Ten

If you only knew what the future held

The struggle, turmoil, utter hell

you can never go back

dark one

cast from the heavens like satan himself

a fall towards damnation – earth?

bleak and meager and blind and deaf

tearing sinew and bloody hands

horns sprout out of your skull

pushing out of the soil like a seed

you laugh and shake your head

pointed teeth and forked tongue

and here – you think to yourself

you were supposed to be

a lightworker.

shopping cart

waiting underneath a veil

A shabby toy left in the closet

An awareness that described peace

As something you found on the playground

Every night step closer to tip toe in the dark

Through forest hedges and pillow forts and parks that dont have names

A simple way to show you what we mean

Would be a mystery wrapped around your heart

A kite snagged in the branches of a tree

Its twisted tails and broken poles convey a greeting

Beckoning you to rescue what you once cherished

You can see it, but you cant quite reach

And, if you managed to get it down

It would never fly the same.

A shopping cart in the middle of the woods

Now how did that get here?ย 

Sometimes we feel so out of place

Blue

Standing slowly sands of time trickle down to stay in line a missing whisper faded ears reverberated through thick glue and sheltered soft in hues of blue and rue a headache brewing under skin a message to hear right here so clearly to see and so seldom said a pushing variance of unity fled onto green and red colors to fill and saturate the empty space and dislocate time and place understanding a breath or two is all you need to remain true

words to ease my mind

pacing, a racing mind, drooling and slobbering

nonsense dulling the time spent paying my bodies rent

an awkward shuffle of limbs that feel foreign and heavy

teeth clenched in hopes of a proper anger to vent out and lash

clashing with opinions, clashing with the past, and dark minds

shadows reaching for me, some come from within me

somehow this darkness feels comfortable, hah!

and to own up to it, caress it like a pet, treat it like a king well set

instead of looking it in the eyes and recognizing its beauty

a glamour only matched by my own hunger for purity

such a thing already exists within our essence

the shadow is the purity and without it purity would not exist

the perfection of humanity is also the downfall of man is also, is also, is also

nothing, everything, time is standing still. controlled by a whim

an accident when nostalgia returns, a flick of a switch you didnt know could exist, a comfort so soft time can do nothing but stop. maybe the clocks never started in the first place. maybe our death is our birth and we are nothing but the earth.

tentative

its good to say well see you today

another chance to make it right another reason to fix a right

down in the tide the water erodes

soil and dirt and mismatched nodes

erosion gently changes the surface

over time it changes the inside too

when you scream for forgiveness of a crime

committed by those closest to you

lacking conviction is easy when you lack faith

basic modern human with its tired mind

heavy soul and unwashed hands

a salute to you
