Towards the hill
Where the sun rises
Ends curl up

Eager petals unfurl
Awaiting the daily process
Fragments

Have fallen upon this vessel
Letters have become shy
Tucking themselves

Between these thin blue lines
Color leeches out
Imagery that was once used

Finds another place to be
Peeling itself
Off of this screen

A silence like no other
Withers through this tomb
Ensconced wistful wombs

Mother earth
Although weary
Not completely weak

Has still refused to succumb

Refuting a bend in this twisted end
Elizz Apr 2019
Crooning
Proud
Arrogant

Too high in the clouds
Icarus returns
An encore

Only to burn
For another turn

Summer keeled over
A horse who's heart busted in its chest
Running a race that it was never going to finish

Maybe that's what I tried to do
Running a race
Before the days slipped through the asphalt cracks

I thought if I obtained the properties of tar I could still slow down the days
Knitting them together
Alas time always flew by when I heard you laugh

Now I look into the mouth of a dragon
Objects are always closer than they appear

I gaze into the gaping maw of this beast

Sun rises
A trusted knight
While mother moon falls

Weeping
For burned out children
Who still

Pinprick the sky

Calico sits against this bone carved seat
Two black ears a brown patch next to the left

And

A pink nose
Obsidian stitched whiskers held high

A pink fox hides under this crypt
An adorable trade in
Heart skips

Content with this deal
End pieces smile in glee
It's not so bad having two plushies
Hallo!
Elizz Apr 2019
Weathered round top
And a steady beat
Sometimes that's all you need

A metronome ticks
Reminding me of band
The curve of my French horn

This wasn't supposed to last
Finger printed love poems
Skip the fire stage

Straight to ash
It could've been fixed you weren't wrong
I know that I didn't draw these lines on this map the right way

Crooked and scrambled
I'm not going to say sorry though
Sometimes things aren't supposed to make it

And that's ok
Because it's just the experiences
That have peeked out from behind a rock
Sap covered lessons
That stick to us when we walk away

I'm fine
Happier even

Raven feathers descend
Upon this still pitched mirror
Ridiculously puffy clouds

Reflect back to this cornea
Everything is alright

And I will gladly indulge
In this tranquil water
For however long

It chooses to stay
