As the sun rises
my crusted eyelids
will break
and my chapped lips
will part,
my rested mind
will open
and you will still linger
on my mouth
The stars are lonely
on the edges of the universe-
I am not alone,
yet further away.

this will

this will make a difference
this will make a worldly difference
and in this

this is what will make this
earth shake
quiver and break the surface
this will-

this will make peaks and plains
this will make valleys and run rivers
like veins as tributaries
this will-

this will flood the brain with
rushing gushing thoughts
this will be touching spots of
grey matter and places we thought
never mattered
this will-

this will make a difference
this will make all the difference
and leave footprints where the sand won't wash away the imprints brought on by the tides
this will-

this will,
this will change lives.
a sprinkling of clouds
have appeared in the sky
we hope they yield rain

Insanity

Lyla
Venturing into the heart of insanity,
(my mind)
I fear that i will lose myself.
I hear the blood rushing in my head
(Will it ever drown me?)
As its the only sound i hear apart from myself.
Alone with my thoughts,
(Wish me well..)
Maybe this is what i want.
Insanity. Chaos. Something.
I can see your shadow coming closer in the dark
Growing like a tumor while I slowly fall apart
Nothing like a moment to remind you that you're weak
Grazing on the bits of truth you never fought to keep
Yet somewhere underneath the skin of what you have become
There exist the rudiments of silences to drum
But how do you identify a peace you cannot see
And put your trust in every part invisible to me
I am not the one who claimed your body as my own
So I will sit here ripping all the stitches we have sewn
And as the holes expose themselves the light begins to dance
Gradually consuming, letting go of what I can't
