About an absent heartache.
Going to sleep and dreaming are two different things. You can't always sleep, but you can always dream. Me :D
Well you only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go, Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, Only hate the road when you're missing home, Only …
Why is it that I can never get mistletoe and a pretty girl in the same place?!
What's in a word That hasn't already been said, Sometimes there are no ways to describe how I feel So they stay sadly inside my head, No poem or rhyme, Can save the time, Or convey the scene, Oh words define words It's all they mean, So whe…
anywhere but here.
Forever and a day, Those words I dream, The simple thing to say, Or so it would seem, You're not like the rest, Yet only I can see, You never settle for second best, So why settle for me? Together we stand, Divided we fall, So give me your …
A kiss beneath the mistletoe.
I'm not alone beneath the emerald pine, I'm with the girl whose heart is mine.
Once more I lay down to sleep, Dreaming of things I long to keep, Your touch or smile or maybe a kiss, Those things when waking I do sorely miss, If only I could sleep and dream forever, You and I eternally together, But it cannot happen re…
But merely a heart aching fool.
And multiple breaks, My mind gone soul nowhere, Trembling life oh how it quakes, I dreamt a dream, But yet it's real Little thought stream, Hopeful me to steal, No recovery possible, Just live without one, Empty space Nothingness begun, She…
Pinball dance, Bicycle trance, Climbing trees Grazing knees, Muddied shoes Homework clues, Lollipop smile Playtime while, Kiss chase Secret place, Rewind the clocks And undo all the locked up locks, Go back in time Forget lemon and lime, S…
"Friends?" she smiles Biting her lip and twirling her hair, I stand victim of trials, Object for eyes to lock and stare, My gift to you lies at my feet, My heart lays shattered, It's embrace you did not greet, My love for you is battered, A…
Start composing what? What indeed mr Opuss? Your paw print stamped on the page asking for more, Expecting gold, Gifts of words and stories left untold, Curled around my shoulder you great Cheshire cat, Smiling while I squirm For something o…
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." Martin Luther King, Jr.
And then shattered it, Thank you.
BOO!
I am hopeless, I am the underground gentleman, I am the person who holds the door open whom you ignore, I am the one who smiles when there is nothing to smile about, I listen to others and help instead of talking about my problems, I am the…
The soulmate of retro.
Eyes so blue. Deeper than any ocean. Easy to drown in. They had been apart for longer than anticipated. Lips so red. More luscious than any fruit. He was breathing, always a good sign. The air was electric with it. Her scent, her voice, he …
And pearly snow white teeth, And summer dreams of south, I have tenderly kissed those lips I have yet missed. The last blow to my heart.
And keep me reeling. Let me have one chance One night with you One last first dance.
That is why I'm here, Right now this second, You did this, You came to my one space of freedom and silence, And you woke me. The beach was my scene, It still is, I'm just not there right now, Surfing my thoughts, The warm waves of dreams An…
When you can say that she is better when you can say that she is happier and when you can say that she doesn't want to be with me, that is the time that I will stop liking her but until then I will think of her every day and smile whenever …
Your eyes beat like butterfly wings, the bluest things I've ever seen, And deeper than any sea, We swim into the depths of the earth, Pushing the boundaries and setting the scene, We set the trend for others to echo, We make the pace for o…
The light. The bulbs of hope and pleasure. We stand in the store, one of us talking with a manager whilst the rest keep watch. They disappear into a back room for a second then reemerge. We quickly rush out the shop and sprint down the side…
in hidden ports, Those lemonade days, In sepia and rainbow, Our vintage lives and golden ways, Back when we dare not take it slow, Daisies and poppies scent the breeze, Summers of love and plenty ease, Lemonade days and soda dreams, When lo…
This is it. The big one. Onederland. One night a week, one night longer than any other, one night better than any other. This place is it. Just so crazy, funky and stylish you have to love The Rabbit Hole. The club is a giant tent, the brig…
My fingers down your spine, Forget it and screw with haste, Coz I'm yours and you're mine. Xx
Cave the primitive rave. Cloud the music loud. The Cave & Cloud our sanctuary of indulgence. The champagne showers and sparkling smiles. Bubbly party and girly girls and manly men. The simple two. Drug and booze. Simple drink and fruity lov…
