*She was an abandoned city Deserted homes, burnt bridges, empty roads— A jar of ashes, of stories, of memories A sanctuary for the forgotten ones*

Remnant
*A soulless body she was Pale skin, chapped lips, dreary eyes Her ribcage filled with soil Flowers sprouting from her mouth Her veins like vines, Wrapped around her legs Her skin, ripped Corrupting was her flesh Worms coming out— Out of her senseless ears As unfathomable as nadir— She buried herself, The insignia and rosettes, The books she read, The verses she chanted, Her dreams, her fears— A forgotten temple she was Hidden in the middle Of a busy city filled with people She never knew And at night, she would write About nothingness, Her cats, the mustiness of her youth Tasting the divinity from the salt Flowing from her eyes She wanted god, she wanted sin Pondering on the elusive thought Of life and of death— She just craved for sleep Lay her body on a casket, Be one with dirt— So she drank the ink, Poisoned her senses And with her pen, a dagger She stabbed her core Rejoicing as she bled magenta— She decided to die, She decided to die Before the monsters inside Would have feasted on her meat*

Tangs of Disdain
*Sensibly we talk and nonsense we go Orthodox are the words uttered Profane are the verses sang Deceptive are the eyes buried They appear pious and they are saints, I speak sacrilegious and I am vindictive How the flowers bloom is fate, How the flowers bloom I hate When kindled is the vigor Ignited are these roses, Of Vehemence we had a feel Of Abhorrence we had to **** My own path I have, My own dreams I latch A soul wandering at the prairies, Gored yet numb with your poetries Amorous is the depth inside making me drown, Covetous is the realm outside wearing a crown To which force will my heart listen, Lost in labyrinth I am and fallen into warren When left as memories are the stories, And burnt into ashes are the memories The sun had consumed the earth I know, But not the world of artifice we had grow*

Sensibly We Talk And Nonsense We Go
*A machine I am And the salt from your dreary— Eyes — is my fuel.*

Art (6w)
*I drank a bottle of blissful yellow paint Lured myself with the calmness of blue Drowned myself into a pool of thick red blood And I found myself, staring at your eyes Because, love, I realized, it is where my palette lies.*

Lie (6w)
*She was a flower, And he was her sunlight.* *She needed him, More than anyone else did.* *Without her sunlight, The sunlight she needed, she would die.* *Yet too much love from him, Could make her heart turn dry.*
