Perfection echoes to the world
As you bring razors to your wrists
Your friends all think you are insane
But they don't know your hidden twists.

They've never seen you sprint or scream
To find refuge from what is real
They've never heard you slam the doors
While blood flows out to let you feel.

They'll never feel the blade's sweet kiss
A feeling you now crave from madness
They'll never see your sweet relief
When ecstasy can cute your sadness.

They'll watch you slipping day by day
And won't attempt to interfere
When l this is a plea for help
And all you want is them to hear.
Trigger warning.
It's off this madness that we feed
Our thirst quenched only by desire
Today we'll let the carnage bleed
While we twirl downward towards the fire.

It burns society with ease
As people scurry all around it
A faceless mob eager to please
A shallow pool to **** the numbness.

She passes through the crowd alone
She doesn't stop to hear the whining
She doesn't want to hear them deond
On about life and love and dying.

All she can see is through the fire
A man so desperate for her touch
So dying just for her desire
A simple glance would be too much.
So I was standing knee deep in a river's stream.
What a beautiful day it's every fisherman's dream.
I cast my line out and let the current work.
And every now and then I'd give my pole a ****.

Suddenly I heard the snapping sound of a stick.
I dropped a load in my pants that felt like a brick.
And there standing not more than 50 yards away.
But a grizzly bear in the sparkling sun of May.

I slowly start to back up planning a retreat.
The last thing I want is to be a midday treat.
Well I moved too fast and splashed in the water.
It certainly appeared I'd be this hungry bear's fodder.

So I hit dry ground and climbed the nearest tree.
I thought to myself, Aha, he'll never find me.
Little did I know a bear's prowess for climbing.
Yes that whimpering sound you hear is me whining.

As the bear got closer I thought of my demise.
I planned to be strong despite my painful cries.
I could hear his growling and his teeth were sharp.
My head started swooning and I heard an angel's harp.

But at the last moment the bear heard a sweet sound
And this caused him to **** his head around.
What could be more interesting than some living meat?
Well a gorgeous female bear in the throes of heat.

He quickly rappelled down that tree in great haste.
It's not often that a bear will let a meal go to waste.
As the couple sauntered off I saw him turn his head.
That look said any other day and you'd be dead.

Why is it that everyone leaves me?

Everyone quitting on me
Really makes me want to quit on myself...

"You can't rely on anyone else,
Because even your shadow abandons you in dark times."

are already dead

the ultimate.
all and nothing simultaneously.
your pupils dilate when you see
her lovely figure on the inside of your skull.
she tantalizes your mind in the night.
with the little nibbles of her peace,
that serenade your transcendent taste buds.
those insomniacs who died a little within
wear it upon their skin as an
upside down flag and wait for her
calming breath on the back
of their goose pimpled necks.
when you breathe your final plea for her,
she comes to collect
that which she owns.
that's why we wear her
at funerals as a reminder
of the soul magpie
and the warbler who sings us
melodious songs of infinite tranquility.

innovation: creation in destruction
matter cannot be created or destroyed,
and neither can art.
unity in paradox
we are
            passing thoughts sauntering in the winds of mortality
            drunken stupors, with eyes blurred, stumbling in a beautiful world
            famished spirits, consuming our own radiance
            fools caught up in our fabricated wisdom
            skeletal souls reaching for the sun's hand, while being consumed meticulously by the dirt
the reason i write--
to let you climb on my back
and maybe reach further than before;
pain is a part of life,
don't disregard it;
i have hope.
let us be free
in love;
do not search out pain,
do not search out pleasure,
do not search.
let us saunter as friends,
let us lie down and sing,
let us be passionate about beauty.
my hope for all of you
is that you will be the
heart
in this heartless world.
find glory in love.
find art in love.
find peace in love.
be love.
Diaphanous curtains hang keeping us separate
I see you and yet you are so far away
All I can do is scream helplessly, save me
and then, trembling wait, hoping that you will stay

And you must be laughing out there in the crowd
Your mind cannot bother you there in the distance
You're trying to fight hoping that it will pass
Until you come knocking again in your trance

It's terrible wanting that which you can't have
And yet at the same time the feeling is marvelous
The waiting and hesitant touches and glances
And then in our carelessness we just forget

Your kisses and touches are not searching pleasure
Your fingers so naturally lace between mine
And then in the morning it fades like a lost dream
For days, weeks on end, we pretend that it's fine

Why did we get lucky enough to enjoy this
When it is clear we will have to move on
Because we both know that this twirling euphoria
Is something that cant possibly last very  long
I thought is could forget your smile
That I could breathe without your touch
But now that it has been a while
I see that I expect too much

We were never two separate souls
We were two bodies with one heart
But you could live with those huge holes
That nearly tore my life apart

I miss you every day, but nights,
I cannot sleep I turn and cry
It's so hard to turn out the lights
Knowing you are no longer mine

And even though I know I tried
It's hurts to think of you and him
After I held you when you cried
For him to touch even a limb

And every day l still sit back
And am reminded by the night
How much without you I must lack
Because it hurts too much to fight.
