Life Blood
What happens when
Blood keeps pumping from a broken heart?
Does it still have the same rhythm as before,
Or is each beat
More painful than the last?
Does blood feel like fire
As it makes its way around the body?
The broken heart skipping beats,
Frightfully comforting.
A whispered voice in the ear
Might heal all.
It might also
Wreck destruction,
Irreversible.

The Beginning of Reality
He stands,
Looking out to the horizon,
Wondering what will come next.
The endless possibilities,
The unknown chances,
Ends both sad and happy.
The sun rises and sets
As he watches and waits
For something real to come along,
These fake plastic flowers
Are surrounding the lands around,
Scattered, yet one might find beauty in them.
Everything becomes pixel-like,
Colour fades into black and white.
Trapped,
Trapped and knocking against the glass,
Trying to escape from this damned box.
He stands,
Both seeing...

Wondering what will come next.

The unknown chances,
Ends both sad and happy.
