Depression Exposed
I cry, I feel, I hurt, I heal.
I still bleed when I’m cut.
Then why am I like a puppet,
strings cut, crumpled
on the pavement where
people pass me by as if I’m
trash to be picked up.
I still bleed when I’m cut.
Then why am I like a puppet,
strings cut, crumpled
on the pavement where
people pass me by as if I’m

Unearth
under
the moon's umbra
shrouded
I stand
my weary and wicked heart
barely beats,
still so painfully buried
in your hands;
sinful pride in tatters,
a confetti of sorrow
s c a t t e r s
riding upon winds
of yesterday's promise;
a
darkened
bloodied
reminder

No worries i'll remove these as their pretty concrete, I don't really revise or edit my pieces but if a 40 word poem arrives before the end I'll definitely re enter Uma, thank you for the heads up much appreciated :))

Sleep Spells
Engulfing black will
drag me into its undertow
regardless of your spell
casting hands.
You promised to ward off
everything,
but I’m not sure your charms
actually work.
So don’t tell me not
to dream
if you plan to leave.

Premonition
She said she had a dream -
She was the queen of the parade
With a full view of everyone…
Her funeral procession
Was attended by everyone
Her final resting place - on top of a hill
Overlooks the town

Between the Deep and Me
death on the shore
under the full Hunter’s moon,
my fight, a trophy
in your chest pocket
as you leave me for high tide;
there’s nothing now
between the deep and me,
save a few stars standing
in my way
under the full Hunter’s moon,
my fight, a trophy
in your chest pocket
as you leave me for high tide;
there’s nothing now
between the deep and me,
save a few stars standing
in my way

~(y)our ambre love above all & nil..
1.
~the accompanist
your
husky monotones’
a shadowy dark
semblance, a fallen
dusk’s uninvited
accompanist...
-overrides
those blinding synthetic
ultraviolet spectacle
-elongates
in a menacing acuity
yet intertwining
with its objective origin’s
free endless hands...
the extreme
‘8” connectivity
-our
cyclical looping
infinity
2.
~liberation
the koel…
no more
sings in its aching
melancholic grace...
..given to arduous
lovelorn rattles
pitch~ black leachates
of its darkening hues…
corrode inner in a
choking necrosis
famishing eyes
of one devotion…
in no tears, anymore
a fasting desiccation
