“I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.” / — Franz Kafka
To you, death to you I wrote a letter only a lifetime ago signed as nobody,on the day of never. In a limbo where I had but a paper and time to free me from writings of your feather. An eternity only I begged to stay longer this contract I've signed I give back. Enough, you said? No, it wasn't I thought as you painted me black. To you, death you who turned my hourglass upside down and left her alone to sail the storms of sand. Saharas in eyes, tears come from another hides them from world with her hand. Howls I heard from afterlife, clear and loud as waves of screams you covered me with. Drowning me coldly you pulled me under your heartlessness more than a myth. To you, death who closed your eyes at the sight of an ending seeing such love was a first. For even you could not reap all we have planted in the grand Eden on Earth. Like a snake's venom you infected our heaven spreading but loss and sorrow. A disease of the heart, your favourite bred crumb so you know your way back for tomorrow. to you, death who shall receive another letter signed as a nobody on the days of forever. In lifetime of being the wind in her hair she won't feel it again, never. To touch her face one more time in raindrops is how I understand bliss. To shine in her smile as the warmth of the Sun bathing in ocean's abyss. To guide her gentle steps in the ground she walks on, to keep her warm with a flame. To kiss her lips in the river water I only can, because I lived again. To You, Death. Do not be afraid to take my hand this time, we've met before but now you're young. Please, as you're taking me, don't close your eyes now I walk with you wiser of tongue. Do not be afraid to guide me tonight and please have no regrets. Know that I will gladly meet you on the side I will pay my debts. Let's us meet again in peace now that my chess game is done. As someone who has become time and knows you like a son. Do not be afraid to come for me death, I promise to go right away. Do not be afraid to come for me friend, you can hold my hand if you're scared.

Death, Don't Be Afraid

Bottom of spiral Shine like a marble Amethyst, silver, and gold. Grave of the mind Soothing and kind Pulling you down to its core. Sinking in silence Away from all violence Gladly you leave with a bell. Whenever the morning For you there's no warning Eternity holding your hand.

A Child's Macabre

what happened to our young innocent love used to light up the sky colored it red then white. what happened to our young innocent love now it burns the ground I walk on turns clouds into black giants colors rain gray touches my cheek leaves ****** tears hate in my heart and truth in my eyes. finally I know we burned too bright, turned into ashes. I will rise from it ***** but clean forget my scars forget the hate forget the love for it is not my own anymore and I am not myself

What a good day it is to talk to drops of rain. What a good day it is to escape your brain. What a good day it is to scare and be scared. What a good day it is to be killed and live.

Day of Rain
The pain. Bones cracking, Skin tearing, Blood pouring. The screams. Of an angel, Of a demon, My own. The monster. I used to be, I was meant to become, I created. To resist Or to accept, The wings I cannot see? To trust myself, To hope for white feathers, To grow out Dark roots of my own? Never to see them, Never to touch, But spread them wide And learn to fly.

Wings
there is someone in my mirror, someone i know well. its bones are cracked but it feels no pain. its lips are black and eyes are gray. every now and then it tries to escape, it breaks the glass and cuts its face. and when we met it had new scars, that never hurt, and never bled. it counts my words and then goes mad, if my hairs are not perfect on my head. it tells me where it tells me when, and then goes mad if i don't obey. it wakes me up to check the door, and then goes mad if it's locked once. it moans and cries if i knock three times, instead of four which is fine. it whispers softly when i walk, to make sure my steps are all carefully counted four.

Four
Alone again. Did I let it happen, Did my ego lose a battle with this ever-lasting chaos, It must be so, Because my ego made it clear, You will never write again your paper will stay clean. And my heavy cloud aimed at me again, It became a mask to hide me from the page. It hid me from myself and said this was now me, It said I have no one to blame but false reality. It told me I was perfect, It told me life's for me, It told me to forget the truth and then it buried it. and just when I imagined this lie to be my life, I saw myself in broken glass and I have had enough. enough of being human or falsely living free, And ego had to die three times to make my chaos clear. No more lies, No more masks, No more perfect scenes. now I understand myself, for who I choose to be. In my raw reality, living lies is not for me. Painted with pain and scars of my past, Once more I can create something that will last. Memories of cold before my eyes unfold, Waking from my dreams and in my mind they grow. Today my soul is tempted but I choose to be patient. Today I am making peace with all of my creation. This is my true face, This is my rebirth. The reaper I was hiding from was living the truth. Now I know freedom by the taste of bitter, And I know I'll soon forget thoughts that were sweeter. My destruction is creation, My death is a new page, I will write an introduction with ego's dying breath.

Death of a lie
It came with the first rain in October, the feeling of solitude. And much like the rain, it was unwanted but needed.
