Colours by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Colours

Colours I sit with a blind man As we eat our sandwiches, I with tuna, his jam. We chew in silence, When suddenly he turns to me, And asks, "What are colours like?" I pause. "There is red," I eventually say, "ever-burning. Think rage, and heat, and pain, Think never-ending anger, the boiling away of a setting sun, the vengeance of a lover spurned. Punishment. And passion." "But there must be more?" He wonders. "Yes. There is blue. Feel cool calm trickle over your mind like a tap unclosed. Tranquility, your most peaceful moment. Hear a thought skimming over water, Lazily letting its feet skim the surface, With no worries. T

Blood Money by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Blood Money

Blood Money BAM! The row of locker doors clanged as Johnny slammed into them, my fists curled inwards against his shirt. I stared down at him and bared my teeth, knowing that the gym was empty except for us. My shoes squeaked against the polished floor as I lifted him up. "I'm not gonna ask you again, weed," I growled, "so give me some money for my lunch." He whimpered as he shook his head, and his lower lip began to tremble. I felt guilty, but I needed the money, after having left my own on the bus. Besides, this was how things worked at St. Peter's. He began to wheeze, and tried to grab the inhaler in his pocket. "All right, shut up, you

Confusion by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Confusion

Screaming, yelling, Choking, aching, What's going on inside my head? The hurt, I can't explain away With fact or logic. I wish I could. The world is cruel, it seems, Desires of men the playthings of devils, I'm tossed to the flames.... I SCREAM! and scream again, Confusion fused into my heart, Though not seamless, no, not simple. But what I'd give for a life Straightforward and simple, A connect-the-dots existence, I dream of. Where every Choice is the right one, all Decisions safe. Not this Ever-fluctuating opposite. I feel like crying, cursing, dying, Why can't I, of all, Know whats right & wrong? I give up. I give i

No Longer Here by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

No Longer Here

(Verse 1) I never knew, That there'd be these endless nights Without you. I never thought, That we'd pass those happy months, Our time so short. And all my tears, and all the Heart-broken years, ahead of me, No longer here. You always said We would be together till the very end. You always found A way to cheer me up again, when I was down. And all my fears, for all the Up-coming years, away from you, No longer here. (Chorus) No longer here, And I'm missing your sweet touch Beside me. No longer here, And I feel so alone. No longer here, Keep on wishing that this pain Would leave me. No longer here, And I'm missing a

Long Walk Home by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Long Walk Home

(Verse 1) Walking down a road, Walking down a road, And I don't know where I'm going. No I don't know where I'm going, Just so long as it ain't near here. And I'm off to a different place where, Place where I can be free from this nightmare. I feel trapped and alone When you are there. I have got to escape. I'm leaving for a better life... (Chorus) 'Cause I'm free and alive, And I'm feeling strong and, I just don't give a damn About you. As I head on my way, It's gonna be a long walk home. You can sit back and cry, See, I no longer care, You tried to hold me down And I just can't stand it no more. Now I'm running away f

Lost Moments by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Lost Moments

Blue skies of fading pink, Moonlight stroking through, Stars unreal flicker in the skies. He sets off briskly down the path, Cold air surrounding him, hands buried Beneath the fur of his coat, Silence but for the ringing in his ears, And his leather boots crunching through The dying leaves beneath him, ever brown. He glances up, breath quickens, A sight unfolds, a woman sitting, Patiently waiting for him by the shimmering lake, His pace quickens and he reaches out, But somehow she gets further away, Too far to touch. He breaks into a sprint now, The trees beckon towards him, Howling wind whips at his eyes And he cannot see,

Family Tree by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Family Tree

Family Tree I had a mother Whose freckled arms Would beckon down homely hallways Now bare and dusty. I had a father too And a large enough house. An unshaven face home to his smile, Living now far out of reach. "Home" is a little-used word From a mouth turned dry, Emotions empty, The blank slate of a mind. After seven years Scars fade, tears halt, Two busy parents No longer there to hold a hand. Two sisters too, A kaleidoscopic family, Mother, Father, Siblings All over the place. Friends are family now. Lasting longer, forever there.

