Rapturous visions -
engraved upon my heart.
Oh, to yearn,
for such an end to start.
Wishing for tomorrow
to be the final breath,
yearning for a freedom,
that I only find in death.
Days will not console me.
Weeks offer no peace.
Months are given up to years.
Years will remain empty.
That final day -
I bow my head and pr...
If you stood in a room that was flooding, would you tell your loved ones what you see,
Or would you wait till it consumed you, believing death might set you free
Maybe you think they won’t try to patch the walls that break around you
Maybe you’re convinced that there’s nothing to be done
But if you fall under the water, darkness blocks out all the love
And you think it’s gone, because you can’t se...
Every day
I look in the mirror
And frown
I’m not the girl anyone wants
I’m not skinny enough
My hair isn’t soft enough
My eyes aren’t interesting enough
My personality is too loud
To excited
To much
Every day
I tell myself that I’m not good enough
Because I’m not
For you
Because no one wants me
No one ever wants me
“I think she likes you!”
That’s a lie
I hate my body
I hate my face
I hate my ha...
Everyday breaks the same way,
All the stress and loads we must last.
This busyness cannot make us sway,
It starts even before we break fast.
We must be statues upon this baying crisis,
Steadfast in our in pursuit of our tailored peace.
All the people blur and become faceless,
Never meek just one piece
We stand ahead, but hold close those we love,
Never begging nor on our knees.
These we find whe...
Assume to be done
Prepare for lifelong peace and relaxation
Summer breezes and dancing laughter among friends
Put your feet up
Despite your hard work, its not done.
Despite the long ways from which you've desperately dragged yourself here, it is not done.
The stars shine from within you, but they will always take more.
The sun rises everyday, and so it sets everyday.
You have never "given" enough....
Wet on wet
The brush loaded caresses the damp smooth hot press block
Carmine and phthalo green explodes along the line
Into the transmission of light through a glass of day lilies
And
In that moment
I slip my dog collar
Escaping
Through a 4 by 6 opening
For a hour or so
Lashing myself together in strokes...
Without end
A moment of ease
We pass in the field
Breaking teeth
On our rotten cores
It’s been a long time since we could feel
The darkness on our skin
Swallowed up looking like we could be something
That great winter
We choose inhabited
Driving alone
Both hands on the wheel
But your hand on mine
Where did the time go
It’s been a long winter
Away from home
Away from you
The snow drifts pass
A...
Days, weeks, months on this road
Riddled with stones, dust, and holes,
I sometimes doubt this loss of control
Over the surroundings I behold
Was worthy price for the loss of my load.
What ill might this wasteland bode?
“Remember in the olden days
When hour by hour we could gaze
On wild flowers all ablaze
With beauty gathered from star-rays?
But now we stumble hot and dazed
Where beauty long ago...
Painful trials upon the burden
Life without expectancy
Open to the idea of fun without justification
Saddened by the loss to time
To what end must we live?
To what point must I suffer?
When life is terminal and life will end shortly
Take a breathe
Take a moment
Realize with what time you have left
Do what needs to be done
Impact life so you will never die
Live your life
Tomorrow needs...
