This undying reprimand
And ceaseless mourning
Forgetting to continue in measure
To keep these things at bay
With grace
To say more than enough
Handing floating remorse
Give sway
This night
Born from a lonely day
Pray
Like before
Stomaching passion
To never be whole again
Departing visions
Grasping your innocent defeat
Drowning such sweet melodies
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
Fist clenched
Arm torn
Head turned
The forest went dark
One or two moments
Your breath leads the way
Ghosts made present
Firework fog
Magnificent display
Tell me once more
What it was like
You held close for the beat
With my heart lead astray
Ashes near the ground
Wondering what became of her
To stop them
In a panic
So sacred
We will meet beneath the lights again
And I'll turn for you
Do anything to understand
This soiled mind
**** your pure intentions
Take everyone alone
Somewhere along
Better chance
But willingly terrified
I lay down
Music bursting through the seams
Smoke near the shadow of your face
The lights illuminated
One last time
Never leave
Let me be what I want
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
I have a rage inside me that cannot be measured
And a love inside me that is unfathomable
If I cannot indulge in one
I will fall into the other
Endlessly
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
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