Ideal girl? Well that's tricky, She'd be Nice, And funny, Pretty and maybe wear those big glasses which don't actually help but look clever and sexy, Really blonde, Or very dark, Like sport And reading, Music lover, Big beautiful eyes, But…
That brilliant stereotype, I'm not confident, I can barely look her in the eye, But I know hers are beautiful, I really like her, She would like me, If I could tell her, But I can't I'm the quiet shy and self conscious ladies man, But I'm m…
The fox den. Place of sexual release, the underground palace of desire. No strings, no consequences, no worries, just freedom to explore your darkest most secret dreams. Enter and sign up. You can be a vend (that's a buyer) or a gooddie (to…
The Pit. Step into the craze. Manic sweat and drink. The door is circular and glass. Lights are everywhere, little glow bugs, robots created using organic bio-technology fly through the air like multi-coloured shooting stars. When they die …
And dance all night, We're the future Yeah that's right. Party today And again tomorrow, The futures bright You say with sorrow. So much evil And world of bad, Our lighter take Won't make you sad. We know our job And right now it's hard …
The Pit. The Fox Den. Cave & Cloud. The Rabbit Hole. These are the clubs. The big four. Anybody who is anyone is at these. Every night from dusk till dawn. Smokey hazes of colours and drug fumes swirl around the ceilings creating a sky of d…
Forget the times we spent, The places where we went, And all the kisses in the rain. Further away our paths are bent, So please help ease the pain, Forget me and our time together, It was not long, Only forever, I know it's not right but it…
People walk to the beats. The music of the city. Pounding bass pumping through the concrete ground and glass surroundings. Oblivious to it, just the hum of life. Some poor sods troubled and desperate dance to the drone. Hanging to lamp post…
The streets are not the same. They have changed considerably. Men lie in doorways, handwritten signs in front of them, selling parts of themselves. Not organs, no much more valuable and damaging. Tears. Tears for money, that bittersweet hon…
She put a hand to the wall and stroked it. She had to end the suffering. She had to really be with him. The girl then stepped up on the balcony wall. As tears now freely flowed down her once beautiful face, now distraught and contorted in p…
And hearts it only breaks. One thing we hope it makes, That fickle thing our fame, We love it all the same, The same sick old game, Our pain never to name. Break it into shards, Truly then view the cards, Story tellers and aged bards, Take …
To really be betrayed means to have a relationship with someone. A proper relationship with strong feelings that are made not to be broken but to last forever. That is why it hurts so much when we are betrayed. String feelings and a good re…
She was the one, You were my sun, And like always you went, Summer glow truly spent, But return and rise, The blue sunny skies, She loved the way, I would look And always say. I could read her like a book, But she was the one, I needed her…
A fresh start.
Seeping into my veins, We stand huddled in the dark room, Squalid and ruined, Paint lined our bodies, Glowing bright in the dark, The naked skin just objects, Bought sold and rented, Pupils wide and eyes black with night, then the door open…
Beneath the glass lay a photograph, she slipped it out and gazed at it. It was of a boy about her age. He wore army uniform and had sharp chiselled features. His perfect face smiled up at her. Then the girl felt a hand on her shoulder and t…
These are modern times, so call disturbing rhymes, phantom spectre plot hatcher face collector identity snatcher dream creeper and soul weeper, bleeding eyes as happiness dies, iron heart laughs turn, finished start as societies burn, min…
Children fight the light, Dogs dark and bark, Dreaming a screaming, Drink her wink, Music in your head, Beats to excite the dead, Those colours and sounds, Those anchors and hounds, The kissed and knives, The missed and lives, Drowned in wo…
And silent rave. Luminescent drinks That swirl in your glass The soul sinker sinks As my youth does pass. The music slides, I move around, Mind high and cloudy glides, to that silent sound. I see all girls, Smiling and calling, The glas…
Once cherished, Once loved, Once cared for, We are the castaways, The replaceable, The ancient, We have grown old, Our youth and shine, No more but sold, We are the castaways, Rejected machinery, No longer useful, Left to rust and rot, Fade…
I sleep, Dream weep, And wake, Simple night, My thoughts to take, Filled with power and might. I wake again, And yawn Good night.
