steven-23 - Hello Poetry

Filthy pitted face Bile Green Gleaming viscous fangs Bright Yellow From time to time this friend of mine comes to say hello The stench nauseating grinding knots in my bowels I respond promptly enough, quick strike to the dome, and he recoils to the shadows But to pretend his whispers can't be heard to pretend the gleam in my eyes as I feign integrity isn't him That right there, Is a bit more challenging. So bottoms up, Let's entice our demons To come and play

I love you, I say with the slightest metallic shimmer in my eyes nearly imperceptible body armor cold to the touch Such a weak way to go about love.

. I hear the sound of my footsteps and the beating of my heart My heart reaches its tender fingers outward And the impending silence fills me .

I sit upon my chair and think of life It feels this stage is set right on a knife To left, a choice to fall into the clay Into machines, they grind and knead away To right, the darkness eats at time itself Room flips, and values fall from off your shelf Just kiss the knife with toes one at a time Breath slow, the edge, I pray, will grow, to feel Sublime

Her I sit, just trying to write Applying to jobs like that’s my life’s plight To pave right ahead, don’t think till I’m dead Grows heavy feelings in fingers like lead What feels not genuine in things I’m sendin them? I try and be real yet I see I pretend again Again and again, deceits all I’m lendin them Breath nice and slow and try an begin again Again and again, nothings been mended friend Take what you’ve got and take what you’ve done Throw all that on paper, compressed into one Page One single page My resume What does it say of me? Dry tidbits of years and hours that came from me Once it was sang from me Once pulsed and rang from me Like torrents of heart, blood, and tears It all drained from me Left out in the sun, some dry shrinking things The future will come Let it bring what it brings

Tock clicks As life, and Love, Slips Listen To my heart fail Genuine emotion My only hope to prevail The Swirl and Swivel Of this grisly, grimy Theater dribble As hearts dance Together and Apart Doomed to bitter distance From the very start

Give me Breath for Death

Tock clicks As life, and Love, Slips Listen To my heart fail Genuine emotion My only hope to prevail The Swirl and Swivel Of this grisly, grimy Theater dribble As hearts dance Together and Apart Doomed to bitter distance From the very start

Strip me of my future endeavors Let me live in this present moment (and both melt away)
