The jungle surrounds like a blanket,
A palpable being
Teeming
Suffocating

Becoming one, a being in nature
Surviving on instinct
In the thick, overwhelming wildlife
Treading deeper into the heart of darkness

Breaking through to the river
A golden glow, a haze
A magnitude so great through a narrow gaze
Enough to force a shiver
Zach Feb 2019
Walk along the tight rope
That stretches over the abyss
Paralyzed by possibility
And impossibly conscious

Surrounded by darkness
A complete lapse of senses
Consumed by the infinite night
Never to return to the light

Secrets told
Secrets showed
At your highest high you’ll find
Your lowest low
Zach Feb 2019
There's a bad moon in the sky
You're the reason why
There's clouds that block the way
Until we're together, some sunny day

I see you across
On the other side of the street
And though our paths may never cross
Our souls are sure to meet

And so I just walk on
Singing a lonely song
Waiting for the day
I'll see you far away
Zach Oct 2018
Bright as the sun
Clear as the sky
There something there
A look in your eye

Mystery and intrigue
And the worries you feed
Of pleasure and pain
Alone and insane
Zach Aug 2018
I live in fear
Of fear itself
I walk along the fragile abyss of my sanity
Until one day I slip away

— The End —
