Beauty and the Darkness Waning

Today-
Reminded me of the beautiful china
In my grandmother's house
Strong, shiny, beautiful
Worth a lot
But even the best observer
Couldn't see the chips in the glassware
The many times the china had been dropped
No one could actually tell that it was broken
But I could tell.
Because even though sometimes I looked
Strong, shiny, and beautiful,
I was broken as well.

"Lotus Flower With Shrums"

By Arcassin Burnham

in the night time,
Until I align in the night time,
They'll never be another life time,
Where me and you once had,
But I come alive in the night time,
Its never completely staged in the
Night time,
Days where I would spend all of
My time,
With you,
No other pleasure could match,
Until I change in the night time,
Until I make a mends in the night time,
And every single day the light will pass,
Nothing ever last,
But the flowers in my garden do,
I see stars,
Is this kidding to you.

"Your Name"

By Arcassin Burnham

Riverside,
Never made me feel as good as her,
Suicide was on my mind,
When I met her,
But that was ages ago,
I never took it slow,
But I never took it fast either,
If she was still there,
I would treat her,
With all sorts of respect , and love , and kindness,
More than the lies you'll feed her,
I praise her name.

I do...,

Hello underground

Hello underground. Hello to all of your shadows. I meet with the dimming light here at midnight. Hello small cracks in the wall. I peak through at you. See what is really true. Hello dust devils. Silence swept you away. My recollections are all I have to say. Hello leftovers. Time to eat my yesterdays. And start cooking what tomorrows say. Hello milky skin. Pale as moon and taste like love. Its what has always been all of the above. Hello underground. Goodbye to all of your shadows. I leave the dimming light at noon. Just a visit is all it was and ill be back soon.

Look but don't touch..

beth fwoah dream

shadows on the water...

shadows on the water,
locks of hair in pendants,
love still remembered
though the tide is now
withered like summer grass.

"Be Alone"

By Arcassin Burnham

I Am the thing that dwells through your
Eyes,
Telling you sweet things
To keep your spirits up,
To help you be strong,
I Am your consciousness making you run
Arons into the dark corners,
A causable fling,
With two celebrated sports cups,
Hoping you'd get along,
Take care of yourself,
Be good to yourself,
Be alone with yourself.

Roger Turner - Poet

empty promises

I woke up feeling morning pain
Another barroom brawl
I didn't make my bed last night
I slept out in the hall

I made it to the correct floor
I just couldn't find my keys
I can't keep living life like this
Can someone help me please?

I'm sick of empty promises
Every bottle seems to be
An enigma in a riddle
And they all keep calling me
I'm sick of empty promises
And of bottles holding dreams
My life's an Escher painting,
So, it seems

Different bars, the same result
I always wake up ******
Sunday Morning Sunshine hurts
and I'm always here alone

I am tired of the drinking
Of the searching, of the fight
But, I end up every morning
Still feeling like last night

I'm sick of empty promises
Every bottle seems to be
An enigma in a riddle
And they all keep calling me
I'm sick of empty promises
And of bottles holding dreams
My life's an Escher painting,
So, it seems

I wake up in dark back alleys
And if I make it home at all
I end up in the stairway
Sleeping, curled up in a ball

I'm not looking for redemption
Just a way to stop the sounds
Of the bottled empty promises
Before I'm in the ground

I'm sick of empty promises
Every bottle seems to be
An enigma in a riddle
And they all keep calling me
I'm sick of empty promises
And of bottles holding dreams
My life's an Escher painting,
So, it seems

"Wilderness"

By Arcassin Burnham

Mother nature would be pleased
At the way we cut her trees,

Fascinated with the way
We bring machines to her domain,
That's a shame,
We bring her to shame,
Leaving her in pain,
Why do you do that?

You can't survive in the wilderness alone anyway,
if you want some shelter tonight ,I'd advise you stay,
You can't survive in the wilderness alone anyway,
people don't wanna die alone nowadays,

Sometimes we can't replace
All the things we take away,

Replacing nerves but
Can't take away the pain,
Must be a game ,
To you,
Maybe to gain fame,
Making love ones feel the strain,
Why do you do that?

You can't survive in the wilderness alone anyway,
if you want some shelter tonight ,I'd advise you stay,
You can't survive in the wilderness alone anyway,
people don't wanna die alone nowadays.

"Change It Up"

By Arcassin Burnham

Cleaning out the gutters of my mind,
Don't wanna be cornered,
I'm just thinking you keep wasting more time,
If anyone is considered,
Judging me if I ever get out line,
But I just rendered,
I am not anyone's guinea pig!
Putting me in positions I can't handle,
You're a mess,
These tests and my background dismantled,
A hell of a quest,
Couple blocks down near Rockwell's,
Your at your best,
Never had secrets I had to tell,
Never had them on my chest,
I am not anyone's guinea pig!
Kept wondering what was next,
Writer's block left me stuck,
Remember when I use to have threats from my ex,
And I just had to give her up,
Hickies all over my neck,
I'm just feeling so corrupt,
And even when your at your best,
And you just wanna change it up,
You're not anyone's guinea pig!

What's Next mEP

"Magic , Madness , Heaven , Sin"

By Arcassin Burnham

I lay medallions on your heart love,
Even in your dreams are the witch club,
Like the craft,
You're the one I can perform on,
No better time than tonight,
Especially when there's nothing wrong,

I,
Can,
Be,
Your savior when your world is gone,
Every useless brick by brick,
We'll rebuild a new love song,

∆I want your magic,
I love you madness like Alice,
The *** is heaven,
Let's get buried in our sins,
Tonight!!!!!!!!!!
Alright!!!!!!!!!!
Just let it happen,
In a nice timely fashion,
We count to seven,
Then the Adventure Begins,
Tonight!!!!!!!!!!
Alright!!!!!!!!!!!∆

I lay medallions on your heart love.

Your savior when your world is gone.

Elements.
