American My obituary is written in the groves of a tree's bark, the ripples of the water in streams, the whistling of the wind. / / I perceive time as a tree does, I am but soil, 'tis my destiny...my true form.
the most beautiful face figment of my mind the all of you, the journeys have ended the trials begun change is death death is within my grasp nothing went anywhere that hasn't already gone cold tributes to fates unrevealed cradling downward seizing everything except my mastery death is acceptance I'm alive because I reject to accept Change is inevitable new orders formed and scattered by disarray the strongest will survive you are vivid to me now. your sorrows are mine your happiness reflects mine supreme in compassion your words are my torch change is death. Will is the sword inevitability shall yield to. Love is the water nourish us into health.

Withered Concord
Peering through a window in space... Have you ever wanted something so bad Tears ran down your face whenever you thought of it? A language understood in tears An ardor for self-depreciation... ...Or a taste for what cannot be. It will send spirals down your taste buds for now But that sinking boat in your chest doesn't go away.

Sigh/Sight
Your opinion only serves to waste my time In your eyes, my crime; impunity I reap my consequences as I see fit Crumbling seasons and clockwork in my eyes Victims of self-intelligentsia Suffering of structural order I did not define... Merely collatoral damage Suffer no guilt, those who disrupt The suffering of liberation Is ultimately benign

Shivering as I focus my mind on one ephemeral year, Where our minds bade each other To connect in one unified glowing sphere.

Goodbye
We're crumbling apart from the inside And our bodies have grown cold The snow is starting to settle in As we close our doors As the winter freezes me over This earth remains still The absence of activity is almost eerily fit I'm cursing a ghost as it glimmers by I hate it for it's intangibility More than anything, I want it to tell me everything's okay, that the warmth in this solitude is not the only fleeting comfort But this winter is far from over Mirrors on every icy street corner Threaten to black out my very life

This Time of Year Can Be Cruel
The seeds sewn in dishonesty.

An Entrapment of Good Faith
Thought of haiku Went to write the **** thing down Left as it came; fast

Untitled
Miracles lay behind decimals In this domain of imminent decay They tread drearily Coming and going But hardly making a difference at all Dwindling happenstances Going unperceived by untrained eyes Ephemeral, glowing thoughts That transcend into dull, mere materiality But they don't really matter at all.

Mere Miracles
It is in the air It lingers and makes it all still It brings in the grey It comes, it's here to stay It kills the breeze It hangs from the trees It's inside me It grins as it looks at her I keep it away with my plea It still lingers, as it's hindered I do what I can to try to make us free.

It Lingers
You hide away from others People just don't don't know who you are That loneliness must smother I wonder how far you can bother So reserved in your emotions I'm forced to wonder what for Hiding away from your life You stay inside all day, Depression under too much strife Beside the bed you never sway Silence is louder than words You accidentally express Everything we need to know
