English More doodles than poems; I'm nothing special.
Blossoms wilt in the winter; As does man's heart. We are alone in the springtime.

Small Scrawl.
I saw a star fall from the sky tonight. It made me think about the beginning and end of life, And everything inbetween. This is known as 'living'; a tedious form of biology Beautiful, evidently, in its own way And a conundrum drowning every mind on the planet. So ceaselessly devoted to understanding, are we That most of our time 'living' is spent on this process, As if our purpose and place is to find our purpose and place. We exist as the ultimate dramatic irony, Our spectators laughing as we sit perplexed Only to be snatched before a conclusion is reached. As the star fell, its tail faded Catching up to its head in the process before disappearing into nothingness. Is this what will happen to us? Are our thoughts, feelings, desires, temptations, urges, wonderments, emotions, character and self Really so easily snuffed? Do we just disappear? In the scale of things, do we really matter? No; I am comforted by the thought that the star lives on Free to travel the universe and impact on beings, Be it beyond our level of reasoning. And even if it no longer can be viewed, no longer implore others to its self, I know it hit upon me in a manner I will never forget: It has changed my own course just as gravity changed his, Through myself and anyone that saw it, it will live on. It will continue to be. It will continue to exist.

Untitled (Shooting Star)
Nausea. It hits hard and I unravel like a spindle, My nerves breaking and stretching down to the last, thread-bare, drop. Empty bottles detail the night; Even these don't comfort anymore. I am alone with myself. Turning to face my accomplishments, I stare Petrified by their lack of worth or meaning. My mind is a dark room, the light has long since dimmed. And you are yet to join me in this solitude. Don't fret, it will come soon enough. Quiet at first, then heaving Smashing and crashing through your worlds own idea of itself. Together we will be alone And desolate but yet closer than two lovers may ever be. Lost are we Upon familiar ground, Moving but stuck, Reaching yet planted, Close, alas apart, Achieved and empty: Loved. Unloved. We are the last humans, my friend. Never forget what it is to be alive; Hold your Nausea close.

Nausea.
They say home is where the heart is: Mine is currently in a car doing one-sixty in a fifty Beats per minute zone traveling smoothly As I dance from lane to lane. This place will never leave me As I scuttle, plain and simply. Trying best to crash before I make it to my meeting In a zone that's not the same. This town changed long ago And yet, I remained indifferent: Idiocy could see right through me And stupidity would hit a brick wall after I would. I'm undeserving running through a desert made of wet sand Whilst everyone else jogs onwards as if it's asphalt. I am a lost soul: Save yourself and treat me as a warning.

Heart Shaped Engine
It is 4AM. I am alone on the city Illuminated pretty By the glow of desolate streetlights. Each building stood tall, Proud Crowded by its neighbours; and I am scaring the landscape. I prowl from street to street Wondering who I'll meet Trawling slowly from one corner to the next. And I'm alone, lost in this place Left to search an empty basement Full of junk I'd rather forget That clings to me incessant. This area a purgatory And I am my own Jesus. I burn at the stake, faking proudness. Not even Judas could appreciate this effort.

I am burnt; lost.
Mandate me more, for machines work better not broken. I am better used than left to rot: My soul is not your plaything.

My Conscience Is A Machine.
Day It repeats short bursts over and over and over. Repetition after repetition, time after time It circles. I am laid naked upon the cross of life and you bare my front for me, no more. Are these my tears or just useless shower-water? I'm stained.

Time and Place
If by chance You softly weep Beside my grave Beside my sleep Then one thing I Suggest to you Is that you do What I did to you Get up, Get up, Get up Real quick. Turn around And leave me. I'm not there, Why waste our time?

More rain than snow More wind than woe Begone! O-excrusiating paradise. This wonderland's not for me I'm too small to be seen Instead I'll reminisce in my cavern of ice.
