The Time Fairy
Her lifeless body
Lay stricken
Upon the bell tower
Her wings
Frayed, and broken
Her words lay on her dying lips
Unspoken
Chasing ghosts
Vanquished dreams
Lost hope
And a fragile heart
Beating a tentative beat
Delicate tears
Caress the saddened soul
No longer whole
Her lifeless body
Still upon the bell tower
Awaiting a burial of sorts
Time moved forward
The hands of the clock
Together, cast her asunder
She was lost to time
Yet became part of it
As her silken...
Lay stricken
Upon the bell tower
Her wings
Frayed, and broken
Her words lay on her dying lips
Unspoken
Chasing ghosts
Vanquished dreams
Lost hope
And a fragile heart
Beating a tentative beat
Delicate tears
Caress the saddened soul
No longer whole
Her lifeless body
Still upon the bell tower
Awaiting a burial of sorts
Time moved forward
The hands of the clock
Together, cast her asunder
She was lost to time
Yet became part of it
As her silken...

Something Wicked this Way Comes (my rendition)
When diamonds dance on oceans waves
Sinks to the bottom of Poseidon's caves.
When push and pull are too strong to bear
and all who see turn to despair.
A shimmer of hope once appeared
on an ethereal face, it did glare.
Unbeknownst to all but true.
beneath the sweet is putrid glue.
With commanding grace and words,
that spread like fire.
All coward down
To its desire.
Claws and teeth were exposed.
Slashing through designer clothes.
Tears and wails floated on the wind.
As it echoes and...
Sinks to the bottom of Poseidon's caves.
When push and pull are too strong to bear
and all who see turn to despair.
A shimmer of hope once appeared
on an ethereal face, it did glare.
Unbeknownst to all but true.
beneath the sweet is putrid glue.
With commanding grace and words,
that spread like fire.
All coward down
To its desire.
Claws and teeth were exposed.
Slashing through designer clothes.
Tears and wails floated on the wind.
As it echoes and...

Summer Tragedy
Dog days of misfortune! Curses be fortune!
Sultry affliction beside the seaside’s beautiful fiction!
Shipwreck on the beach, for some a vacation of death!
This bottleneck constricted by the heat of my turtleneck.
Oh, I sweat in hope of the coming doom – so, so soon!
The catastrophe of lightning brings the agony of chastity!
So, to you my good beach goers, embrace the tragedy!
Sultry affliction beside the seaside’s beautiful fiction!
Shipwreck on the beach, for some a vacation of death!
This bottleneck constricted by the heat of my turtleneck.
Oh, I sweat in hope of the coming doom – so, so soon!
The catastrophe of lightning brings the agony of chastity!
So, to you my good beach goers, embrace the tragedy!

Existential Dread
I realized today why I have existential dread. Its darker reasons.
I have existential dread about why money exists, why people wear clothes, and so forth because my family made me feel disgusting. Like an animal. Not a human. Not a beautiful soul. But a body that they could take advantage of. That they could beat, rape, and destroy. I never felt like anything but a meat suit. A piece of meat.
I remember when I was 21, going out with this guy, thinking I liked him, but then going to the restroom, being vulnerable in there, feeling disgusted. All I kept thinking was...

Casualties
The soldiers all load up their guns
All set to fight at the rising sun
To kill and maim, a heartless horde
Until the enemy can fight no more
The battle blood runs bright and red
And sets a trap within their heads
The future filled with flashback pain
Every day they'll fight again
Tears and nighttime screams abound
They can't escape the dreams they've found
Til one by one the the rifles roar
Until the soldiers are no more
And in the end the score is tied
The losers dead the victors die
At their own hands the war will end ...
All set to fight at the rising sun
To kill and maim, a heartless horde
Until the enemy can fight no more
The battle blood runs bright and red
And sets a trap within their heads
The future filled with flashback pain
Every day they'll fight again
Tears and nighttime screams abound
They can't escape the dreams they've found
Til one by one the the rifles roar
Until the soldiers are no more
And in the end the score is tied
The losers dead the victors die
At their own hands the war will end ...