Right this is the best therapy I can offer (but ask me anything you like :) if you are ever feeling down and need cheering up listen to any music by Benjamin Francis Leftwich. I recommend his songs Shine, Pictures and Don't Go Slow. You wil…
This poem is dedicated to everyone on Opuss. We are the tellers of tales to save others from life's little wails. Enjoy! Sometimes I like to just do nothing, It is in nothing that I will do everything, I will see the future, present and pa…
Public swimming pools? Really why on earth call them leisure centres?! Honestly the water is horrible, the place stinks, there is nothing fun to do, they are always filled with screaming children and the changing cubicles are tiny and reall…
Just another little thought. Probably never had a childhood if you never pretended you were famous and were being interviewed on your latest celebrity activity (which was just you talking to yourself) let me know if you did as well and what…
My celebrity girlfriend, The beginning of my end, Your perfect eyes, A hideous surprise, We are worlds apart, So knife my heart, I know you don't love me, How I stupidly can't see, That love is blind, Autograph my soul, I want it signed, To…
This time I feel dead, And ever more alive, The dreams I dream of you. And how we are together, Closer now before And further apart than ever, I feel unity and order, Being with you like this, And it is you I miss, But when I wake My breat…
I sit in my mind, It's the cold depressing and grey kind, I wish the thoughts and feelings would go away, Why I have them I cannot say, It's not that I won't tell you, I just don't know what, when, where or who, I am curled up tight in the …
Bond. James Bond. Daniel Craig is my hero. I mean come on no argument he IS James Bond! The guy is an amazing actor and just has it all. Cue baby boy voice, "Wow Mr when I grow up I wanna be just like you." That's it really, he is awesome a…

Bed tight, I lie awake thinking, Have I done any wrong today? I try to fight, To anyone at all? And into sleeps welcoming arms I fall.
Ok guys so this round's over and all your entries have been incredible! But I'm gonna go straight into the rankings. 3rd @SJW this was a brilliant piece and I felt that although a bit short really captured the emotion and the feeling of pai…
Guy1: You know pretending to be blind and walking into the girls changing room was great! Guy2: That's terrible! Guy1: No the terrible part was stealing the blind guys dog.
Word, cord, letter and note, This is the magic of what we wrote. Artists together, Inspiring the weather, The black night sky, Place of mystery Where our poems would fly, And make our tales history, These soon heralded a new age, Our words …

Me on writing: I'm just like everyone else, I have too much to say so I wrote it for you to read later ;)
In M&S earlier when at the till I was buying my Percy pigs (yes I like them! Who doesn't?) and the checkout woman was saying that I looked like Tom Daley and was quizzing me on stuff etc. She was saying that I was the spitting image of him …
You stand gazing into me, I see your face for the first time, Yet it is not smiling, Tears flowing steadily from agitated eyes And I see something broken within you, We are standing so close But are separated, You look deeper into me Askin…
Whenever learning something read as many books as you can on the subject and then forget 99% of what you have just read.
“Right this way Sir.” Said John as he lead the latest client into the most bizarre habitat he would ever likely encounter. The flat was, different to many others. In fact it would be hard to find any flat similar in the entire world. This w…
You can't spell us without yoU.
Those lips That smile A dream that dips Me in love for a while, Those eyes That glint A life of sighs Should give me a hint, So when I cry Those silent internal years Just pass on by In the mix of cold loving tears, I cannot blame That…
You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps.
"Single as a pringle and ready to mingle." I just wanna put this out there. I was always under the impression that Pringles came in a pack with others. That's food for thought :D
Sea, fresh breeze, that bliss bite in the air that makes you feel mint. The wind rushes into you blowing away all worries. The sand beneath my feet. Silence for the waves. I step into the shallows and feel the bliss icy waters wash over my …
Small guy gets into a fight with a much taller guy. The small guy threatens to punch the taller guy. Tall guy: (laughing) you could never reach my face. Small guy: what makes you think I'm gonna punch you in the face. LEGEND!!
