F/Canada "There is a light, I feel it in me / / But only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me"
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
my mother calls me a devil but ive never known a devil not able to lie even when my hands fall off and the shedding skin makes me cry so ill sit at my conviction left hand raised to the sky to the jury to the Lord my words bleeding and i turn to the face of my Father before me harsh words form holes in my palms, imploring for a verdict, an urge that would never be able to satisfy my burning throat clawing for the fruit, till I die

Blasphemy
you see me in the distance i am wearing a yellow crown you’re sat a top a hill as the snow tumbles down i’m screaming in the shadows of that rusty old park until my head falls off and the scene goes dark

Drabbles
I looked over at the moon, Saw your reflection twinkling there. A half empty glass And the wind dancing in your hair. Laid on my back, Beside the graveyard. A hand reaching out, Though we could never run far. The priest says you cast a spell. Kept secrets you never dared share. But, I could always figure them out, Half the puzzle already came prepared. Lipstick smudged on your head stone, Flowers rotting on the ground. The book of love ends awfully, Thank God He’s not around.

Necromancer
And as the logs crumbled, and the last flame fell, All that was left was the suffocating smell Of ash, and decaying wood.

Inferno
October, you are a dying man wearing a yellow suit voguing down the boulevard pretending that cane is just a prop. Step inside the boulangerie. Sugar melts, cakes grow stale, but being in the case is like being on stage-- it's "let's pretend" in the sweetest way. Summer hasn't been kind to us. There is chewing gum on our soles, our skin is a disaster, our regrets numberless, yet we reflect in store windows as clearly as royals. October, offer me your arm and no one will know that you are not just being gallant. With each step, another day ticks away and when you lie down with me it will be as a near-ghost. No matter, don't give it another thought. I am here, once almost-pretty, my spirit a genuine drop dead knock-out babe and all yours until November arrives in its ferryboat, and if you brought no coin I've got you, allow me, you with the kindly moon in your eyes. ______

Dying Man in a Yellow Suit
I can feel the ridges of your finger tips And I wish I could rip through the skin But then we’ll all drown into an abyss Of crimson slimy liquid I can feel your collarbones I wish I could remove all your clothes For everything get’s in the way The greatest barrier of love, The body

“…and i could write i could write so good and well scary ghost stories and the voices that made you yell whispers in the scary dark makes you wanna scream fogginess in the park a nightmare-ish dream”

Intimacy
In a few years, we’ll all turn cold. A chill down your back, the breeze grows old. And there’s a light, that freezes the storm. That rounds the voices end up warm. Blanket of comfort, a soft green bed. Below the frost, lay down your head.
