Head hung, Heart hummed

Black tidal waves encompassed by the wall of lipstick,

releasing steam becoming inhaled from the mouth that sleeps.

Black curvatures sped along the ghostly lines to ease the tick,

relapsing legs touching to the web that weeps.

 

No winged-beast, no unpredictable mind,

to lullaby the creator of both the invisible and the translucent.

Slowly suffocated to the echo of the riled up rhyme,

slowly spitting out the guts of red paint.

 

Freedom flown, fists formed,

molding white pieces into scattered clouds.

Head hung, heart hummed,

wailing teary notes into ripped wedding gowns.

 

Cycle of the eaten, and the uneaten,

all must gallantly fall; however births ripples.

Sanctions of the needed, and the unneeded,

all must dauntingly call; however pictures simple.
