Just another poet here that'll probably get lost among the other people who are better. I'll probably add what poems I have here so that there will be a record. Anyway if you happen to be reading this, I hope you like what I have to say~
Fragmented shards among the glass slate, Vivid glimmers of the visceral, Reflect fists as they scrape the surface. The pain doesn't surprise them, But the blood does. In translucent cells staring back Are tears falling from abyssal eyes. They never would have noticed.

Red Mirrors
To follow cemented roles And fill the passage tightly Brings forth hollow memories. Affixed in your shallow holes, I notice you stepped lightly Through the smouldering embers. What is found in dying coals Too deterred to burn brightly But a warmth not remembered? Now this trail the frost controls. One paved, no doubt, contritely By ambition dismembered. It sulks here between the elements. Why didn't you turn around?

The Rut
With a hushed tone, You whisper humming lies To sooth my bones, Yet questions still arise. Why is it that you watch your jaw? Where only truth laid impression, You pressure me with your "perfection" For what, hope that I'll remove my bra? Open your mouth wretch, scatter the hornets, And hope for that one ignorant, ***** Woman to become pierced by your stingers. I hope for her sake your poison lingers.

Verbal Poison
ever burning, eternal flame, you have taken my finite skies. the embers leave only a name for this vessel that holds no eyes. forever fire, you're to blame! heaven has fallen from its rise, and given ground chance to reclaim the life stolen by my demise! never shall I lose the shame of not ever exchanging goodbyes with my only love, the dead dame that my eternal flames despised.

Inner Fire
A reflection, When looked through eyes of peer infection, Is nothing more than skin complexion. But if given the chance of disconnection, A mind free from body will find direction. Follow it, and discover your unique perfection.

Reflection
Do you think me a fool? Have I given you reason to think I drool Upon my own ignorance as some lowly Uneducated boy? Let me speak to you slowly; I know how hard it is for you to comprehend Spoken lines and get said words to transcend Further past your own self reputations. So from now on I will speak in simple communications: I know of your affair With him, the ****** the one who shares lust's glare With you, the fuckee, the one who gives a tease And tantalizes to alleys where you sit on knees Then lick his **** to sip its corrupt happiness. You enjoy it don't you, this ravenous Savagery? I do not blame you, fuckee, A ***** thinks nothing better of herself besides good *****

You Are Who You Are
All roads given, and I took the shortest. With each step lessened, one more second Could be granted to my resting joy: A contempt existence riskless to the pushing wind. Only, when looking behind from the alley vantage, Points can be seen where decisions deemed Correct at the crossings, a straightforward Mind decides to never turn. This is a consequence only in hindsight is learned. I've had much time to observe this as my road, The shortest road, has been nearing it's end. And as I lay myself upon the frigid brick, I can no longer feel the wind.

Frigid Bricks Against the Wind
We are a vessel apart. Our arms outstretched take shape, Yet our fingers do not touch. A circular pit holds our cells together. That which carries our memories and burdens Has traveled in our embrace Like death on our backs. In this vessel, we carry what our heart lacks. Yet one can assume a pumping rot is not a heart. Selfishness cancels the light and air like a drape, And suddenly this vessel is our special crutch. We lean to it ever so gently, as would a feather, But just enough where we know for certain Our lives have become misplaced. We stand here alone, still, waiting to matter, Hoping for the day our vessel will shatter.

Vessel
Sentient catastrophe, Can't you see that you've broken me? The joy received from wicked twists Have drained all marrow from my wrists And soon I'll just be skin and bone, Paralysed by paths you alone condone. Puppet master, I have no choice But to repress my emotions, Since you gave no chord that gives me voice. Is this what you wished? A hollow life in motion Unable to rebel against your pulling strings? Is it because you know what your intention brings? Thread barer, am I ever free? Is there ever a loosened grip That grants my moves identity? No, like a whip you keep on cracking away, Tapping into my spine as you lead astray My standing vessel that has already died. So to my internal hope, my hands are tied.
