I cannot
not compute,
this beauty, it's all around you,
as it can only exist in you,

surrounded in your shades,
your observation unto its grace,

this world,
you make,
real.

It's why I'll make,
you,

looking to your lines, your curves,
defining you by sight, tracing starlight,
then eyes, that shine unto mine,

as life becomes life's
worth living.

The heavens we can trace,
with but a glance to the place,
where by chance we will paint,
on the same lines of a space,
occupied by a fate,
between the times,
that we made,
and bang,

the endtroduction.

But faster, and fast-err, or,
can't not, not, compute,
bigger, better, more, and more,

the fabric,
it dilutes,
torn,

pouring from a door,
on another side,
doing just fine,

looking
no further

than the sky.

Depression is thick, black ink seeping throughout a beautiful mind and tinting every thought, step or thing that slips through. The control clasps hold of every ***** and every moment of your life, crushing your bones whilst their arms becomes your only comfort.

Your body comes heavy with exhaustion and every moment becomes a dusty haze, thoughts distant from the world around. You would give every breath to live a life of happiness and the beauty of the imaginary world entices you in and becomes your escape through your broken mind. The prettiness and delicacy clouds the loneliness and search for escape, mixed up and confused thoughts, flitting from self hatred and absorption to obsession for perfection. Your thoughts, black and murky destroy you, and then  you realise, you're alone.

Pastel sighs
Dreaming of Bambi thighs
and intertwined lovers
under tea stained covers
Star filled wishes
of sweetened kisses
with ink mapped plans
on constellated hands

Pastel sighs
all alone in broken cries
The crow looks like black hanging rag
The trees blurred blotch of green
Trunks furcating like horns of stag
The sky is shorn of sheen!

The road in haze is dazed in dust
Crossing seems out of bound
Eyes from birth hold distrust
Under feet is slipping ground!

Cars loud honk speeding by
How far is the other side
Though it looked close and nigh
Now seems hands need a guide!

Faces of men look only half done
The letters on the board gone pale
Walking it seems is no longer fun
All sights are without head or tail!

In strangeness appears familiarity
Might fall and break my neck
Ghost like looms a known city
Left behind at home my specs!
it happened today.
on the ripples our shadows
the river flows on
this moment they are here
next tide they're gone!
aren't we passing shadows?
