Matthew Dec 2019
mine is yours the love I grow
from within the beats of
my chambers times four
Matthew Nov 2019
Mama, oh, mother 

tas it "I" ?

who bought the dark cloud,
raining dark prison days, 
over and down onto, home?
did "I", soil daddy's sir name?
The history of my genetic donors are not a savory one!!!!
I stand in the doorway taking in the truth of the house built on the lies praying to be true
Matthew Nov 2019
it's just a-day, it's just the day, it's just a day, it was just a-day.
the sun was out, the breeze was light.
aqua flowing grass bending to its will.
as a life in waning, stumbles to a stop, and falls to the ground.
clothed in any day clothes.
a sky, blue as any man's dreams,
and the chrips, and the chirps, echoing the birds soaring with flight.
children in the backyard, playing games, running in their youth.
meanwhile, at the side of the house, disheveled, but the body takes no breath,
no rising in the chest.
by the time anyone reached in care, noticed he had no pulse.
Matthew Nov 2019
Dead on the water I found sound
Lost in the heavens I found hell
Pigeon-toed in my heart I found you
Matthew Nov 2019
your the heart that grown me cold
the saltwater burning down my cheeks

though I can't find the tears to cry
I fight your coarseness
from drying them to a white flakey crust

to be blown away in your tortured kiss adding to the turmoil drowning me in a painful thick brimy sea

the elixir you let me taste freely
that one, should never have slipped
in good faith

leaving me sunk on the bad ship heartwreck
Matthew Nov 2019
the voices keep
telling me,
the shadows

aren't really there

but I
still see them lurking

does that mean
the voices
aren't crazy

am I?
Based on true events , conjured from the shadows
Matthew Nov 2019
I cut myself, ever, moon lit night
Living drops, drip, pool in blood
To write, your name, in three fonts
