taking my heart out of the water so it can dry a bit
trying to stay sober so i can process it
i'll tell you again don't let loneliness pull you away
the moon smiled at me and so i smiled at you

over

Sweet passion, water falls
i see icy seasons ahead
clutch my pearls, drip down my leg
why'd we go out, should have stayed in, instead

Backpedal

Enlightenment is
Bewildered pieces Moving
Broken and Abused

Had to Read it in Reverse

Self-preservation

You are soft like yellow rose pedals
I am scared, too damaged
May you slit my throat and spin my head to the wolves,
and may I be alone.
You are so full of youth and glowing, characterized by ***
If I could only feel the way I kiss you -without my voice numbing my lips
When promises fade away to words, how can I learn to hear again
How can I listen? I can only hear myself.
Whispering and clawing, disguised as another.. I am the wolf

"We surrounded by the ******' wolves" -Kanye

re·al·ism

I've been plucked from the most beautiful flower people would do anything to smell, to see, to touch the softness

It hailed
ground frozen; ice bullets gravitating towards my heart
frost bites my skin
The soil no more suitable for such a beautiful delicate flower, broken at the stem, rigid and slanted
soon to decay, back into the dirt
forever ingrained within land
when the flood comes and washes all the soil amidst
struggling, barley gasping for air the water chokes me,

I squint to reveal a fish in the distance
swimming ever so smoothly, scales shiny and brilliant
imbricated as armor to a knight
strong and natural

Slant Rhyme

It's really not you -it's me, you see
I have a slight problem with intimacy
Through the absent babble and lost words
Somehow I speak, but am never really heard
I lie awake; thoughts keep my eyes open
Maybe I'll run a hot bath to soak in
I can't help but feel bad for what I've done
Fighting a war in my mind that can not be won

Pattern is ab

Stormosis

I am endlessly thrown in the wind
Dreaming of stillness
Rain stop falling down my face so I can feel my own tears
Thunder stop roaring so I can hear myself think
Lightning stop brightening up the sky just to leave me in darkness
Wind take me to the island where I smell nothing but saltwater and sweet fruit that awaits me
Leave me with trees abundant with coconuts anticipating my conquer
Fresh milk to drink and white meat to eat
No worries, just the sand beneath my feet
Where Waves only whisper my name at night and in day, Sun makes me feel warm inside
