howl my name to this yellow witching hour moon
run with me through this enchanted snow ridden forest
we can run with the pack
and go off to explore the many wonders
of this enriched ******* white ground
bury a few bones, catch a deer or two, together.
Creatures of the wind
swift, like a spensarian sonnet
harsh, like the rough seas
cold, as my beating heart
beautiful, as the eyes that stare back into mine
with nothing but instinct and desire behind them

You
One day I'm going to slit my throat in a beautiful burst of rebellion and commitment to eternal solitude. And in my last, blood choked breaths, I'm going to condemn myself to Hell and ridicule this dystopian legacy I was introduced to called love. I hope you understand. I'm just starting to realize that each and every one of us are alone. And I don't want to be alone. I've been alone long enough. That's why I searched for you. You, my focus, my chief goal, my everything. You saved me from my most feared demon, myself. You brought me out of this pit of Tartarus and into a grand epitome of ecstasy and emotion. All of that emotion turned towards you. And now this. It's safe to say, I'm in cursed love with you. In. I'm in love with you. Everything I do is in hopeful remembrance of you. And without you this curse is going to consume me into oblivion. Yet, without you, oblivion is most certainly my paradise.
Honestly don't know what this was. To hell with it.

Smoke

I walk this lonely road
But it the only one I've ever  known
I try to hide the pain behind a smoke
I'll light this cigaret
and hide all my worries behind it
I walk this road alone by choice
I hide behind my smokes and my ****
I hide behind the things you wouldn't expect of me
I'll walk this road alone it's my choice
This way I don't get hurt
I'll just keep walking
And making the choices you wouldn't expect

You say that
everything I do is wrong.
                                                  
You tell me that
no one loves me.

You reiterate that
I will end up alone.

You remind me that
I am worthless.

You make me think that
I am not good at anything.

But

You were supposed to be the one to tell me that
I am special.

You were supposed to
love me unconditionally.

That was supposed to be your job,
but you failed.

YOU
**are the failure.

Dressing

I wake up in the morning
And slip on a pair of boots
But I realise apart from this
I am naked
So I dress and undress and dress again
But now I’m wearing no boots
So I think and I dress again
But no I have no voice
So I undress and pace and dress
But now I am the opposite ***;
Now a dog; a cat; a door

(this is all very complicated and confusing
Let me assure you that.)

So I try again
But these are childs clothes
Now there are no clothes

So I return to bed where I am ****.

surrounding forlorn sun-cursed flora
pulled by the teary eyed sky;
stars tantalizing them from on high
  with promises of a heavenly aura.

never satisfied with their strata,
always pushing against their time
until the death-bell for them chimes
  and they wither to kernels of data.

encouraging drops sent to their aid
from their lake and river neighbors;
within the dirt, they do their labor
  and at their end, to the dirt they fade.

we are but flowers in a grassy field,
reaching for the suns radiant hand, and
like the flowers strewn in "our" lonely land
   to the omnipotent dirt we shall always yield.

The moon faintly lights
Behind these midnight stars
The luminescent glow
Concealing my scars

But not those on the body
Though I've got many of those
But I'm talking of beneath my skin
The ones not hidden by my clothes

In the sunlight when I'm open
When the moonlight cannot hide me
A broken heart and wounds alike
Are displayed for you to see

At night when the sun is gone
And the stars come out to play
When your head you rest upon a pillow
Is when I begin my day
