English So, here. I burn. / / Keep an open mind, but form your own opinion.
alone again breathing freely thinking deeply not so distracted not so overwhelmed dreaming again more vivid less rigid since I met him glad I met him glad he's gone never could sleep in the same bed didn't want to talk after we ****** didn't want another mouth to feed another void to fill another moment spilling my heart out when all I wanted was to get my brains ****** out wasn't really sure what I needed until I got something that I didn't still not completely sure but I know what I don't want and that's a good place to start

genuine void
I tremble to know, to think, to speak. I see below, I sink, and shrink. My troubles taunt me as I peer through the rift. Abyss greeting me again, my darkness, once a gift. The webs of my fingers, dry, crusted, peeling. I'm weaving my safety net, tired, tied with feeling. I grant my own wishes, but he offers me kisses. I shy away and shrink again, unsure if love is meant for me. I seem to see what's underneath but thinking has gotten me, thoughts rotting in me. Sinking teeth with stinking teeth infecting me with what's beneath. This tattered heart, barely mending, is caught up in defending. Unsure if blending what's still misunderstood will do anyone any good. To open up was thought blasphemous before such a day was bore. (Thinking this heart too sore). Now these teeth won't stop chattering, ears perked up, yearning for more. (Realizations haunting me). The rift I peer into is in fact me, outside looking in, yet inside looking out. Filled with doubt, skin shouting, come closer. I gaze into the rift, meet my abyss, and meld with the void for what seems as forever, yet in a moment forever has passed. I think it's okay to drift again and thinking ceases. Feeling myself shadow walking, spirit singing a song once forgot as this void expels new light.

tickling time
melted molded molten golden bending with the wind striking like the hammer lightning booms it's hailing in April I make my coffee hot enough to melt mushrooms hot enough to warm me from the inside I move my burning, shaky fingers, as I stir the spoon I hear the thunder rumble my stomach rumbles too this coffee I made is enough for two I step outside to get a closer look I'm alone now it's what I wanted all for me these shaky fingers these deep breaths the hail softens to snow I exhale It's a fools snow as the ground is too wet for anything to stick slippery sticky frozen mess I feel blessed, shaking out the stress I sigh and go back inside it's about time to leave the house and I begin to hear the pitter patter of rain again

wash me, freeze me
Another moment wasted in waiting Calls back to me as I sit here, Telling me it's not too far off, Telling me I am cloudier than the skies, Just as humid as the windows, And just as cold as the air. I wasted so much time waiting, Traveled across the world and back again, Waiting for you to love me again. Being broken was my only friend— For a decade, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years. I reminisced, wished, and longed for The days we made love all day for, The moments we whispered, "I love you more." I broke down and let my shadow explore, Devoured what was left of myself, Gave myself away—a ***** Took myself around on tour, Always looking to get my fill, Yet always feeling empty. Nothing can replace you. Drinking couldn't erase you. I tried one last time to chase you, But you're in love, and I wouldn’t dare entice you. My pretty words were born to chase you. I will chase you in dreams, In my words, forever. I will love you forever, Despite the spite you spat At the news that I was back. I told you that was my closure, Not knowing it was a lie— Perhaps a type of closure, To stop the pursuit in this life. But I will love you forever, And find you in the next life.

mimir & memory
burning today fingers aching last night popping knuckles not so easy feeling a bit uneasy reeling backwards popping neck bones whiplash when I thought I saw you collarbones calling swinging to meet your gaze saloon swinging swooning then ringing returning back to where I saw you forgetting the misery of bones popping head hanging feeling low again burning burning notes meeting you singing notes screaming tones bleeding never felt so good never tasted so good to live without food what a mood to sit and brood teeth clenched thoughts intrude it's all for you I bite my lips chew off the skin and bite again bleeding never tasted so good knowing we cannot be friends we cannot be friends

messed up lately
I bottled Grace broke it the same day gave into the grey of a fur coat Wolf's coat tempered mote tempered charm unreveled charm sounding alarm sounding harm hearing fearing fearing nothing save the charm charming me warming me harming me leaving me I am broken unbottled I am Grace

shifts
My heart splits in two I see what I must do Give into this Hermit life To see my life's path through Kindness that's been buried deep The kind I used to give to me Has begun to rise and fall—I weep, I mourn for the moments there was a "we" Knowing that our Never is all that's left of past Forevers I gather my bearings and proceed with my endeavors Hands still healing from holding too tightly to our tethers I've let go now, feeling lighter, sprouting my own feathers My heart is mending, molding, fusing back into itself As the pitiful wreckage of our past waves its final storms I see myself walking alone, knowing he is not by himself A shifting—I awaken to my own healing, my heart warms I can love deeply, from afar, as I heal my scars Never together, never apart, always a part He will amuse me, in my heart, in the stars But for now, it's just me inside this healing heart

Uruz
Each beginning must meet an end For another beginning to break The dawn of a new day beckons flowers to bloom As such petals may fall come noon What joy once gave you fades in your wake As the petals furl and uncurl In the wind I, too, take flight My bones outstretched Catching winds The winds your sigh cast The winds beneath those tattered feathers you once called home The wings you once called joy Joy in a moment too sudden to drift away I see darkness in the sky Clouds parting to grant me a glimpse at the moon Clouds dissipating at my glance At a chance Taking chances as the clouds roll back in Love lessons in these moments Just as the flower blooms Another love begins to fade Your feathers gather in piles beneath the stars As you make movement, taking flight My eyes quiver at the thought of losing you Moonlight hidden from me today Never too far from home Yet home beckons me My jaw grinds bone to bone Your freedom is all I can offer Dropping your feathers Bleeding seeds Flashing moonlight as you leave From petals to feathers to bones to ashes I miss you in the fire of a new night to warm up in I miss you in the crisp mornings Planting seeds

Inside my skull
It was within the darkness In which I could finally catch my breath The stillness comforted me While I gained my strength The patient silence in which I dwelled Dispelled the misery as I dove greater depths With each inhale absorbed new meaning With each exhale new colors emerged So engulfed with forward movement I was unaware of what I left behind In the quiet only night may layer I found my pain returning home As it became my own My heart spoke of the wonders of what I may leave behind if I were to speak my mind The silence of my sacred space As comforting as it had become Began to split, distort in ways Light rays easily penetrate As my colors grow, they can't help but explode A calling to my souls companions A dance to my body's imagination A secret unbroken as the light breaks the silence As my words break the surface my darkness finds it's place And my colors take up space I take up space Breaking silence

hermit emerging
Seething is soothing lately To feel without words To shake out the energy That does me no good Abundance where I am stood Serving up a good mood Less attitude exudes As my ego subdues I miss your presence Long to bathe in your essence Reminisce on the lessons And forgive all transgressions Pedal with me baby Through the familiar And the unknown Tell me about your dreams, daily Show me what you're made of shady Midas Leave me in the middle Molten after brittle Glowing more than just a little Watch me sink within the middle Watch me morph inside your riddles Love me splendid as you slumber Our dreams blended with each other Mending heartache This lasts forever Never reaching for each other Why bother? Oh bother! I wish this dreaming would last forever
