poem by chel scott

Moisturise my face, wash my hair, pluck my eyebrows, with great care. Plenty of lipstick, define my eyes, a bit of shadow, a kind of disguise. Oh, what I suffer, the time I take, I wish I looked like this, just as soon as I... Read more

poem by chel scott

Lost in a world of confusion, alone in this spiralling abyss, mind dumb, yet filled with emotion, how can I be expected to cope with all this? I can walk around with a smile, and let everyone think I'm ok, but they don't know ... Read more

poem by chel scott

I lie dreaming, grasped by fear, as I clutch my sodden pillow. I fear the realisation, that when I wake, you'll still be gone. Your side of the bed, still has the musky scent of you, the scent you left behind. The scent I can... Read more

poem by chel scott

Take a trip to your own subconscious, there are no limits to insanity there. It's a dreamland, do and say as you please. Delve under the covers, hide from logical thought. Be what you've never dared to be. Escape from this tedi... Read more

I try to read it's glacier depths, as it sits there in my drink, I swirl the liquid round, not quite knowing what to think. Trying to find my answers there, I look deep into the icy haze, everything around me fades away, I get ... Read more

poem by chel scott

Stalking through the unlit street, in search of his nightly prey. He tongues his white fangs in anticipation, hunger makes itself known. Stealthily he approaches a bench, where sits a teenager, enjoying her last cigarette. Awa... Read more

poem by chel scott

The bloodlust I saw in his eyes, had me believe that I was dead, I heard the scream, and it was my own, heart pounding, I filled with dread. Have you ever gazed into evil eyes, filled with disgust and with raw hate? It makes y... Read more

poem by chel scott

Have you ever seen the moon reflect, like diamonds on the sea? Or heard a new born baby's cry? These are miracles to me. Ever seen the warm sun fight, to keep the night at bay? Heard the birds greet the morn? As this is natures... Read more

poem by chel scott

It's the smile. The one with the look, from across the room. I can almost feel it. It's the smile. With the whispered words, only I can hear, hushed words of love. It's the smile. The one that says you know, you know what I ... Read more

poem by chel scott

Tear out my heart. open my ribcage and remove the very life of me. Take what love I had and wash it clean away. No more words to say. No more tears to cry. No more love to give. No more heartbeats. I am encased in black, shr... Read more

poem by chel scott

Again the dark night creeps in, and it's almost time to sleep, one coffee and one thought too many? A stress alert on repeat. I watched the scarlet sunset, counted all the starts in the sky, tried a movie and wrote a book, but,... Read more

poem by chel scott

There is madness inside me, and it's killing all my dreams, the insanity crept into my mind, now I'm falling apart at the seams. I can't see anything clearly, every thought is a misty haze, each feeling now is questioned, lea... Read more

poem by chel scott

I just want to be left all alone, but want someone to be alone with, I want to fall deeply in love, yet avoid it, because love is a myth. I only know of true happiness, because I've been so very sad, I've learned how to be dec... Read more

poem by chel scott

Trying to fill a void, to make something complete, I can feel the pull of strain, I just cannot compete. We leave the stale air empty, I lose myself in a book, I can feel the weight of your glare, but I pretend I don't see the ... Read more

poem by chel scott

I stare at the blank page, waiting for the words to appear. They are in my head, all a jumble. All rushing to be the first word wrote. I try to fathom what they mean, try to put them into some order. It's no good. I'll have to... Read more

poem by chel scott

It wasn't me, it was them, screaming, howling, it's happened again. Blood smeared walls, poisonous lips, sweat soaked bodies, and swaying hips. Lustful thoughts, heaving chests, voices heard, a sense of unrest. It wasn't m... Read more

poem by chel scott

We see them perched upon the kerb, as we turn and walk on by, they look to be in a pitiful state, yet, do we stop to ask why? They swallow their pride, and ask us to see, if we have it within us to help, enough for a coffee, ... Read more

poem by chel scott

It was as if a star fell from the sky, and landed in my hand. It whispered to me what I'd yearned to hear, and helped me understand. I breathed a sigh and looked around, everything suddenly clear. My reason for being why I a... Read more

poem by chel scott

The wings of a butterfly, so colourful, delicate. I watch the sun reflecting, blues, yellows, brilliant whites. Gliding, arching, swaying, caught on a summer breeze. Twirling, swirling, curling, what a dazzling sight. So daint... Read more

Lost in the moonlight, searching, I feel the icy touch of his skin, fear fades as the dark night deepens, a silent calm spreads within. Sorrow and sadness seep away, out into the darkness, far beyond, his cold touch reminds me... Read more

poem by chel scott

I pull and I squeeze, with all of my might, suck in my breath, tuck it all in tight. There's a tearing seam, a now a loose thread, I could sew and cut, oh, I'm filled with dread. If I could just breath, ah, that'd be bliss, ... Read more

poem by chel scott

Clutching at reality, until my knuckles are white, round and round in my head, I swear, I'm not quite right! I daydream all the time, imagine I'm from another place, I have delusions of grandeur, like I'm made of silk and lac... Read more

poem by chel scott

I have seen many a splendid thing, trinkets and treasures so nice, but never a substance so mystifying, this miracle of nature, ice. I see things of silver and gold, but they come at such a price, in my mind, there is nothing ... Read more

poem by chel scott

Her hopeful heart is heavy with sorrow, as she wipes the tears from her child's face. As she tries to conceal her own, she smiles. The land seems starved, just like her child, her whole world is suffering this famine. As the day ... Read more

poem by chel scott

I'm running up the spiralled stairs, to which there seems no end, I'm screaming down the corridor, that does nothing but curve and bend. I know there's something chasing me, but I can't stop to see its face, all my senses have d... Read more

poem by chel scott

My soul was mine, and mine alone, and I wanted it to stay that way, my heart was once a no-go zone, and then they both began to stray, The night upon which we met, was when my soul began to seek, it's one I know I'll never reg... Read more

poem by chel scott

Do you think I can't hear you laugh, as you pass me on the street? Don't you think it hurts me, to know you have me beat? I may be a little different than you, on the outside, that is all, but still I hear you snigger, and the ... Read more
