Habits Feb 2020
You incentively smile; swallowed by
Demurs, encasing an idol. Peer—Searching
of yourself six feet under? Its appearance;
couldn't relate; masquerading looks—
Stunning.

Surely not! Beast, Repress!
Remorse, Repair!

Tone lacking for a visual was all required.
What once could become—If only
Onced listened!
You lend no gratitude—Care for me!

care lost; for an idol
compressed all you had ever
given.

Crushed alongside the visage of which
lay beyond your inexperienced lips!
I have no care;
no longer
Habits Jun 2019
My footsteps whisper, lips touched,
Closed--not beside my thoughts--in unison.
Shattered--separated--alone.
Granted--contradicting a wish's

Purpose--meaningless to an empty
Vessel. Never deserted--discarded.
Unoccupied by the few words circulating.

As the body carries the weight,
Murmuring each piece continuously.
And the sounds begin an end.
A familiar path discovered--
The cycle continues.
Habits Apr 2019
Sentence after sentence races through me when
I greet my close friends. They wonder where
I've been—resting with a new one—not able to
admit. Withdrawal leeches away; intensity ravishing—
pain a close friend. though i have built tolerance.

"You've got what you want—cast away; Begone!"

Scars mark the number of occurrence—impossible to
remove from raw skin. Laughter a double-edge blade—
once being my own—echoes in memory.  Memories
long lost to a void-state—untraceable.  Reality fading;
counterfeit wishes succeeding; color exists in emotion?

Metaphorical meaning: monarch's wings; sophisticated
structure; blank lies—come to end. Be at my grave when
I rest.

Leave your terror to mine; Alone.
Habits Jul 2018
Perseverance through Hope lead men
Into their seeming unreasonable dreams.
Gazed upon—determination
Coursing and emerging for a better future.

To stand easy, but to keep balance
Is truly a challenge. Eyes met with goals—
Sight locked like their mindset.

Time being the great enemy. Legs begin
To shudder and collapse, leaving a living
Corpse. Remnants decomposed beyond
Memory— grasping for resilience.

Select few avoid death we all love.
For they are the True Mighty—
How even they can be tarnished.

Legends still linger past a tragic
Memory. Thoughts recirculating—sparking
New desires. Cycles forever repeating—until
Men refuse.

Deserted with the remaining souls
desperately clinging for what no longer has
Grip. And the cycle breaks—forever crushed
Under man's sloth.
Habits Jul 2018
One soul—circulating my as if
My polar opposite never bound to meet. A tug,
A stretch towards anything for my trembling
Hands to lock onto. But resistance is too great.

Clichés smothered into my story,
Running rapid along the coastline of my words.
A one-sided game of hide-and-seek—
The seeker lost amongst his own foolishness.

Sun-dried eyes—forbidden to release
Anymore tears. Shots of loneliness to dampen
His blistering vision.

As if a roundabout with no exit,
Only an abyss, eating away the earth within.

Tales of personally forsaken men
Infest an already corrupted mind.
Not a single wave crashing even breaking
His ears.

Once finally locked in place, embrace the
Mystery told as future. One attempt
Is all served—to fill the gaping holes
I gaze through.
Habits Jul 2018
Knowledge of never knowing the
Creations you wish for is the true tragedy of living.
Forcing upon yourself meaningless strains only to
Progress further mentally--while still met stationary.

Never able to express truthfully to your closest lips,
For banishment will be certain from their hearts.
Explanations forged insanity with an ax through reasoning.

Left with a cavern, rotting from the dripping wells
That harvest its liquid--refreshed through your
Remaining operational desires.

Blood on your hands racing down from
Wrists pledged fully to love.

Dreams of your future never awoken from--yet fulfilled.
Habits Jun 2018
Eyes drowning shut under the pouring rain--
Screeching splashes holding his head in confusion.

Screaming at myself which path to take--
Now losing interest in what makes him human.

Just silence is all I ask--Solitude for
Eternity, yet is all he is scared of.

Come into my heart explore the riches I hide.
Be traumatized by the horror left unseen for you.

Hold my hand with comfort across your view.
Disappointment is all that clouds one's feelings left.

I can search for eternity--never once found.
Let my locks cloak the heroes unforgiven
For victory is all impossible--never to happen in fantasy.
