Forgive them

Slime-God Oct 2022

Forgive them

Forgive them, my love,
They fear what they cannot feel
Hiding from the rain

Shelter is subjective

Priority

Slime-God Jun 2022

Priority

I gaze at the stars
and yet, none of them matter
I look back to you~

Of all I've seen, and all I've done, nothing could have prepared me for you,
the world looks different since I met you, I long for the day I can read these to you

Delirium

Slime-God May 2022

Delirium

Caught in the current
I am pulled into your smile
Laughing and crying

Sometimes someone comes along who makes you so happy you can't help but bawl your eyes out

I am in love with an idiot

Cloud Gazing

Slime-God May 2022

Cloud Gazing

I wish this could last
As the rain washes my face
I remember you

It's amazing how something can change

even the gentle touch of rain plays as your fingers on my flesh, muddling my thoughts

Out of body

Slime-God May 2022

Out of body

Perhaps I have died
On this dimly lit morning
I can't find my soul

Were I not so clumsy perhaps my wandering soul would not stray so far afield

though, indeed, it would still follow you, I merely wish to keep up

Shapes shift

Slime-God May 2022

Shapes shift

As life shapes the land
From a dream to something more
I shall shape myself

Even creatures of habit sometimes find someone worth changing for.
If only it were so easy for us to change their minds as well.

Tide-Caller

Slime-God May 2022

Tide-Caller

My mind ebbs and flows
Torn between the sun and moon
I long for eclipse

Some of us fall in love too easy

Unrequited

Slime-God May 2022

Unrequited

Gawk at the silence
I see the pattern too well
I am not the one

Love pours from my mind and body, yet seldom does it find it's way back to me

Hearth-Hearted

Slime-God Apr 2022

Hearth-Hearted

Rest, little ember
Nest yourself within my palm
Let me be your pyre

Take me as your fuel that you may grow to encompass all you deserve, I would be honoured as ash in your glow

Impatience

Slime-God Apr 2022

Impatience

Watching saplings grow
A young crow awaits their fruit
Plucking it's feathers

Patience was never my strong suit, nor was nurture, perhaps in spite of this something beautiful will grow, fit even for a fickle crow

Cyclical Passion

Slime-God Apr 2022

Cyclical Passion

I've become the moon
Trapped in pursuit of the sun
Taunted by your warmth

I haven't posted in a while, imagine coming back just to whine about how he doesn't love me... maybe one day

Dashed

Slime-God Apr 2022

Dashed

As warm as the sun
Further than the star-lit sky
I can't forget you...

Sometimes you don't get the answer you were looking for

Homesick for nowhere

Slime-God Mar 2021

Homesick for nowhere

I wake here daily
but home doesn't sound like this
I'm a stranger here

You ever feel out of place no matter where you go?
I think my home was a long time ago...

Grasping

Slime-God Feb 2021

Grasping

And I beheld fog
Swirling, echoing my thoughts
Reaching out; to feel

If we could be so in tune with everything as the fog, we might know peace.

Shelter is a storm.
Flying high; my heart within.
Why must you float on?

Ice-pick

Slime-God Nov 2020

Ice-pick

Ice-pick finds my ear;
**** this unfettered silence.
I long for music...

This one's not literal, my ears are fine, but snow doesn't sing as rain does

Colder than home

Slime-God Nov 2020

Colder than home

I feel such distance
in these few cold, dying months.
How can they last, so?

Home is the spring rain.

Stargazing

Slime-God Nov 2020

Stargazing

Cold snaps me awake,
staring at gaps in the stars.
How long has it been?

I find myself lost again in a seemingly perpetual night sky

Seasonal Longing

Slime-God Oct 2020

Seasonal Longing

Stay, my frigid heart,
the night-song will come again.
Winter will not last.

The winter's silence rings blaring anathema to those who dwell in sound.

Love letter

Slime-God Oct 2020

Love letter

Our soft universe
had never known perfection
until it first rained

Lightning struck nearby, it blinded my eyes, and rang my ears like a bell.
I have never been so in love.

Incandescence

Slime-God Oct 2020

“Beautiful.” I weep.
My eyes set upon once more
by the sun’s virtue.

Grey memory

Slime-God Oct 2020

Grey memory

Long have I known fog,
his name, a penumbral thought.
Just like all the rest...

Thoughts have long passed through me like a rolling fog, hazy, and never long to stay. Longer have I wished for their lasting company.

Runaway home

Slime-God Oct 2020

Runaway home

Rain makes me feel safe.
I’ve long found home in the storm...
Why can’t it just stay?

I know it's selfish, but if I had my way, the rain would never stop.

Ruby eye of god
You’ve cast my world in ember
Such warmth, is your grace.

To sit upon my duty,

Bade to dream

Slime-God Sep 2020

Bade to dream

Have you grown weary?
Would you like to rest a while?
Shut your eyes with me...

for clarity yes, I mean bade, the past-tense of bid, not bad.

I miss the rainfall
As these short days grow colder

To Frank, who's name I do not know, but assume is Frank

I just yelled at my neighbour
And called him a clown
