once
the
Stars

reduced
to
Ashes
truly,
every
single
thing

Nothing

...

Though, its love
its joy
its everything
will
live on
in the vast darkness,
a ripped sail

without a
strong wind

to rip
it
Apart

Orchards
Antonyme Apr 2019
The wheel in the sky keeps turning
pushing the silver scented satellite
ripe for the picking
though soft,
peach fuzz
adorns the highest peak
and flows in silver
drops of sunlight
down into its
slowly beating heart
tucked away
in the stardust
of the night's
blooming garden
of light

First Light

Squeaking of a pully

the grass made green
                          and the trees blow in blinding solar wind

Sanity
Antonyme Mar 2019
Scales
like dragon's
fake,
powerful
balancing reality
never truly tipping to either
side
until the end
final or repetitive

waiting for the nonexistent support to crumble
to stay destroyed
to rise again
Ending Forever
or
Rising
Again
Everything Ends

Some start again

Loss
Antonyme Mar 2019
Is winning really the only option?
Happiness the only outcome?
Who dictates us
in the conscience
of our own
desolate

Just wondering
And if your mind works backwards
from forwards
Why is that not normal?

Euphorically...
Antonyme Mar 2019
Warmth fills my shell
my heart has been lit
like a firework
awaits something more
like an everlasting explosion
trying to find the key
my arms stretch out
as if to grasp the horizons
and pull them closer to me
finally free
the source of perpetual motion
(metaphorically)
... Free
Moments of Euphoria
Are never ever lost

Somedays
Antonyme Feb 2019
The lights go by,
glittering fireflies,
sparse friendships found

on streets afflicted by a cracked mirror
only seen by me

Lights flicker in flowing windows,
barriers restricting everything
but light,

hollow light,

no love


in the barren streets,

Thinking
of You

Antonyme Feb 2019
As I lie in wake
my body wedged between consciences,
I dream a dream like no other,
a dream of sadness,
of happiness,
a dream of fear,
of peace,
yet, I lie

Awake

And backwards
my dreams take,
through cobbled streets and ally ways,
backyards and worn trails
effects spiralling between realms, consciences
I cannot tell though

as I lie
wondering when sleep borrows
my soul
though a watered down death
one that reverses,
giving life,
forwards, backwards
concealed beneath
the darkness

I lie,
awake
BEFORE THE SLUMBER...

Rise
Antonyme Oct 2018
I am stripped of everything
bare to the bone
my soul lies
in a malevolent sea
burning with hope and love
in the shadow
of darkness
my heart burns bright before it hits me
forcing me under
my light cannot be seen.
and all hope is washed away

though, as the oceans calm

to the surface,

still burning;



I Rise.
If you only believe in what you can see
you would never make it through the night.
Believe, and you shall see.

Drifting on the horizon
waiting to pass beyond
into what no one knows,
Anchored to the ground
in search of the clouds so far above,
though, looking past those clear mountains
blue lakes aflow,
I see all to be told
all to be seen
all to be heard,
and I wonder
if one day,
I can best those mountains,
swim in those lakes,
and cross over
the horizon...
look where no one has looked before
though, before doing that,
take a peek into your heart

Essence below which I lay

plastered on my celestial ceiling,
wanting each and every night
to last forever...

Left from right
Antonyme Jul 2018
Forgotten bottle sits upon
chilled coster so long ago
in a couple of hours
Radio still plays hits
circulating through a long-dead heart
VIII, so it seems.
Key clicks,
five soldiers fall
into pre-drilled foxholes,
letting their guard down for only a second
to long,
just like any day though not
so much
head wrapped in a cocoon
never opening
to let the butterfly emerge,
more like suffocating it.
The very thing bringing new life
dies
Hoping for a new day of sunshine and rain
and telling my left from my right


...

wait,
foot or hand?


...
frogot my water bottle on my dresser.
radio playing tunes that I LIKE.
yep,
sounds about right.

Physically
Antonyme May 2018
Once, a man had a dream
telling him

if you look, you shall find

Wrapping this message in
hopes and dreams, he laid it beside his heart
Leaving all things behind;
love...
family...
children...
to search of his calling

His home a nook
his friend a book
his heart he took
and threw it away

Days turned to weeks
...
weeks turned to months
...
months turned to years
...
though,
he sat,
looking weary eyes
to the horizon

A young man turned old
wishing for his dream to come true
without his heart

Slowly fading away;

Not realizing he was looking
in the wrong place

...

