river aleka; / "thank you for the tragedy. i need it for my art." / - kurt cobain
greenery is the new scene, the flowers bloom the birds sing in the daylight, and, i, too, emerge from all of the cold and dread and hollow earth through the cruel winter i felt much too many out of sync, dissonant days, where i crumbled such as the dirt and whenever the sun would kiss me good night, i, too, would melt away with the day greenery is the new scene i have emerged from all of the cold and dread and hollow earth i stand tall just as all of the yellows, purples, pinks and reds grow beside me next winter, i will be in harmony, too, even on the crisp, bitter days i will not wilt away

where do your flowers bloom, if at all? in a meadow? the cracks in cement? beneath the snow? tell me, where they grow, do they sway with the wind? or do they wilt under the sun's harsh rays? tell me, do you flowers bloom at all? i know you're so dark but dawn rises everyday, just choose to open the blinds

Delight in these words, As I enlighten your mind. Twist and tie your tongue, until you are twisty tied, its fun. Your tongue, entangled with mine. After just meeting for the first time, in this precious moment; of a lifetime. I cross the fine line, of your life line until our lines are entwined. Entangled encryption the meaning defined. Everything happened, to cause this moment, Our stars must of aligned, now our minds intertwined. Juices flowing ripper than wine. this scripture use to glow, now it shines. your literal needs, encompassing mine. The thoughts alone; truly divine. These words, sinking into your unruly mind. Our lips synchronized, with the sinister hands of time. The moment everlasting, in our minds, even after -- the second time.

Literally Inclined
i'm not scared of lots of things heights spiders flying when i was a child clowns never made me cry silence was always my friend it was comfy and safe but now it's tormenting now it's frightening nightmares having me waking up in the middle of the night with a racing heart and tears in my eyes pitch black eyes staring down at me; i wasn't a human anymore i was an object for someone elses' delight i didn't scream i didn't cry silence silence silence it's as if i died he threw my shirt at me so i could clean up the mess he left behind i wasn't scared of lots of things heights spiders flying they still don't scare me but memories haunt me and they tear me up inside

what he left behind // river
it strikes my body like lightning it fills my veins with the blood that flows when i see chests fall and jump, i apprehend existence ensconced on the floor, i think forevermore my bloodstream is full of the faces i won't see again hair pulled back; why aren't you hiding? you let the sun gleam on your skin; you are you waterdrops on leaves, that little bugs drink a trembling hand holding another stars twitching in the sky, the moonlight your silhouette fireworks exploding in the sky hearts melting, delightful sighs candlelight surviving through the night i'm losing my mind introspection consumes me whole i'm in a maze, my sight is hazed

planet // river
i do everything i can to feel alive. i’ve ran until my knees felt weak. i’ve jumped into the cold ocean waters. i’ve gotten high. i’ve gone on the wildest of roller coasters. i’ve canopied before. i’ve eaten crazy spicy foods. i breathed. and i don’t know how to explain. i think it’s just all the headaches, sleepless nights, and lies i’ve told. i think it's just all the times i’ve cried and tried to die. maybe that overcomes the things i’ve done to forget time. maybe that overcomes the cheer of when the sun rises in the sky and the wind that caresses the trees under the bright moonlight.

things are fine not fine // river
I know it's hard to touch the clouds when memories hold you down I know you cry a lot inside when no one is around I know it is hard to wake up sometimes when breathing cuts so deep. and the birds, they sing but you cannot hear and the sun, it shines but you cannot see and there's a lot of warmth around but you cannot feel. I know it feels so hard to live with so many scars but light will shine and you will see and birds will sing and you will hear It's just a dark path you have to walk and I will be there to walk along don't hold your breath don't give up yet just keep your hope and you'll find one day that you can fly again for you deserve the highest clouds the purest air the deepest love. and I'll be here for you, you, dear soul, the sweetest lyric of them all.
