Emotional Poetry
-
Left to dreaminside a colorless void,empty as daylight’s ghost.It is bitter,without the resolveI had hoped was thereto greet me. Branching pathwayscould bring mein reverse,or sideways. I’ll remain here,as still as the secondI have caught,reflected in a teardrop. I’ll be amongwhat othershave laid to rest,drying outin the earth,denying destinations,deciding oncrude resignation. Life is the retellingfrom different…

Bold formationof you,in the ivory. I’ve been blamingthe onefor this vision. I’ve lost faithin the present,conditioning myselfto see starsduring daylight hours. I want backwhat I’ve knownwouldn’t last,once your lifewas fatedfor another haventhan my arms. Heaven was betterfor you,leaving the Hellthat broke your flesh. Salvation should bea warm certaintyfor almost everyone. Am I among thosewho are…

Future revisionscan’t drag forwardour glow,not until history’sburning pagesare forgiven. No brand newspeech of our dayscan erase what harmbroke our mindsinto the pieceswe still collect. Looking down,we remaindropping the samerebirthed weight. Looking up,clouds are formingfor their monochromatic,state of disdain. We’re findingthat we’ve not stoppedour surge, our drifttowards a lighthousewe imagined. A slate can’t be cleaned,an ocean…

It hands outwhat you whisper for.You hang onthroughout your breaths,until you’re revealingthe wounds,those you sealedas thin cracks. Round stretchesof pale skin.Depleted fleshthat hangs loosefor ongoingurgency. You’re starvingfor safetyamong suchlowest scenes. You’re damagingthe sole connection,the one roadback to reality. There’s this nakedphenomenon.It forges your loyaltytowards the pastwith all itsscattered highways. The one routeis the lone pathwayfor…

Remedying hesitationwith rising smokefor nostrils,those that barelyever breathed. While wedwelled on safetywithin limits,we weren’t drinkinga forgotten truth. There’s no warmthfrom seeing what falls,from up close. There’s brisk airto take in,when the earth quakes. From embersthat liquifya current tragedy.From faceswe once knewto ease our despair. There’s a lessonto build with,once we inhalea memoryto be kept near,until…

It ripples,within merciful,forcefulfinality. It angles,inside asymmetrical,distortedsanctity. The death,that neither of us,wanted to seecome to lifehas dawned. The decisionto let you leavehad been hurtingthe part of usstill hoping. I denywhat’s shifted meinto a sidewaysfit of ridicule. Could Ihave stopped death,before it,on its ashen wings,came aboard? I revisethe lettersI’ve long tossedinto an ocean.

Still the dirtfor youto crawl through.Undressyour wounds,to revealyour infection. It has leakedthrough delays,those you’ve counted.You’ve long knownwhat had to be done,before running. You wash your handsin your blood,fortifying denialwith iron. You’re been reflectingthis blunt weather,through a puddleshowing streams. Such resistancespreads nothingexcept vapor,the monochromeleaving your lungs. You create the stormto concealthrough its thunder,its clash of clouds,your…

Your remnants,captured,somewhat alive,inside a bottleto drink from,during whatever chancethere might be left. I have no answersto fill inthis raging void,cutting me offfrom what I must doto survive. I cannot risehigher than a linedrawn on the surface,paralyzing meon both sides. There are screams,there are wishesto flood fields with.Here, I’m driftingafter letting goof your handto the burning…

Bite the lipthat tremblesfrom a first beliefthat turbulencehad cleared. Drown the achein Neptune’s flood,after broken fleshhas been burieda total of twice. To rememberyour fall,I’ll be temptedto dive right in,to reclaim what I hopeddeath wouldn’t take. To revisitwhere your lighthad vanished,I might use the momentto explore a realmunmeant for beating hearts. You’ve been promisedbetter peace,greater reliefthan…
-
A single channelto reflectupon a life too farfrom reaching arms,where hidouesnessreplaces beauty. Emptinesssmothered a light,blocks warmthfrom melting winterinto infinite dropsfrom eyes that starein one direction. Where you went,I cannot go,until I’ve also beendismemberedfrom summer. I can’t deliveranother kissto your wide face,just to the shadowyou left here. I’m dreamingfrom eons awayfrom the momentI’ll suffocateon the iceon…
-
Bitter secretion,absolute secrecycovers upyour bodyinto haze. You still attemptto stretchyour hollowed voicetowards a sunrise. You still hopeto revive what’s left,to be heardfrom bruised lips. To dreamof dying in reverse,to reopenyour cold heartto the heatof reenvisioned life. It’s agonyto see you walkingwithout weight. It’s ceremonyto see you outliningyour form from blood.

The sun’s risenabove its curtain,painting widethe earth’s fleshwith a blinding displayof white-out. To mute our rebirthedchorus of cries,we must lookwithout looking ahead. We must break,without breaking bread. It doesn’t sustainour malnourished minds. We’re asking for dropsfor an emptied ocean. We’re seasonalfor how we fall. We’re fatalfor staying still. A hush without a vowdrives us into…