His heart still beating
beside the road
Look into your heart
and you will find.

Layers
Antonyme May 2018
An abandoned house
once a home
The dust stay to tell
the termites come to live
as the owners of the wood.
A picture hangs on a wall
A story written in his eyes
A smile drawn
Though, as I look
closer and closer,
deeper and deeper,
I see an imprefection
I reach and pull the seam
the fabric lets go,
revealing what was beging to be told.


A thought implanted in a passerby
...
A seed, growing
...
A tree, roots spreading deep
...
Pollinating a forest
...


but,
no.



Though, I ponder
another possibility.


My eyes sparkling against the moon


Walking past
My own house.
The story of a boy who does not know how to tell his own.
Enjoy!

Blink
Antonyme May 2018
A snippet of peripheral
caught in your vision
a sudden movement
a sudden incision

So, dear reader, if you may
do not let your quick sight sway
For if you blink, you will miss
A tiny drink of sudden bliss

Lock your eyes on the hunt
Stare straight through
though, do not stop;
It is like you

A shadow of darkness
brought to light
something so obvious,
something so bright

A tiny thing moves
you stop and stare,
Your imagination plays
under your hair
A tribute to my parents who always told me when I was little that there are no such things as monsters

The Sound of Silence
Antonyme May 2018
A trigger, gleaming in the black light
Pulled, for the sake of many,
though, not for all
Something clicked inside,
lost in the fire of arms
A sound of silence.
Explosions rock the field
my eyes lock with the hunt,
my bullet flying straight and true
nothing touches as it flies,
His eyes flit to mine,
blood drenched shirt;
shining scarlet.

He falls.

His thoughts cutting a deep trench in my mind
children...family...love.....
all lost in the sound of silence
His body lies forgotten
lingering like the falling smoke
to be brushed away to the sky

My gun still cocked,
safety still down.
A needle, trailing a thread
stringing up the souls of the dead.
Never forgotten

The sound of silence

Ringing,
through the sky
Dedicated to the veterans who served and who fell.
May their souls rest in peace
May 2018 · 505
Whisper
Antonyme May 2018
A sound,
caught up in the silence
a mistake by natural cause;
The winds whispering
through the grasses
trying to find an ear to tell
Their secrets
The movement of a domestic cat's ear,
swivelling to catch an unheard vibration;
a voice
Your mind trying to tell you that it was nothing,
yet succumbed to the lie itself
it's tendrils unfurling fully,
controlling more than you'd like
A sound,
caught up in my ear,
Begging
to be heard.
May 2018 · 241
Glazed
Antonyme May 2018
My eyes flicker,
entrapped on the slightest detail
Daydreaming,
A nail pinned to a wall,
a flying dust particle,
All misconceived by the eye
though I see it
a portal through which connects
to my mind.
The bend in the leash
reaching me ever
so closer to reality.

Until that happens,
They only come
when asleep

Canada
Antonyme May 2018
Wild are the winds who greet you
Happy are the smiles that meet you
Lovely are the skies above you
In the land of the free.

Every brick tells a story
of hardship and love,
the possibilities, endless
in the land not crossed.

The stars singing out the unbroken hymn of glory
from the skies abound, commemorating
the lives lost, bringing forth a new era.

The sea our brother,
the sky our neighbour,
everything else,
in between,
Our hands,
a beacon of faith,
outshining the most worthy successors.
...
Fly the flag
Of love,
Of trust,
Of freedom,
Of compassion,


Fly the flag,

Of Canada.

Fame
Antonyme May 2018
Wind rushing past my merciless eyes,
My wings beating out an undying tone
soaring ever so higher as the clouds fall away
and stars replace my view,
Leaving nothing but blackness
to fill the void in my heart.
My lips bend up in an inhuman manner
as I look beneath me.

Only to realize
that there is
a long way down
to fall.
Fame is not worth it

Light
Antonyme May 2018
My eyes reveal
the soft dust particles
floating on beams of light
playing on the cracked,
vined bricks,
Flowering on waves along the wall,
conveying on the stretch of broken stone,
winding on the bubbled pains to the wooden frames
natural blinds serving their purpose
my eye flitting to the top of the wall
a forest, growing
into the light.
