It is your lightthat would not leave,even with thick curtainsblocking its approach.You had commandedwhat I could give,even dipping in palmsclasping mere air.I surrenderedalways during secondswhen I rememberedwhat your trialslooked like.I let you live freefrom the circle of stonesI set around me.I was a prisoner,trapped behind a veilthat had begun to forcea kind of kindness.Love is

This aftermath is milesfrom that first step.Walking over a cliffnever felt this treacherous.I must returnto a unified reflection,burned into memorywith smoke to breathe,with a historyto unsee.I must choke on fumesif that means I can repair,what wasn’t the flare,wasn’t the lightguiding me throughfossilizing nights.I must hear the wordsI had dismemberedfrom a mind,one that had fallenfrom its

It’s a viable reasonto disappear without trace,for you won’t want tobe following meto where I will escape.There are sounds -those I won’t hear -after all becomes tunnels,when before,there were avenues,filled with heatedexchanges of emptiness.I won’t hurtfor much longer.I won’t need to heal,once I’m beneath.It’s a stormI’ve been chasing,with hands carving outthis path, from myown whirlwinds.This

Time flew,while the fearstayed blossoming,dragging me throughits sails, its trails,until I wasn’t awareof what fell silent.A promise, a vowburned into porcelain,as letters, as shelterfor a heart in itsongoing yearning.As long as I loved,nothing would erode.But I was bleedingjust as much as Igave it all away.I ran out of breath,allowing air to escapefrom cracked lungs.I rose

It’s intimate,but not inanimate,since you still bleedfrom that woundlong turned black.It’s your soulthat deserves a storytold over ashes,shouted at a shorelinewhere vastness crashes.Can you keep thriving,being what you are?You wilt without color,being deprived,while drowning in shelterflooded with the residueof bereaving eyes.Can you keep representingan echo that won’t fade?If love finds you,once more, in this storm,would

We threaten the rush,burn our fingersfor too long in their reachfor the rising sun.It is here, where we leavethe rest to its ruins,our breaths to be released,never to be returned.Into the void,drinking what washesthrough our throats,being the coldnessalways from ourcarved-out aperture.It is enough,after we listento the sound of a siren,for long enough.We will fall,we will

Inside your eyes,sunlight has escaped,sadness has drawnits long trace.You want to live,as you are swimmingin the heartof a scorning storm.You’re here to revisita single face, from onedecorated grave,extended shadow.You want to back awayto begin to sing.You just repeat the echoesof the vacancyin your soul.It’s the space in you,it’s the hour that fledfrom your arms,your tattered

Achieving our commonalityamidst this thickening,burdening fog.Healing our hearts,even in the depravityof a love gone wrong.It’s something to tastefrom what we did waste,with fingers dippedin the shed skin of ourgleaming hopes.It is our purpose to embrace,living beyond a magical,fantastical world.It is it our stormto seek our shelter in,with tears for our thirst.We missed the exit,but we

It’s a shelter.It’s not security.It’s forever.It’s not eternity.It is limitless,because it’s a mazeto explore for soundsto define the craze.Am I aware?Am I awake?Have I fallen?When did I break?There’s a shellto call home.There’s this HellI cannot returnback to its sender,because its faceI cannot remember.I remainin this place,exposing no traceback to whereeverything began.I am coveredinside this cave,where

You’ve translated it,the scenes you hold onto,the ones that Iwould not remember,when I had triedto have it severed.You’ve shown tears,while I’ve forced sunlightout from a pair of eyesI no longer recognize.You weep into the night,while I’ve been dreamingof the moon, its phases,its command to escape.I am realizingthat what I left behindmeans the most,because it is

There’s the rush,the salience, the gushof color from allyour waves,your ripples,your curves.I find that Iam a child, again,toying with sounds,playing in the trafficof a thousand deadlyongoing motions.I am splashingwithin this heat,receiving whispersfrom the sun.You’ve been here,always on the runwhile waiting for fearto give up its turn.You are loved,but I cannot recreateyour lost Heaven,a departed haven.I

Deprive a circumstance,depleting remorseto your foundations.Rebuild from the nothingthat condemns you,as you flee from it.Let yourselfjudge those milesfor their worth,weaving intricaciesfrom stale imagery.Embrace winteruntil you are paintingthose colors,those glimmersthat you smothered.Betray what wilted you,until you becomewhat grows from dust,whose blood flowsfrom the shade of rust.Defeat your doubt,construct an empirewith hands that onceheld the breathsyou choked
