Our vessels
Fleeting
Naked
Conceptual exit
Bleached impermanence
Change in warmth
Back inside now
Aspiring
Our gaze
Breaking repose
Rhythmic
Bold
Throat collapse
Acidic and electric
Fixation and rapture
Swollen dust
A moment gone
Days late
Lacking demise
Flooded with broken failures
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
Your words cast spells on my frame
As we took a cue from nature
And once again
You've stolen the skin from my bones
But it seems I am feeling well
I hope you can believe that
The castle has slipped into the sea today
Then the news came in
Golden days blossom here
Completing my heart
There will be nothing left to salvage
Save your emerald eyes
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
Your heart understood mine
Peaking through the chain links
Seen flying above
Coursed through parchment
In these fine lines of our DNA
And how she cried for you
As smoke billowed in July air
With these rooms of the house
Yours seemed invisible
But you perceive this distance
In smiling eyes
And smudged windows
Blessings sent
In a whisper
Or a tear
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
Images emerge
This scarred
Twisted
Fallen vision
Remove
Send out the signal
A rebirth
Day to day
Our life and death
Fissioned from the lonely soil
Of a few weeks ago
We just got by
Favored towards forgiveness
Caged love by night
Rhet Toombs May 2015
By this
I know
You'll never say you're wrong
Rhet Toombs May 2015
Leave both parties behind
Fear of memories fractured
As underneath I let you sleep
These small words
Used as hopeful bricks
For loving structures
You're my only angel
These secrets of your deepest well
Flowing purity from beyond
So cruelly
I pulled you from the wreckage
Steered from broken lovers
Diminishing light
This heart now boils over
Perished systems renewed
Until decay
And a belief
Of trust
In the highest plateau
Pray
Sleep
Please
Never leave
Your voice is the echo
Of machines
Hammering the iron of my heart
Back into place
Rhet Toombs May 2015
All this time with sails crumbled
Scared
Matriculated
Longing for the shores once more
A rustic room
Or a promise
Four times removed
And replaced
With infectious imagery
No
It cannot be
Between the silence
There lies a message
Please
Don't let go
These cotton sheets
They tell of a true legacy
To memorize a taste of strength
I've searched too far
Lunar sighs
Or a deliberated throb
Purity in nature
Strings attached with missing pieces
Is all I ask
