~Fading as the sunset

Another day, denial
Alcohol, longing it to flow
through my veins
For I am weary
So weary
My heart aches
My tears flow
Feels as through
I am dying slow.

Out in emptiness  


Parched
by desert sand
splayed
vulnerable
by expanse
mentally  
curled
indifference
probes
that emotionally
charged wheel

So...
why
cannot I
be ferried
safely
back home...
I know its there
somewhere


(title not part of 30*)

deserted

empty vessel
cold, alone
peeling vagrancies
shattered apart
no strong hands to hold
no loving arms to embrace
no warm lips to breathe
new life into her dilapidated heart

A Cacophony of Silence

The city of Lions
roar awake
with the rising sun
somewhere out there
a typhoon screams

I'm alone
sterile hotel room
in a cacophony of sounds
wrapped in silence.

Jill,

I know you've been having a hard time,
but so have I.
I just didn't want to worry you.
At a certain point you just don't care anymore

Bye

Fire, fights and guns!
Ropes, knives and disease!
Falls, weather And violence!
Sometimes it's the darkest thoughts
The worst nightmares
Those little suicidal urges
That give me warm, tingly feelings!

Thirty words seems like a lot
I mean, really
Right now I don't even give a fuck

One way or another
I guess it will all be over soon

Sanatorium of 'Nam

The shrill, unguided slink
Slithers around and around
My spine.
Trudge futile through
Ink shod mud (blood)
While the snakish brace
Ruck sacks along.
Serpants in elephant grass
Only constrict.

Depression Confession:

I feel the truth spinning, away.
The denial winning, today.

Lying here, breathing.
The voice digging, kneading.

The lust for life, gone.
Newly found hurt?
Wrong.

Until I go outside.

non circumvent

surround
with your negotiating airs

storming out
glassy dusts
over papery eyeballs

interventions whichever you do
regenerates whatever's stoically dead

you are near

need to be telling

I need you

THE SEE THROUGH

I want silence of the world

Fuck the lambs.

A martyr masochist

murder my mindset detached.


I am a shadow in the void

fragmented.

A systematic addict

addicted to static.

Looks good so far, I have not read them all yet and won't until the comp ends.
Due to the already great response, I've recruited help from Carpe_Noctem with the judging.

fly-ash

between the meshy
tangles I tear my sanity
to fragments forgettable
firing up remains
to illegible
micro-black pages

tight-jaw glaciers
of your indifferent polars
frighten

forces
tropical heart
in electrocution

degrees

wanting everything
wanting nothing
highest high
lowest low
laughter
tears
intoxicating excitement
darkened by fears
live
die
it matters not

speeding
contemplating the impact
how hard?
not too hard
