i am whoever i want to be. sometimes i am a teenage boy with baggy clothes i found from various thrift stores and a beanie. other times i am a feminine drag queen with fishnet stockings and a little black dress. and even other times i forget gender entirely and become one with the great spirit and nature. we as beings of the earth are all beautiful and deserve to be loved, no matter what. <3 / / i craft art out of words and pictures. poetry is my song as i use it to tell stories. everything from the darkest shadows of night to the beautiful flakes of snow inspire my writing. everything has a story to speak, everyone has something they would like to say. we just have to sit still and listen.
Creatures dancing under stars gleam, shining luminescence s t r i p p ing their bodies d o w n to the core revealing hearts so bare. Boats sailing away to seas so wide s t r e t c h i n g o u t to infinities endless. But some stretch wider than others, eclipsing your shallow distorted view on reality. Shift your telescope just a little bit to the left, challenge the blankness between the margins like you actually care. Liberate yourself from the shackles of love, dream and PRETEND nothing is everything. And everything is nothing. Welcome to life epitomizing insanity. Hands guiding bodies this way until black abyss swallows whatever darkness remains. Darkness that peels away at your flesh with its unnerving stare as it criticizes demonizes you. I am Satan and I build friendships upon silver blades and fuchsia vials laden with venom for eternal sleep. Let sleeps hands gently carry you to clouds that absolve you of past shadows so you can float on. No one will find you no matter how much you scream screams fall on deaf ears whose eardrums have been perforated eons ago. your voice has been stolen along with your wings, lying torn and shattered. You h a n g hovered between the past and nightmares yet to come. But you stay there, forever a ghost while time m e l t s a w a y a strawberry Popsicle bleeding freely down the s i d e of your face. So go out fold your aspirations into paper airplanes let them soar f r e e l y before they crash land into your graveyard, a collection of: broken promises unrequited love Dreams of what could have been

I will wade out of these turbulent waters Frigid waves crashing against The backdrop of a silver skyline Trimmed With grey lace Stars dot the view shooting Luminous sparks that transcend The shadows of your mind Demons lurking underneath the contours of Your body among saccharine Poison Coursing through blue veins Shooting up your arms Encircled like ivy Tendrils Dormant ideas waiting rebirth Nestled in peaceful repose Along with nascent seeds of hope Awaiting spring’s supposed glory The ice is thawing

La Mer
Screams ring out again Blood seethes under opalescent flesh Mouth mute Choking on the hate And profanities left unsaid Anger running through veins Water flows crimson Like anger tinted rain Creating bubbles holding Ticking time bombs I guess that's what I have to pay Open wounds mark their presence Like rusted pearls crusted over with The buildup of lies reminiscent of melancholy Songs jammed into my bruised and battered head Pounding out incessant melodies Your voice lingers here Invading and It won't go away Scar tissue blossoms into your definition of beauty Forget me knots and mauve hued contusions Etched across peachy dreamscapes of what you Thought was yours The darkest war ever known Closing over As you continue to **** me dry As I pay you in my blood Desiccated body bags and Pieces of my skeletons Left scattered over the places your feet have touched Pushed further into the ground The gallows of our past Fossilized terrors of our mistakes Until little memory remained Of the contours of your face Waves obscuring and obstructing the view Words washing out like a flood You broke me ****** again And this time I can't forgive you

bloodstone
Sleep sneaks up on her like shadow's tendrils curling across the walls Stretch and shrink as she recoils back into her shell Defenses stripped clean Huddled against a corner with mere blankets For protection barely suffice Ghosts looming over Wraiths of her former self Superimposed against ebony horizons Tainted a sickly shade of sulfur A warning sign Of worse unlived nightmares to come Cracked blinds and tattered curtains stripped of joy Windows translucent with fear Eyes peer out glinting icicles glass fragments refracting Slivers of the last gleams of light Bloodstones shattered ruby Silhouettes of what she once had Now swallowed by the knife of memory leaving Decayed flesh gravid with Unwanted tissue And hauntings of nightmares past Clouds of darkness enshroud Creatures entombed in flesh Craving freedom And warm milk

