seasons

I awoke in the dead silence of the night
I was cold,
I rolled over searching for your warmth only you were not there.
I let out a startled cry
as I clutched my cracking heart.

I wilted with the flowers,
I became bitter and cold with the winter.
I matched the April showers behind the closed confines of my curtains,
when spring came I did not bloom
consumed with hot fury like the scorching summer sun
I fell apart.

then one morning I didn't wake up hoping to see you there,
I opened my curtains
I rejoiced with the flowers in the sun,
I hummed the melody of the birds
I swept up the old cracked pieces of myself left around the room.
I had not fixed my old self,
I had become a version of me without you.

Infinite Desire

We are an atom built within the galaxy
Wander and mingle for the sake of acceptance only
Sacrificing the only thing we own to get to the zero gravity
Hence, is it all really worthy?

Castles By The Sea

When all I try
And all I do
Falls down like sand
Midst castle molds

With knees
Red and worn

And eyes
Read and worn

I will dig the softly sudden earth
And build myself
A castle new

Never to be torn down
In this life

Castles By The Sea - With an inevitable end

Lyrical Dream

Only Human?

pour fire on my hands just to see if I burn
cut rubies from my flesh just to make sure I bleed
because though I've a heartbeat beating on
I'm not sure I'm alive just because that I breathe

#human #burn #breath #alive

greed

the greed of the world cause needs in the world.
some children are fed and clothed and others are left in the cold.
starving,
wandering,
searching,
working,
looking for something more,
never to know what God has in store

Do you care?
our mother has been dying for us
shes growing tired from our beatings
providing shelter and sustenance for us to learn and grow
we take and never give back

do you care?
our mother is falling apart,
the poisoned fumes and dark magic released by consumer greed and nasty business owners in suits?

we are able to small things to care for our mother,
but for most this is much too difficult
too difficult to separate the plastic from the cardboard
or using electric cars.
such simple things that could be done to save or mother,
allow our mother to care for our children and grandchildren

will you care when it is too late, is it too late? is there time now to make a change?
one influence can make a difference one life can make a change.
imagine what we could all do?

I

I feel no escape from the demons at war in my head,
I feel no escape from night terrors and teary blindness I awake in.
I feel nothing and everything all at once.

I am haunted grief, loneliness and anxiety,
I have watched roses wilt to ashes and ashes fade to nothingness
I have seen the flicker of passion dissipate between two people,
and ignite in other lovers.

I can hear the screams.
The screams that come from my lips as I hold the sharp shards of what was once me.
wounded I desperately try to scream to see if anyone will save me.

Days fade to months of isolation,
loneliness grasps my soul like a hungry demon
pain throbs in my chest.

So badly do I wish the hourglass could be flipped.
So badly do I wish I could be carefree and childlike once again.
Those times have come and gone
and now it is just me.
