Deathless Revelation
the world feels empty drab and bland
autumn fires burn in black and white
the chilly breeze feels numb against my skin
and motionless in my eyes
the sun doesn't shine on me today
I see its glow across the sky
it does not warm within my shadow
and its rays do not affect my sight
deadened trees stand as corpses of seasons past
the leaves have dried and fallen to the ground
in piles they lay littering the landscape
decaying without a sound
the echo of crushing bones under foot
lifeless death beneath my shoe
deafened by the...

Dying Inspiration
the hole in the floor lets the light in
while the window in the door casts a shadow of doubt
nailed shut to keep the ideas inside
hidden words fall to the floor and die
the air bows to a fleck of dust
floating upon the breath of a dying thought
nothing becomes everything
and everything is cast aside
it all matters naught when the air is burning
invisible flames scorch the edges of reality
and everything becomes something
inspiration turns to ash and is swept away
in a whirlwind of dying thoughts and ideas
the air grows stale and stagnant...

Unique Quandary
upon the street
within a dream
I ran across something unique
and as it seemed
so strange to me
this thing that I could not seem to see
but...

created such a quandary for me

Flower
I painted a picture of a flower
in beautiful vivrant colors
hues of purple
with highlights of pink
its strong stem
a brilliant green
upon a table within a vase
refracting light
in a rainbow state
crystal clear
as the water within
did the flower I painted
rest in
I painted the leaves
with veins to see
my brushstrokes flowing
so easily
lifelines stretching to the tips
every detail cast in brilliance
even the hairs that raise upon the stem
to allow the condensation in
each and every line
did...

Crashing In On Me
the nerve shattering silence
of a darkened room
screams echoed through my head
sleep did not come easy
as I wallowed in my grief
my mind was alive
with thoughts of death
a snapshot that I have never seen
pictures of closed eyes
and crossed hands
thoughtless teardrops
stain my pillow
and leave a salty trail
on my cheeks
crusts of pain adorn my skin
as a weary reminder
I felt the heavy rhythm of my
heartbeat in my chest
a stinging pain as accompaniment
the concerto of operatic pain
played on...

Decay
upon the ground a reeking corpse
decaying
through a hole in my soul
I can see the shadow of death
casted from a light that does not exist
a figure of black moves
across a blackened plane
with seamless organic motion
the blackest of black
as seen only through the periphery
I can feel the creeping darkness
gather in my eyes
this is where the light goes to die
as I inhale
I can taste the lights decay on my tongue
I scoff
and the rancidness of death
dances in my mouth
a refracted thought that dies
before it...

Broken realities and Broken Teeth
everything changes in the blink of an eye
my thoughts blur with the reality of the moment
while I stand
paralyzed
the world spins around me
time ticks in slow motion
but only in my mind
making eye contact with strangers
they have no idea that my life has changed
that my reality has shifted
they take no notice that
I have lost functionality
that I mercilessly grind my teeth to nubs
and that I have clenched my fists so tightly
that my hands have gone numb
a thousands thoughts
enter my head
but none that I...

Forever
the door swings open
and a flood rushes in
an overwhelming familiarity
a wash of dread
upon a fragile spirit
weighs heavily in suspended air
the loss of time
upon a ticking clock
clicking in reverse
mocking the unrelenting motion
of an aging existence
horror befalls the imagination
of the afflicted
raging beneath the breastbone
shallow breath
begets a dying heart
tiny quakes erupt
across a liquid surface
ripples cause nerves
to come alive
shocks of electricity
numb the lips and fingertips...

Melting Pot of Color
I saw the atmosphere
as through the eyes of God
a swirling kaleidoscope
of colors intertwined
mixing
melding
and morphing
into a whirling
swirling
collage of organic madness
blues became reds
as reds are transformed into greens
a melting pot of color is seen
as through the eyes of God
a swirling kaleidoscope
of colors intertwined
mixing
melding
and morphing
into a whirling
swirling
collage of organic madness
blues became reds
as reds are transformed into greens
a melting pot of color is seen

Eerie Tone
dark light washes
over my soul
the icy touch of
an ancient shadow
chills race up my spine
as the light vanishes
from my eyes
darkness sets an
eerie tone
over my soul
the icy touch of
an ancient shadow
chills race up my spine
as the light vanishes
from my eyes
darkness sets an
eerie tone
