I've Had Enough of Corners by mikethemiller, literature

I've Had Enough of Corners
I've had enough of corners
And how definitive their points be
Can I not breath
Or stare at one who's not thee?
Please, oh vacuum
I wish to be free
And smell nature's honey
Direct from the bee
For only one night
Will you let me be me?
Never have I felt such bliss by mikethemiller, literature
Literature
Never have I felt such bliss
Never have I felt such bliss
As when winter wind swept you away
Though I longed for you to stay
And my heart, in turn, would fray
Fare thee well!
And begone 'till May
When flowers wake
For a honeybee's kiss
And life returns to warmth
While this love employs death's knell
For you shall never be
The one I'll miss
Oh Heart, my friend
Do not be sad
For I am always here
And I'll embrace you
In my chest
To make love dissapear
Forgive me, Heart!
The promise broke
I let you break again
Your trust
Is all I'm wanting now
To keep things how they've been

Literature
If Life is Loss, Then I have Won

But none can surpass you
Our painful past, now strangely gone
Fuels strives to start anew
But why is new so perfect, friend
The past is present too
This hist'ry weighs us to our end
So let it be untrue!
Turn night to day and hold her near
For she is but a clue
And he who learns from yester-year
Shall count pained mem'ries few

Literature
I, The Willow, Am Old and Wise
I, the willow, am old and wise
At least that's what these crows proclaim
Yet I think nothing of the same
Their hymns of truth are untrue lies
I cannot speak to those in pain
I only hear their helpless cries
Perhaps a shadow from bad skies
May be a purpose I contain
But still I question why they come
Why loved ones hate I can't explain
Leaves won't protect you from that rain
To your emotions, I am numb
Still...
I listen to your tales of fear
And learn what life has now become
Though I can't speak, for I am dumb
I'll give you nature's comfort here
Let beauty help you both escape
And wipe away your falling tear
That hateful world cannot get ne

Literature
So Let Now Be the End of Pain
So let now be the end of pain
My heart's unchained
My world
Though on the brink of disaster
Has stopped spinning
For one more moment
My lark, his wings healed,
Has finally perched
On a branch that will not break
No longer do you see my reflection
A tapestry you're accustomed to
A painting you may prefer
But still you embrace me
Protecting me from the sadness
You make life's reality stall
For one

moment
Yet, this heart stills sings
For no man is perfect
The pain will never cease to linger
But I remind this heart a fact
And my world will stop again
If your lark sings with mine
I will be happy
If your lark sings
Listen Heart!
I have little time for game
Your pain is overwhelming now
Your hope's transformed to shame
Your intrest's made furrowed brow
And love is not the same
Beating, Broken Heart by mikethemiller, literature
Literature
Beating, Broken Heart
Shall I grow accustomed to this pain
For I cannot alleviate the start
This lie is dead and sodden from the rain
So I am cursed with a beating, broken heart
Can a flower
Who knows the better
Deny the honey bee
her nectar
Can't she wait
for at least one night more
While others disperse
their nestling spore
Can she continue
To cling to this youth
Or must she surrender
to a wasp so uncouth

I mournfully hug you one last time,
squeezing tightly because you are mine.
You are my absolute best friend,
but I can't help but feel this is the end.
The end of daily doses,
of spilling our inner emotions.
The end of deep morning talk
and crazy runs around the block.
The end of weekly drama
because others are on their "comma".
The end of dancing in swing
and the joy you always bring.
It feels like my foundation
is gone, leaving only hesitation.
But I know in my heart
that saying goodbye in only a start.
This is NOT the end;
I could never leave my friend
without knowing there is a way
for our strong bond to stay.
This separation is not
I’ve been chasing this storm for miles,
Not yet ready to let its beauty escape me.
Caught up in the power and grace
As it makes its own path, totally free.
I’m miles from home in a deserted field
Sitting on the hood with my camera and notebook.
After making my initial observations
I couldn’t let it get away, I was hooked.
I followed the storm everywhere
Too afraid to let it go on alone.
But as it continues to run from me,
I follow it farther and farther from home.
It strays further and further down the road,
And I watch as fear wells up inside.
Am I destined to follow this storm forever,
Chasing it as it wanders far and
Take my pain
Take my tears
Take my struggles
Take my fears
Just steal them from me
I don’t want them
You can have all that you want
I don’t want them
It’s all too much
I can’t suffer anymore
You’d take my pain
Isn’t that what you swore?
So why is it
Why is it still here?
Why am I still hurting?
Why do I still live in fear?
Where are you to save me?
Where have you disappeared to?
You’re the one thing that I need
Where, oh where are you?
Why have you left me
To do this on my own?
Why am I standing here
In this mess alone?
I need you to save me
Now, before it’s too late
Take my pain, take my
by Caryn Twamley-Kayser
Echoing waves crashing in my ears -
a tidal force spurred by the pounding timpani in my chest.
Its reverberations, the earthquake:
in my fingers - struggling as they do their graceless dance on the piano keys;
the aftershock:
in my feet as they aimlessly pound the ground, seeking the pedal in vain.
Brain responding in syncopated rhythm -
undulations of lightening strikes behind the pulsing migraine in my right eye.
I swallow hard against the sandy dessert of my dune-filled throat,
fighting against the symphonic storm my senses summon.
How can hours of practice compete against this?
Yet every nerve remains too tightly
