Arcassin B
By Arcassin Burnham

See the images for what it's worth
In spite of everything you've face in you life time,
Replace every broken past with a blue ribbon to
Signify that the rest of your days
Will be fine,
Kiss each of yours angels on the cheek
For the luck you'll receive, for all the
Fallen brothers and mothers,
Then history will repeat,
Just place and tie a blue ribbon,

Constantly thinking of the right motives,
Writing down the waves
Of the rivers
While sitting in the garden imaging a
Better life,  a better outcome,
A chance to look back on everything
And change it,
But things just don't work out like that,

blue ribbon.

Autumn Rose
The pale sun rays
were shining above me.
It was the
shadow to my light.
I felt as the
waves pulled me
in different directions
but i remained
on the surface.
When they hold me
i'm alive.
Eye to eye, so alive.
Find light in the
blue sea, i choose
to be happy.
These shallow waters
never were what
i needed.
I'm diving deeper.
Was it all in
my fantasy?
The eternal silence
of the sea, i'm breathing it.
I'm lying.
Was it only imaginary?
Another dream.
Palms rise to the
universe while i am
just one step ahead
to sink into the sea
of my long lost soul.
So lost, I'm fading.
The monsters are
running wild inside of me.
Sometimes i don't need
lack of air to feel
like i'm drowning.
If i lose myself, i lose it all.
And i was afraid of
the depth, i was afraid
of the unknown...

*She was a pearl lying on the bottom of the sea, so i desperately dived to reach her. But i forgot that i had to breath

you hit me and hurt me
and often mistook
my fear or my terror
for an insolent look

you shook me and broke me
straight down to my bones
you spit and you mocked me
'til I gave up hope

your words they could cut
just as bad as that book
that you threw at my face
while your dinner got cooked

but the day that I left you,
the cutting was mine
your voice on the phone
couldn't hold back your slime

i remember you screaming
i remember you crying
i remember your voice as
it changed on the line

you whined and demanded
the few things that i took;
you ended the chapter
*oh, but i burned the book.
leaving an abusive relationship was the most difficult thing i've ever done - but not a single day passes without gratitude that i had the courage to get out and move onto a much better, healthier, more beautiful life.

In summertime
her free spirit ran
with bare feet
through the sunflowers
with the wind in her hair,
listening to the
trees sway and creek.
At that moment she was...  unstoppable

I don't know why
you say these platitudes of goodness

Simply repeating the same thing
over and over
broken, scratching records
skipping needles
and hearts

You're not coming from a place of a pure soul and a beautiful spirit
I don't know what it is
if it's indifference,
jealousy, envy...
wishful thinking?

Well our boat is sinking
A perfect cliche
"say what you mean and mean what you say"
I can't do ambiguous

I hope you find peace with your demons
angry, gutteral enemies
dragging you to hell
at night
not kicking and screaming
you cannot find the light
from a place of selfish
egotistical narcissism and intentions to only help yourself
Good luck Chuck.

For which I lived I die and leave you this,
all I have is words, heart, and dust
in the grand scheme of things
I wish I wished for more
to leave you darling I hoped
had I did to be a  millionaire
or have great collections of silverware
and antique things
and all I got is
brute force words and
tarnished rings
sordid tales and dreams, which
I can't properly
bequeath to anyone
let alone a breathless
being

poems in the clouds
I don't remember the last time
I heard your voice
or the last time you spoke so
nice and softly to me
like you used to.
I listen to old voicemails
just to hear that voice again.
I don't know what form of torture you
would call that,
but it's like putting a drop
of water in the desert
making it long for more
but we all know water doesn't
belong in the desert.
you don't belong here
with me anymore.

Arcassin B
By Arcassin Burnham


I've been on the surface for too long enough to know that
God has never made Somebody with the same interests i like,
Giving me the wrong influenced girls that never met any
Of my expectations to even cope through the night,
Trust I had trouble sleepin'....
Don't even know the meanin'....
Of all these troubled feelins'....
Tugging and grabbing sheets like I had a way out!

And That's why I don't trust any female to give my heart to
Cause they might end up hurting me in any sort of expense,
In the mean time there's no strings attached to any of our body parts
But some of our body parts would get so intimate,
Lost control of my feathers...
Sick and tired of this weather....
Love don't get any better...
I can't control you , if you want theres your way out!

No girl will ever love me
No girl will ever love me....
