April Fall
The Scottish court thing
Just in time for Spring
Where i'd hoped to be whiling away the hours
With my head amongst the flowers
When sunny days soon start to feel warm
A time when murmurations of Starlings swarm
Beautiful birdsong, floating on the air
Wonderful, and most debonair
The Cherry Blossoms, comes, and goes
Putting on a magnifiscent show
But the cold weather, replaced by cold hearts
As humanity arrives, then soon departs
I hope i'm not to early to curse
Aprils' not o0ver yet, it could get worse
by Jemia

idyllic nightmare
Idyllic nightmare
I know they are good people who want us to leave
they don't know it is their time, what's up because
our time is fine, but they fail to grasp that they
are past the clock, it has belled twice
We have admired their garden with flowers
deep green lawn and made of plastic as are
the red roses, nothing is alive, but we pretend
like them, that they are not dead
We failed to ask the obvious question. Why are
we are here? Did they invite us? Or did we show up
in a world that has died, what we see is us who
exists...

deeper
Disastrous thoughts collide within me
to face it head-on or bury it
a thistle of thorns, my cloud
My happiness, taken by an awful feeling
shrouded in gloom, it picks
Dreaded doom, it flowers
It's anxiety's trick and power
terrorizing my peace of mind
Thoughts of a dangerous nature threaten
My soul huddles against it
It's unnatural how homey the dark feels
honesties glare burns
hideous understanding
I am the devil of my own making
crisis of faith turns me mute
With nothing to answer against it ...
to face it head-on or bury it
a thistle of thorns, my cloud
My happiness, taken by an awful feeling
shrouded in gloom, it picks
Dreaded doom, it flowers
It's anxiety's trick and power
terrorizing my peace of mind
Thoughts of a dangerous nature threaten
My soul huddles against it
It's unnatural how homey the dark feels
honesties glare burns
hideous understanding
I am the devil of my own making
crisis of faith turns me mute
With nothing to answer against it ...

forget
Darkness Bane, my hurt is insane
curled into a ball, I balk
With shivers of madness, I tremble
Sleek with regret, I stutter
needful cage of a somber tone
Releasing these feelings, necessary
My keenness can be felt deeply
If you listen to the silent weep
Cloistered vision, I'm hard on myself
There is no value
incessant laughter says I'm a failure
unkempt rebellion I slack
Where I should be taught
speaking expletives into being
even those not heard of
because they reside in me
words formed...

fret
Darkness dread, my fear is fed
In the gothic gloom, squander
Feelings take a toll
expending them freely
leaves one with a dull ache
emptiness ensues with fretful thoughts
I'm not liked of this, I'm sure
spurned affections answer for me
Little lady, so bare
Cover your nakedness
a multitude of imperfections we see
needful redemption afflicted sorrow
Be it now or on the morrow
When you realize your folly
incessant chatter rankles my nerves
It's as if the bleak is giving a sermon
to which there is...

molten feelings
Feelings erupt within me
And I swallow them back down
Volcanic, I drink the lava
burning as it goes
until nothing but hot ash comes from my mouth
It's simmering rage beneath
With small escapes of magma
But the intensity it creates
causes small islands around me
The anger is not directed at anyone
Simply, it is present
When the pressure builds
I have no way to vent fully
The earth moves underneath me
The outside world shifts
And the molten fire threatens again
It is a balancing act, holding...
And I swallow them back down

burning as it goes

But the intensity it creates

And the molten fire threatens again

brace for it
21 of 30
words finally recede
like fog rolling across the water
as sun tickles the surface
glimmering flickers of hope
tugging at shallow breaths
teasing...
...more...
I know you've got it in you
come on
breathe deeper
fill those aching lungs
& get up
!!
the pillow lies rumpled & abandoned
sheets cooling
where the shape of me still lies
comfort left behind
it's the start that's the hardest
facing the unknown
...is a daily occurrence
some days... ...

empty
emptiness ensues when it's quiet
A lonely feeling cradles me
Something I can't escape
a big difference from the fullness I feel at other times
When I hear so clearly
Then blank nothingness
My soul is no longer connected
Earthbound, I can't touch the sky
fleeting feeling to believe
It all seems like a dream
My being rises so high
just to crash into my mortality
leaving me feeling all too human
a pressing moment
With all doors barred
With thoughts, I can't hack it
careening on edge ...
