Manic/Naked

Manic 

A Poem by Colton Warr

Manic Thoughts, 

thoughts in knots, 

For, answers he sought,

And for Love he fought, 

If her touch slowed time, 

It also slowed his mind, 

Match that with the wine

….what a happy time

Hands around hips, 

Until sanity slips, 

Until sin-stained lips 

Until it wasn’t the same, 

Until it became un-tame, 

words cause pain. 

Who do we blame? 

In the night an eclipse,

Seeing her on trips, 

And so he reveals his scripts

Is there love in his wine?

Is there love in his rhyme?

Is there love in his crime? 

Still, upon him, she climbs

So fast, seeing spots, 

spots that cause brains to rot, 

In a night filled with shots, 

Still, they remain….

Manic Thoughts

Naked

A Poem by Colton Warr

No army, no protection, 

No smoke, no misdirection, 

Nothing enhanced or filtered, 

Nothing edited or glittered, 

No silver and no gold, 

Everything was given up, it all was sold, 

I wore no armor, I wore no coat, 

I wore no fancy shirt nor did I gloat, 

In fact, 

I had no shoes, I had no socks, 

I had no shirt, there were no locks, 

No combination to get in, No code, 

No price of admission, nothing owed, 

I even removed my briefs,

so that you could see all of me, 

The real me, as God intended it to be, 

As it was us in the garden, 

not Adam and Eve,

There was nothing in that room but my love for you, 

And there was nothing on you but what you had been through, 

There was no past, 

there was no future, 

There were no Kings and Queens, 

There were no rulers,

There was nothing on me but me, 

My Dove,

When I told you that it was you... 

that I love.

Rapid short breaths as I read this. Wonderful.

I love this, I can relate to it very well too. Sorry for the delay but been busy and not had time to get on here. Keep up the great work.

[RnL]

It got my heart pumping a bit so you had my attention with Manic. Then Naked slowed it a bit and with the longer sentences made me read and think back to reality. There is love AND sex.........awesome!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A quick flow, that allows the reader to lose ones self in the striking imagery, well done, good read.

[Connor Shane]

Nice two for one upload! The second one, being naked, yet still happy enough for the sake of love. and the first, with all the insanity of humankind, there's still (unreasonable?) love! That's what I see anyway.

[jennifer little]

you did a great job on this poem great flow nice work

[Sreenath]

Both of the work is better . The first one has raw emotions of love and the second part being with humanity. Enjoyed reading it. Loved the poems

[chaotic katie]

Both pieces are beautiful and I enjoyed reading them. Very nice work.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Thats how true love should be bare open nothing to cover up or to hide - no ego or pride no secrets inside- when u can let everything go and feel comfortable as its the truth that shines free- transparent you and me..great words make one think🌹

[Weeping willow]

Many faces come and go to many words flow within the spirit as it changes them all. Nicely expressed running through so many emotions. I understand these words ;-

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this one and felt a connection to these words. That is what writing is all about. Thank you for reading, and happy holidays!
