Poet Introduction
My name's Miasmic Asylum I write more than just poetry but I'm just trying to get myself out there. I love writing and I like to receive criticism on my writing.
Aseptic Chaste
Aseptic Chaste
“When do you have to go?”
“Never.”
Speak words softly
make my fear magic
disappear
Nights I spent
filleting roses, Carnations
orchids crying
Hindsight oracles
Prophesize ambrosia tears
night-lights
Lucid fantasies
plenty for me
fishing seas
Alcatraz refugee
new prisons new plans
nicer wardens
my Etcetera
wants my thoughts
sweat company
I don’t need...

Seams
Seams
My seams loosen releasing frayed string.
Falling apart at the slightest tug.
I pull and pull proving my insanity.
With this connection to her I unravel.
It seems my seams exist for this.
Those seams reveal a forthcoming light.
My concrete cell creates pitch.
Darkest before the dawn.
Dawn brings a happiness lost.
Dawn releases me from the binding seams.
The seams of this life bring an epiphany.
Wide eye staring, big smile blaring.
Carry me away upon this tranquil river.
Seems these seams swiftly weave together....

Linked frail chains
bond a sad world
to a girl
Gillette pro glide
writs cease
my wit nonexistent
my pain ever alive
Shadows of a world
I'm the only one
I want to be free
solution being death
I brace
this challenge
San An. fault
paints cracks in my hands
Jealousy of Monet
starry night, dreadful fight
down, across, diagonal
mutate my skin
let it, let me, let us be
Taking my comfort
left with an itchy quilt and

Twenty Six Seconds
Twenty Six Seconds
The grass underneath me as I laid back thinking, felt softer than any bed I’ve been in before. It was the perfect spot for a night like this. The stars were so bright. There were so many, too many. They made me uncomfortable I felt too small to even exist. The warm breeze comforted me as much as it rustled my long hair. I curled up as best as I could and looked at who was laying calmly beside me. He slowly turned and smiled. This night was ultimately mesmerizing. The warm breeze brushed across him and brought the scent of his cologne into my nose, it was my...

Enchantment
Enchantment
As the giant Gothic doors of the keep closed I caught a glimpse of something beautiful. Long flowing scarlet hair cascading down the backside of a sparkling emerald dress. I knew that someday I would have to come back. I knew my love for her would not be quenched with just a kiss; as no love should, and I knew that that day would be soon.
I brushed the snow off my shoulders and began walking back to my villa, when the thought occurred to me that if I watched from her window maybe then I could allow her to see the love I felt for her. So I scaled the...

the room not so dark
not half so bright as
warm glows
We apologize
my heart hurts
joy, a new sensation
I’m in need of someone
in need of you
I remember
how I felt
I feel, how I’m feeling
your lips under the new moon
full with you
Very first
puritans would say I spoiled
I bloomed with bright colors
you opened me
and stuck inside
I lean
I reach in
but I snatch away
don’t move too fast or I’ll lose ...

Today
Today
I must find some peace today,
Grit my teeth and swallow,
My pain and pride and pleasure,
I must find some peace today.
I must find some peace today,
With all the thoughts with in my head,
How improbable, impossible peace may be,
I must find some peace today.
I must find some peace today,
Letting go all my ties to what I love,
Cut loose all emotions to begin to feel,
I must find some peace today.
I must find some peace today,
Without, my life will not last,
Without, my life will not be a life,
I must...

Once I Thought
Once I Thought
With once a thought, a thought once more,
once more a thought to destroy,
once more a thought to create,
once more a thought, a thought once thought.
Living and giving,
taking and breaking,
without a thought,
to live and take a thought not yours.
With once a thought, a thought once more,
once more a thought to cry,
once more a thought to die,
to lie, to sigh,
once more a thought, a thought once thought.
With once a thought, a thought once more,
a thought to give,
give up, lay down,
a thought...

Decompose

Tripped myself up
death on my leg
within the grip
resurrected
Darko’s easter sunday
pursued by the dead
biting at my neck
tasting aorta
I remember that time
that place
I remember, you
when my memories contract
-corrupt
tainted saint of vain
-martyr
they’re back
the dead
claw my back
your breath on my neck
they scarf and swallow
soft lips taste me
feast upon me
soft whipped cream release
gobble up
have a meal
my zombie like memories
and me

Hyperventilate
Hyperventilate
Shallow deep breaths
haze and fog clear
disbelieving eyes
crying bug bites
failing Neuralyzer
I don’t want to see
but I know you’re there
it happened- DON’T LIE
I witnessed, heard it all
Tartarus heart sinks
room number forgotten
check every room
panic sets in
the voices, the songs
all said the same
I watched for so long
my voice had lagged
you finally see
you’re valentine awaits
“Baby it’s not-”
deadbolt turns and rests
I lost my breath on the way
shallow deep breaths ...

Estranged
Estranged
My way with words
never got me anywhere
it got me nothing
but you
you were the aloe
my burns never felt so good
you became the moon
to my sea
sway my waves
moon to my traveler
light my forest
in a fire of you
you became my goddess
I called and called
my prayers had no reception
even Atreyu lost Artax
shed your skin
venom underneath
it’s lonely inside you
came in the night
and gouged out
all my heart
but...