I miss the way your eyes used to sparkle Glinting with starlight and summer Dust swirls around your auburn locks Uplifting rosy tendrils Dancing around your head like fire crackling and sparking embers Igniting the view Leaves turn crimson Along with your heartbeat Pumping blood through infinitesimal connection Of veins and arteries Running deep along with the roots Sleeping dormant underneath beds of leaves Yearning to resurface Germinate beauty Winds blow free Whistling through the night Chilling what's left of our bones Provoking trees to shed their only cover Castaways left abandoned Scattered over a once fertile ground Harvested gems ****** dry To meet their fate of crumpled defeat Shadows grow thick Hanging heavy in the air They seem to be draped over things And follow your footsteps wherever you tread Looming over you throughout the night Along with taunts and cackles of phantoms Darkness is coming crystallized rain a washing the world with blankets of ice Creating dreamy snowscapes A mystical wonderland as if everything slows to a stop It seems so ethereal My mind loses feeling giving way to a perpetual numbness As we all fall asleep dreaming of morning dew coating meadows before ice brought the cold along with its tears Light continues to dim Letting a fuzzier coat of blue paint the sky Silhouettes block out the warmth The last remnants of sun Fading away with the vibrancy and laughter of autumn Leaving a meek replacement of what could have been And a longing to break free of this frozen apathy That glaciates our hearts

Wispy angel Children embedded with Sparkling fibers of light Danseuses blanched Paper doll trails honeycomb drippings Shedding casings Hollow cast offs coiled gaunt carapace loom Ominously floating in sea of shadows Byproducts of incessant motion growing thin Fading away with the glow of dawning until moon wakes from its perpetual sleep Awash in an ocean of night and luminous constellations of Twilight gloaming Elysium

gossamer
She's a withered flower Frozen icicles taper from her nails Smooth, delicate Crystalline infrastructures Encase her face in a sculpture Her own glass prison of memory Snowflakes feather her eyes Glistening with melancholy Tormented thoughts of a lost soul She hangs heavy Wing weighted with a harrowing defeat Bones drag her body down Under the darkest waters Smoke fills her lungs Choking her core Her once graceful body Moving with the dance of night Now paralyzed Suspended in an icy grip Her own demise Of wanting

Memory
Sleepy hands graze across milk moon lakes Blinking fog away and clear the haze Stars reflect deep turquoise pools Tinged violet around the rims Seeping water trickles Creating runnels Meandering through scar tissue And bruises, warm to the touch Soreness effervesce As violence retreats back into its shadowy corner Waiting to pounce Pursue its next unsuspecting victims Tension slides back into itself In the guise of a false security And reposefulness A safe blanket of silence falls over Snuffing out the light of a burning flame Darkness pervades, stretching past every last surface So when another set of eyes peers out Behind translucent curtains Alarm fails registration Of the screams escaping her mouth And hands covered in blood Taking what isn’t rightfully theirs

violence claims another victim
Nails scrape against skin Collecting dirt under translucent half moons Tinting shade Crisp with mint and rust Corrodes edges Percolating crevices Along with bleach white bones Straw colored hair Products of peroxide’s touch Inflated lips puffy Harboring bodies of deceased Fragments of skeletons blended smooth Clean Stripped of grit Stripped of love Plastic eyes glassy Fixed on light emissions From tv screens Cheap magazines And hours lost on internet Never to be claimed again

Maybe if I look back far enough Whip my head into the hands of oblivions It will snap Eyes once focused Sharp as a camera Now fogged over Apertures glazed over with misty perplexions Hazy dreams of aurora Ghosts of starlight White splatter paint haphazardly silhouetted against Void And recollections of midsummer night Forever lost to the banks of memory
