Into Dust
my cheast
my heart thumps
so loudly
it rings in my ears
im fading
dissapearing
i cant hear a thing
cars pass by
my legs give out
and soon i am on the ground
ive never hurt so musch
my head is on fire
my heart is on flames
fear begins
taking over
i cant control
the things i do
shaking
trembling
as i stand up
keep walking
your almost there
that is what i tell my self
where am i trying to go
my arms freezing in the cold air
my body being pushed back
by the wind
why dont i ever stop
i continue to walk forward
as if nothing was ever wrong
i put on a smile
i walk straight
i feel nothing
i am soulless
i am an empty shell
my emotions i locked up
and im the one that
threw away the key
i had no use for silly things
no not had
i have no use for foolish
idiotic, selfish things
theyd only slow me down
i can no longer love
nor smpathise
nor care
i am a hollow vessal
of which i once was
feeling no guilt
to those i hurt
ever fading
into dust

< rainy spring day >
a dripping of a drop
as a flower tips its top
and the forest
in deep shadow
and the birds
birding
and the squirrels
using their tails as umbrellas
and it's cool
and no breeze
and my breath
turns mist then melts away
a red mushroom
poisonous
i eat it anyway
and feel its flesh
crush between my teeth
and feel its inside
mix with mine
and five miles down the trail
a first tingle
and five more miles
a warm wave
and then
my lips are numb
but i still laugh
and later
where are my legs?
so here i lie
part of the sky
or
(if you must)
patiently
(it's just)
watching
my top
(rust
into rust)
feeling
each drop
(dust
into dust)

The Taste of Nothing
The flies rejoice
for chocolate and vanilla
as summer sneers
to mock the myth of god
Their treasure sprawls
stricken on the path
where Death melts slowly
over a priest's pink tongue
Even heaven's sweetest dreams
curdle quickly in the sun
devotion to barren mysteries
and the lie of a lifetime's mirage
soon reduced by the roots of yew
And so the humblest truth
rises hungry from the dark
its scorn the taste of nothing
dissolving all eternities
into dust.
*Sorry, I know this is short, but coincidentally I wrote it the other day.

Now I can never love
Never dream
I have no soul
I have no life
I am nobody
My heart
My love
My dreams
My soul
My life
You stole them
You destroyed them
And gave them back
But it was too late
They had already turned
Into dust
Never dream
I have no soul
I have no life
I am nobody
My heart
My love
My dreams
My soul
My life
You stole them
You destroyed them
And gave them back
But it was too late
They had already turned
Into dust
Hello Hurt It's Me Again
Shattered dreams and broken hearts
I welcome them with open arms
Embrace the hurt and give it a squeeze
I can't get enough I want more please
Feed me lies and sorry excuses
Drive me crazy become a nuisance
Make me cry consistently
Judge and look at me differently
Slap me beat me if you must
Eventually I'll transform into dust
Shattered dreams and broken hearts
I welcome them with open arms
Embrace the hurt and give it a squeeze
I can't get enough I want more please
Feed me lies and sorry excuses
Drive me crazy become a nuisance
Make me cry consistently
Judge and look at me differently
Slap me beat me if you must
Eventually I'll transform into dust

Black Dandelion
Dandelions,
though beautifully evasive,
smother and choke
their counterparts;
Dandelions
know no boundaries
they only know they exist;
You hand her a bunch of Dandelions
tied in your mother’s silk ribbon;
I wilt like specs into dust
Dandelions,

