That Thing About Misery

Ghost Town

It's like a Ghost Town here,

there is nobody around,

not a peep, nor a squeak,

not nearly an audible sound.

I can hear my heart beating,

 within my pulsating chest,

is the only sound I hear,

as i swiftly progress,

This just doesn't feel right,

In fact it's very errie,

how quiet, and still it is,

It does seems quite scary.

I got to get out of here,

not one individual is found,

as if they had all vanished,

evacuating this, Ghost Town!!!

RAW!!!!!!

Hard Core

poetry

is, coming on through,

to the closest

city, and

town near you,

I am Rough,

I am Tough,

you just

can't get enough,

I know how

I flow, and

I know what's up,

I am coming

with strength,

I am coming

with power,

I be laying down

these words,

like every single

hour,

I enjoy what I do,

no time

for feeling

blue,

I want to

be the one,

to motivate

you,

I will lift your

heavy burders,

like a feather,

you'll feel higher,

and

the one to

encourage,

as I so

desire,

no clouds

of gray,

they shall go

for away,

optimistic,

feeling good,

sunny skies all day,

spitting out

dope lyrics,

that is it, and

that's ...

I will Dance like nobody's watching

Watch me as I two-step, or

twinkle my toes, or

Shake my body,

dancing two, and fro,

There ain't nobody's watching,

time to rock-n-roll,

watch Watch me as I two-step, or

Twinkle my toes I go!!!

I'M JUST DANCING ALL AROUND, and

HAVING A BLAST,

FEELING SO OPTIMISTIC,

HOPE THIS FEELING WILL LAST,

YES,

My own HOUSE PARTY,

Having so much fun,

Ya'll be doing th same,

I'm not the only one!!!

SO, IF YOU'RE FEELING GOOD,

FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR SHOES,

Get on up, Feel the Groove,

GRASP THE MUSIC, AND MOVE!!!

NOW, GET ON UP, AND BOOGIE,

HERE WE GO,

HERE WE GO, KEEP ON DANCING, AND

GROOVING,

AS IF NOBODY KNOWS!!!

A Sudden Exit

 I got this from a writing challenge from another Poetry website. I hope it's cool that I can post this

As shoes are complaining,

YOU LEFT US BEHIND!!!,

just up against the wall

now that's out of line,

now, what was the rush?, and

the meaning of this?,

just running around barefoot,

just up and just split,

Did the house catch on fire?,

or Maybe a flood,

or you bump your pinky

with a painful thud?,

If you'd worn your shoes,

your feet would be secured,

I would've kept them snugged,

honestly I am sure,

NOW, HERE I AM ANGRY and

having the blues

I'd wished that you

hadn't bandoned your shoes

Someone to talk to

Someone to talk to,

someone to converse with,

to have stories to share, or 

maybe just kick it,

a true and dear friend,

a friend to the end,

If you hurt or heart is broken,

will help your heart mend,

a friend who is always there,

Pick you up when you are down,

Let you know, that they do care,

Help you to turn that frown around,

There's someone who will help you,

that will chase away your Blues,

If they would just lend you there ears,

You just need someone to talk to

Maybe Next Time

I really wanted to hang today, but

you had to leave, and go far away,

I like your Aura,

You have such a Bright Light,

Just a conversation with you

brings to me Delight,

You Sparkle like a Diamond,

that lights up the night,

We haven't really conversed

for quite a while, but

When you are in my presence,

YES!!!

YOU DO MAKE ME SMILE!!!

you were on my mind today,

I hope that you are good, and

that things are okay,

I wish you the best, and

hope all is well, this I pray,

If you're not too busy, or

happen to come around,

Maybe we could just chill,

or even hit the town,

It will be a Thrill,

YEAH!!!

WHAT DO YOU SAY??

Get lost, break free,

Where They run and play,

I hope we could do this,

real soon, and one day.

I would like to check on you,

I will drop a...

Lilac Fantasies

The color of Lilac,

is like a lavender dream,

the feeling of youthfulness,

like a flowing Lavender stream,

a world of Peace and Harmony,

Innocence and Tranquility,

A calmness of pure,

Life's amazing Imaginary,

It's in how you live, and

It's the love you give,

a beautiful Serenity,

Is fantasize Plenty,

Lilacs that Fall,

Deep within the valley

Is where the lilacs dwell,

So, come along and just see,

A world of Lilac Fantasies!!!

Homebodies

To all of the

homebodies

everywhere,

there's nothing

wrong with

staying home,

this cruel world

just don't care,

evilness, and strife

is certainly shown,

I'd rather be in

Solitude, and completely

all alone,

There is so

much darkness,

and malice

Today,

Please be safe,

Trust God,

and just

continue to Pray,

In stead of going out

Is in the house

I'd rather stay!!

The Sun that refuses to Shine

The Sun that refuses to Shine,

On a world of people, that aren't so kind,

It didn't even bother to Rise, but

Instead it decided to Hide,

The Sun will not show its face,

To the people it is such Disgrace,

Not anytime nor even real soon,

The Sun even Encouraged the Moon.

The Sun that refuses to Shine, and

The moon won't even Moonbeam,

On the world that is so full of Darkness,

Of Malice, Temperaments, and Greed.

People are definitely out of hand,

No control, just out of their minds,

Just doing as they may, they really don't

care, self-centered and just out of line

Until we can come to a truce, or

an agreement is what we Shall find,

We will walk-around in a dark world,

because

the Sun refuses to Shine!!

Whispers in the Air

The Calmness, the Stillness,

the chill of despair,

the voices of the unknown, 

of the Whispers in the Air!!

Are you hearing the coded messages,

of what they are trying to say???, or 

are you still trying to decipher them,

this very single day, or

maybe you are unaware of them, and 

you are letting them go astray!!

They may seem to be a bit eerie,

of what you are trying to hear,

these Whipsers in the air,

they tend to bring to you fear,

You're incoherent of 

its understanding, but

It Doesn't seem to make any sinse,

&nbs...
