Truth in a Picture

by: Ronovan

You call me beautiful with your glance.

I get that a lot.gettyimages © Original Photo by nikkivanoostende.com

You like my eyes with their vacant stare

I don’t see you.

You see sexy in them, don’t you?

I see through you.

You say I have the perfect little nose.

I breathe, just.

You want to kiss my full red lips.

They sigh, barely.

I despise being an image for men to want.

nikkivanoostende - CopyYou want me.

My eyes are vacant from being broken.

You don’t see.

I feel dirty and used and pained by him.

You see sexy.

I barely breathe when he hurts me.

You love my nose.

My lips bleed without a scream.

You want them.

Waves of Healing

Waves of Healing

by: Ronovan

 Sunshine rains down waves,

Spreading life to weary minds,

Heals yesterday’s wounds.

Sand to Rock

Sand to Rock

by: Ronovan

 

The waves surge and pound breaking the grains of sand

The grains ride and swirl until, just surviving, the waves retreat

They settle…briefly, knowing the waves will return.

 

Words are spoken, the waves retreat, and calm is instilled

The grains settle once again, but this time they gather together

No waves will come that will break them apart

 

Solid as the rock they settled on

My Own Heart’s Irritation

My Own Heart’s Irritation

by: Ronovan

My heart strings are a weapon

Used secretly in stealth

They cause confusion and destruction

And deranged mental health

You look at all the forensics

You say there’s no crime

This ain’t no OJ

There’s no fix in this time

piccerella man peeking

 You spend just a moment

Just to catch a breath

Those strings get to tuggin’

Causing a cerebral death

Stop just a second wait

It’s all that is needed

But no oh no

The words fall as they’re pleaded

 Extra Extra read all about it

The explosion has come

Yeah the heart strings

I’ve been hamstrung

Why so surprised by that comment

Who did you think was the victim in this situation

What body could be harmed

By my own hearts irritation

Eternal Flame of Hypocrisy

Eternal Flame of Hypocrisy

by: Ronovan

You think it’s okay to be a speaker

Talking like life is a way to tranquility

You sit in a bubble like a dying gold fishPM Images

Submerged in a self produced lake of . . . hypocrisy

 

You wallow in your own

You taste what you’ve created

Does it make you as ill as those you’ve fed

That’s right, I’m talking about all the garbage that you’ve said

 

You cheat and speak incomplete

You have people following desperate for knowledge

Hurt minded hearts who done flunked out of life college

Here it is, now I speak plain, when comes the end . . . you’ll be an eternal flame . . .  in Hell.

 

Just sayin’.

 

Peace and Love to the Lost

Ranting does nothing,

When you have no direction,

You will lose your way.

Cricket Chirps and Concrete Keeps

Cricket Chirps and Concrete Keeps

by: Ronovan

 Backporch Light

Do you remember back when

Back before childhood went to sleep

You know back when the crickets would chirp

Way way out in the forest so deep

 

Real glass bottles of fizz

Flavored orange or grape

You could stay outside

Way way past late

 

Fireflies would blink

They challenged the stars

They were way easier to catch

Way way easier by far

 

You didn’t need anybody

You could sit outside alone

No one would bother you

Way way far from a phone

 

It’s hard to remember back when

Back before childhood went to sleep

I don’t hear the chirp of the crickets

Way way far from this concrete keep

One More Year Old Feels Like Ten

One More Year Old Feels Like Ten

by: Ronovan

 One Candle

One more year older

This last one felt like ten

I wonder why I go through it

Was it punishment for a sin

 

Yeah, I know, don’t worry

I’m just talking out loud

I know the good Lord don’t do that

He done took him up in a cloud

 

But still I don’t mind asking

Why, why did all of this happen

A year of my life has done gone

And a steady tap on the brain keeps tappin’

 

You would think I would get used to it

Waking without a solitary clue

But how do you grow accustom

To something that every day is new to you

 

Hmm . . . Yeah, I know it’s all good

I got my health and home and something

Haha, the health is the something

That I’m certain must be the crunching

 

One more year older

The next will feel like ten

I know it was the Enemy

That tries to drag me into the den

 

I must have been on the right track

Cause the Enemy don’t worry with those

That are already with him

He worries about those who are his foes

 

And to that I say Amen

Moonlight bathes the sea,

With beams of silver kisses,

The night slips away.

Brilliant George

Brilliant George

Dearest George,
I must admit a fondness for your brilliance. You shine in the sun with metallic glints. But it makes me wonder though, why you are valued at only 25 cents.

