Wonders
Pylyp Sep 2022
I belong to the stars
From which I came
To which I'm drawn
Someday
To dust

Sequence
Pylyp Feb 2021
Love me to know me
Know me to hate me
Hate me to leave me
Leave me to love me

Ashes
Pylyp Jan 2021
Suffocating regret
Dances around the dark
Empty room

Gone is the flame
The unbridled wildfire

My dear
Scarlet fury

Perpendicular
Pylyp Jan 2020
You have your line
And I have mine
And though I saw you coming

Your life went here
And mine went there
Forever lost in time

Our touch was brief
But I still see you
Fading into night

Goodbye

Wolf
Pylyp Jan 2020
Among
So many
I am
Alone

Roots
Pylyp Jan 2020
Sometimes a struggle
Has no cause

Sometimes a battle
Has no foe

Though often
Do I find myself

Admitting I'm
The root of all

Tricked
Pylyp Jan 2020
Mesmerizing eyes
So dark
Memorizing lies
So dark

Piece
Pylyp Dec 2019
A little bit
Of you
In me
Filling a gap
The missing piece

Scarlet Fury
Pylyp Dec 2019
The moment I saw her
My mind emptied
Thoughts were difficult to formulate
All I saw was her beauty
Her radiance

Crimson hair swaying gently in the breeze
The sun striking each individual strand
Reflecting brilliant mixes of red and gold

The butterflies in my stomach turned to a hornet's nest
The lump in my throat pulled at me with the force of a dying star

As she spoke
My heart skipped
When she looked at me
My skin flushed
From her smile
I melted

Her eyes, fierce
Yet soft
Her laughter rolled off her tongue
Harmoniously
Her lips
Warm and inviting

She was a spark in my darkness
Now a raging wildfire

In the midst of it all
Her silhouette
I see

A scarlet fury

Staring into the dark abyss
Into me

Ticktock
Pylyp Nov 2019
Moving ever forward
Forever looking back

It only costs
A piece of me

Each time
Each moment
Turns to black
Nov 2019 · 530
Lone
Pylyp Nov 2019
Rip me open
Tear me apart
Just as long as I get
To feel you again
Oct 2019 · 142
Symphony of Sadness
Pylyp Oct 2019
The deafening wails
No one else hears
The pain
No one feels

But I
Oct 2019 · 311
Stone
Pylyp Oct 2019
I lie beneath the stars alone
Just wishing for your company
Reliving nights of fantasy
Melting, together
Hearts of stone

Picture Perfect
Pylyp Oct 2019
A picture of happiness and success
Struggling internally

A drag of a cigarette
Calms down the nervousness

Waiting to hear from her
Waiting for her

Oh the foolishness
Desperation

Precarious entanglement
Inevitable outcome

Of loneliness

In the Mountains
Pylyp Jun 2019
The rhythmic ticking of the clock
Resounding quietly throughout
A dark, cool, lonely cabin

The spider calling home
A water pale, baby blue
Must vacate from the rising water
Giving life to plants beneath

The forest's orchestra
Each bird's sweet chirps
Unseen, yet heard

The fire roared some hours past
Now dying quietly
The embers faintly glowing
Oozing smoke

The mountains shared
Life's harmony
With me
Jun 2019 · 302
Paralysis
Pylyp Jun 2019
Afraid
To sleep
Fearful
Of dreams
Terrified
To wake up
May 2019 · 816
Delight
Pylyp May 2019
So many beautiful words
And no one to say them to
May 2019 · 279
Night
Pylyp May 2019
When darkness settles all around
The world quiets
Stars creep out
To greet a broken soul
Hello
Silent companions
Brilliant lights of yesterdays'
Adventures
Painted
On the canvas of the night
May 2019 · 207
Reality
Pylyp May 2019
The deafening silence
All around
Filling each corner
Of my mind
One by one
Consumes my thoughts
An emptiness
A silent scream

Reflections, Moment
Pylyp May 2019
The moon only shines
To reflect
Those eyes
They will blind me
Let me
Drink in the sight
One last time
Brush against me
Hold me
Don't worry
Let go
Vision fades
Into dreams
There
I'll find you
Finally
Let me
Go
Some chapters in life need their own epilogue.

Stuck
Pylyp Apr 2019
String me along
Pull me apart
Put back together
Abandon me

String me along
A little bit longer
Pull me apart
A little bit wider
Put back together
A little bit slower
Still I'm abandoned
Still I come back

Breath of Life
Pylyp Apr 2019
Strangers' lives
On separate paths
Entwine together

Strands of fate
Align
Two hopeful souls

For what are we but passengers
On trains
Of grander schemes
Attempting life
Attempting love
Just breathe

Let fears wash off
I'm here
Let sorrow dissipate
My dear
Erase all worries of the past
See clearer
To future bright
And don't forget
To breathe

Malevolent
Pylyp Apr 2019
The wind
It stirs and howls in fits of rage
Within a violent maelstrom
Icy rain
Begins descent
To rip apart to pound
Against a soul's repressed unhappiness
Unbound

The blackest oil
Abyssal night
These stars won't shine
Yet light exists
Inside
Unkempt
Deprived
Illusions
All for nothing
Stuck
Entwined

What's done is done
Though
Then the mind
Comes undone

A weightless burden
Bearing down
Your shoulders wail
Yet you protest their cries
Deny them rest

In time you learn
The storm
A test
Your will survived
The weight begins to lift
Off of your grieving chest
Your shadow
Former self
Looks back at you
Through you
And smiles

Spiral
Pylyp Apr 2019
Love found quickly lost in a whirlwind
A picture
Captured quickly
Swept underneath another scripture
Once made of promises made to no one
Once filled with misery felt eternal
How can a light so true be taken
How was vision so mistaken
Soul torn apart at the seam
Now ruptured
Collapsing structure
Defective architecture
Made to last long enough to witness
The suffering
Grieving
Parts lost of a loved one
Stretched thin
Between the mind and abyss
No sanity expected any of this
Ignorance
Bliss
Simply existing to exist
Ashamed to admit
The resisting will to live

Runaway Thoughts
Pylyp Apr 2019
Drink from the cup of despair
Sweet relief
The respite
Though compared to a usual blanket of compliments
Passed at the table
The cloth
Soaked with lies
Stripped of everything once clear to creep up behind
Turned around once again
Just a tad
To the left or the right
Just to prove we avoided disaster despite many nights
Sleepless
Conscious of whirlpools drowning the pieces inside
Left to rot just beneath
The swirling surface
Forgotten
Abandoned
Left off to the side
For the demons to feed on the one thousandths time
Only one place to hide now
Concerning it might have been foolish to think
That tonight could be different
Yet what kind of idiots are we
But instruments left by our hollowed out shells
Seeking shelter from frightening parts of our lives
Left to deal
Regardless of our consent in this fight
With our selves
For a trophy more meaningless than our will
While our ego grabs hold
And manipulates sense of direction
To steer us to hell

— The End —
