whistling lips
heart for a drum

ancient footfall
fire dancing

flute and violin
words to music.
I’ve seen how fast
A life can pass
Yet I’m too tired for life’s dance
Too worried about the egos
of the worlds cast
And too stressed to pick up the trash of my own little worlds past

a destroying heat

Noah's flood
firedevils

a thirst for water
a drowning sky.
Each and every day I find myself fleeing away.
I tried to ease the pain,
By hiding behind your memories.
And you remain inside the crack of my burned skin,
But these whispers keep eating me alive,
Why did she go?
The Ointment to my soul.

Your memories are shackles,
Tightening against my throat.
So come and free me from this suffering,
Or twist my neck,
Just the way you twisted our story.
Should I disappear?
Just the way you did,
I promise I'll be waiting,
Like a ghost in the breeze.

In my dream, we used to collide,
It was my happy ending.
But now you are drifting away,
Even inside my dream.
One final twist to release the rage,
Let silence flood and end this page
Drown me in the silence with no hope of you.
And bury me...

Should I let you flow from my wrist?
I built a world just for the two of us,
But you removed my existence from it.
Now without your embrace, the world feels cold,
As if this cold preserves my soulless flesh.

(This got flagged but the mods decided it was not inappropriate to post. Be aware it does have mild suicide themes , but its mostly about doing our best to continue on as best as we can when weΒ Β are grieving)

I'm re-posting it as a new poem as its an extremely personal piece of how I felt after my brother's passing & how it triggered my own guilt. It turns to anger as its part of the healing process)


I'm sick of being
the man I never was,
once upon a time
I could have been,
anything,
but closing my eyes,
the images gush thru
darken memory
I cannot rest.
I think sometimes,
it'll be best
to suicide.
I've tried
in the past
but I know,
I'll be reborn
back.
I will live on,
and past the fronts,
live in solitary
of humanity
in a darkened
and obsolete
old town.
I need
to be
anything
but
here.
I hate my venom,
it was building.
I need to let go...
A river flows,
so why can't I?
Live in solitary
left alone
in my thoughts
and relax
to nature.......
If I'm faced
to trial
why not
the maker?
I still can't
get those dark
of horrible
endless thoughts
to leave
as I
bathe
my sleeves.
Free will
is a disease.
