surreal poetry

Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.

The Mummy
If you disturb my sleep, then you will awaken my curse. After you, I will creep, and do to you my worst. I am the ever-living.

Like A Seed You Saw Me Bury Myself And You Watched Me Grow… You Showed Me That Sometimes All A Person Needs Is A Hug… And All That A Hug Needs,

A precious gem that I have lost
Without love, there are no painful memories, Without hope, there is no despair. I've crossed every limit to forget you, Yet there's a search for you that never ends. Living with memories of you brings me peace, You never liked my smile, But you praised my serious face. Every time I was on the verge of breaking, you held me steady. Your honesty and innocence make you truly unique. I've upset you many times, But you forgave me each time. Even when my heart takes its final beat, You will still dwell in it. I found not just a friend but a brother, Who came to me like an angel. Meeting you for the first time was a memorable moment, Parting with you was a painful one. Even today, we are miles apart, Life’s paths are different, yet they continue. And still, deep within my heart, The search for you remains alive.

The Art Of Deception
One lie here, another lie there, no one seems to care. Without a couple enhancements there, would anyone even dare? The fragility hidden behind a strut of confidence, the power disguised by an intentional stutter, this is what makes up the game of life. Small details ever-changing, as we retell a story again and again. At what point do we wake up to realize the life we've imagined wasn't even there?

Smoke & Mirrors. Content Warning.
Oh dear God I've lost my mind. I am hungry for more, For satisfactory, For licking the glass ceiling, And crippling myself with pretty debt

Shooting Stars In The Sky
Shooting stars in the sky, The angels send tiny diamonds from heaven, Lighting the paths we travel.
