Deluge
Eyebot477 Feb 2021
I am empty but virile
teeming with life found in the black sea
amidst the crashing waves I drown in stars
I cannot find my way to the top
I guess there never was one
We're aging but immortal
the spirit not as alive as the shadow
you can't tell me this is the way things were supposed to be
it's just the way they are
my optimism inverted as my mind comes back alive
waking up and not even realizing I died long ago
the meaning not found replaced by a void with meaning
where am I
how do I get out

Hello Friend?
Eyebot477 Mar 2021
We may not know each other,
but you can hear me can't you?
I may not know you brother.
I suppose it doesn't matter.
I will beseech your senses through the veil.
There's a place that you reside.
Mortal plane present always,
notwithstanding deep inside.
Everything follows you,
long after it dies.
You can't see it anymore,
even if your clear your eyes.
Like a myth you filled my mind,
comfort I tried to find.
I could see you grow like the Great Alexander.
Long past the trite familial woes,
I failed to gerrymander.
We may never meet,
but at least I know you're out there.
Much unlike my brother diving into the life after.
Sometimes I think these types of thoughts belong,
into the ether.
We will go,
As our corpses rot away,
perhaps it doesn't matter anymore.
I'll see you in Albuquerque.
Man, I just feel quirky.

Receptionist,
Oh Receptionist,
A ticket I seek,
to a requiem.
Not for a dream,
for reality,
playing out morbidly.
Could I truly capture it,
reminisce in this hell pit
Could I have a creed,
that prevents my ascension
I am but empty,
missing the tension.
She wants to be beaten,
and I am too far.
Much closer are the streets,
wherever you are.
Turns out she'd rather be beaten by a ****.

Mischief Homage
Eyebot477 Aug 12
When I finally had the words,
I cursed those words,
In my mind I put down blurbs,
Drowned my brain with a unique,
Need for pity.

A brisk touch, finality,
destined death stuck here with me,
give me growth, fake artistry,
or something witty.

Come sit down we're amending,
wanting plenty known trite endings
for the people still pretending
to use those wretched hands,
Another round,
and reamending,
to the deafening rescinding,
and lack of brevity,
A lack of sound,
It's unending,
In everything but memory.

Watching as they take their flight.
How they long to use their might,
fighting what they feel is right,
in their misery.
it's just missing pageantry,
no more prophets left at peace.
As we deliberate a niche,
for their eulogy.

So now the question posed to me,
stuck dissenting endlessly,
Lamenting what should now be free,
with no olive tree.
And sure, I know I'll understand
why they all long to find a clan,
empty kinship, ****** hands,
people used as grains of sands,
glass for entry.

Come sit down we're amending,
wanting plenty known trite endings
for the people still pretending
to use those wretched hands,
Another round,
and reamending,
to the deafening rescinding,
and lack of brevity,
A lack of sound,
It's unending,
In everything but memory.

The times we found were stuck on tracks,
Puppets walking, string-held acts,
Answers that we all seek out,
very grimly.
Undermined by empathy,
stuck in our own Haligtree,
wanting more faux artistry, liminally.
Doomed to fade into the tracks,
chasing dreams of vapid stacks,
so we don't bleed straight through the cracks,
into our own sea.

Come sit down we're amending,
wanting plenty known trite endings
for the people still pretending
to use those wretched hands,
Another round,
and reamending,
to the deafening rescinding,
and lack of brevity,
A lack of sound,
It's unending,
In everything but memory.

— The End —
