into your lips
I wish I had more moments with you
more moments like this

but you fade into the background
you fade with the light
and I will never have you
against my lonely nights.

Sketch

and a painting with a paint brush two times his size, he paints a portrait of his love. A love dying of shame. Should he be the one to bring her joy, to bring her pain?

he paints a portrait of his love, sketches her features from head to toe. A love dying of a disease. Should he be her hope, her dreams?

Underground Lullaby

lazy anger
walking in the words
every tongue memories crying hearts
time folding faces
failing everyone
I shall stain pain
and admire ignorance
to become nothing
but a short lived breath
on dying lips

Underbelly

we are under a sheltered bridge
crying out of place
they who dare, walk in front
as we just hear every breath
and their tongue pressed hard against their cheek -
their burning cheek
fleshed with anger and disappointment
failing to forgive
not wanting to recognize mistakes of others
could have been their mistake

and the underbelly of this all
rages through the strong
but sparks ignite even in the weakest of souls

they who dare, walk in front -
we just hear every breath.

I enoyed the first two the best, the others were good as well

[glow=purple,2,300]out of those... Underground Lullaby is the one i liked best. especially the line "and admire ignorance" it's just something that one normally wouldn't do. i know i've wondered myself, what would I be like if i didn't know some of the things i know... the "pain" or regret in a sense wouldn't be there but... at the same time - would i really want to be naive... *shrugs* anyway, nice work.
