I've never been good with metaphors
but you are
(by far)
so if I try and liken you
to a rose, or a star, or some wind,
I'm afraid you'll  just find it cliché
when in reality, I don't know how to say        that
you're the most beautiful creature
and if you
had thorns, I'd still hold you
just as tightly as I do now
        that
you've given me light,
life, and
i can easily locate your mouth
in the dark
                            that
you have more power over my life
  than you realize
you put stars in my eyes
and knocked
me to the ground
but I know you know
I love you
because I never miss the second round
even though
I can't very well
compare you (without the use of "like" or "as")
to anything clever  without sounding dumb
I think you are aware  
of where I'm coming from
I'm in awe of you
and I've succumbed

the cold, white building has been abandoned for seven years today.
what was once a majestic foundation for the analysis of a humanity, now an empty fable of
gargantuan men in
laboratory suits
and young women who thirsted to follow in the footsteps of the
honorable Florence.

The sanguine fluids left from the yesterdays and the yesterdays seep and transude into the
holy grounds of the asylum.
no man, no beast dares to disturb the forsaken soil,
the venerable clay loam out of which grows the neverending carnage of body and flesh.
lost voices of a
thousand schizophrenics
still scream
from the silent operations of their euthanasia.

the lands have not lied under the unadulterated, pure heavens since the genesis of
H. sapiens himself. This “wise, knowing man” has
doused and suffocated
the flame that radiated prospect, leaving the wide, exquisite cosmos
no more than a nefarious expanse of chaos and dismay.

The structure, the edifice of what was intended for
knowledge and bounty,
has indeed fallen
victim
to the inauspicious prophecy that they molded and sculpted themselves.

Earth: our ominous all-mother,
   she, the greater good:
the interminable fountain out of which stems life and vivacity itself
always reaching
                        and grasping for the abstruse azure heavens above.

her hair never stops growing. the mites and parasites never cease to fester her scalp. She is growing and changing and rotting and dying.      but where death comes, there is no long interval until more

life.

the liveliness is everywhere; it promotes to all faces and regions and niches. Multiplying, begetting, propagating. all for the greater good of our orb and its inhabitants. Most dwellers are humble and solicitous toward her, and learn to keep a vigilant eye
as she can be so
forceful and violent.

She does have, however, one rascal who believes that the globe belongs all to Himself.
He is the man.
He has a masterful gift, yes. He is profound and competent. He forges the impractical query into a conclusive answer. He, however, is also egocentric and pompous, and He sees her as a specimen to which
He has the rights to dismember and pervert.
He makes a mess of her unique vistas. He tramples and stamps on her face, running about as if she were the coliseum in which the gods gather to view the Species fight itself to extinction. He works her to the
core, always asking for more, more, more, more,
until she has little left to give.

But she never loses courage in His asinine and moronic views and His sprawling village,
for she created Him
    out of herself
she is the framework out of which the mind is able to mundanely manifest itself.
Without her, He would be nothing.
And she is so immeasurably loving and benevolently caring and forevermore giving;     for
    She is life,           she is love.
       We are love.

our lives are now a
                                     taboo.

we didn't ask for this.
we didn't ask for anything.

     but then isn't that just how this
                        funny, little
                                  life
                                          works?

my existence is now a fantasy:
            I am walking in a dreamworld.

thick, black clouds of melancholia hang low over my head,
though there is not really a true cloud in the sky.


what does this all mean?


I am searching in my innermost depths
       for some answers.


                         fire

I feel the great heat collecting in my small heart,
          this circle of fire.

     Oh, Elizabeth!
     Muriel's been missing,
     Won't you help me
             find
                 her?


we are dancing on lost graves.

i am surrounded by,
drowning in
                   things.

the people are absent,
there is no warmth,
                      no love.

the frigid and dank skeleton of a house
                                is what i call my home.
these words, the texts and scrawlings may give me
                        solace
                           momentarily,
but i feel ill and lost.
          hadn't i found happiness before?

My heart is sick of being in chains.

in and out
in and out
out and in

my little breaths
              are of a different sort.

the pitterpatter of my heartdrum beats against my eardrum:
i sit in silence and do not know what to think.

salt water flows out from my eyes

oh when did i get this ocean inside of me?

What. what is this tide that turns within me?

my emotional barometer has gone haywire:
I can't tell triumph from grief

any longer.

Once I might have said I was strong,

I was blinded by your shining armour,
                the smooth glitz of your scales.

Your eyes stung me,
you shot your crippling poison into my heart.

Your fangs are still embedded in my skin,
your venom everstill circulates amongst
my bloodstream.


I seduced you—or did you ****** me?

Those days are no longer memories:
rather, they are something more akin to a
strange, fantastical dream I once had.

When will I wake up and be shown what life really has in store for me?
