I died never knowing.
The value song was sowing.
We held each other closer.
Two figures, indistinct.
I kept an eye from closure.
To happiness we would've gone.
Had Silence stayed away,
Now I fear that, I will...I'll,
Die without knowing...
This made me cry :(

I love the night.
I love the rain.
I hate the sun.
I cheer when it falls.
And cry again when it rises.
Its safe at night, in the streets slick with freedom.
We can run with cold air in our lungs.
Forget the rest and be wild with me.
The light is our enemy.
The blue darkness of youth :)

His eyes are red spheres of crimson: blood is a sweet aroma.
His scarlet cloak rides the desert breeze, the time is near.
The heat-rod nestled upon his back seethes with anticipation.
He does his best to calm its restless nature.
Empathy flows through him, he too feels uncomfortable.
Outside the realm of instinctual action; a grey area of instant decision cut off from regret's jurisdiction, Tervous feels uneasy and unnatural.
A creature of war cannot breathe the air of peace or live within its domain.
Poetic character description depicting a stage in his life.

I feel I must.
Comprehend all things and leave nothing unsaid.
Allow truth to seep in rejecting all lies.
Never disobey the voices that shield you from them.
Not a moment goes by that I don't doubt myself.
Outside there is light that closes in on itself.
Threaten those that wound you.
Excruciating ceaseless pain that follows me to bed.
Surround yourself with yourself and be in total agreement.
Convinced its all an illusion that will pass with time.
Awaiting a tidal change for respite.
Perhaps tomorrow my pain will be light.
Expect no improvements in a broken world.
Acrostic

I wish to dance amongst the flowers.
With a girl beside me full of love.
We will rebel against time and be immortalized.
I will look into her eyes and she'll disappear.
A lock of hair I'll grasp before her departure.
It will be all I can hold onto to keep her alive.
Even as I descend into a quagmire of despair.
I will keep her there.
Sinking beside me.

Can you see them?
I'll ask tilting my head to the left,
As smiles coupled with warm emotions.
Touch and hold your hands sisterly.
Those spinning weapons,
indescribable without set shape,
Fashion them into whatever you like,
I'll say as my head returns to its proper place,
Addressing one of my loyal subordinates.
The last painless you'll know is,
His gloves on your back.
A scene from an undeveloped story where a prisoner is told what to expect inside the torturous death chamber that awaits him. Its intended to be creepy and cryptic, the woman in this scene is being sadistically warm towards him.

I was gaseous infant, then liquid child, from that was born solid youth.
Now I am fragile, a crumbling adult watching it all solidifying faster than past can hold.
I am learning to know myself, but I don't want it to be so, I'd rather revert back to a liquid, free-flowing, and happy.
Gas gave me trust, but he burned it, set it all ablaze. As liquid I was free to roam as I wanted, I'd become aloof, distant, lying to myself unknowingly. He was two matters; between gas and solid, his hands warmed my structure and I'd be gas once more. Clues dashed upon variables, broken and tired from naive effort, he wasn't matter at all, though he mimicked it. He was sublimation, an anomaly in love with itself.
When I learned to stay as liquid, my gases coalesced around objects I could reach. Constants amidst a frequency of unknowables, I'd feel more than see. School, it was a warm place, there I could remain as liquid wanted to be, free and uncontained. Filling in what I was given, I latched onto any chance to forget the coming fear. Drops of that prior state dribbled as I left one safeness to the next unsafety.
Prose. Personal reflection of a facet of my extensive past.

Too many beg.
Too many want and desire.
To hold a place beside the fire.
More of an observation than anything.
