Rhet Toombs Jul 2015
The ground quietly settles
In search for a final lover
Innocent strength forming freedom
Rendering gleaming muscles useless
Pricing a broken smile
Beholding a discarded identity
A prayer with cancelled meaning
Glimpse these trembling signs
When they awake to drown indifference
Commit this confusion
Losing my souls inheritance
Hollowed demands
With healing desperation
Consume my sworn efforts
As we fuel a reborn process
And collapse with tangible wounds
She wept with haunting surrender
I mourned a dangerous solace
Rhet Toombs Jul 2015
It's all over now
Lovely but forgotten
Showing less each time
Bathing unspoken insecurities
Envisioning whispered structures
Not bereft of your distant existence
Birthed features fading again
Useless rhythm keeping time
Trapped completely
Stripped of a promised exit
The start of your electric identity
Savage instruments underneath
I collapsed with convicted acceptance
An evening with dissolved delicacy
Dozing on your eternal shoulders
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
By the time these eyes grow quiet
They will speak of her concrete lungs
Mistaken sickness
Crumbling forgiveness as we mourn the struggle
Sonnets of such desperation
Pillars of passion melted to liquid silk
Devoured by precious creation
Fathom these damaged voids
With a jagged prose
Hungering breaths
Foolish
Monstrous
Kidnapped composure
Restless with trembling intention
Collected to a stillborn resonance
Discarded with shadowed reform
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
The hollow course our love ran
Our veins
Drenched with rain
A night tower
Flashing
With weighted scars
In the distance
Gleaming from your notions
Of society and suicide
I thought of you
As the street glistened
The smoke pouring from my mouth
Bent in your direction
Finding you empty
Exhausted logic
With a waking memory
You don't know yourself anymore
I just wanted to hold you
Rhet Toombs Jun 2015
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
