I have let human beings become my ruin.

I want to know—
What only lips can know,
I want to see—
What only Falcons vision,
When they stoop from the heavens,
I want to preen and lord—
As only Jaguars can, regal,
In the tangles of purple jungle sun,
I will climb these ancient steps
Holy and of forbidden stone,
If only, you would
Surrender,
Love.

Birds rush and are busy
Breaking the days, laden
Twigs have broken, landed,
White clouds sail in breeze,
Sun has spilt, over gleamed
Gold on crest fallen, blue mountain,
Leaves lay with browned, under
Grown green matted grasses—
Whispers of spring.

I am not a denominator of original sin,
some remnant or aftermath of fallen grace.
Indeed, I am hardly human at all.

I live in the spaces between breath and mist,
where gravity dares suspend its hold
and all matter slips away until nothing matters.

I pour drinks so I can afford to drink.
It pays my way towards the dead-end
now occluding the avenue that used to stretch

beyond it.

I am not a believer in disorganised action.
Each moment spent in self-destruction
was thoughtfully done to bring about art and demise.

I live in the moment between charm quark and decay,
where gravity falls to weakness
and all that matters slips into temperance.

I eat only to satisfy appetite.
It tastes of nothing but the dead-ends
that now occlude the avenue that used to stretch

far beyond me.

Rolling deuces
Bold excuses
Felt the truth
Wrapped in bruises
Round the heart
A day apart
Between what’s seen
And where we are
Cope with me
I hope they stay
Told the pain
Now washed away
Let the rain
Save the day
Lost, forgotten
Thoughts remain -

This routine,
Swallowing us whole
Both of us tangled within
It's the same rotating circle
Words are just said
To keep peace in between turns
We're looking for other incentives
To keep insanity at bay

You don't seem to understand
The pain you are causing to your
baby and I.
We have not disappeared,
We are still here.

It seems like it's easy for you to
Ignore us, to hurt us;
Like the past 6 years with me
Were nothing, just gone, thrown.

You clearly understand how we go
to bed at night, Pillow soaked in tears and puffy red eyes, still we are brushed to the side like we don't matter and it's a stab to my heart.

I'm clearly the fool, I fell inlove with you, were you even in love too?
I gave you my heart and all that I am,
I gave you my life and all of my time.

Now I'm just slowly breaking into tiny little pieces, a pain I have never felt before.
I'd like to be happy and fake a smile but how can I when I'm so torn.

I gave you my heart and you just tore it apart.

Is it the fierce beating in your chest?
Or is it fear chasing after you?
Tick   tock
Is it the clock keeping time?
Or is it a reminder of what you're missing?
Boom   boom
Is it the pounding in your head?
Or is it the shots fired at you from behind?
What will you choose
When faced with two choices?
Will you take the easy way out?
Or will you take the chance and face the fear of the unknown?
