I'm about to post another depressing poem of mine that I've written.
Should I post it?
Want me to, I will
Want me not to, I won't.
Want me, fine, meet me in your mind
Want me not, that's okay. I'll take it your on a holiday
~Josh~
21.
Love who you want to.

Post it. There's a lot of feeling in your poems. I like experiencing these feelings.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

~Poem 1~
Title: Twisted Love Song
Written by: Joshua Ward
--
Twisted Love Song
--
Call my name, I'll be there in two seconds
At death's door, just make your way to heaven
Slide the popsicle stick down memory lane
Full of broken hearts, promises, and you watched me as it rained
Was I attractive, wrapped in blue?
Call me, anytime was what I said to you
Then I gave you my number inside a pink heart
I'm not gray yet, only after dark
The world is my stepping stool
I laugh at your tragedies
Thinking strange thoughts,
Watch the world go "Boom"
With a twisted smile on my face
Wrap me in towels, whatever you prefer
I'll love you upside down, you'll have to take a turn
Down the world you'd rather not travel
Synonyms of candle light
Invite the bats, careful they bite
But you'll enjoy it, simple and clean
You smell like cinnamon, your blood tastes like whip cream
And then we stop..
~End~
~Poem 2~
Title: How I know I'm into You
Written by: Joshua Ward
--
How I know I'm into You
--
Rip me, shred me
Shade me in blue
To let me know
My heart beats solely for you
You are the stone that keeps my heart aching
Those deadly pills I'm forced to be taking
The thriving stabs that make me cry
The shadows that close in when I'm wet and dry
Contemplate me on a dish
Add anything you like, shall I give you some tips?
Add some blood and sweet vinegar, I'll show you how far I can be pleasured
Add some close calls, and heart-stoppers too
This is how I know I'm into you
~End~
Blow me a kiss, send another slash to my wrist
You don't know what you do to me, I'm the dirt you walk on, how you love to step on me
Make me wish just for the end, I'll grow wings and let this fairytale end..
Ever so slightly, bleed a little for me
Drown me in unconsciousness, Send me to clean up this bloody mess
I'm your keeper, you're my doll; I will always heed your call in the night
Don't forget to turn on the lights at night
I'll slay your innocence away with my blade
So your world is brighter for another day
~End~
21.
Love who you want to.
~Josh~

~Poem 1~
Title: I'm Your Angel
Written by: Joshua Ward
--
I'm Your Angel
--
Place my heart around your neck
Place a crystal deep inside my heart
When in the dark you won't find me
I'm sheltered here, inside
Where I see stars fly by,
With angels and their sleeping
And I wonder to myself
If it's my tears that you're weeping
You're such a queen, though I'd never tell
Cause lord knows, there's far to much to tell
Far too much to tell..
You brought me up when I was down
Turned my frown right up-side-down
You made a memory within my heart to stay
If I'd promise you a moment, would you stay for a lifetime
Cause this life's far too short to waste on broken dreams and crooked lines
When this life is over, will it be aright?
When my time is up, can I make you dream of the night sky
Take you to a distant place, where love is blooming, there's a life
With rivers, streams, and mountains with no end
It's an imaginary picture in my heart
That I would give to you without a second thought..
Love doesn't grow on trees, that I already know
It grows in the heart, with every smile that you've shown the world before
Time heals this broken heart of yours
Look up at the shores
Your dreams await..
It's time to live again
Raise your head up and start walking down the road
I'll be right with you
Heaven is calling me, and even though you'll never see..
I'm your angel..
~End~

Rose Petals
--
Poke me with your candle stick
You replace me with a cold shoulder
That enough seduces me
Why does your smile make me weak
I'm torn at the limbs for you, putting a smile on
To brighten up your day
Place me on a rug of shame
Ever watchful, you are my waking hour
Run your fingers through the ashes
Fetch me a cold glass of wine
Collect me, mold me whichever way you desire
Touch my innocence and make me melt
Pleasing you is what I live for, being at your beck and call
Ever though that heaven has a place for those who don't belong?
Run on clouds of gray and white, make the stars of your dreams come alive
Sometimes life gets you down, don't lose hope. You still have your flame
Occasionally, I see you stop by. We don't speak, we don't need to.
Nature has it's own love story. So let's create one of our own
I will be your rose..
21.
Love who you want to.
~Josh~

OK. Lots of feeling again. My interpretation of your poems always seems to involve elements of hurt, overcoming, and loving in spite of it all.
The references to blood, cuts, and stabs tell me hurt.
Things like "The world is my stepping stool" say hope, which overcomes the hurt.
Phrases like "Call me anytime" and "My heartbeats solely for you" show a charitable love.
There is despair. It comes with the hurt. But there is more. There is a seeing past the hurt and loving in spite of the hurt. The title "Twisted Love Song" seems appropriate. I particularly liked the idea of sweet vinegar in Poem 2. That expression seems to me to be an abridged description of your poetry. Its bitter-sweet.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
Ps 133:1 NASB

Angel
This poem speaks of hope.
Hope makes life fun. I like this one best so far. The imagry early on is other-worldly and from the viewpoint of an indwelling celestial being. Then the viewpoint switches to the person who has the angel. This 'dialog without conversation' is interesting albeit somewhat confusing. That's what this poem did for me anyway.
Petals
This one is about love. Its a hidden love that the first person has for someone. The poem exudes a beautiful, hopeful, charitable love that warms the heart. It gives me an urgent desire to go and kiss someone.
Both of the poems are happy ones.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

Desolation
See through my mirror
Contemplation
Are you near?
I don't fight
I'm blind in the dark without the light
Counting back the times when I was wrong and you were right..
But you left me, on the corner of fifth avenue
And you left me, with nothing but a pair of shoes
I don't know what to do
I'm on my own, there's no light in this dark tunnel
I can't turn back, on my own, and there's no way back
So I'll just walk away..
Ever growing, ever slowing down
Try to pick up the pace, when everyone just stares me down
There's daggers in their eyes, no surprise that I'm not wanted..
The devil's and the ghosts creeping up inside my shell..
Hello? How are you? I welcome you into this room
This is my life, back before another time..
When I was on my own, and everything was right..
Close the mirror on this case
You'll find nothing, not a trace
I've left you a note on the wall
Live strong and stand tall
I'm now on my way, on my way to better days
No turning back, it's only black I see
I cannot be here anymore...
Just a ghost with the most to lose..
I've fallen down, and I've ended up bruised..
You lost me once, you lost me twice
Can't go back to paradise,
So I'll stay
Forever in darkness, this is my night to play...
~End~
21.
Love who you want to.

For me, this is about playing with a memory. The poem is about remembering a cherished relationship that has been lost. Both the good memories and the bad memories. It ends with a resolve to let the memory go and move forward in hope. So I think it's sorta happy.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
