Egyptian I channel a higher intelligence that allows me to express, bend, break, create any reality I see fit.
pretty-eyed girl, your underbelly's pink, green, deep time, don't know what you see in me, I overcook things, burn my mouth, trying to speak, as we daggle our already wet feet over the pits of dog-bitten territory, you always scratch first, but I dig deepest, I guess, secretly, I'm ready to see you go, far away, where the screams can't bind you, and all the guilt quietly fades away, where you're comfortable, forever, and your days remain the same, always where words don't come out all ****** and your pretty thoughts untangle at the feet, where love can loop endlessly, and the old me is waiting

1.) I feel fine. 2.) don't like coming down from the high 3.) I'm ready for the next adventure - tired of being here 4.) All 8 sound good to me - 10, reallym oops 5.) I feel fine. 6.) Stomache hurts a little, but I'm eating a little numbers are starting to limit me, space even feels limiting in the thick of repeating, contrasting safety. Danger is fun to me, placing the awareness uncomfortably to expand, 7.) I'm thinking of passages 8.) Dreaming, in creation, romances; freedom 9. still feels fine 1.0.) hallucinatons goodbye

accidental suicide
record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you, screaming, you aim for my face, I strike for the gut, where the misery has nestled in disguise, symptoms come in binges, don't think about it stretching, lasting, coming back again, anger, pain, hatred, you are blood, and I still can't pretend, record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you, you provide strings with your support, meanings checked at the door, meaning, you attach and consume before we go forth, and, I just asked for help, not a third hand to feed me, not a list of nasty names, not a knife in the back, not another family member trying to bleed me, honesty, clarity, hope: record breaking amnesia, don't remember how to love you

Amnesia
it was time to sow the seed, stitch the old me to the present me, and breathe, release all this anxiety, tension tightening the grip, strapped around my throat, around my hopes, the me I've missed, burn white candles, lay out my stones, rewrite the misery, untie the history, reach closer to the underbelly's guise, mystery, why I've lived through the eyes of others, flies, gnats, and dead meat, there is no me there, just blurred scribbles, hopes for sunshine, trying to be something realer

Body Comb
butterflies love the blood, tumbling about in bellies, whisk it away, the way we pray, a bird being carried by a breeze, lifted essence, manifested, heart shade, finally, at ease, signal came through, translated to sharpened claws, unclenched jaws - unthought it all while sober -   *you came as ocean, as breeze,    as birds, as leaves,    as hues and blues,    sunshines and moons, and you left as you pleased,     opened my mouth wide to cry for you,     praise you,    love you, raise you above   what I've said in silence,   unbreak the trust I betrayed in private,   you came as hearts, as people I've known,   and stories never told, as whispers,   as hugs, and as kisses,   as melodies, repeatedly on my brain, as so, absent of you,       I came to know you:* butterflies love the blood, dying slowly from the greed, whisk it away, the way I pray, would ask for your forgiveness, but I know there is no need, I feel you in the leaps of knowing when to regret, and when to let it be, summon the tides stronger aside dying suns, each day, each night I pray for you to call upon me, like you did when I was your favourite color, pray for you to love the me now, and be sure of no other, so if I adjust the pitch, tune the sounds to form around your wisdom, or pretty eyes, maybe the melody will reach you again, if not for love, lost at sea, then for truth, and maybe friends we'll be, no longer eclipsed by rumors

Dear Carson
wondering if sound escapes heart if voice will become foreign again, a new soul again, stretch these wings for the first time, deeply inhale madness, for the first time, recognize Blue, for the first time, sadness, too, or reluctance, soft, tickling agony, radiating, as being woven in a nightmare, loose thoughts, I, cannot breathe, loose thoughts, growing pains, swell in the belly, void fear, swell in the heart, too, he is not here, so faint, we become, bruising our elbows, gathering tongues with strangers, heart's silence echoes, truth glistens, in the rain, tear showers, seedlings find themselves crawling back down in the rabbit hole, again, devour

Growing Pains
of the tongue                and body            as it beats               the demons                  of my own silence to a gentle hum –   a drunk laced    representation     of what the watching eyes                                         desire,                                         crave,                                         emulate                                           in their sacred spaces –       center stage      with every performer          abroad this conditioned                disillusion –      how it masks       all the confusion        for those that          jumped in early –    the lights     look so friendly    when you need them,       but it's you         who feeds             them –           and you die     without knowing it,                  you cry     without showing it –     mourn, in distractions,       what could have been;       what could have been           if you didn't have              to keep on                        searching –     the pen marks    rely on the same security,        lost in its         contrived purity –            the light is blinding,             but it keeps us from   rewinding,   reminding     our hearts of the pain     or the game, all the same – wanting too much for no good reason -

Plain brain game,       droopy eyes,         shaking thighs -     Why am I back here, again?       Great laughs -              ha, ha,                 ha -           peeing cycles increasing             to release             the awkward current                forming armies                of goose bumps            around my thoughts -      My Friday night         has just begun -               but it feels                 like last week's ****        Same tickling fear           tied in a knot,       as I seal my                        heart        with more dishonesty;          these distracted strangers      don't know any better,                              any better than me, anyway -       "Love is just a state of mind,           the heart knows better,"                              hmph -      intuition feeling           a tad under the weather -        Not good enough,           I should've known better..

Shame Game
Claws, wounds, deep, screams, points and shadows or silhouettes of past ones; blood - crusting over your lies, truth? delusion, disillusion, polluted drops projected into the wrong cup of sorrow - further, pinching a little stronger; how it burns and spreads - those little embers scattering like a cancerous angst; claws, wounds, deep, screams - one on top of the other; Raven will find no shelter for you inside, we keep the dogs out back now-ah-days much love, my sweet

Raven
Ink drying as my well self realizes how much I mean this need this - the weaving, the bleeding; the needing dampening future happiness each step tripped backwards; like the sounds you hear or feel when there's only silence, or truth to settle in with the mush or pile or illusion, dream of something that came too soon - things I don't need anymore; My tear jerking Prince, reaching, mmm, a push too far without reason or real love enough to set me free - release me from these dark clouds of your little, play-dream; plucked your last pedal; tasmanian devil fiddling with my grace; How cruel have I been in your deepness? I want you, baby, but I need you not to keep this steady pace; deeperdeeperdeeper in not being afraid to sleep in this empty house we built together - but dare I pull myself out? God be with you, too. Cold and dry.
