Ghost
How can i blanket this statement?
it's cold upon the pavement
before i'm dead
my gravestone, desecrated
the sky is darkened grey
as the rain washes me away
but above the clouds the sun still shines
unseen to me
buried in my mind
worm gnawed over time
unbent but cracked of spine
i don't believe
for here i am the ghost
desperate for transparency
for here i am the ghost
once more again
alone once more and craving
to be treated like a human
alone once more am i ...

red strings of blood
I carry you like a cat caught in a ball of wool
so close, chaotic, untamed
I push and you pull
until I'm too entangled to break free
there are no blades sharp enough
to sever the bonds we love
and the ones we hate
I can't live with you
and I can't live without you
so I try and live between us
and fail us both
when the swords are drawn
tradition and sanity opposite sides
of the same coin we're made from
I carry you like a cat caught in a ball of wool
so close, chaotic, untamed
you push and I pull ...
so close, chaotic, untamed
I push and you pull
until I'm too entangled to break free
there are no blades sharp enough

I can't live with you

so I try and live between us
and fail us both
when the swords are drawn

silence sits heavy
were they imaginary?
faceless forlorn screen

Robin
I really wish I was dreaming
But you are as real as day
Two years, no contact
Still gorgeous till today
I really wish this was just a crush
To move on, for my sake.
But then your smile fills the room
And of true happiness I shake
I really wish I could turn back time
And ask you on a date
Long ago we were both stupid
But now it would feel great
You're my biggest mistake
Of an already messed up life
It's hard to look at you now
So this is my goodbye
I will love you...
But you are as real as day
Two years, no contact
Still gorgeous till today
I really wish this was just a crush
To move on, for my sake.
But then your smile fills the room
And of true happiness I shake
I really wish I could turn back time
And ask you on a date
Long ago we were both stupid
But now it would feel great
You're my biggest mistake
Of an already messed up life
It's hard to look at you now
So this is my goodbye
I will love you...

Harman and Descartes
Imprint on a shoulder
an a/c's hand.
The clover machination
quivers
like a pulsar the crinkled leaf.
Wisp, wisp — dulled repulsive rotation,
to an evening; all things set.
Winter burrows in the skin.
Hail stones roll about the follicles.
Where the hot core of moving blood
quells,
that CPU clocks at a high heart
'till removed.
The metal's so damn cold.
—Discovering once one's eye in a vat
when seal spins off the surface thought
and ethos illegible...
an a/c's hand.

Sunset
The sun slowly climbs down from the sky
It drops behind the peak of the mountain
And gently touches the surface of the sea
The amber and purplish sunset fascinates me
In a few minutes, darkness will cover the land
The sun will disappear and crickets will chirp
I stand on the slope overlooking the valley
It’s so peaceful and quiet out here at dusk,
But I can’t ignore the loneliness in my heart
The beauty of sunset temporarily eases my pain
Evenfall is my solace when I’m on this ridge
I wish I could follow the sunset...
It drops behind the peak of the mountain
And gently touches the surface of the sea
The amber and purplish sunset fascinates me
In a few minutes, darkness will cover the land
The sun will disappear and crickets will chirp
I stand on the slope overlooking the valley
It’s so peaceful and quiet out here at dusk,
But I can’t ignore the loneliness in my heart
The beauty of sunset temporarily eases my pain
Evenfall is my solace when I’m on this ridge
I wish I could follow the sunset...

Barracks
As the jets fly overhead,
I stare at the dry wall and wait for the next day to arrive.
A self assigned prison, isolation in exchange for love.
This is a temporary struggle, yet the end seems so far away.
Another jet passes
Idle hands become the devils playthings.
I occupy my time with gluttony and hedonism, for I have expended all other viable options.
I could paint the walls with my own vomit, to pass the time and control my lingering hunger
But I refrain for they are not my own.
Another hour passes.
Then two.

reading you
reading the way that you move
reading how you react to the things that i do
reading how you really feel
reading your true love language in between the lines
reading that your words are untrue
reading your face
open book stories
chapter after chapter
reading that this isn't even you
where is the real you?
you say you like pink
i read that you love blue
hard cover
but ill keep reading

For you I would
So beautiful to see you here.
I find myself when I am lost inside of you.
Thoughts lost to never seeing you again,
Were proven to not be true.
So beautiful to see you here.
I wish I could stay here too.
Watching beautiful women walk past my window.
Only ever watch them go and I stay inside my hole.
I am a gold fish in this room and I am losing my colour.
Forgotten how to love and forgotten all my lovers.
My heart is a thousand sun’s;
They were ignited by your smile for me.
Each of the stars that made me,...
I find myself when I am lost inside of you.

Eyes wide Shut
Eyes open wide,
a permanent nightfall takes over my vision,
as hard as i try to see, to focus,
there's nothing to see.
Darkness consumes me,
my senses redundant..
Crouched down in a corner,
soundlessly crying out for help,
but no one can hear,
a river falls from my face
from tear after tear..
Empty reflections,
the time filled with dread..
thoughts and emotions
tormenting my head.
The darkness playing host
orchestrating proceedings
and directing events,
taking control...
a permanent nightfall takes over my vision,
as hard as i try to see, to focus,
there's nothing to see.
Darkness consumes me,

Crouched down in a corner,
soundlessly crying out for help,

a river falls from my face
from tear after tear..
Empty reflections,
the time filled with dread..
thoughts and emotions
tormenting my head.
The darkness playing host
orchestrating proceedings

memories
you cannot retrace
what has been erased
follow the sorrow down
to a sunken place
that you cannot escape
tolerate the heartache
you can’t walk away
you hate the way
you can’t feel the pain
like acid rain
life decays
yesterday tomorrow & today
start to overlay
subdue and void of hue
i wont admit i’m avoiding you
nothing left for you to do
just bid me adieu
the light in my eyes left with you
trying to reminisce
this was once so tangible
evaporate into mist,...

Drowning
Do you see me?
Can you hear me?
I am right here!
I am screaming and flailing
Fighting not to be consumed by the storm
Barraged by waves of sorrow
Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks
Slowly sinking below the surface
Cries muffled by claps of thunder
I am begging for help
You didn't see me in time
I am swallowed by a sea of apathy
Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore
I am sunken in this trench of despair
Can you hear me?
I am right here!
I am screaming and flailing
Fighting not to be consumed by the storm
Barraged by waves of sorrow
Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks
Slowly sinking below the surface
Cries muffled by claps of thunder
I am begging for help
You didn't see me in time
I am swallowed by a sea of apathy
Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore
I am sunken in this trench of despair
