Mercury Slo Jan 2013
Shriveled.
I
  am
  wasting
  away.
  
Drained
  and
  twisted,
  
I
He
  never
  stops
  
Drinking,
  *******,
  slurping.
  
His
I
  cannot
  break
  
  
From
  his
  chains.
  

  
I
  choke.
  

  
I
  cough.
  

  
My
  last
  breath
  
Splutters
  free.

You smell like bad coffee
When you wake up in the evening
To brush your hair

My blood is in your hands
Your blood's on my eyes
To live inside your hating guts

She was too attractive
So we just got over it
And stabbed each other blind

Let your heart seep
Through the nails in your arms
And carry me
Mercury Slo Oct 2012
Within the silence of the Earth
My sleep is suddenly, relentlessly *****
By the squawking of a newborn hammer

I arise to look into my eyes of scorn
My life's reflection sees ahead of me

If I could but read its mind
I would know this person
Staring through my soul
Mercury Slo Oct 2012
I grieve too far
As you give what's left
The Earth crunches
Beneath the gracious falls
Of clouds to the ground
As I melancholiously wipe
The eyes of the Sun
In me it resides
In power we collide
Behind the wailing sounds
Of the water that gives
Us light
In flames we glow
A bright depth in our eyes
From which the trees
Spring forth
It guides us
Laughing as we grow cold.
Mercury Slo Oct 2012
Tending the flames
A lonesome wolf
Rises to decay
He speaks of loss
A dead moon
In his way

The ecstasy
The ecstasy only you know

The only life you have
Take it
Dwell in it
Let it consume
Wooden metaphors
You are infected
It spreads like

The ecstasy
The ecstasy only you know

Save it for the ones
Who live to execute
Give them this
Let self-love sweep
The floors of

The ecstasy
The ecstasy only you know
Mercury Slo Oct 2012
Flowing grace
Greedy love
Too many eyes
On the horizon of the mind
A gray horse
The emperor
Of a sea of moons
Glowing mountains
Grieving slowly
The death
Of a flower
The birth
Of ashes
The fish cry their dreams
To golden hearts
