Paint it, craft it
Invent it as if
Pretend the interior
Doesn't actually exist
Create a back drop
Of reason and rhyme
Initiate aesthetics
Present it sublime
Imagine a new world
Where circles entwine
Let it originate
From your own mind

Traveler Tim
Sometimes im silent
Not because i dont have anything to say
But simply because
Its hard to talk over the voices in my head

Lost Poet
Such a disgusting monster,
Too this, too that,
Gorging itself only to regret it,
Killing in order to live,
Maybe I should break the mirror,
So I don't have to see the beast anymore.
Do you ever get those thoughts?
Those mean dreams?
Neverending nightmares?
Knowing that you’re chained in a world of despair?

Did you ever think of those things?
Those dangerous intentions of strangers.
That fear,
Of never escaping the cruel time?

Do you ever plan those nights?
Those nights hiding from yourself.
The circle of pain.
Or realizing you’re trapped in your own world?

Don’t you ever cry because of yourself?
Because you knew about it.
Or that your mentality reached insane?
Would you stay or keep falling forever?
loneliness
used to taste like cough syrup,
coating my throat
in artifice.

now i'm just lovesick
dancing in a sea of lights
they kiss my skin like
tulips/two lips/i'd choose this/new bliss/
our mouths collide like planet & asteroid

blood's rushing through my veins
trying to tell me to sing hallelujah
because i'm finally
just
living

and although
the pain is there
it is fading out of touch

i don't know where to stop
but i'll always
start
with this
i'm losing my mind, losing control
did you expect my flowers
to bloom among you?
what could grow on your dry land?
only weeds.
