Sepulchre Bloom
Come closer —
let me wear your breath like a veil,
soft as the static between prayers.
You press your name into my throat,
a black-flowered gospel blooming beneath glass skin.
I kneel —
mouth open, hands shaking,
drunk on the ache of you.
Every word I swallow carves you deeper —
sugar rot in the seams of my teeth.
Bury me in your ruin —
wrap me in the rhythm of your slow crucifixion.
Would you let me drown beneath you?
Would you carve a new name into my ribs
and leave me singing?
Hallowed. ...
let me wear your breath like a veil,
soft as the static between prayers.
You press your name into my throat,
a black-flowered gospel blooming beneath glass skin.
I kneel —
mouth open, hands shaking,
drunk on the ache of you.
Every word I swallow carves you deeper —
sugar rot in the seams of my teeth.
Bury me in your ruin —
wrap me in the rhythm of your slow crucifixion.
Would you let me drown beneath you?
Would you carve a new name into my ribs
and leave me singing?
Hallowed. ...

Throat Full of Glass
I've seen your face in the fever —
a bloom beneath black water,
your hands pulling constellations from my open mouth.
You wear stillness like a wound —
something holy, something breaking.
I would bleed to taste you —
split my throat on your name,
let the hymn of you hollow me out.
Every breath is a needle in the dark,
every prayer —
a slow crucifixion beneath your weight.
If I begged you to keep me,
would you wrap me in wire?
Would you carve my ruin
into something worth worshipping?
Or would you leave...
a bloom beneath black water,
your hands pulling constellations from my open mouth.
You wear stillness like a wound —
something holy, something breaking.
I would bleed to taste you —
split my throat on your name,
let the hymn of you hollow me out.
Every breath is a needle in the dark,
every prayer —
a slow crucifixion beneath your weight.
If I begged you to keep me,
would you wrap me in wire?
Would you carve my ruin
into something worth worshipping?
Or would you leave...

Shattered Glass Communion
Under dim neon halos,
you bloom like a hymn unsung—
fingers tracing wounds beneath silk night.
Your breath—
a slow confession against my throat,
fragile as static in the dying glow.
We fracture in rhythm,
whispers stitched in digital decay—
soft limbs bound to echoes,
pale prayers lost in smoked-out sanctuaries.
I wear your name like venom on the tongue,
a sacrament of ache and surrender.
You carved me open—
left the altar empty—
but still,
I kneel.
you bloom like a hymn unsung—
fingers tracing wounds beneath silk night.
Your breath—
a slow confession against my throat,
fragile as static in the dying glow.
We fracture in rhythm,
whispers stitched in digital decay—
soft limbs bound to echoes,
pale prayers lost in smoked-out sanctuaries.
I wear your name like venom on the tongue,
a sacrament of ache and surrender.
You carved me open—
left the altar empty—
but still,
I kneel.

Pickpockets
No one cares until narcistic pickpockets
steal their echoes from worn out shoes
along with memories of Mr. Bojangles
now a shadow of growing old until
narcistic pickpockets steal their echoes
steal their echoes from worn out shoes
along with memories of Mr. Bojangles
now a shadow of growing old until
narcistic pickpockets steal their echoes

I feel like I'm not appreciated- I am left notably irritated
I feel like I'm emotionally drained- I am left feeling alone and ashamed
I feel like nobody gives a shit- I am left wondering if I should just quit
I feel like I'm stuck in a terrain thats rough- I am left wondering if my life will always be this tough
I feel like I've been forgotten and rejected- I am left hating how I'm constantly tested
I feel like I'm starting to decay- I am left wondering why my life is going this way
I feel like trying would be a waste- I am left to feel like I'm a total...

sleep
i can't sleep,
i can't sleep at all
after he left,
i changed the place
but i can't sleep,
i changed the bed sheet
but i can't sleep,
i changed the pillow but
i can't sleep,
n now i have stopped sleeping,
and i can't sleep...
n i realized on a night
there was
NO SLEEP
in the bed,
ONLY BECAUSE,,,
i was in his embrace,
N that's why I was able to sleep,
it was the warm scent of his body
that mesmerized me
and that's why i was able to sleep,
sleep was not hidden anywhere, ...
i can't sleep at all
after he left,
i changed the place
but i can't sleep,
i changed the bed sheet
but i can't sleep,
i changed the pillow but
i can't sleep,
n now i have stopped sleeping,
and i can't sleep...
n i realized on a night
there was
NO SLEEP
in the bed,
ONLY BECAUSE,,,
i was in his embrace,
N that's why I was able to sleep,
it was the warm scent of his body
that mesmerized me

