The darkness gives way to butterflies and repulsion breaths life into statues of dead dogs...    
    
These horrors must be kept.    
    
Though stitched eyes would bring no release to these lost soldiers    
    
A forest far away burns down and you scream my name    
    
Crying all the while, the mother's child dies    
    
Will I ever be free?    
    
A shadow looms through the window and you reach to the outstretched hand    
    
Will you take his word over the eyes in a painted room?    
    
Faceless words mutter silently in a meaningless language    
    
These premonitions so clear...    
    
Could I simply be slipping out of view once again?    
    
Lost in a dream about a dream    
    
Eyes flutter open    
    
The beating of wings of glass winds

A knife's edge will cut through the night and leave me in silence    
    
Quiet and alone, you will die!    
    
A wealth of burden all his own to eat    
    
Darkness gives way to the dawn and the butterflies take flight though the deliverance of daylight
This poem I wrote in 2011, it's one of the very first I ever wrote. I hope you enjoy it.

So we can get this over with already...






I told you...




                  "I'll just walk away"
Don't drag it out.

I need this absolution
Andrew Kerklaan Nov 2015
...would it be too much to ask that you leave me here?

I need some time alone to reconsider myself...

I want to be reclusive.  Or least to be left alone

I want to keep my saturated infestation inside myself and not allow it to carry on in you.

I need to grow cobwebs in my hair and feel I've become harder then stone.

Need to dehumanise

To slip from grace just one last time and fall from love's watchful eye

With the hopes and dreams that I may float away from here 

 -one day

 and never return
I will never let this go .
it is my resolution


This dream of mine that can only harm.
It is of no worth.
But somehow still...  I need it
Andrew Kerklaan Aug 2012
While this is happening you will be my secret
Until this is finished nobody will hear you crying out
And unless I let you go then the moon will fall


You must know I do this for you...

Clawing at the eyes that must see
Feel this release around you.
Intimate... Soothing... Embrace...


I need this


Empowering me, I become weightless in it's magnificence and soon I may float away
To watch from below
Knowing exactly what has to happen...


and dreading the day they call upon my return
Sometimes I feel as though I'm bound to this place.
Perhaps by someone elses will.. But until I let this go I will never be truly free.
"I will float away"
