A brown bow discarded as it was on the cold floor left to the seasons the termites and nature's will when they returned t'was not as it was but it had not moved nor been moved had it been I or perhaps you rather the brown bow would we have seeked shelter or stayed still awaiting the one Who left us there to move us to a safer storage space?

Brown bow
Snowstorms A pirate's worst fear A soldier's worst fate A bird's worst season She's a storm. Revving beneath the surface Waiting to explode Into millions of shards Piercing No one left unscathed, Those are the times She smiles brightest Covered in a scent Metallic and horrid Yet in her eyes That's home Life feels most valuable When death is close to her— Everyone questions Her mechanics Yet I'm sure She is a storm Most alive When she's wild Untamed— My home, A stable place One always constant One immovable— In its madness Content, I'll sink Within that snowtorm Because I know— You'll take me in your arms, Unflinching, When my scars Begin to leak

A butterfly's song to the Ice queen
Let It pass Today be a day Within a week Within a month Within a year the tree only grows— My will erodes Had we met the day That has passed I would've smiled, Extended my hand, We'd share a word Or maybe more Yet I find I can not Promise it'd be the same Upon this very day For worthless Is a word: A thing without value Yet Still, I breathe— And the grass stays green What day is the tree to fall? They say we learn As the sun rises and sets And roads wear down As shoes and tires move— Seasons still change Why is it we come back? I choke I survive I learn to breathe once more Then again, Choke I shall My, How cruel fate is How false life is And how the brain deceives— ha! Why must we persist? Cursed is our existence Hollow a husk I am Mended from the Brown Earth below As words unspoken Hover between us Before they erupt And wound And anger— So it comes You shout You care You love You share You are, And dearly, I implore you: Exempt me From your life Our memories we share Bitter or sweet For I wear thin Amidst your care Your existence Upon mine. So if I am to die This day Or the one to come My body be at peace I'd owe you not a thing, As we never were For what is your love to me? What purpose I carry? What I am? Let me wither. A selfish being And I apologize—

Dear Everyone
The sky is still— A cold Silent embrace Bestowed upon thee By the starved earth below It yearns for life A wet sensation Unto its surface So it may bear vegetation To feed the abandoned young For they are no more Then incompetent dwellers Upon the ground, They play They sing They dance And They **** All animals that breathe That survive simple As they are That hunt, eat and sleep No complications of taxes Hierarchies and wars "Yet is it that those animals themselves Survive not by killing one another?" They drive not One another, knowingly, extinct They be cruel But have far less intelligence Then the children Whom **** not only the animals But themselves aswell And thereof: The sky is still With poison, we make And shall breathe And the earth weeps For the children ****** it Slowly.

Children
He is a ******* A wreck without direction Floating aimlessly Amidst the vast sea A theft of time His own And those around him His shoulders? Unburdened By the weight Brought to him By life themself Simply he stares Testing life's mercy Seamlessly unaware Of their cruelty   He hides behind Complex reasons Conning sweet, cruel life In the end When all Is done And said He'll stand shamefully Labeling himself victim And I'd stare at him Thinking: Idiotically, naive man How foolish can you become? And I've seen you Try to make sense Of why you lack it The drive they all have The care they carry like it's law And how you look down upon your uncalloused hands Wondering if you've broke Or been born broke What wrong you did That they all did right? What is agency ? Fear you know well But this... Is a concept Known only by name Not experience And how you think it Changing Becoming another But where do you begin? Why can't you give that up? Why don't you listen? Why don't you do? ******* I stare at you In the mirror Nothing more of you The promise made of you Which you did not follow through *******
