#shut poems on Hello Poetry

Zipper

Zip my mouth
Lock the chain
Keep me from staying sane
Zip me up,
Just like that
My mouth is shut
Fast as the drop of a hat.

The prettiest dream

With such ceaseless light falling from heaven on my late shut eyes,
I encountered the other half of my soul in the golden woods.
It sparkled and made me almost blind.
It was you, my love, I never want to lose,
The prettiest dream, I never want to awake...

The Breakthrough

In my head again
fighting a battle
I know I can't win.

Shut down or stand up,
never good enough.
Insecurities.

Conceding no more,
hesitation gone,
I've settled the score.

Look in the mirror,
dismiss my disguise.
Fierce and Strong I rise.

Still pretty new to poetry and trying different styles. This one I believe is called syllabic verse and contains 5 syllables per line. Thank you for reading hope you enjoy it. Thank you to all whom love and support me. Special thanks to my husband, children, brother and friends (S.M., C.H. and anyone else I forgot.) Thank you C. Love for the revising suggestions and Gretchen Miller for the title.

Company

Glued shut lids
Mouth sealed tight
Key locked in your heart
Don't show yourself

Made all the mistakes
Bounded to those times

Still life in disguised
to blend until some time has passed

Leaving the past
Like a faded memory
that echoes in and out of my ears

Thoughts of you leaves echoes...

Glued shut lids
Mouth sealed tight
Key locked in your heart
Don't show yourself

Out

Sometimes I feel like the world is shutting me out.

clocked out

the days aren't the same anymore
you were there with me under the warm sun
I thought I could soar --
I felt the love
but things got dark and now it was done

as they do the sunny days gave way to dismal rain

I shut the doors, I locked them
I shut my eyes -- clocked out
my mind
I said goodbye
to tomorrow and gave way to the pain

Dark

Darling,
In the world outside,
It's dark.

Keep the doors of your heart shut.

Shut Your Mouth & Disengage| Realize the Potential of Your Own Insignificance

If you die tonight,
which god's gonna save you?

I don't believe in a one.

So, you're telling me
you're God, now? You're nothing.

I don't believe in nothing.
Was there meaning in my birth
besides two ******* twenty somethings
playing at love games?

What's the point of human life
when existence is pointless?

Full potential of the pointed mind,
free as it can be, to discern & decide.

Are you warrior,
or are you peacewalker?

Are those the only options?

It separates us,
angel kin & demon.

Circumstantial evidence.
The urge in your eyes to **** is missing.
If we're drawing those lines in the dirt,
I see love in you.
You don't deify or deny -

- here you killed to serve,
yet we're exchanging words.

The End.

Thank you.

Shut Your Mouth & Disengage| Edge of Terms

Loathe
Power verb
Direct, yes
Though,
Verbose is
How I wrote

Still I write in open circles
Even I don't know what I mean. Trust.
Looping back, is there not an artistry in that?

Together
Adjective for the ages
Cut to form,
Don't get me wrong,
It sounds fitting
With the way you lead your life.

Your confines.

Look at all my fitted pieces.
I bend the lines with word as waveform.
Looping back,
Fulfilling is
As useless
As it is
Useful

Shut Your Mouth & Disengage| Discordant

Spider on the wall in a shower stall
Immobilized

Skeleton to the end, a somber mule
Beast of burden

Each successive time I claim
I'm in a balanced state

Surprise!
Psychoses.
