Senseless senses
Take away my eyes ;
There's no light inside of me.
Take away my hearing ;
My ear drums no longer resonate
Pluck each nerve from my body;
I thrive to feel something,
Please
Anything
other than me.
I've become so bitter as the years slowly catch up to the physical pain my body has endured over the years .
That God damn pain
The God damn years
The fucking art
This fucking lonliness
Atleast I am feeling something , even if it is regret and self pity .
-The Real Grifta

The Albino-ish Cat
Through the dark wood
Stood a dark house
And within this dark house
Lived a dark mouse
Who
At this precise moment in time
Was caught within the jaws
Of a dark cat
Called Ebony
Ebony wasn't hungry
So was merely toying with the dark mouse
Within the dark house
The dark mouse
Aware of the dark fate
Awaiting it
Squeaked loudly
Ebony the cat
Momentarily distracted
Opened it's jaws in surprise
The dark mouse
Sensing its opportunity to escape
Ran out of the jaws of the dark cat
Straight into...
Stood a dark house
And within this dark house
Lived a dark mouse

Within the dark house

My Diospyros Lotus
Round, lilliputian Diospyros Lotus, bell-shaped
Veiled in scales, a feeble shield
Yearns for its gardeners’ tender care
Nurture it, to grow, fully fledged
The not so divine fruit clings to life’s agony
Roots entrenched in the soil of chaos
Its fragile stem, xylem strained
Carries arid minerals to the leaf bud
I weep for its struggle to survive
Hoping my pearls might help it thrive
Yet all it does is worsen its plight
As it gazes at me with pity
Perhaps I've stifled it,...
Veiled in scales, a feeble shield
Yearns for its gardeners’ tender care
Nurture it, to grow, fully fledged
The not so divine fruit clings to life’s agony
Roots entrenched in the soil of chaos
Its fragile stem, xylem strained
Carries arid minerals to the leaf bud
I weep for its struggle to survive
Hoping my pearls might help it thrive
Yet all it does is worsen its plight
As it gazes at me with pity
Perhaps I've stifled it,...

grievous
you hurt my heart by saying nothing
you act cold and distant
how you turn it on and off
I burn hot
until you leave me hanging
then I withdraw
hiding my tears
you aren't worthy of my pain
but I love you and I know when I pull away
part of my soul goes with you
waiting on the bluebird of happiness
I saw that once all the crazies
were waiting for that damn bluebird
it could be a good omen
but I don't believe that
I was made to torture
I'm good to people
and they act like I don't exist ...

a simple puppet
look, I live on a hill
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down

Deep waters of broken hearts
I sail the ocean with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

Dove
a feather, soft and delicate, floating
lost to the wind
as the breeze takes control
guiding its path
lost to the wind
as the breeze takes control
guiding its path

Nirvana
It isn't much
no sounding alarms
aiding my bones
to rise up
the kettle boils,
I step outside into
the garden letting
everything unfold,
if there is a nirvana
it sounds like birdsong
as I close my eyes
inhaling through
my nose,
it looks like the
breaking of a
new day
as song thrush
bares witness to
tears meeting
my beige
patio
it was the most
peaceful song
I have ever
heard.
no sounding alarms
aiding my bones

I step outside into

the poem my period brought me
it’s been 107 days since I bled
my womb thick with exit signs
a few little deaths
long strands
streak across white tissue
as I look at them momentarily
revelling in an explanation
for the tears that flooded
the whole damn house
because sure
I blamed the moon
and Mercury
and that wayward bomb
as a valid reason as to why
I’ve felt so atomically shitty,
but there’s no-one else here
in the bathroom
behind a closed door
demanding...
my womb thick with exit signs
a few little deaths
long strands
streak across white tissue
as I look at them momentarily
revelling in an explanation
for the tears that flooded
the whole damn house

and Mercury
and that wayward bomb
as a valid reason as to why

disarmament
took me decades
to assemble my full armor
layers intricately woven
links fused by smothering pain
lightning flashes of agony
broken trust infusing each plate
all this...poured into its making
until it glowed with inner flames
it is...formidable
so when I disrobe...
removing it
...piece
by
piece...
baring my scarred vulnerability...
it is...
...no...
...small thing
approach...accordingly
to assemble my full armor
layers intricately woven
links fused by smothering pain
lightning flashes of agony
broken trust infusing each plate
all this...poured into its making
until it glowed with inner flames
it is...formidable
so when I disrobe...
removing it
...piece
by
piece...
baring my scarred vulnerability...
it is...

Waiting to Become Yaya
WAITING TO BECOME YAYA
The delicious chaos
of my bedroom
I live from bottles
–water, perfume, pill.
Gentle lullaby of generic Prozac
Framed orange crocus
Once
I thought I heard laughter
but it was my own haunted self
trying to fill up the holes
The delicious chaos
of my bedroom
I live from bottles
–water, perfume, pill.
Gentle lullaby of generic Prozac
Framed orange crocus
Once
I thought I heard laughter
but it was my own haunted self
trying to fill up the holes

Love Is An Illusion
Cloak runs clear
As I’m ravished in pretend.
An unwilling jerk
It forces me in a mirage.
Pastel cotton candy skies
A lake coated in a green hue
Glisten against one another.
A stench of pollen
So overwhelming it curls my nose hairs.
Everything is perfect.
As I brought the jar to my lips
I gasp for a sip
And the bitter taste clogs my tonsils.
Ultimately, it was the taste
The bitter coat of gin
That ushered me awake.
It’s the captivating effect of love.
Or alcohol.