Much Admiration

Spikes and Smiles

Spikes and Smiles

by: Ronovan

 

Dull railroad spikes through the cracks

Driven constantly as if driven by insanity

Days go by in countless fogs of phantoms

Drifting in and out of vague humanity

 

Ever wanting to continue onward in smiles

Enters pressing of matter into the prickling race

Even the muscles of effort to upturn lips

Engraves lines of pain on tender skinned face

Destiny is sweet,

When sunshine plays upon smiles,

Shadows show frown lines.

Monkey Bars

Monkey Bars

Monkey Bar

They say the place is a real swinging joint

There is hardly a place for any cars

So why is the place so popular you ask

Because of Darwinian laws they now have monkey bars

A School’s End with Gratitude

I love the drawing. This is from a real teacher as well. Speaking from real life. Welcome her to the community. Okay that picture is just so cute. (Yes I said ‘so cute;, what of it?”

Crafting with Kate's avatarDazzling Whimsy

Two more days of school and another year has ended

Time flies always moving and changing

Some students cheer

Some secretly express they could keep coming

Note cards are given and pictures drawn

All thanking and well wishing

While each is special and will be cherished

The one that moved this old teacher to become teary

Was the simple gesture of a clasped finger and a quiet voice

Eyes not looking

Body rocking

Hand flapping

I love you Ms. whispered

Afraid to be Nice

Afraid to be Nice

by: Ronovan

 Afraid

 

I tried to be nice

But I was told it might not be that way

It’s not that I was bad

It’s not that I did wrong or was anything I had to say

 

But for a heart wearer

Who has lost how the world may work

Things can be breaking

When chastised remotely I feel like a jerk

 

You say get over it

And I will try in my time and way

But live in my shoes

The hurt is the only thing that will stay

 

Now I question everything I do

Will I write the wrong word or comment

Will I use the wrong image

All these doubts and questions spin in a torrent

 

I am a dweller

I live in the heart of emotion

I cannot shake it

My heart is my devotion

My poetry Tears at Me

My poetry Tears at Me

by: Ronovan

 Lost Man in Chair

 

I’m sorry my words don’t speak in romantic filled embraces.

My language is built from elementary understanding of feelings.

I attempt to translate my true thoughts into a message to convey.

Above all my words are meant for my own wounds’ self healings.

 

My page opens with clear intent for a jovial sharing.

By the second word typed the mindlessness takes control.

It’s not that things don’t make me laugh or I find comical.

But in my world the only thing full of ideas is the crazy bowl.

 

Left to my own creative and undirected devices I stray.

What comes out of my fingertips are words that I never would share.

I wonder sometimes what the powers that be would do with them.

But I push the letters in their neat little rows and print them as if I didn’t care.

 

Therapy of the mind and heart is what some people call poetry.

For me it’s the feeling of razor blades over delicate skin tearing at me.

I lay here exposed and bleeding as the words and thoughts force their way free.

But whatever people may say of this they know I must be what I am to be.

Without Sight

Image

Without sight the world is beautiful

The colors are vivid and splendid

There are no scars or separations

Sounds dictate truths, not words or faces

 

Without sight the world is of equality

All are equal in shape and form

Talent is through more than aesthetic ability

Depth is worthy of the awards and accolades

 

Without sight the world is eternal

There is no horizon or stars

Words and inflections give tangibility

Limits are limited only by the imagination

 

Without sight the world is immediate

There is no looking back or ahead

One step in front of the other

One word spoken after another

 

Without sight the world is beautiful

 


 

(after a major accident I had to live with dark sunglasses from wake up to sleep and even then most of my hours were with my eyes closed, the world was beautiful but lonely)

Without Sound-A Poem

GentleTouch.jpg

Without Sound by: Ronovan

 

Without sound there are no shouts

The angry face is a twisted stain

Left impressed upon a catalogued mind

Filled with slavering jabbering paintings

 

Without sound there are no voices

Smiling lady with purple dress

Man with cheap cologne

Little girl with bashful eyes

 

Without sound there are no divides

Intelligence in action

Kindness in being

Nationality in humanity

 

Without sound there is music

Hearts beating against one another

Vibrations of a touch echoing

Pounding of blood with the rush of love

 

Without sound actions speak louder than words

Superstitious of a Day

Superstitious of a Day

by: Ronovan

(I had pars of Superstition by Stevie Wonder going through my brain while writing this, if you want the beat.)

 Friday 13th

Your superstitious mind

Keeps trippin’ up your brain

Keep on believin’

It’ll slowly drive you insane

 

Things do happen

They happen all the time

Don’t you keep worrying

Or you’re going to lose your mind

 

You’re very contradictions

So intellectually inclined

But come a day with a number

Your reason I cannot find

 

You’re so superstitious

Keep trippin’ in your brain

Baby keep believin’

And you’ll end up insane
