We are elaborate animals made of wood
earth, flowing like water into the veins
of the sky.

The sun being a fist of lava, and the night
being an enticing molar—we are
a succession of tides, being swallowed
by successions of day; and how beautifully
we wilt in the presence of joy.

The moon may be nothing
but a luminous
stone

and to eat the poetry of it
is how one chokes
on love

but the romance of morning
is that if by midnight
you are alive, that is joy.
you carry the night, merge into me
like a song of the sea,

dark night of song,
budding like an early rose,

my heart strums its
favourite chords,
dreams of your love,

when i was dark and alone
you found me,
mending me, loving me.
It's the first time I've ever
bought you flowers;
I only realise this
when I'm minutes away
from your funeral.

JaxSpade
Clumps of gases
Congregated in gravity
A nuclear fusion reaction
Began a stars activity

Shining
18 million degrees
Fahrenheit

Glows
A molecular cloud of nebulae


A Cepheid is born
Pulsating a RR Lyrae

As a candle
For the Lords eyes
Shining brightly

Hydrogen & helium
Beam a light within

For the purpose of a man
Who calculates constellations

To try and understand

                     Where he is

Poem-Without you

Heart shattered
Brain smattered
Insides drowned in fear
Can’t breathe
Won’t believe
Can not persevere

Insides raw
I’m too flawed
A waste of space in time
Devil waiting
Instigating
I will surely die

Nails exposed
Comatosed
Blinded by the light
Breath drowning
Soul frowning
Can not find the fight

Dreams dark
Torn out heart
Can not find my breath
Veins thick
Stomach sick
Dreaming of my death
