Luke Oct 2018
Sippin' coffee
My mind adrift
Which moon should take you?

And I
Left alone
With cold coffee
And a memory.
Luke Oct 2018
God works in mysterious ways,
Or not at all.
I feast on apples all day,
Only to trigger a fall.
Condemned homeless veins take needles to stave,
I, amongst these souls profane
weighed less than what God might save.

Did our savior turn his eyes from us
As Satan spewed miasmal wretchedness?
Rancidity overwhelmed the Heavens
And scorn fell like rain
drowning streets, ***** houses and churches,
and from these oozed the truth of our existence.
Birthed in this putrid slime
we crawled, and struggled, and ached,
and cried, and prayed to whatever god might listen-

Of course,
none ever did.

So we waited,

And waited,

And waited,

For nothing.
Luke Oct 2018
I closed my eyes to finally dream
But found less than what's before me.
So I gazed through the night
And part of morning's dawning.

If no tomorrow should ever bring
The bliss I knew that night,
I'll remember it with all my heart,
All my soul, and mind

As The End Of Paradise.
Luke Oct 2018
This toxic air
Exists to fill omissions
Between my fingers
And in my chest

I am home
Luke Oct 2018
Beasts of the deep,
Caged and asleep,
Arise tonight,
To haunt the street.

Flesh turned pale
From sheepish fright
Seeping ****,
And brackish blight.

Gnawing, chomping,
Devour, consume.

Phantasmal creak,
Lurid gloom.

These vile abominations
Licking flesh from the bone,
Creatures ripe with predation,
Deathly snarl and groan

Cloaked they hunt,
Looking to feed,
Lust and want,
And gluttonous greed.

Venomious eyes in your direction,
Monstrosities infected with disease,
But cower upon inspection,
And recognize you worst of these.
My contribution to Halloween this year. Hope you enjoy!
Luke Oct 2018
In God's yardsale
The sun he sold

He caused the night to linger
Long and cold

Our fragile globe
The light did shun

'Til you smiled
Our secondary sun
Luke Oct 2018
The words I want to say
remain unspoken.
censorship keeps them choked within,
gagged on rags of impoverishing self-hate.

How could I ever tell you?
