It Doesn't Grow on Trees by mleeh, literature

Literature

It Doesn't Grow on Trees

… Happiness is but a fevered pipe dream Dreamt from the opiate fueled binges Binging on the musings of pyrite gilded artists Artistry illustrated with silver tongue slips Slipping the canvas bag over jaded pupils Pupil of the little white lie knight Knighted by the alchemist’s blade Blades of power bestowed upon the royal Royalty shrouded in mists of suffering Suffer the rue of vicious overlords Lording the land with stolen goods and coins Coining their own right to be Happy…

The Beast We Fight Inside by mleeh, literature

Literature

The Beast We Fight Inside

The tinge of red, the ferrous taste of blood. Sensory overload has caused the brain to flood. The bull inside scrapes his horns on the ground, When he comes out, you don’t want to be around. Stampeding across my brain, the rage tramples my thought, Cornering the last bit of logic, in the bulls pen, it is caught. To the left - no escape; To the right - no end in sight. Stare into the eyes of the devil and you will see Fires beyond man’s mind capability to feel. This beast is anything but human, Roaming and feeding upon the weak. Thriving and striving to overtake The last bit of good will in haste. When the last of the blood drains

A Colorless Sky/A Silent Concerto by mleeh, literature

Literature

A Colorless Sky/A Silent Concerto

I often shake my head, As if to shake off the shame. An image of beauty, So falsely corrupted. Mirror mirror on the wall, I am clearly the fairest of all. Symptomatic presentations, Of vanity’s egregious founder. One word, two words Ambiguous rue. Three words, four words Philistine metaphor. The soul’s contents Spill out of Pandora’s box. The heart’s intentions Not withheld by a single utterance. The starving artist makes their way Fame and fortune come when they go away. Riches not begot by the cries of the neonate, Rather, bestowed upon the artisan. Class in simplicity Maintained by the impulsive. Beauty in a work o

Someday

Prose to paint the picture Melody to fill the space Harmony in ambivalence Chaos and perfection Lifetime's a measure But soul knows no bounds Live for tomorrow Endure through the day Legends take time, but Word of mouth will never fade Patience will soon one day pay Even if the bricks and mortar degrade The lost are most loved When they realize what they've missed The lucky will heed The strong will see The word will live on And the legacy never gone

Spark of Inspiration by mleeh, literature

Literature

Spark of Inspiration

A lone sparrow flits across my field of vision – A statement of solitude. A beautiful woman steps from her Porsche – Image is power. The world is wonder, the world is awe. Full of the deepest blues and lightest reds. Satellites trekking vigilantly across the otherwise barren night sky – Privacy? The last leaf flapping dangerously from its’ limb – A slow and painful death. See the details, watch the movement. Respect the beauty and revere the natural law. Barges of ice floating graciously on the frigid black lake – Impossible is nothing. The pink hue of an 864,000 mile wide fiery ball setting beyond the moun

Counting by mleeh, literature

Literature

Counting

Counting the days, Counting the ways. She blessed me, She kissed me. Counting minutes and hours, Counting on the heart’s great powers. Each time my lips curl in delight, Each time ours meet in lovely might. When the wisps of wings float inside, When the tickling tingles miraculously arrive. I know it’s there. I know she cares. She hugged and squeezed me, She held and eased me. Bringing light to each day, In her own unique way. When my anger begins to cloud, She quells the rage the day’s aroused. When the world bares it’s burden upon my back, She steals the weight away, just so I can relax. I know she’s

Infinitum by mleeh, literature

Literature

Infinitum

Here I am again, Scraping and rattling and wringing my brain again, Accompanied by my only friends again. Trying to find light in the midnight hour again. Here I am again. Wondering where time went and then, I realize it's all a sham and then I shake it off because I'm doing it again. Taking myself down a notch and then, Another and another and another again. I don't know why I do this again, This cycle never ends, It just happens over and over and over again...

Unstoppable by mleeh, literature

Literature

Unstoppable

The sun is out to shine, I’m feelin’ good in mind, No rainy day to shut down my feel-good parade. Dark clouds make your way through the jetstream, The rays of light just keep on shinin’ on me. It’s like one of those days where it all goes right, It’s one of those times you feel you just might, Take off like a jet in flight, take yourself to brand new heights. Eyes on the prize, I’ll show you the true meaning of surprise, When I blow your mind, don’t say I was unkind. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, It’s not just to scorn you, I just have to let the music flow from inside, Gotta show o

The Creed by mleeh, literature

Literature

The Creed

With the weight of the world crushing our backs A modern day Atlas like a blast from the past. We don’t resign to your life of pity or shame, We stand up and give you a reason to remember our name. Our mothers and fathers raise and support us, But in this world we can’t even afford this. Autonomy is the name of the game, On our own two feet – it’s the only way To rise above, to transcend one day. It’s not where you came from, it’s not who you know. It’s what you love and what you loathe. We shape ourselves from the clay of the gods, Shapeless forms whose destiny is at odds. We carve our path and scu

Battles Forlorn by mleeh, literature

Literature

Battles Forlorn

What is the desire? What is the draw? Where do we draw the line? Where do we fall? The life of the few is drowned by the many. Two can become one and one will be split into two. When there is light there will always be dark. Worlds can crash down and all will unglue. Tumultuous upheaval surrounded by fire. Simultaneous water shed eclipses the destruction. After the world has crashed and all has ruined, We begin the survey and the reconstruction. What began as a dance of joy, Became quickly a war dance. Neighboring tribes found disarray, As if a world torn by romance. The bloodshed was quick But painful is not the right word.

Autumnal Equinox by mleeh, literature

Literature

Autumnal Equinox

You know when the time comes, Around and about, Youll look back on this black mark. I will be long gone by then, And you will be stuck. This is a conscientious objection, An utter betrayal. When a heart breaks down It rebuilds around its new surroundings. Trees of trust, grass of generosity. Summer turns to winter and the cycle ensues. Now only sticks of scorn and blades of betrayal, Are left in the wake of the cold front that passed over. Retreat to your winter holes, hibernate your life away. This raptor will fly south for the winter. Cool weather and cool temperaments. Life and beauty. Escape the death and despair that sur

Hopeful Hero

Soon will come the day, You'll put your mask away. You'll take what you were given, And all sins will be forgiven, Soon will come the day, You'll cease to fade away. You'll be the one you've always wanted to be You'll be that hero that all may come to see. One chance can make the difference, One moment can change a life, One second to prove this instant, You won't follow the same old plight, One day you'll find your path, You'll leave a memory that lasts. And until that day comes, Just know that you're the one. Seize the day your time has come, Take this second and start to run. Put the past behind your back,
