I have fallen from grace
What oppression I face
One man
Would kick me when I am down
And when I am drown
By his violent opinions of self importance
I have time
To contemplate
Any one persons relevancy
In the grand scheme
Of gravity
I fall beautifully.

Live a life in black and white-
It will make you long for color
a lost lover
The tail of a peacock flourishing the air
like the smoke of a clove cigarette
a longed for embrace
Another ceremony of storm wind
dancing spectrums into view
Under cover, your colorless eyes
sparkling with hope
“I love you too”
And when the lights have all gone out
Another darkness subsumes
Your loss of vibrancy
Teetering on evergreen feathers
Has driven you to dream

How silly it is to love
To expose your body
Naked
Writhing and thrashing
On the edge of swords
Seeking escape from the pinions
The freedom
You had all along
But the trap
You coveted
Drawing it closer into you
Until the pain becomes a friend
Never desiring  
For the torture to end

Somehow
I would know of your touch
By any hand
It’s a slight of fingers
So quickly grazed
In a daze
I recognize the
Intangible
I cannot see anything
With your hands over
my eyes
And your hands are cold
Pulsating with a feeling
We both haven’t forgotten
But, I see everything
The truth showing through
All of the volumes of your lies
J Onyx Mar 30
Your voice echos in my memory
Haunting and maturing
Into even crazier nightmares
You hang over me like a willow
And I’m a child sleeping beneath the stars
Nurtured and trapped
I hear you calling me
Like rain, you crash into the earth
Like a Hurricane
You dismantle my every foundation
And your storm presents a cataclysm
The leaves rustling shyly over my heart
When it’s all over
And it may have never been real
And maybe
you were a dream all along
You came to steal my reality.

I’ve always been wandering
In circular sadness
J Onyx Dec 2024
I saw someone I thought was you
Creeping from the crevices of yesterday
Navy cap over your hair
Quietly walking into a store
I am certain you never existed
Disappearing like a bad magic trick…

I guess I held on to a fantasy
And I kissed a dream
All I actually saw
was a specter tonight and
He was a really
pretty ghost
As dark as the moonlight
