I closed the book,
         paused the story
Looked around,
          room so boring
Closed my eyes,
           pretended hard

Floating away on diamond stars

e.s.

•
Reflections reveal nought truth
I see the ocean like my mind
I feel the sand in between my thoughts
Creatures fill this body of water
Growing, changing, and some mutating
It is a lonely world for the quiet man
•
e.s.

•
Lust is sweet like sugar,
Has you on your knees
She will rot your teeth
That sweet candy queen.
•
e.s.

•

Anger is that tingle, which leaps inside the womb

When one disturbs its sleep, it burns a fiery fume

The gut is soaked in butane, ready for a match

Please don’t hand me flowers, I may just turn them black

•

e.s.

Restlessly looking
Weakened muscles
Times turning
Actions subtle

Speak, I whisper
Mouth is hollow
Empty lips
Spit swallowed

Chained down
Heart stopped
Room bleak
Mind caught

I love you
Screams echo
Bounce off walls
Only inside
Tongue is tied
Knotted, well
The words hurt
As they swell

Again. I love you.

Again. Nothing.

Speak I demand!
I love you, whispered
Now!
I love you.
Outloud! Speak! Use your tongue!
I love you.
Tears stream down
Silence,
A terrible silence
Billows around

I love you

Unbroken silence,
Across the sky.

I love you.

E.S.

All your beauty
Washed away
With tears
All your laughter
Scrapped way
A blade
Every moment
Contaminated
What was
Ever thought
Washed up into
His wandering eyes
Splashing water
His unsure smile
Powdered detergant
Broad shoulders
Like fresh linen
Soaked in bleach

E.s.

A twisted joy pains me
Knotted inside my chest
My heart tugs, then relaxes
Then all is silent, all muscles at rest

The loneliness filling inside
Pulls me across the dusty floor
Down into the basement
Slithering with rats

I reach into torn flesh
Dissecting veins from the rest
Blood stains translucent hands

Slithering in and about
A serpent chews his way
Inside this hole of a chest
Sewing his being
Into something unable to reset

If I keep him, will he eat me whole
Taking my heart, to go
I do not care too much for games
He started before I had any chance to say

You mad, mad serpent
Do what  you will
For I lack the will
To do anything at all.
