It folds me,depletes meof energy.I’m walkingtoo close to you,furthering fateto be myconqueror.Wilt me,because this issomething that Icannot subside,as I hidebehind, to crynotes for ears,all deafening.Kill me,while I amhere, caring fora deep wound,shouldering the otherweathered scarson time’s drift,in life’s rift.The night carries ona glimpse of somethingbetter to be found.It’s a subtle hint,one I hardly notice,while I…

It sold the state,continuing to existwith grains ingrainedunder fingernails,from trying to crawlfrom the bottomback to the top.I was alwaysburied further,dragged back underto continue to drown,without dying.I kept screamingwith the voice ofharbored urgency.Who had heard me,as I was leavingall years behind me?For time was a delicate,unapproachable scalewith its magnetsrepelling a kind of soul,misdirected in itsopposing ideals.I…

Let it enter in,without falling outwith it, on its leash,without losing touchof what will dragour tired bodies,by being unable toredirect our hearts,replace the hurts.There’ll never besomething more,nor someone elsewho’ll be there,above all else.The feelings that swell,the waves that crashadd to the puddleswith ripples createdat the slightest breath.Let us be closerto a rhythmic beat,to the warmth,to…

Your life struckits final match,linked up with itsweathered facade,too close,but necessaryto see the realdiscomfort.What’s been controllingyour heartbeats,backtrack your stepsto where the floodhad begun.Open up,to finallybring forth lightto find where youlet yourself goto the night.For your form,repair itafter you’re ableto recognize storms,to realize torrentsthat you created.You’ve diseased your mind,torn apart your heartto bring flavor for your…

Our part to playcomes out to washthe dark away.Our eyes do moreto listen to each other,while it’s our earsdoing more to retain,with our handsbrought togetherto collect the rain.I feel the burstsfrom our loyal heartsin their quickened rhythm,chiming the versewe’ve held back,until it came timeto speak its symphony.Personal cueswere what led usto wait, though not tocover…

I’ve felt itin your pattern,in your sickness.It’s what’s worsewhen it gets betterthan what gets worse,when what’s betteris what I’m blinded bywhen I’m filling inthose uncovered spotsto mute your cry.I’ve seen iteven when seeingthe darkness insidethe infected woundsyou don’t hidewhen I’m here torelieve you.I’ve seen youfor what you are,while I let myself beyour colorless mask,your disguise.I…

You come througha door left openfor a stream of thoughtsto enter withoutan invitation.I do not want this haunt,but you are herealways in place of mydrifting sanity.I’m enclosed, while youmake this crawl spacea mansion with hallwaysechoing your cry.I am followingwhere tears are flowing.I am not connectingwhat dots were arrangedfor me to find meaningin anything other thanthis…

While we wereliving the emptinessof each breath,holding onto the signsthat kept us goingthrough the rain,creating puddlesfrom dissolved reflections,you were always an oceantoo far from where I wasstanding here,in the mist,shapeless in the fogof my spirit.Nothing had been warm,though everything had soundmuch like thunder,much like what weatherkept us together.We shouted, we vocalizedour pain into stormsthat never…

I sense what wewere made to create,buried always underthese torrents,these soundsthat never cease,that never leave.Winds come asdestructive whirlwinds,never what oughtto be that handto guide us.What’s left to believe,while eyes are alwaysfinding a reasonto flood the fields?We find that seasonwhere tears are shedin their splendid arrayof decaying colors.We glistenin places where springis never present,deciding that silencegives…
