velvetpuddles Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The Lonely Dance. A starless skirt that dances Sublime exposition. Rosed lips of poison Ambrosial apple. Sun-stained locks Spiderweb of goddesses. A blighted riddle Beyond the twinkling globes Cries The foolish plea. Dance with me, dear moonlight. Spin the stars around us. Don't let the blooming sun. Destroy us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetpuddles Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 How do your roots grow in the mold? You told me the soil was fresh. Your leaves brushed through my hair. They combed the knots underneath. They tangled the locks as they twisted in the wind. How do your branches not bend? I told you the sun-lit crown was damaged.. 3:18am. Apparently I'm in some kind of mood. Brain won't stop thinking of situations and emotions as nature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Look me in the eyes Stare into the emerald abyss With a lemon ring of fire Circling the well of dirt Sunflowers in my hand Thorns cling to the stems But they're not your favorite Oh misdirected sun The weedy dandelion Yellow sprouts in a day You like simplicity As a black thumb Lacks tenderness Wrapped in barbs Reaching for the roots I thought my favorite thing Lived in the puzzles Checkmate my friend The sunflowers never win Weeds overpower As the sour greens crumbled to the earth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Your song. Unknown quakes rumble in the deep Under God's avenging waves There aren't enough oxygen tanks for him to chart the song Though it trembles to be heard Must she sing in the dark To be heard by her own ears When he promises to be there for the matinee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 When I harm, When I cry Your starlight silhouette Guided me to the center The core The crux Of time Where the atoms vibrated In concert with the rest We laid in peace Pulsing together. The world disintegrated when the sun woke Shining on the falls of yesterday. That's it. Thus concludes my Friday-centic, imbalanced, and musically-tainted ramblings. My mind was possessed tonight, and I could only think in lines. Probably all trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He stood before galaxies And captured the sparkling dust in a jar As he did with fireflies When he ran through the tall grass behind a tired sun. He didn't know then That dust belonged to her It dripped and drifted When it's crestfallen universe collapsed in the dark. As the fireflies of a bygone era suffered The abuses of a curious stranger Her celestial sparks withered As his jar laid Abandoned in the frost-tipped grass While he ran from the blustery chill to fire inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I liked you, you know As I did you, and you, and you And you Sparked a match on my thigh against the moonless chill I thought we'd savor the warmth Huddled together in the flames Every fire burns the relics of life Shriveled and dehydrated And I stood before you bare Sparked and flaming You thought fires were fun And needed to start another The flesh of my thigh raw and spent It's of no use to another match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfinding Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) On the precipice of my cells lie another place, Teaching me the meaning of another person, Woven in my innards with worms I procreate, Into the ground they abide my lesson to worsen, Alive inside me I'm still no closer to ancient history, Looking into it's map of the night sky I recognize, Constellations of God's disgust upon you and me, Reprise that the flesh is willing but the spirit dies, There is an obvious space between my electrons, And the dawn that spawns another revolution on.

glfinding Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Pressed against my pen lies a body of material thought, Addicted to my attic space I look for the verbage of ascendancy, Focused on what I might get once the audience has not, Right up in a face I write the elecric internet effigy, Describing the foundation of my philosophical core, Feeling what I must, it must be some kind of divination plan, Focused for when I close my eyes and then open the door, Put it to paragraph marking this place to be a part of my hand, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kogent5 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Decluttering and threw out some high school art I did. This was probably the best of the lot. Can't remember when I did it and no emotional attachment tho. I have such a hard time getting rid of art, stuff I've written, even though a lot of times it makes me embarrassed to read or look at again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetpuddles Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I hope it's okay to just link to my gallery. I just uploaded 7 new paintings and it's really annoying to link individually from my phone! https://www.depressionforums.org/forums/gallery/album/1408-me-and-my-life/ These encompass my painting activity since the last time I posted paintings a couple months ago, all except one of sunflowers, which was done specifically for someone. Aside from the snow leopard, I've been veering straight into abstract. It's just fun and soothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this completely. I'm usually completely embarrassed by my art and writing. But I'm trying to show it all anyway and figure out how to get some confidence and pride in myself, haha. Lovely painting, though! I really like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfinding Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Fleeting with our universe, Are the rocks that built us, Electric in their isolation, Concrete in their energy, How much of my cigarette, Came from a star? Wondering how things, Seem to simply separate you, From me, praise the stench, From the words I put through, A meat grinder avalanche, Sweating me like an early morning, Learning from the mourning, Disconcerting my hyper vigilance, With the eyes of Angels from above, Does their vision stretch the entire sky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfinding Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Awed by paintings. You are seriously talented. They are all very nice. The Thaw and Ghosts are my fav :).

glfinding Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Casting the reflection of my words, Of the things that give birth to thought, A moment at a time for each syllable, I can tell you the things I never forgot, Silver line synergy harness the darkness, Finding your lack of faith disturbing, Picture isn't perfect eye for an eye, Heart to heart focused idea turning, Holding it inside my endless paragraph, Seperating it for a single time in space, Seems to be getting me into stream, Moving me into my favorite place, Psychic decision romantic victim, Tear this into another one released, Put it inside and send it up higher, Acknowledged recently deceased, Stay in the moment but fleet away, Orbit in rotation of the burning light, Does the verbiage sound colorful, Insightful a second too soon tonight.

SugaredSloth Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I buckle ‘em up so tight in the backseat, just in case I only cry when I know they can’t see my face Don’t want to let them see their mother’s shattered heart So I close the doors and turn away and fall apart Sometimes I want to scream but I can’t breathe Sometimes the tears stream as cars weave Sometimes my head gets so dizzy that I can’t see Sometimes I wish the wheel would slip and it would end me So I buckle ‘em up tight in the backseat, just in case Just in case... just in case 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