Let it Take Me...
I don’t feel anything.
Not fear, not sorrow, not longing.
Not even the echoes of what used to be pain.
Just the dull weight of existing,
dragging me down,
down,
down.
The nothingness is patient.
It does not pull,
does not rush,
does not beg me to give in.
It only waits,
steady, knowing,
like it always knew I’d end up here.
And maybe I did too.
I don’t fight it.
I don’t scream.
I don’t reach for something to hold onto.
What’s the point?
What’s left to hold?
Hope is a joke...
Not fear, not sorrow, not longing.
Not even the echoes of what used to be pain.
Just the dull weight of existing,
dragging me down,
down,
down.
The nothingness is patient.
It does not pull,
does not rush,
does not beg me to give in.
It only waits,
steady, knowing,
like it always knew I’d end up here.
And maybe I did too.
I don’t fight it.
I don’t scream.
I don’t reach for something to hold onto.
What’s the point?
What’s left to hold?
Hope is a joke...

how do you feel about golden showers?
I want to break your absence
down into smaller pieces
and mosaic the hell out of a bird bath
so I can piss in it every time
I miss you
down into smaller pieces
and mosaic the hell out of a bird bath
so I can piss in it every time
I miss you

Beyond Repair
Fallin',
Fallin',
Fallin',
Down the rabbit hole of despair
Tell me, are you there?
Tell me, are you there?
Fallin',
Fallin',
Fallin',
Down in a world so unfair
Am I beyond repair?
Am I beyond repair?
Walking in
Swimming out
Can't breath underwater
Sinking deeper
Embrace the reaper
Can't you see I'm going under?
Fallin',
Fallin',
Fallin',
...
Fallin',
Fallin',
Down the rabbit hole of despair
Tell me, are you there?
Tell me, are you there?
Fallin',
Fallin',
Fallin',
Down in a world so unfair
Am I beyond repair?
Am I beyond repair?
Walking in
Swimming out
Can't breath underwater
Sinking deeper
Embrace the reaper
Can't you see I'm going under?
Fallin',
Fallin',
Fallin',

Ode to the Faded
Behold the shaken mercy and rising misery
Unfold the dark past filled with secret trickery
Sold by emotions, devotions, and unfulfilling savory
Owned by cold, gold, and fate that is silvery
The world's full of unjust, sick lust and worships knavery
so hold on tightly to the choices, inner voices, and aching bravery
Exposed to an acquisitive life everything is fake and glittery
Road to the bliss; a lipless kiss— a distant scenery!
Unfold the dark past filled with secret trickery
Sold by emotions, devotions, and unfulfilling savory
Owned by cold, gold, and fate that is silvery
The world's full of unjust, sick lust and worships knavery
so hold on tightly to the choices, inner voices, and aching bravery
Exposed to an acquisitive life everything is fake and glittery
Road to the bliss; a lipless kiss— a distant scenery!

Heartless
I found
A scarlet heart
Lying broken
Upon my carpet
Within my room
It bled not
And showed no signs
Of ever
Being loved

PRISONERS AND POETS
Her spine was a question mark bent over gutters,
each vertebra a cracked streetlight flickering doubt.
Knuckles fossilized from sifting through static,
she rolled cigarettes with torn eviction notices,
blew smoke like forgotten prayers to a sky
too drunk to answer.
We met where the city exhaled its bad decisions,
me baptizing glassware in cheap regret,
her sitting in a pew of peeling vinyl,
a sermon of silence pressed between her lips.
She wore hunger like a designer curse,
spoke in a voice rusted shut..
"Hey prisoner,...
each vertebra a cracked streetlight flickering doubt.
Knuckles fossilized from sifting through static,
she rolled cigarettes with torn eviction notices,
blew smoke like forgotten prayers to a sky
too drunk to answer.
We met where the city exhaled its bad decisions,
me baptizing glassware in cheap regret,
her sitting in a pew of peeling vinyl,
a sermon of silence pressed between her lips.
She wore hunger like a designer curse,
spoke in a voice rusted shut..
"Hey prisoner,...
