i take a stroll in the software park
to a favorite spot of mine
unfrequented, a solitary retreat
a young lady comes
with such a look on her face
saying “poor teen, why you gotta be so down”
don’t you know miss
there’s no place for me in this ghost town

First and foremost I declare that I know the most about ******* over every person I hold close, I play them like notes;

Now this sentence will run, and this time it's not for fun; I'm a little drunk off the ***; but these feelings are ripe like a plum,

So I pick em and split em and break them down to pieces like a Reese's hoping that I can comprehend em, but I can only compress them and stuff them away.

It's the same **** every day like I'm stuck on repeat, like a shooting a 3, I hover on the boundary: I ask how do I please

Myself and everyone else, **** my life and everyone else. I feel like a doll on a shelf watching the world pass me by; the sands pass through hourglasses always on time.

Sure I'm getting carried away, wish I'd get wiped away by a wave, or maybe spend some time in a cave, I've been a pawn and a knave.

Beat me down with a stave, and place me on stage and then go flip the page, and I hope the next chapter includes the plague, and I'm not too vulnerable.

But the words that I cast down on paper are cast like a spell by a mage, like he cast a mirage to sabotage the rest of the fortress; I'm restless.

These feelings I'm feeling, well I'd say they're important, at least to me, atleast I hope you can see, like I've realized that she isn't right for me.

you have storms inside you one cannot contain
blizzards and cyclones, a wide range.
most destruction inflicted by yourself
the consequence of feelings that were long withheld.

if you let me in i will rescue you
drain the darkness from your soul and make it brand new.
we'll walk in the meadow, you'll be the sunshine
please, let me be your new starting line.

Once upon a midnight,
I awoke and turned around.
I heard an eerie, evil, cawing sound.
By the grave, I spotted the jet-black crow.
On that night, my soul froze.

Much I marveled at this giant, peculiar crow,
Sitting atop a long branch above the crumbled grave.
His caws a mocking laugh, as if he found something funny.
“A crow” chuckled I, “Yes, a big, black, terrifying crow!”
I sat engaged and entranced, unable to move as it flapped its majestic wings,
And left me all alone.

Now I am always dreaming about the
Ominous crow- tormentor of my dreams.
Invading my mind day and night
Deep into the darkness fearfully I go,
Into a kingdom full of sinister crows.

effusion on the
melt, lingua franca
of gold.
tongued to the tip
of its flame, twine
of dusted skin--
lit with professing.
pilgrimage's keel over
into otherness, that
far off land.
tried truer than truth
on the lips.
membranous bouquets,
rippling beside rectangular
rain.
patchwork of an amorphous
doorway, administering
symbolisms that outshine
light.
scale's draw, the weight
of open arms met with
like weight.
a kiss such as the forgetfulness
of faces, as if to say: we've
come to this my love--lateness
surrounds.