Pocket Lint Of The Sky by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Pocket Lint Of The Sky

Pocket Lint Of The Sky Deep in the pockets of the sky Bouncing about, They roll back and forth, Like waves in an ocean. Fluffy lint hover, Dazzling white and murky grey, Endless fields floating away To get stuck in a mountain's pinch. They envelope the sun with their Smothering caress, Everywhere and nowhere, Bound to nothing but the space around. Deep in the pockets of the sky, Fluffy lint hover, Dust of the rivers. Wisps below the stars.

A Tin Man by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

A Tin Man

A tin man stood up and acknowledged the world. Happiness cheered him. Curiosity intrigued him. Interest taught him. Beauty attracted him. Determination drove him. Music played upon him. Friendship calmed him. Kindness shaped him. The tin man traveled everywhere, To the highest points and the lowest depths. He made friends, Helped enemies, Learnt many things that fueled the Flames of his curiosity so. The tin man slowly went through each positive emotion, Laughing every step of the way, His eyes sparkling with happiness, His heart complete, His innocence untouched. Until he came across Love, And Love broke him. No

Time Flies at a Standstill by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Time Flies at a Standstill

Surprising how fast time flies, Yet seems to stand still for two people, Arm in arm, Oblivious to the crowd, The movings of the world around them. No, all that matters to them is that single moment. The clear tear that slides down her pale cheek, The ghost of a sad smile upon his face. A single kiss, lasting both forever yet only a flicker of time. Those two people stood in the crowd, Oblivious to the world, And cherished the moment they had together one last time.

Sunrise of Tomorrow by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Sunrise of Tomorrow

We crossed that marble floor Together, Left the building hand-in-hand. Our shoes playfully danced across the ground, Brother with Sister, As we reached the crossing. I gazed fondly into her young hazel-brown eyes, Letting her run on ahead, her clear laughter echoing A loving note through my heart. But then, woe betide, my darling sister stopped In the road to wave at her taller sibling whom she Looked up to so. I saw the bright red bus screeching down the hot tarmac. I saw my sister laughing at me to hurry up, eyes full of life. So I acted. Now I'm lying on the ground, Ice cold settling on my shattered bones. My sister's tea

I Carry my Heart in a Suitcase by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

I Carry my Heart in a Suitcase

I carry my heart in a suitcase, Taking it everywhere I go, Saving it for someone special, someone, somewhere, Where it will be safe, kept, treasured, Someone I trust, For my most precious gift, But until then, I bolt the case, throw away the key, Protect my heart from pain, To keep myself together, I look after my weakest muscle, My bleeding sentiments, Forever separate from my mind and choices. Because I fear pain, Dread losing my heart once again, forever, I fear for my heart, my affections, my feelings, So fragile That they may yet still shatter into a million fragments, To leave me with, but an empty shell in my cupped hands.

Drown in a Shower by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Drown in a Shower

The hot droplets cascade upon her rosy red cheeks, As she tries to drown herself in a shower, Drown the sadness she can not escape, Her eyes already blurred with tears, Her skin already burned from the heat, Her legs already buckling from the sorrow, Her heart already throbbing with the unbearable pain of loss. She misses his touch, The feel of his breath on her skin And the whispers of devotion murmured in her ears. She envisions his face, his dark black hair, His dimples and blemishes, his faults and flaws, And misses him so. The water slides down her bare back to arrive at her painted toes, But she cares not. The heat sears

Going Nuts with Sanity by blue-tomatos, literature

Literature

Going Nuts with Sanity

What more to say, That has not been said? I'm tearing in two, My opinions divided, A heart bisected, A creeping sickness, Settling on me, I know the truth, I can't admit it, It hurts to think, What more to say? What more to think, That has not been thought? Whispering voices, creeping notions, A realisation too painful to accept, I'm going crazy, I can't handle this, An itch in me I can't scratch, My eyes sting with tears, It won't be long, But perhaps if I ignore it, Everything will sort out... What more to think? What more to feel, That has not been felt? If this is life, how much worse is death? If this is pain, ho