The girl put a hand to her head, the headaches had gotten worse. Had she really forgotten happiness? Or had life just not any left? Her breathing suddenly quickened, her heart pounded against her chest as if trying to break free and reach t…
That's right. Many of you on here are incredibly talented writers but have little recognition. I may not be talented but I would like more of a chance to have a larger audience read my work. Like, comment and re-post this if you agree.
Softly strumming music. A quiet soothing lullaby. The violin plays to the babe lying in the cradle. Encapsulating the adoration of life and memories contained in the new photos placed around the room. Soft toys and colourful blankets line t…
We lie on the sofa, you leaning into me, I feel your heartbeat, my arm is around you, protecting you and sheltering you, Your small hand takes mine, and places it on your leg, You lean into me more, I feel your heartbeat, You turn and gaze …
Yeah it's sunny so I'm outside topping up the tan. BBQ, beer and music. I <3 English summer Y not?
The time when I say those words. Those horrid cutting words. Those words only ever said to me. I look into your eyes and see their beauty covered up by a mask of tears. I reach out to touch you but you pull away. And it is now, now I know h…
Ok so got my new passport photo taken today. Things started badly having to pay five quid, then I was taken out to a dodgy looking back room in the post office and made to sit in this tiny box. Soon after having to lower the stool a signifi…

I feel the wind beneath me And the warm golden sun above. Flying over the bluest sapphire sea, And snow whiter than a dove. Through fresh pine scented trees And shimmering treasured sand. My dreams walk with ease and when I wake they land.
Everyone has something to say. Therefore everyone also has the right to be heard.
Pounding beat, That musical heat, Silver song, I loved so long, Music is a drug, So admit you got the bug Instrumental mind, Music all can find, Dream yourself away, Your song we will play, So when you sleep at night Whisper loud And sleep …
Drawing on my fine command of the English language I said nothing.
Her lips trembled. Her pupils were wide making her eyes appear as two vast gaping black holes searching for something long lost. There were dried tears on her pale cheeks, like rivers that had long since emptied. Her hair was long and matte…
They say that love is the catalyst of poets, Yet so is war, Is it man's love of war that spurs his imagination? Or Is love so much like war that the two are often confused? These questions are unanswered because there is no answer.
It's the special day, The day we had both looked forward to, Dreamt of, Our day, Our special day. The wedding on the beach, Nothing major but infinitely special, Our day, Our special day. The sun shines, yet it is nothing compared to you…
Eyes shut, Close out everything, Run away, Dream, Enter your own world, Journey, Run through fields of gold, Swim in silver seas, Fly through snow white clouds, No one in it cries, Pluck stars from the sky and keep them safe, People with di…
A blind man once prayed every day and night for his sight to be returned. God pitied the blind man and placed a hand over him, opening his eyes and returning his sight. On having his vision restored he took one look at the world around him …
I could stay with you forever, Searching our minds For something clever, Anything really any finds, If love was there all along Tears would be born, In a song of joy not of scorn, but still our hearts Beat with passion, And a newer love we …
A quiet walk With you Little talk But with you, Because that's all that matters, Being together. I would be there for you, Whenever, Hold your hand and whisper in your ear, Tell you silent secrets And hold you for a year, Protect you from t…
Never, Never, Yes is easier than no, Yet to there we all must go, To never age or worry at all, We stay as children and cannot fall, To never fear or feel pain, To save precious tears for that gorgeous rain, We will be lost, And that is wh…
In you I see. Your silent eyes Your whispering lips, A known surprise To sink those ships. In you I see. Your quiet heart Your steady smile, Where can we start? It's been a while. In you I see. Oh! What's the use? My love for you Is now s…
Couples, Two by two, Saved From a flood of tears, I remain, Solitary, And drown
Remember to be yourself because those who care don't matter and those that matter don't care.
Remember that we should never be jealous of those people who our ex goes out with. Because as our parents say we must give our old toys to those less fortunate.
