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.
Physical Contact
Physical Contact
I was told once to stick to safe physical contact.
Would it be safe to play with your hair?
Can I caress your face?
May I hold you tight against me?
Will you allow me to kiss your lips?
Will you wear this ring?
Are you going to cherish me forever?
Would it be safe for me to take your clothes off?
Can I feel your body?
May I thrust you against me?
Will you allow me to physically love you?
Will you have my child?
Are you going to love them forever?
Would it be safe for me to hold our child?
Can I...

Why do I fucking try
when all I do is cry
and I just want to dye,
my heart black and shield it giving off a sigh
but really I just want to die
don’t patronize and lie
I know I’m no better than a random homeless guy
there are no stars in my sky
nothing to do but be shy
no one should have to apply
to be perfect in your one eye
friends aren’t something you can buy
especially when you’re the man I mentioned before and spend hours asking why
it seems I have not one ally
but plenty ask for my alibi
I get that same look...

Consent to Me
Consent to Me
I went without,
without you my dear.
I saw the world,
with all it’s wonders,
yet of you was what I thought, of you was what I dreamt, and of you was what I spoke.
It did not take me long,
but the length of which was loose and limp,
it was too long before I knew I missed you.
I ran back so fast,
I did not stop to swim.
I flew back so far,
I did not wait to land.
I drove so bad,
I did not stop to park.
And when I found,
and I found you so,...

Deprivation of Hope: Be More than What's Happened to You
Deprivation of Hope: Be More than What’s Happened to You
Crying vulgar tears
overflowing sadness
far young for funerals
voice resides speaking softly
“Goodbye” heard without noise
bloody liquid bathes
trickles from a faucet
same she said for life
now only silence leaves lips
pain spreads like fire
contagion of Autumn
ashes cremated
escape my eyes
reality won’t present
truth is pain
Remembrance affection
lies not prevalent
now so relevant
whispering pillows
trembling sheets
nothing’s sacred anymore...

Maybe I’ll regret this
my decision to
live without you
I’ll pack but don’t think that
I won’t be sending money back
trust me you’ve lost the
absolutely best thing you ever had
because with that damn fool in my bed
I’m left with the feeling of rads
Maybe I’ll regret this but I’m not coming back
Maybe I’ll cry
I might just fucking die
‘cause we both know you're the reason
why did I fall for this
how could I think that
you would ever know
...
