Take This
Take this
And let it float away
Be it with the clouds
Or softly stream
TodayPlease
Take this
As in prayer you sway
Pandora's box or treasure chest?
Hold it just
TodayLosing
There's a haze descending
With an uncertain ending
It's colder than grey
The loss of a wayLimbs become limp
Heart sinking sinks
Breath pains chest
Words laid to restThere's a fog outside in
It's louder than dim
With a dagger in hand
Shredding this landHead feeling hot
Thoughts lost forgot
Weak fingers reach
Tongues cannot shriekThere's a black hole tearing
Towards a soul beyond caring
It's darker than death
Consumes the unrestLungs lost feeling
Heart stopped healing
Eyes shut light
Soul stops fight
Sabotage
Silence sneaks around the cracks
Of the machine gun
Stuttering
Hammering
Sabotaging
The fabric of my breathBlood oozes like an ocean
In the dead spaces
Drowning
Numbing
Darkens
The rise and fall of my chestIs it black?
Is it dead?
Full up with empty
Seeping sepsis
UnsaidReach for me
I'll make you regret it
Yearn for me
You'll never forget itLift me up
So I can slump
High with your praise
So I can jumpTwo for joy flies from the treetops
Into the relentless abyssToo much
Too many
Last oneMoments
Like
This
Loving a Butterfly
What if I whispered
I'm no good
But that voice
That wraps sinister
Like a snake's hiss
It was never mineWhat if my mouth caressed
You full with love
But that taste
Sweet and intoxicating
Like wine
It was never mineWhat if my hands squeezed
My last breath
But that End
Beautiful and tragic
Like Shakespeare
It was never mineWhat if my soul danced
In my chest
But that spirit
Delicate and free
Fleeting like a butterfly
Was finally
Me?Waves
At last the ocean breathed her in
Back and forth
Its soulful hymnIt carried her frail body free
Back and forth
Far out to seaIt cast her forwards with each exhale
Back and forth
So she set sailPulling her back before beginning
Back and forth
No fight for winningHer skin begins to ocean blue
Back and forth
So old is newUntil the seas her soul surrounds
Back and forth
Soft but loudComplete amidst ocean's symphony
Back and forth
Still but freeAnd at last, the ocean breathed her out
Back and forth
Her dark put out
