26/American My place of solace, solitude, and solidarity.
I wish so much to be Indivisible A tie without ties A dog without a dive I feel like a rusted fork In the beauty that binds So much red and orange To something so lacking I still feel as sharp as ever But am I?

Indivisible
Collapsed in thrash A post dusk dance Where fickle whispers Dare not doth ask Digress, thumbing some Of their finest cask I'll ask myself Dare not whispers doth ask "What the **** are you doing?" Laid with three Just this week Father's Cancer Shan't I speak Best friend's a child So dull, so Bleek Why do I seek to swerve Where others swerve to seek "Your life's a proper mess." A diligent instrument Succumbed to drink and spit His nightly dance, Thumb in cask No longer feels so intimate An idiot reflecting idiots "I thought attractive people,..." You finally made it You Wretch

Wretch
I acquit the rest At my request Only I, attest, That my betrothed, no longer within My influence; behest As I scout for a safe, I arrest The ideas that keep floating That I detest Once the best And never the best Once best goes You're part of the rest There is nothing left I thought I'd know That once fire blows You're as good as snow Go, go. You'd rather poke Me with needles Than garnish a sew

Engraved in the saved slave's heart Is a mark before marks, With chains laiden dark Does weight really matter When you('ve) never a start I should feel freedom Where I see wandered eyes It's a shame I can see them, Glares besting ice The only tools I had I used to build You up And now that tools I haven't What tools can I use to build myself My future, my family, my strength. It's a blessing to be a free But I do not get free blessing Because those that horde it Savor the chessing Free? I am not free. And you, You gave me nothing.

A Slave's Paradox
Love. Love, is an ocean. Echoes in, forever, motion Love, is a breath Too deep, to chest You asked me what Love was, once,... & I, knew naught thereof Well, Are you a puddle, or an ocean? When those that you love throw rocks, do they fall to silt or sand? Can you, under storm, feel the calm, as it falls deep Because if you embodied Love arms out, stretched shore to shore & you took the sun, as you took the storms Knowing everything thrown at you, it'd all fall to the floor where darkness takes hand to make it all just, no more For when you find, your silt & sand you'll rest easy, with the done & what can & the second, you see him, It'll feel like you've never felt love before,.. Because you're okay, knowing pain, is soon sand

Silt & Sand
"See you soon." He says Two set of knuckles Leading me blind I bellow it out alike a forge, out temple.. Pftffffffffffffffffffff Coy, Sunlight fades as I begin to steep in the shade Blackness, like mist, nearly pixelating my daze I'm blind, I'm falling, I've died, Still, same place A tickle of color splashed trickle in space Playing in front of my eyes with no face This sprite is electric This Nymph holds my gaze To and fro this vividity does go spinning and swirling Oh, what a show And then it creates such colossals of glow The colors so vibrant, with some I don't know This bright neon orchestra might be,.. Symphony. Diamonds. With eyes, so alien, akin flys, I see A figure, no face, pirouettes, my treat A sapphire balet, next, a green man whose stare seldom left me but (he) did sit, and not stand Entrapment ensues, as I couldn't choose in-between, said, sat man, or falling for blues

Give me a chance, in this dance we dance Tiptoes round future, present, the past Let your hero, be my name All secrets, kept safe.. Because,.. Darling, you're the only one I've ever loved,.. I can be your knight, or night, or day when day's bright, Be there to know when you feel alive need light or when tails of dresses wander,.. round corners and you can barely breath, [no room, all eyes] I'm yours. my love, built as shores, And when I Look at you,.. Oh, when I Look at you I see an Ocean, Both crashing and calm And I'll love it, Like I love you

Passion? You want to see Passion? Passion is the lust I feel watching a dew's refraction on a petal so vibrant, and so placed, that it could not be placidity I feel, But Excitement. Passion is when you tell me to **** you, and pull your hair I slow down because I Mean It Passion is that flooding spark, the moment a match becomes gas, when I feel invincibly collapsed into An Epiphany You don't know passion. Because if you did You'd know it's not just a glory I entice, but equally A Gore Passion is having your heart broken, and looking to the floor a devastation Wailing as you feed your intestines back inside of yourself Craving forgiveness and receiving Futility Passion is hearing a song that rips you to a moment so far away and so irrelevant you feel breathless, a coward, and that one moment that once kept you lit becomes something You Can't Control Passion,... Passion is a curse, a bias, a crutch As equal, a gift

Passion
Ought once,.. Nine times, wasting nine lives in the process of falling through satin space to feel a wimb of womb in you, you said. I erred, quite more than thrice, to vice, one being my vice round you. Now, pulled apart, I lay, plastic gripping sea foam, rocking in waiting for this vice I have on you to end so galely. Alcohol depraved, sweating nights, are the only lethal comparison I feel I have having to, just, let, go, of you. I know I can be a tide, a quake, a storm, a snake, but that doesn't mean that I don't cherish you. Love you... (I) Dream of a future, one where we could nurture more dreams that would ensue. I know you're not perfect, and everytime I ****** up, you gave me arms I craved, and gave me the clarity you knew I deserved because you showed me that we were worth it... You don't deserve someone's best, by getting their worst. Their worst should be monuments above the worst of the worse, and what's worse is I get that know now.. not then, and only now do I wish now, then, and then, now.

Drift
Echoes in ash Sit here silent as masks Staring right back Through my hyperbole past The fire, did warm me The whiskey, did sew me Thread, falls from my collapse As whispers of mourning Portraits of you, next What you've become One's strokes, so vivid The other, rotund Ashes to echos I wonder if he knows What, all, He left behind A fog of limbs Eyes in mist Is there, After, life Rocks; crack, stumble In glass: of tumble As red leather, Made company Ashes, the echoes Of what was Once, but No more
