Ellipse
Adam J Smith Nov 2013
Sitting upon this old stump
the middle of a forest
dampened with secrets
with actions
with words
with promises

A quiet place with such loud screaming.

At the end of every journey
I always end up here
Left in wonder
an itch inside my skull
a droning hum
a beating drum
hearken to the horrors
suffocate in bliss
ask yourself why

Flying voids and crescent catapults
slither up above.
This quiet place
so empty yet so full.

Across a Pond
Adam J Smith Nov 2013
Soft light
dripping through my window

The morning knows
how I feel

You're the silhouette
upon my shoulder

You're the singing
of the day

It's hard to pass you by
leaving footsteps everywhere

It's hard to even try
but my music box will dare

I may never know
how you pluck away the cold

Bittersweet spoken memories
dipped in gold

It's a bit warm again
Adam J Smith Nov 2013
Subtle tastes of what could be
future framework
assemble within the cloud I often call
my mind

Stricken with notions of possibility
swords of desire
like pins through the mended quilt
patches of past

I shall not build upon certain stone
cold or warm
let the light ring through to my judgement
before I set the first post

Untitled
Adam J Smith Nov 2013
You are the elaborate mural painted ever so intricately within my mind.
You are the thousands of hands pushing against my chest.
You are the one who strings my harp from the strands of my being.

Without you, art is dull. Words are meaningless.
Water composed of fire becomes bittersweet. Walls of reality collapse.
Without you, the colours of sound grow grey and tiresome.

Replace my veins with neon lights
Replace my heart with an electric key
Replace my eyes with shards of ice
Replace the thoughts inside of me

Stung
Adam J Smith Nov 2013
When something you adore is out of grasp
it can leave the soul in ache.
Like a poison bite from the subtle asp
dreams from you it will take.
