I’m trying so hard to maintain the flame But my candle continues to flicker. I’ve shielded it from the heaviest winds But the breezes of sameness assail it. I can’t see my way if it goes out completely With darkness now poised to swoop in. ljm
Sometimes the world seems Like it wants to Envelope In a different haze of purple Im drowning in this atmosphere Come get me Come get me Before I die Before I die
I could turn this into a song But my bones are too brittle They can’t Stand to mess this up Come get me Come get me Before I die Before I die
Where is utopia or disappointment in death? Or maybe the stretched-out black silence is death in hell when neither the devil sings to lead you to him, nor does God. a suicide, lying in the darkness at a crossroads.
In the morning, As I wake up , My bones creak, I grapple for my ears from the drawers, My teeth from a dainty cup, My eyes lying beside me, I grin and say I am blessed, I am still young at heart, Go baby go. 19/2/2025
