River Reed May 2020
Fate treats the future as time treats the past.
River Reed May 2020
Let my light be unlit

While the night sky sparkles

-

Once the sun dissipates beyond my knowledge

And the clouds have fallen beneath my presence
River Reed Apr 2020
Until a time after I’ve fallen
Down towards the sky
Another ounce of courage
Breeds endurance beyond demise

Until a time after I’ve fallen
And I’ve nothing left to sing
Search for past capacity
It’s why I’ve done such dreadful things

Until a time after I’ve fallen
Having broken what I pledged
I’ll remember who brought me up there
And pushed me off the edge

What I wouldn’t give to be pushed again
River Reed Mar 2020
You

Feeling none

Feeling me

Never

And ever

Might I be so lucky
River Reed Mar 2020
A cage of physicality
A maze of what’s beyond
Within my mentality—beyond all that might be
Fainting—a surplus of despond

Lone from all
Tightening walls—spawn phenomenon
Foregone capacity beneath their fall
Où est mon monde?
River Reed Mar 2020
Loving you’s a battlefield
Mines scattered beneath the surface
Minds rattled—can’t you tell?
Better mind my own business

You were right: It’ll never go away
I’ll forever be lost within my dreadful haze
If there’s a beyond, please show the way
I’ve no vision within this melancholic maze

I’ve tasted without my tongue
Remember those flavourful fantasies?
All the songs that I’ve sung?
Untethered, unto little tull from my knees
River Reed Mar 2020
Echoes like a canyon
Flooded like the sea
Louder than a waterfall
Crashing down on me

My mind is divided
Between was and is
Two moments in time and
I want none of it

Don't send me back
Rather speed me up
Having fallen from my track
Now in search of a shortcut

But to what?
