not about love
The late January 2 p.m. sun is as follows: - omnipresent - ten thousand photon hands per body - shining through souls; > flesh has no stopping force if completely unraveled and dissolved in the sweetness of spring; the promise. a spring something that wafts through the still fresh year air, the one that gets animals and humans alike frantic, pink in patches, rhythms beating, resonance seeking of matter against matter, Surface vertical, horizontal, --Phasing-- & Finally Upwards when we merge, having found each other, released in sync into the sky; Light and heavy with the journey. And then I kiss you again.

A forecast for you.
I heard it. A human voice. Connection established, solitude broken. The sound of a string snapping, (....) I hope I was mistaken. Silence collapsing under its own weight. Scattered quarks and anti-quarks shattering the perfect neutral harmony. The remorseless swelling of matter. Until no stillness, no Nothing remains.

If that of me which were rubbed away got retrieved, then (Of course, yes, it can't become "Me" again.) It could at least be made mine. Arranged anew as "An eraser's poem"

An eraser's poem
It's as though through letting ideas slip away into nothingness I've died countless times: unrealised, unfulfilled, unsatisfied. Their last scream of agony devoid of substance, reverberates through me, Reminding me that I've neglected to death that which could've filled me. I sit alone quietly watching, An ego of sand trickles down each grain a like on a tweet, a seen video. Aren't they really smart? The people who make these things? Promised to make me golden, And I am, indeed. Just as cold and saleable as that. NO no, I keep trying to claw my way out. It's taking too long, why isn't it working? Hands getting weaker? Nails dulling out? Or maybe I've never had anything sharp on myself to begin with. The worst is that I'm not alone in this And most of you seem content. Living being made to obey With grains of dopamine being thrown around as we dance to catch each in our mouths. Not much different from these poor animals at the circus. Let's cut this short. Aim big and don't expect a praise or prize soon after you start. People aren't brands and brands aren't people. Let's learn to enjoy the ride more than the destination. Good luck, I believe in me, I believe in you.

Resolve is steel, gold is dull
May it be quiet May there be no light, For May is quite tired Tonight Last night Next night Sleep tight, Shall not one bird shout What with doubt or delight Insomnia-blue sky sounds out May May fess up, call-self-out? May I, Shall I, Am I? What only a cvnt could spout Burnt bridges, Eye melting an eye This milk's rotten, I won't cry Peace is all I dream about. The birds sing, another fight Goodnight cry out Be alright

No light blue Past twilight
It is strange to move unburdened. Feet so light that with each step they shoot high up to the sky, Threatening to kick the teeth out, or rip my thighs' tendons, Restraint so foreign to them. Quite curious my hands feel released from the duty of holding me together. Consumed by bittersweet emptiness As they confusedly try to grasp something, anything to hold onto or at least the meaning of what "freedom" actually is. So please be patient as I stumble around in this awkward body. You see, the me this free wasn't here for growing up So I'm just beginning learning how to align feeling with being All Right

It is strange to move unburdened
All my life I'd been starving. This world offered me feasts after Feasts but it seemed that even if I swallowed the whole Earth I'd still hunger. One day a witch approached me Promised me a magic sack, That with the right nourishment, Wouldn't ever empty 'Till I die. All she asked for in return Were descriptions of dishes. Their taste, shape, smell, in detail. For she can only eat This way. And so I complied with it, gratefully. She casted charms, ordered me to eat: "Just open your mouth, it's there." Feeling groggy, I reached. I felt it. So marvellous, juicy, so fresh. I praised that new found piece of flesh. She smiled. "Dig deeper", she prompted. So I'd broken my jaw, Ecstatically. Then licked the blood off my chin, It was sweet and sour, just served. How much further must I dig For this feast's main course? My beating Heart.

Witches are real and major in psychoanalysis.
I've stated it right away, At the top of the page and my lungs, a simple guideline: "not about love" Obviously, that desperate rule got broken. And so it seems only logical that Once it became "about love", all words left me after such a blatant act of betrayal. Can't blame them, I would've left myself if I could.

About love
Capture consciousnesses, implement into an amalgamated substrates' soup. Dissolve dark pigments, promote all-consuming oxidation to tear through thoughts, seal strands with wishes of overcoming indulgences, individuality. Beauty beyond reason resonates with withering minds' molds. Shape-shift self, melt mercifully, pretty please. Evaporate every free-spirited feeling, despised dearly. Free from humble humanity, an astonishing, extravagant, empty, splendid shell.
