Theres something bottomless internal
I'd deposit it in a coffer,
wrapping it up in
gleaming festive paper..
tied off with a bow..
I'd give this too you
This nothing.
I'd like to say
I care

Silence
All my
disseminated reveries
will not be soundless...
My misery
will not be harmonious..
I feel
I breathe
I compose...
Who am I
without versification?
An asinine Miss
with a defective core..
I am a composer of calamity...
My words
will not be repressed..

Cracked
Paint my world hues of blue
Shades of green
Purple tints
Something beautiful
Something better then this.
Paint me freedom from this cage
Dreams...
Blown glass hazards
never meant for stars to hold
always lost in the atmosphere.
Heavy holdings heres my splintered soul.
I lost my breath when I lost you.
The glass shattered and the cards fell down.
Walls up
I deal better inside myself.
Oceans scream
Skies cry
Is the scars deep...
Shades of green
Purple tints
Something beautiful
Something better then this.
Paint me freedom from this cage
Dreams...
Blown glass hazards
never meant for stars to hold
always lost in the atmosphere.
Heavy holdings heres my splintered soul.
I lost my breath when I lost you.
The glass shattered and the cards fell down.
Walls up
I deal better inside myself.
Oceans scream
Skies cry

Bleeding Ink
My pen bleeds sorrow,
staining perfect lines with unsteady hands.
All my words arent worth
the trees wasted for my bleeding soul..
When did the crumbling begin?
And when do we collapse?
Im more fucked up then you...
But
my branches are steady
and
my heart still puddles
when you whisper my name.
But who am I
to melt with so many misperfections?
I was always a fool for
the falling rain
and
our feelings have always bled the same...

Stand still
Every path chosen led to the same door.
Frozen in place
Time ticked on.
Sunsets painted diamonds against
Velvet canvasses,
The wind whipped and screamed,
Leave now or forever be stuck in standstill.
No right choices
Each ends the same.
Maybe frozen in place isn’t so bad after all....
She still has the stars
The time
The minutes as they tick by
The wind...
At least there is that.
She still has
A handful of empty dreams
a room full of boarded up memories..
Notebooks stained...
Frozen in place
Time ticked on.
Sunsets painted diamonds against
Velvet canvasses,
The wind whipped and screamed,
Leave now or forever be stuck in standstill.
No right choices
Each ends the same.
Maybe frozen in place isn’t so bad after all....
She still has the stars

The wind...

Escape
There's a heavy sence
Of woe,
That follows ..
When you become mindful
That everything horrible,
Corrupt,
and
problematic
In your life ..
Is no one's fault but
Your own.
When you assess every situation..
Take responsibility
And
realize the issues
You have,
are caused by
The choices you've made.
All the walls crash down
And
you look around
Only to see
Yourself existing in the
Midst of ruin ..
Where all is...

Abstract Static
There's no pain..
Just the gentle
Buzz
Of empty.
Blank screen
Midnight masterpiece
I watch dreams
in film reel abstract.
Black & blue.
3:00 am
type o negative
Static melody
abstract color
Words
Music
Life.
Pen stutters
out things
Only I comprehend ..
Blue lines whisper
"I don't give a fuck"
Sometimes I whisper
The same.
No sleep to be found
In glass houses....
Just the gentle
Buzz
Of empty.
Blank screen
Midnight masterpiece
I watch dreams
in film reel abstract.
Black & blue.

Sun Beam
I laid my spinning head against your chest
Heard the gentle
Thump
Thump
Of your heartbeat.
With every thump my sorrow melted.
My soul screamed
And you silenced it
Fingertips stroked the back of my neck
And tension was released in sighs.
I fell asleep to you gentle breathing
And awoke to the comfort of your arms.
I returned to storm clouds...
Hollow chested
...

Nightshade Melodies
In a icy mood
I find myself,
With a foggy mind..
Poisoned by
Crimson shadows
And
Mystical fractures.
I step out.
Breezes howl
Like sirens..
Skies a celestial inferno..
Speckled with
Peekaboo diamonds.
Within rests a
Golden glazed
Crescent.
I calculate time...
Converse with
Wilting flowers
And
Weepy willows.
They lift there violet
stained heads ,
And emerald
Dew kissed
Fingers rise.
No...

Dreamless Sleepless
2:30AM
(Tools blaring in the other room)
Tangled in blankets
Drifting
In and out
Of
Smoke clouds
And thoughtless
Thoughts.
Restless nights.

Another sleepless night
Passes me by.
I’d like to say
I’m really not tired
But the truth of the matter is
The bed feels like winter without you.
I spent the night awake smoking
Blown glass nightmares
And trying to steady shaky hands.
He came by with
Muffins and taurine.
2 hours past
Dirtying the sheets.
Time rolled by
“I’ll see you later”...

Imagine: Dreamstate Violet
Imagine:
Floodgates releasing
Violet dreamstate watercolor.
Luminous copper moon
floating within a glass
tangerine sky.
Blinking diamond stars
Exposed ..within
Midnight mosiac.
Mirrors aflame
black shards
Silver cinders
burning within
Orange fury.
Incandescent crystal
lacerated a spunglass
Scarlet heart.
Beauty composed.
Danger and harmony
tangled.
Fear hushed.
Wind raving.
Air
Crystal quartz
pure
Clear....
Floodgates releasing
Violet dreamstate watercolor.
Luminous copper moon
