Anything.
To placate your incessant growl,
Anything.
If you want me,
You have me,
Anything.
Take a silver fish,
To sordid flesh,
Anything.
Spill the Red Sea,
Across marble plains,
Anything.
Exhale finality,
Expire grief,
Anything.
Mute the torment,
Dance with jubilation,
Anything.
If only you silence,
The years of torment,
Unwind, rewind,
Let me go.
Anything.
Gift me my freedom,
...
Somber notes ring out,
Marking time and counting steps
Counting, catching, calling,
The waifs that lose their tether.
Imprinted upon the mind,
Sordid twists of vines evergreen.
Tightening…
Tightening…
TIGHTENING!
Unable to breathe,
Unable to stay,
No longer the desire to be.
Silver flashes of thunder bolts,
Paints agonising...
‘Neath the surface anguish wakes
A frail knot unbecoming
There was
Unshed longing
Unheard tears
Unknown fissures
Unplanned isolation
Where there once was
Unbridled light of connection
Now lies strangled webs of loneliness
Glyphs strung together
Like dew drops in innocence
A glint of mischievous commonality

Here…
Here…
Ereh…
We are here,
And we want to play,
Don’t you… want to play?
Scared of a game?
We know you are,
You can’t escape-
Not this time.
Catch the whisper,
Catch the touch,
Catch the sound,
Caught-
Not quite.
You’ll never win,
Not against the Mirrors,
Cryptic and clear-
You are not what you see.
Come, dance:...
Held you for the last time,
Under artificial lights,
As the wonder faded
From your eyes.
Out there, beyond the walls,
A vibrant shade of melancholy
Blankets our world…
My world.
Leaves shake their mourning bells,
Calling all to heed,
The passing of a soul beloved,
A single breath exhaled.
Rain falls not,
Except down crumpled checks,
Tiny caresses
That land on your back.
Do you think the s...
Naught but a firefly
A blink of patterned lure
Drawn in to fall.
Just as a moth
Believes the illuminant warmth
Called to burn.
Promises alluring
A pardoned reprieve
From sordid loneliness.
Lies!
All lies; embraced in silken thread
Fragility’s beauty torn to shreds.
Used when found weak,
A faux life raft
Suicide’s trap.
Brought on by hunger
An insatiable desire
To feel connected at las...
Spineless.
Claws that wander, talons that ponder.
A moment unwound and lost.
There’s at least a second pause in each sordid head… where blustery silence ambles in.
Caught and trapped amongst the bitter webs gossemar touch, you fear for what might become of you.
If it isn’t already too late.
Another searing day closes with slumping of pretentious shoulders, sliding the responsibility of...
Why try
When sadness comes my way?
When blue becomes the light
Suffocating the night.
When sadness comes my way
Beads of hopeless rain
Failing to drown; internal scream.
When sadness comes my way
Phantastical cage of fog
All but insanity.
When sadness comes my way
Naught but grave’s end
To greet what torment sends.
When sadness comes my way
Each cavern plunges deeper
Mining crimson f...
A little broken bird.
A little broken bird twitches with dying panic, unable to escape its gilded cage of barred cruelty, and unable to fully kiss the final slipping slumber.
Caught in a moment of duelling forces, the point where pressure runs deepest, that little bird bears it all.
It’s song long gone silent, it’s joyful morning call finds no reason to hail the rise of that glowing amber or...
‘Tis the nigh as we know it, the nigh that was promised is now bestowed upon us.
There is no escape alas, except to follow home that light.
That light of guiding blindness, and sound of hollow beat.
‘Twas not the thrum of the echoing surround that rung in our ears, instead ‘tis the sound of our very hearts as they turn over their last beat.
How many more must be laid to rest upon the c...
