122/Neither You appreciate the sun so much more after it rains.
Masochistic misanthropy is the only thing the devil eats. Allow yourself some levity you’ll fall into eternal sleep. Infernal dream inside your head beside the bed you made for keeps. It’s far too late to call the bluff because the blood has run too deep. ❦

Catch 22
He probably deserves to be accidentally thrown into a garbage truck some cold Monday morning, but I don't think it's his fault. I love him. I don't know and probably won't until we're ash. ❦

Her words
Light flutters, Butterflies escape, A blind tongue Babbles wisdom. The affirmation of which Came from lost souls At the crossroads Of beauty and treason. Flowers flourish trying To poke their   Budding brains Through the clouds, Yet none reach so far As to make a memory, Or to make a memory fade, To guide anew the light. Wise was the caterpillar, He who had not seen Perpetual pain Through the porous sky. Vision flooding her words. Hate born of love like Poison leaking through The petaled veil. Hope can be elusive, Fleeting as a butterfly, Or a flower that never Had the chance to bloom. ❦

Translucence
A child screamed for his mother to come rescue him from the torments of a caterpillar. A lawyer ached at the loss of his beloved, his beautiful Tiger lillies. A father struggled to convince his son against stealing the wrong girl's heart. A businessman sold out of the life he built and slaved over for a rush. A husband looked at his wife and smiled at her cheeks and the bruises he put on them. A drug addict attacked and begged his parents for something to eat. The other day I saw an old man no longer crying over bugs or caring much for flowers. The other day someone traded their love and their blood for a needle and a spoon. The other day I buried my father and cursed his name. My name. ❦

The other day
Luminescent is the way. Where there were voices that spoke in riddles. Where there were mountains who watched your cold shoulder. Where there was life and death was innate, but patient. You used to love the way she drove you into the ground. None the wiser to the inadequacy   of sleeping through. She spoke to you, her breath on your neck. How many sheep must you count, before the Shepard loses, Loses patience. Where there are voices, There is spit, Where there is life, There are lungs. Where you are, is never the culmination, You can never seek ****** For the moment you reach, and finally take hold, Whats to come will be for naught. She is your goddess, Let the ashes of dream guide anew the light. Take her block by block, Or fly like humans can, watch her whole, watch her becoming. Burning shall be your dreams of fire. Soot can be cleaned. But a rag to reveal That your city stands tall, The peak grew and the skyline represents the wind’s metaphoric lust. She holds forever your patience, why not, if only for laughs, see if the wait is worth it. ❦

your city
From the subtle strokes of a solemn wrist. I can see so much of her on this page. It could be sadness, or laughter. Love sonnets, or groceries. Like her eyes, I get lost in the flow of her lines. ❦

I Love Her Handwriting
A child cries over a hard candy fallen from his mouth, little black suit, a heads length over his chair. He doesn’t mourn Like his mother. Why should he? The world is chaos. He cries therefore he breathes, he doesn’t understand the dead are only memories. ❦

At the funeral
Look at the leaves, How they grow and they die. You would never believe How the sunset could rise. The flame can grow cold and the water can dry, But the lesson I learned was to remember those eyes. Haunting and holding the ghosts of my past, I wanted so badly, one love to last. And just as the leaves grow, So do I, Watching the sun set a million times, I wanted a difference, to carve my own path. So I'll keep half a glass full till my life has elapsed. Never forgotten is your name in my heart. I'm sorry I had to, I'm sorry it hurt, But like a leaf I will grow, and thus I will die. And before that happens, this life needs to be mine, at least for a time. ❦

Untitled
An ember Drops so gently, On the lip of your shoe. Perceive the impending pain, Allured to the blossom of flame. Evening calms beside you. Eyes like marble reflect A fire eating its way Up to your chest. Comatose tonight Are those who cherish The ordeal of your arrival At such a lovely culmination. ❦
