CYANOSIS
You draw me in
Collapse, tension
Pneumothorax
Held accountable
Her finger hovers
Extended, glass
Will me into existence
Poised for inheritance
My hands lay frozen
Upon your throat
You know the cold I wore
As it bites your lungs
And blues the nabla

PAINTED IN VERMILION
As the aberrant dawn came
With spate of perception
And an icterus glow
My yearning shined brighter
Yet an echo of the dark
And sooner than comfort dissipates
I'd cherish the cold that lingered
I am within
Cruel chelicerae, athirst
In an affair with dusk
Anywhere is bifurcate
Past the vale of sloth
Oh, twisted and lush
Entangle me in credence
Of all time, there is no waste
Of all matter, but a trace
Parabola converged, assured
That I will never change
Yet...
With spate of perception

Anywhere is bifurcate
Past the vale of sloth
Oh, twisted and lush

BUTTERFLY
Time became oscillation
Indeed, a fruitless swaying
Of which there is no deviation
No bridge from tangents
To watch her, perpetual
Death equilibrium
Absorbing the paradox...
I can't save her...
Corroded by rust of inevitability
Would any heart react the same?
And every instance
That tarn of blood
Winnowed into my eyes
As a stream rejoins the sea
That image remains as I leap
And I never sleep
She knows nothing
Of...

LITTLE BOY
Death swirls at my feet
And a memory on repeat
As you snuffed the air in me
Know that I dared to breathe
The curtains keep the light at bay
Yet they glow brighter every day
Footprints echo past the door
Matched the beating of my heart
Whispers dance beneath the floor
But I can't hear them anymore
What's the use in moving on?
When everything worth love is gone?
And now there's comfort in the trees
Lark songs shifting through the breeze
And now there's safety in the dark ...
And a memory on repeat
As you snuffed the air in me
Know that I dared to breathe
The curtains keep the light at bay
Yet they glow brighter every day
Footprints echo past the door
Matched the beating of my heart
Whispers dance beneath the floor
But I can't hear them anymore
What's the use in moving on?
When everything worth love is gone?
And now there's comfort in the trees
Lark songs shifting through the breeze
And now there's safety in the dark ...

TRAFFIC : CAGE
Inhalation
Iron taste, charcoal lips
The smears of every word
That splay my wish
Hallucination
Bloodshot, polished sky
Read me wide tonight
Before I'm able to sleep
You pulled me down
From torture and rage
My God in a cage
What's lost, I found
Mounds beneath the pain
My God in a
Cage
Pulp and filth
Steel bar headrest
Never question why
As my voice died
Cannot resist to spill
Eaten alive inside
Salivated, frozen sweat
And formaldehyde ...
Iron taste, charcoal lips
The smears of every word
That splay my wish
Hallucination
Bloodshot, polished sky
Read me wide tonight
Before I'm able to sleep
You pulled me down
From torture and rage
My God in a cage
What's lost, I found
Mounds beneath the pain
My God in a
Cage
Pulp and filth
Steel bar headrest
Never question why
As my voice died
Cannot resist to spill
Eaten alive inside
Salivated, frozen sweat

OCH KOCHANIE
Real as the soles, caked with rime
That empty into the wood and lime
That rest nigh the front door
And the allure of that homely flame
Dancing upon the windowpane
That beckons moths to the glass
And the gaps in the symphonic white
To where her translucent thoughts lie
And the bite of the howling wind
Seeping into the hall to meet its kin
That hadn't been felt before
And those orbs that glisten with foreboding
As the crackling of the flame falls silent...
That empty into the wood and lime
That rest nigh the front door
And the allure of that homely flame
Dancing upon the windowpane
That beckons moths to the glass
And the gaps in the symphonic white
To where her translucent thoughts lie
And the bite of the howling wind
Seeping into the hall to meet its kin
That hadn't been felt before
And those orbs that glisten with foreboding
As the crackling of the flame falls silent...

ANIMA
I. OF THE DIHEDRAL SELF I: MIND
'Tunneling through the dark
There is a singular, dim light
Aeons away, yet ever so close'
Reflected in his eyes
Was a deep cinnabar hue
Of the sunset that betrayed him
Yet the panic begins to subside
As the void encroaches
Beyond the seen, despoiled sheen
Stains of departed empathy
There waits a thousand words
To replicate humanity
As vision fades beneath the white
A symptom reached, a spark ignites
As I wade through ghosts of the moon ...

AN OMINOUS AIR FILLS THIS PLACE
A word rests upon a discarded page
Concave, as it bled from a voiceless heart
Reaching for lines that could mask the disdain
Of finding that the end has become the start
'ANIMA'

LADDER OF NIL
Internalized acrimony
Vessel of a conceptualized eternity
Folding into itself
A lesion upon reason
But those pages do not transcend
And those wings shall be defeathered
Transient self, the oblivious
Where thoughts became a ladder
Once arisen, destined to fall
As weight avails those rungs
And gravity remains once all have gone
To lust for the surreptitious
Consume, become
Ignorant of the waste we left behind
As crowns descend upon dusty thrones
Sloped eyes,...
Vessel of a conceptualized eternity
Folding into itself
A lesion upon reason
But those pages do not transcend
And those wings shall be defeathered
Transient self, the oblivious
Where thoughts became a ladder
Once arisen, destined to fall
As weight avails those rungs
And gravity remains once all have gone
To lust for the surreptitious
Consume, become
Ignorant of the waste we left behind
As crowns descend upon dusty thrones

MARIONETTE
Lethargy...
A split in the sides
Acid membranes
Boil my insides
Scalding rain
Waterfall of I
That only I behold
As it drains into nigh
Too tired to feel
Tethered to the day
Dance, marionette
Until your threads fray
Dance...
A split in the sides
Acid membranes
Boil my insides
Scalding rain
Waterfall of I
That only I behold
As it drains into nigh
Too tired to feel
Tethered to the day
Dance, marionette
Until your threads fray
Dance...
