Ashes
Do you ever feel your thoughts so dry
that they roll off your tounge like gravel
as if dust motes were stuck in your throat
reaching to your belly which is uneasy and queasy
rolling like the seven seas
reaching for anything to anchor yourself
to bring you back to reality
making some sense to your backwards thinking
to put you topside again
i'm reaching for heaven but only finding hell
my raspy voice cutting edges in the paper
i'm inkinking on
my blood spilling
stomach bile filling pages
I wish I had something beautiful to write about
though i've lived an ugly life
and like the grindstone it's beaten me down
powdered me into ashes blown about by the smallest winds
I wish I could say i've grown stronger for the experinece
but i've only become afraid
scared of what is to come heaven or hell for the deeds i've done
that they roll off your tounge like gravel
as if dust motes were stuck in your throat
reaching to your belly which is uneasy and queasy
rolling like the seven seas
reaching for anything to anchor yourself
to bring you back to reality
making some sense to your backwards thinking
to put you topside again
i'm reaching for heaven but only finding hell
my raspy voice cutting edges in the paper
i'm inkinking on
my blood spilling
stomach bile filling pages
I wish I had something beautiful to write about
though i've lived an ugly life
and like the grindstone it's beaten me down
powdered me into ashes blown about by the smallest winds
I wish I could say i've grown stronger for the experinece
but i've only become afraid
scared of what is to come heaven or hell for the deeds i've done

A dark write of passages indeed Dear Crim.
Your ink always grinds truths in starkness.
we are only as evil as we feel, we live hell in the ways it is delivered each individual...we all walk our way trying to escape it...Never shall burn what is a trying soul-so says Soul
Head Up Kind Crim!!!

I escaped all of my hell's by escaping inside my head, the mind can travel and the spirit can fly, even if the body is stuck. That is how I got through so much, I often ink my otherworld's.
Very profound and poignant Crim, I feel you reaching out. Excellent release dear. :)

Yes, I think most people have. I like to think something can only be beautiful untill after it looks repulsive. A psychological thing maybe but it's how I precipice things I like. This was a captivating poem from your heart and it shows. I don't believe hell would claim such an earnest person.

A walk along the Pacific coast at dusk can give us a glimpse of "heaven" and let us see no matter the depth of poor choices we make, hope rises daily with the sun:)
