Dear Reader,

Run.
Run as fast as you can.
Run till you feel like you'll fall off the face of the Earth.
But,
By now you should have learned that you'll never escape me.

Yours Truly,
*The Past~

A Poet or Not?

Would I
still be
a poet
if none
of my
works
are read?
are my works being read or are they being placed like dust specks in little corners of untrodded

matt nobrains
in the height and heather
warmly brushing against
make and muddle
omens speak unerringly
in the voices
between mind and nobody.
lost in the sense of death hand
or forgotten in sensing of collapsed
landscape
burning blindness dots horizons
scan sharp
charged into faithless
trampled wordless
left behind and struck
upon else and whether
when little is borne
upon tangential lines.
a hundred brands
of pillow soft
toilet paper spread evenly
across tobacco leaves
like decorative mantras
on the scarred face of christ.
bliss is upon those who can
give up quietly

You are nothing more than a snapshot
in time-
A memory that will one day be forgotten
All of you that will remain on this precious Earth
is what you choose to leave behind
And what you decide to be discovered,
So stain the walls of this city with your
shadows
And empty your soul upon the places
that are already taken
Spill your compassion and heart all over
this empty place and illuminate it
with the image of your essence
Be one with this world- give it everything
you've got
And one day, my darling, this world will gladly
return the favor

I'll try find a home
And forgive all in a poem
We'll see where it lands
Put it up to fate
I hope we aren't too late
With all the plans we had
The grounds much harder, oh
We're used to clouds, oh no
Well, if it's important to you

If I drink all summer long
And write my story in a song
Then would that help me land
If I follow my own path
Then I can't go wrong
That's what the teacher said

The grounds much harder, oh
We're used to clouds, oh no
Well, if it's important to you
Then it's important to we
You tried to help me see
But I don't want to know
But I guess I have to grow

Now, where can we let emotions land?
What became of the plans we had?

Why are we not together?

Why are we not together?
I guess outsiders know

Forgive my wording of this poem
See I'm too far from a home
Where all emotions land
I brought all the ones
That create melancholy songs
They paint the dreams we had
The grounds much harder, oh
We're used to clouds, oh no
Well, if it's important to you

Oh what became of the dream we had?
What became of where we thought we'd land?

Why are we not together?
Why are we not together?
I guess outsiders know

It's all gone to ****.
The morning brings my thoughts to this.
Wildly imagining other sides of the dark,
spiraling into a cold and broken heart.

I never meant to be here again
searching.
I have no destination,
just anywhere but here
in this abandoned station
where dreams have fled
and I am the definition of lost patience.

Diamonds

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Right.

Cut like diamonds
Slit
Grind like diamonds
Smack
Take like diamonds
Rush

Driving in like a hammer
Your pick into my skull
Jaw split, Achilles rip
Fall to the ground
Then you are crowned

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

My blood is racing.
Dancing hot and lacing
Drugs with love and then facing
What it means to be
A diamond.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

With each deed
I die
With each bite
I lie
With each breath
I fly.

Why are diamonds a girl's best friend?
What do I want to be? Not a diamond.
