with a fancy knot
and bristles that poke your skin
it's wrapped around you,
and you fall
kicking your legs around,
searching for the balance you pushed away
your eyes roll back, white and gummy
your skin is a beautiful shade of lilac
the tongue dangling from your lips is dry and pale
your neck is swollen and blood is wetting the sisal
your fingertips are cold and blue
your sneakers and pointing down
and you can't even hear their screams when they see what you looked like after you tried to fly away.
death isn't the way out. get help.

insomniatrical
If they cannot see
The beauty that I see,
The strength,
The resiliency,
The loveliness,
And how amazing you are,
Then they are blind.

I left you in the woods
Now you can haunt me

Your fighting hard and pulling through
Hopefully you'll be coming home soon
All the prayers and love are being sent your way
Just take it one step at a time
day by day
We want to see you and hug you tight
Keep pushing through, your giving one hell of a fight....
My friend is fighting and doing better each day. It's a long road ahead for her. She may be transported back to her home soon. Fingers crossed and keep the prayers coming. Thank you all for your support!!

You do not get to hurt my feelings and call it "art"
I will not gift you in that way
You own all the credit but I refuse to give you fame
This is not a poem
If it were it'd be titled with your name
Details about how the clouds couldn't compete with me but instead,
I am feeling that feeling with no name
And that's why
This is not a poem
As I'm lying on this bed
I will sign it and hide it within my drawer labeled 12 AMs
Because you are not an artist
They create beauty from their own pain
But you have used mine
You will never know what it said
I still love you
But I must remind you,

that this is not a poem.

I see the trees trying to grow large enough to leave this place.
They were:

We are:
as if  statues  building  one another
large enough
to destroy themselves

We are the wicked,
making love
to our sickness.
and when wicked
is the eye of the beholder
we build a great and terrible machine around us which we call Us.

It is the shaking scared skeleton of a forest rotting away from a place which beauty built in it's sleep.

the motion picture of the horror sequence of our mind.

The world bleeds out the fire of man

Born inside a seraphim skin
we abuse and build death
around our bodies
in connected piles on the ground.

waiting calmly.
coming in for the ****.

an anthill
vacated and caved in
until everything is finally
quiet and still.

you can not grow skin
on a mausoleum
and wait for it to breathe.

while you sit
and you wait
your own skin
will leave.

when nothing is left to die,
in that time;
no one is left to grieve.

a moments pause
has no limit

its the eternal

<font size="22">“Can’t **** every day” is what he said
Hello, we don’t even.
Formal French frankly thrown away
Shock. No.
Scenes of SM and secret desires swirl to me
Wave of pleasure, literature of the flesh as well as poetry
All gone with the air of his breath. Breathe. No.

Can’t withdraw the ideas of fantasies
Can’t fight too long against love’s urges
Can’t deny to ignore them sometimes but
Can’t pretend to love him when his pride
As a male is destroyed, because his walking stick
Is askew, I’ve walked my path from California to here
Can’t always shush my fantasies’ atmosphere
I’m upstairs typing away my rage
On the from the start sensitive and ****** page
Wrote a book of poems full of mysteries and furies
Thought he knew it burned, bright.

Had a fight with my boyfriend. I proposed to greet his sword, he said no, then said I was only thinking of that.
