Illumine
times-are-hard-for-the-dreamers:
Flickering candlelight Illuminates shadowy uncertainties Reaching into every Crack and crevice Demolishing all remnants of The darkness That took up residence here
The brightness is dazzling And radiates heat Fire burns Darkness Into obscurity
But there is nothing there To take its place The emptiness gnaws its surroundings Proving its existence
Flames...
Smiling Eyes
graciouswords:
Smiling eyes disguise
the sighs of pain
that rain upon a
soul so weak
they cannot speak
emotions weep
into a heart
that once burnt bright
now every night
when out of sight
those smiling eyes
break down and cry
till tear ducts dry
no more to weep
they welcome sleep

Reflections on the Color Plaid: Shadow by... →
plaidleek:
I like how you ignore me
As though I’m some petty accessory
To be worn about.
But it hurts all the same
To be your shadow.
A background object
Cast by your brilliance
Only to contrast with your radiance
To sit cold and rejected
Mimicking your every move
To try and be like you.
Yet every day you’re the only one
That I can talk to.
Perhaps you don’t mean to but
Your...
graciouswords:
Perhaps one day, I will be
more than just another of
your pleasant distractions.
Perhaps one day, I will
mean something.

mikefrawley:
I Choose to be a Gentle Warrior
I Refuse to live in a state of fear
I Choose to be alive this moment
I Refuse to worry about next year
I Choose to live a life of abundance
I Refuse to believe the illusion of lack
I Choose to do what I know is right
I Refuse to let anyone hold me back
I Choose to live in peace and love
I Refuse to suffer with anger and hate
I...
Not in isolation
rakuli:
Standing still,
I feel like I am falling, but
Moving forward,
Just makes me fall faster, and
Backing up,
Is delaying the impact, while
All around,
Each way is down, and I am
Going deaf,
From the absence of sound, but I
Still walk on,
As the world shoots up past me, for
This is life,
It happens to everyone.

One of the best things about Tumblr?
Discovering beautiful poems. :)

dead leaves.
thedustdancestoo:
the wind steals
autumn
from my fingers.
yellow and red
fragments
of broken figments,
dead leaves
falling away,
speckling the air;
the tiny pieces
of tomorrow’s sunrise
finding their way
home.

we are most alive in dreams: acid reflux →
wearemostaliveindreams:
we’re surrounded,
in sadness-
it hurts to sit
in the dark,
trying desperately
to think of things
that form a smile-
that show
the imperfections,
perfectly in our mouths.
we still have no words
g r o p i n g and f e e l i n g,
into nothing.
i’d pull out my teeth
and cut out my tongue
just to paint you,
a picture with my blood

indeception:
I need you to take the knife,
and toss it to the side.
I need you in my life
to provide me with a light.
A beacon of hope amongst
the trials of darkness, holding
me tight and telling me everything
will be alright, even if it’s not.
But most of all, I need you, because
you always seem to know what to
do. And, right now, I need to know
what to do. I need you.
More than...
Woah...
I totally forgot about tumblr… lol. Thank you, stranger - for talking about it with some other stranger in the light rail.
