Always a grain of hope
Pressed into these soft
Edges
You call lust
Chrome blush
Blooming in your trust
Shading in the veins of your leaf
As I sway myself to sleep
Glistened gazes shut
Once
I mark you
Unplugged
As vulnerable as I ever am
You grow naked ever more

Petrified with a tired song
Of metal you call rust
Hold me
Once
I'm gone

When all the world’s ablaze
I will hold you loosely
Loosen our tenure
Of life in qualm
In daze
Of longing
Of something better

Feel.

However pale with every yawning
Know that you are freeing
See that you are slipping
Distant
Within my reach
Finally conceding
All of life lived being
All of tumultuous jeering

Carry me along
The pedal flows
The branches' growth
And everything
But your glow
Iridescent luster

Here, I stand
A part of this whole, I refute
Apart, part cosmos, part man
Here
I stand
In all that I constitute

Lost is he who sees not all, but all’s despair
Far too gone is he who knows nowhere

Reason for being settles on foreign ground
Irreconcilable mood without a frown

Carry me along
The kettle’s moan
The slanted hope
And everything
But your story
Gust of air, left bare

Cursed is he who grasps your silenced glory
Rust encrusted journey
Your truth has set me free.

Heed to the comforts
Within the glow of plague
Compass the outskirts
With your elapsed face
Bring nothing
But a taste
Graze everything
Without a trace
Listen
To the whips of pace
To the rumble of roots
Drenched in pain.

Do you listen to the song the dolphins sing?
So familiar and so distant
Let me sing to you of the soft blooming and the dumbing down of rust

The deep darkness sleeps, as your eyes clinch
Linger the fold away with not another blink

Inhale the moist stench of pity's salty breeze
I'm standing on the vanilla frosted mountain you can not reach.

Into the crevice
Of oceans miles deep
Child of the extinct
Tread your way over
To the clutter of streams

Seeker of the light
Enduring the edge
From falling years ahead
Of feathers bound within
Twisted branches
Of hues

Into the belly
Of tempest’s allure
Reaper of dreams
Soak me into the paint
Pave the draft way
To my escape

Hunter of clouds
Leaning off children’s walls
Delve among the color
Strap into the sanity
Of their annihilation
Tinted inhumanity

Along with their impel
Color me closed
Among all us
Pretty shades of hell.

Lost among lonesome trees
Whom conceal me so well
As I lose my self to someone else
Time can not catch me

Running through this forest
Of crippled bones and white leaves
Hands grab at the feet of haste
And passing this army of silence
Bursts of blows at my face
Here comes the legion of me

Air breather
Air dreamer
With empty craves
To constantly stare forward
Down into the belly of blight
Transcend toward
The eyes of a child’s tear
Past the tremble of lungs
And up the devil’s ear
Swallowed down into the gut
Of a solemn night’s drear
Here comes the force of feet

Clocks watches time
Dawning the termination
Of the crooked stop sign
Into Heaven’s curtain’s cape
Straight through my escape

Lost among vacant trees
Whom color me so well
As I immerse my self in someone else
Time can not catch me.

Run away child
As the world collapses
Beneath your stumbling gasps
Of ghastly daydreams
With one more chance
To pass the gulf of flight
Just one last glance
At the blinding moon light
While you laminate
Eliminate
Us
Our gleaming fight
Past the purple phase
Pass the green blockade
I will lay there
Laying
Waiting
Fading

Swaying
Pacing
Chasing
You

The beat of hearts
Never seemed possible
And yet, it
Never deemed unstoppable

Don’t you see?

I drown
Into the depths
Of you.

In the eyes of a mad man
Black darkness flows
A universe released within a glare
And captured by the static space
I drown in that vacant distance
As wisps of snow softly flutter 'round
White embraces me within its shield

I am the one lost soldier
Taken prisoner within

As streams of flurry delicately rush for me
Clinched within wind
My bones fall frail
Limp
The tips of my toes leave that long forgotten hell
And with my last gasp of time, I lift
Let go
I am set free of that long forgotten mutiny
Tears of heavens burn me
Blind me
And with my last squeeze of hope, I'm weightless
Air bound

Eyes close as soft breezes stroke my cheek
And thoughts no longer think

Frozen wind plunges into my lungs
My taut skin loosens
And I shed last winters attire
Bared naked to the bone
I shatter to the flurry that once carried me
And I can finally breathe.