smother and choke
their counterparts;
Dandelions
know no boundaries
they only know they exist;
You hand her a bunch of Dandelions
tied in your mother’s silk ribbon;
I wilt like specs into dust
You say you want it all
You're always on to it
From racketing to out right stealing
Heartless in your operation
You oppress the weak and helpless
I wonder how you feel
When you maim and kill
Rape and molest
Innocent young girls
You fool you believe in your tool
Huffing and puffing and nobody dares to cough
Or you're so quick to turn it rough
Every dog's got his day
In the month of may
You got the nail
Slowly it sailed
Deep down your brain
Money,power and control
Vanity upon vanity
All oneday must be lost
When the soul is gone
And the body returns
Into dust
You're always on to it
From racketing to out right stealing
Heartless in your operation
You oppress the weak and helpless
I wonder how you feel
When you maim and kill
Rape and molest
Innocent young girls
You fool you believe in your tool
Huffing and puffing and nobody dares to cough
Or you're so quick to turn it rough
Every dog's got his day
In the month of may
You got the nail
Slowly it sailed
Deep down your brain
Money,power and control
Vanity upon vanity
All oneday must be lost
When the soul is gone
And the body returns
Into dust
Ether
The noble secures a cunning voice in luxury
Where as the beggar speaks of heavenly fables
The grandeur of aerial souls strewn in elegance
Pinpoint specks stained about the fabric of night
Celestial tongues of sanguine fog paint a bloody score
Sagittarius knelt down in a thicket of cosmic grit
Signals for Boötes to detach the star-eyed hounds
And the Canes Venatici scatter for the kill
As Orion sounds the horn, the hunt is rooted firmly
Lupus answers from the distance with a howl
Columba hurriedly flees, seeking pacifism
But for Vulpecula, an unchaste demise
Overhead in the tarnishing blush of sunlight
She wanes gracefully before us into dust
The noble secures a cunning voice in luxury
Where as the beggar speaks of heavenly fables
The grandeur of aerial souls strewn in elegance
Pinpoint specks stained about the fabric of night
Celestial tongues of sanguine fog paint a bloody score
Sagittarius knelt down in a thicket of cosmic grit
Signals for Boötes to detach the star-eyed hounds
And the Canes Venatici scatter for the kill
As Orion sounds the horn, the hunt is rooted firmly
Lupus answers from the distance with a howl
Columba hurriedly flees, seeking pacifism
But for Vulpecula, an unchaste demise
Overhead in the tarnishing blush of sunlight
She wanes gracefully before us into dust
The hurt can be too much to bear
After years of enduring it
Without anything to look forward too.
The lonliness eats at you,
Your heart stops pumping
When you realize there is nothing
Left to live for.
Your soul will weaken,
And life will drain from your eyes
As your body turns
Into dust.

Into Dusts
Dances of mermaids
Neath blue seas
Songs of birds
From Paradise
They are mere dreams
That dawn renders
Into dusts
I hope to make my wishes three
All come true with bursting stars
Of magic and splendorous beauty
Like tales told within a book
Alas, they are never real for me
Reality’s strength is way too much
Daydreams turn into dusts
Dances of mermaids
Neath blue seas
Songs of birds
From Paradise
They are mere dreams
That dawn renders
Into dusts
I hope to make my wishes three
All come true with bursting stars
Of magic and splendorous beauty
Like tales told within a book
Alas, they are never real for me
Reality’s strength is way too much
Daydreams turn into dusts
Fading Like Mist
She was swept away by the slow ripple and smooth flow
the gentle stroke of shared moments ever so tender
She wanted to hold so tightly onto the impossible to keep
something so liquid will seep through where air is felt
Disappearing too late to realise that it has all gone
shards of what was sting her eyes as tears fall
flowing away along with the impossible to keep
leaving behind a dehydrated and cracked heart
That struggles to beat to the sound of emptiness
just an echo that haunts her ears in silent pain
as darkness falls over eyes empty and far away
pulling back to a hidden place that no one can see
A memory that plays in the past of whispering ghosts
part of her fading like a mist in the warmth of the sun
her energy left behind wrapping the earth in her essence
as her aroma catches his senses for the very last time
She fades away into dust..........

Scared...
My young Lover,
You say that age is nothing,
nothing but a number
a moment in the vastness.
Oh, I want that pace.
I want to live
within your personal space
and house you in mine....
and knowing that, i am scared..
Scared,
that i might not measure up
to your preconceptions,
might not meet your mental idea
of who i am.
Scared,
that the reality might ruin the fantasy,
that my needs for personal happiness
might drain you
of your own happiness.
Scared
that you might be sucked dry
of happy emotions and of love
as you watch one more person you love
wither and die.
Scared,
because I have had my years
while you have many to come.
I've lived while you've just begun.
Scared,
that as I rust and decay with age
you'll form new memories, a page
as black as new found rage, I've
robbed you of your age.
Scared,
that death will take me from you
much sooner than we trust
sooner rather than later
death will shake me
..into dust
