Onset of Oblivion
From the depths rises a shadow
Nebulous specter, unconscious collector.
Eight tongued it fails to satiate
The singular thirst of oblivion.
Nebulous specter, unconscious collector.
Eight tongued it fails to satiate

Erosion of Self
These undulating waves beckon
Their billowy and unrequited love
Towards unsure cordial shores.
Crippling themselves upon
Cliffs of their own creation.
And Water promised sanctuary
Laughter and a symphony
But all she received
Were broken beaches
Of dissymmetry
As her once lovely coast erodes
Into the pink promised horizon
She finds herself wondering
What more she could give
To satiate Water’s thirst.
And the lust raged tempest
Rears this lascivious leviathan
Who craves love and...
Their billowy and unrequited love
Towards unsure cordial shores.
Crippling themselves upon
Cliffs of their own creation.
And Water promised sanctuary
Laughter and a symphony
But all she received
Were broken beaches
Of dissymmetry
As her once lovely coast erodes
Into the pink promised horizon
She finds herself wondering
What more she could give
To satiate Water’s thirst.
And the lust raged tempest
Rears this lascivious leviathan
Who craves love and...

Rememberance of Snow
What is a dream but a future memory
What is a seam but a suture and
A past treachery
He stands at an intersection
Between these two lovers
Interpersonal inspection
Personal dereliction from a brother
He sees a chance to be free
But at what cost to thee
He can’t bring a remedy
Nor calm, quiet, solemnity
As the snow falls onto loose earth
He knows its a hex, a curse
To not be claimed instead
To live in maimed undeath.
What is a seam but a suture and
A past treachery
He stands at an intersection
Between these two lovers
Interpersonal inspection
Personal dereliction from a brother
He sees a chance to be free
But at what cost to thee
He can’t bring a remedy
Nor calm, quiet, solemnity
As the snow falls onto loose earth
He knows its a hex, a curse
To not be claimed instead
To live in maimed undeath.

The End
The autumn leaves so beautiful
Swirling away in the wind
Kaleidoscopic and bountiful
Their end will soon begin.
Sifting sands spiraling
Towards tired and tried completion.
A dire spire with no Spring
Expression and soul to extinction
Pages passing by
Their words barely a blur
Begging to be seen
By a you, me, or Her
The red line signaling Dawn
As light bleeds into Day
Bidding the night begone
Fleeting thoughts fall to Decay.
Swirling away in the wind
Kaleidoscopic and bountiful
Their end will soon begin.
Sifting sands spiraling
Towards tired and tried completion.
A dire spire with no Spring
Expression and soul to extinction
Pages passing by
Their words barely a blur
Begging to be seen
By a you, me, or Her
The red line signaling Dawn
As light bleeds into Day
Bidding the night begone
Fleeting thoughts fall to Decay.

Me
I marvel at your eyes
And the cost of your disguise
I cough and I realize
That it’s your cause I despise
I glance at the mirror
This trance is getting clearer
A chance to hear her
Pure Elegance, Fear, Or...
I was never what they labeled
I’m clever and maybe stable
However, I am not some fable
I am Me.
And the cost of your disguise
I cough and I realize
That it’s your cause I despise
I glance at the mirror
This trance is getting clearer
A chance to hear her
Pure Elegance, Fear, Or...
I was never what they labeled
I’m clever and maybe stable
However, I am not some fable
I am Me.

My Hourglass
You are my hourglass
That I wake up to.
And the moments
Pass beautifully through you.
The shine in your eyes
Grows only brighter
As time flies by
Ever higher
The love in your smile
Pools into an ocean
The very motion a denial
Of the sifting sands.
Your body may age
Your bones may weaken
But this life is just a stage
Of the passing season
That I wake up to.
And the moments
Pass beautifully through you.
The shine in your eyes
Grows only brighter
As time flies by
Ever higher
The love in your smile
Pools into an ocean
The very motion a denial
Of the sifting sands.
Your body may age
Your bones may weaken
But this life is just a stage
Of the passing season

What's The Difference?
Is there light
Where there’s might?
Is the dark
A place without heart?
With few shades of in between
What does it mean to be seen?
Where there’s might?
Is the dark
A place without heart?
With few shades of in between
What does it mean to be seen?

Abby
There’s a home for you here
Lovely dove.
There’s naught for you to fear
Little Love.
For you are cherished
Lovely dove.
There’s naught for you to fear
Little Love.
For you are cherished

Afterlife
What lies beyond the light
Shrouded in infinite night
A shadow reminiscent
Of greatness or malevolence?
Is it a kiss in the wind
To be waited for?
Or a closed fist
To shatter ignorance?
Is there a greater existence
Beyond this repeating remembrance?
Something more than living memories
Soon to be lost in revery?
What importance does it make
For our own sake?
That the great abyss will swallow
And we will follow
Shrouded in infinite night
A shadow reminiscent
Of greatness or malevolence?
Is it a kiss in the wind
To be waited for?
Or a closed fist
To shatter ignorance?
Is there a greater existence
Beyond this repeating remembrance?
Something more than living memories
Soon to be lost in revery?
What importance does it make
For our own sake?
That the great abyss will swallow
And we will follow

Ice
Icy rains
Drive away
The pain
Icy veins
Pumping stains
To drain
Icy prick
Draws a bit
Pushes shit
Icy stick
Bends stiff
Into this
Icy eyes
Drink dye
A tint of dead inside
Drive away
The pain
Icy veins
Pumping stains
To drain
Icy prick
Draws a bit
Pushes shit
Icy stick
Bends stiff
Into this
Icy eyes
Drink dye
A tint of dead inside

Two Corners
I live in two corners
I feel myself being pulled
I can not exist in two
Let alone one
I feel myself being pulled
I can not exist in two
Let alone one

A Game Without A Name
A game without a name
Is what I seek
I want to speak
Without a voice
I want to write
Without telling a lie
I want to go away
Into fantasy
I want to pretend
To be real
Is what I seek
I want to speak
Without a voice
I want to write
Without telling a lie
I want to go away
Into fantasy
I want to pretend
To be real
