One Day
Shain Brown Apr 2021
I am coming.

Traveling the current, while facing backward.
Watching the world change every moment.
Feeling the wind of past storms.
But I, am coming.

Taller than the tide, but shorter than the fish.
I'm a pebble in this abyss.
Without food or water.
But I am coming.

This place is still.
As I see no land, no water.
Only the sky, mixing the colors.
And I am coming

You're close, I can see it.
A light moving in circles.
The light stopped, opposite to me.
But I am here.

It's dark.
Time has halted, freezing my ocean.
I am here.
Where are you?
This poem was inspired by "Life of Pi".

Paralysis
Shain Brown Dec 2020
I saw it
A figure the size of me
filled with the empty black
injecting a pricing screech
that pushed me further in my bed
I can't move
as it is looking at me, and through me

the sounds are getting louder
tickling my eardrum
I close my eyes
and open to see it climb the walls
I close my eyes again
and wake.
Sleep paralysis affects millions of people each day. This was one of my experiences.

give me a moment
just a little moment
to not exist

Alien
Shain Brown Nov 2020
What tribe are you from?
I can only see your legs and arms

Colors are dying through your eyes
bringing neon light
and tilted skies

I cant see and can't speak
of your beautiful physique

Blinded by the wonder words
you say to put me right asleep

I wake without sight
truly blinded by you
This was written back in high school when I was too attached to a being who wasn't attached to me.

Expedition
Shain Brown Nov 2020
I cross the ocean for you
only for my ship to sink
not by fire or cannon
but by the simple toll of waiting

decay

I feel the water squeezing my chest
replacing my air with your water
pushing into my system
that was never mine

Beyond
Shain Brown Nov 2020
The universe  is beyond our eyes and ears
close all
and you will hear and see.

Replacement
Shain Brown Nov 2020
You and i were there
Watching as our worlds crash down
We repaired them
No, We repaired yours
And let mine burn down in the ashes
But that was enough for you

You let me freeze
Time stopped
Nothing moved

Until you pressed play
On my life
Then I lifted your world
And you left me in the cold, again

I tried to call out
I needed help
I needed you

But you didn't care as much you said you do
And went on with your new life
One of many

Next time your world will crash down
I'm not helping you lift it
You'll be alone
Frozen
Like me

Float
Shain Brown Nov 2020
The Blackbird protects me.
It sits on my chest
Talks to me
And tells me
To float

The Bird helps me fight
The wars
It helps me find peace
And when there is none
It tells me to float

Then it leaves
Melts with the shadows
Of the corners

I am alone now
Desperate for air
My lungs shrink
My heart beats
My head sinks

And I
Let go
Lay down
Drain.

And float.

Human
Shain Brown Oct 2020
There are times i'm just too tired to think
too tired to care
too tired to love
it's just the human inside of me, pushing the walls
burning itself out
just like the rest of you

every single thing
Shain Brown Oct 2020
everything counts, so everything matters
everything is a bet, and a sacrifice.

Living ghosts
Shain Brown Oct 2020
I can see
all the ghosts around me
all bundled into two
leaving me be

they go right through
without possession
destroying my life
without aggression

I cannot join them
because they fade away
as darkness folds in
I have to stay

a thousand years pass a second
as I watch the universe
inside this room
filling the curse

Go
Shain Brown Oct 2020
Go
I think I'm ready to go
but society's telling me no
holding be back with a torn rope
that won't let me cope

I think I'm ready to leave
because the chills crawling up my sleeve
make me feel whats further
like I've been murdered

I think I'm ready to cry
but my tears float up and die
as I fall down into oblivion
a new reality that I'm living in

All eyes (on me)
Shain Brown Oct 2020
The hunt is on, run
Hide from feelings, hide from feeling
Hide from the eyes
the eyes on me

Boiling red tuned to absolute zero
not a thing moves
except you, creature
the one who sees
the one who knows, and shows
who hunts for me
searching for the mystery that could be solved
if they cared enough to breath

mortem
Shain Brown Oct 2020
A ghost lives within me.
Slowly poking memories in my mind
haunting me of my past
slowly offering me darkness
as it takes away my light

Let me catch my breath
one last time
while the sunset lowers
and I die with the sun

but its never over
as I am here
a living vessel
crafted by stolen parts
leeching by the dead night

— The End —
