Parting Ways
Memories,
chased, captured,lost.
Stains remain
of what once was.
Foolishly given away
without compensation.
The wars
escalate beyond caring.
Distance flows between
everything, consumed by time.
Happiness no longer
raging like untamed fires.
Fury gathered
by blind tragedies.
Desire once clinging,
slowly died.

I found a tiny shrew dead in the meadow
What weighs heavier
the life of a man
or the life of a shrew
to a blazing sun
or an ocean blue
or falling rain
or meadow dew.

Nothing
Don't tell me it's nothing
When it's obviously something
Otherwise you're not trusting
That we can talk about everything
When it's obviously something
Otherwise you're not trusting
That we can talk about everything

forms that need filling
my diet consists mostly of
bread in all its forms that
need filling matters of course
and I tend to like spam

Hideously Fascinating
Beautiful
yet no mystery,
that ugly fucking thing
is intriguing
makes one think
about what they
actually see.

A Deep Lake Beckons
The night has whispered
many strange things into the mind,
finding a sort of depth in the shallow
destruction of impulsivity that never
really goes away.

Sturdy...
The day breaks yet somehow still remains whole.
The day breaks, still remaining, while I'm crumbling down.
Is the spirit as sturdy as a promise?
Which is easily broken.
Maybe...
