Rib
Make my heart stir once more

Furthering a silicon sickness

Unreachable this time

Sworn from these graces so long ago

An immense melody scarring reflections

This too will haunt our past

Speaking with bruised wrists

All roads home are now erased

Mountains yielding permanence

Emerging with gorgeous anticipation

Shed their fallen attempts

For your eyes are not green

They were born from the most ancient of moss

Wrapped in a dripping globular of starlit jade
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
Leave me here by the forest
Revealing measured suffering
Confusion of a knife
Denied importance
Swallowing common voids
Unspoken process
Hungering for faceless absolution
Lighthouse eyes
A funeral in full bloom
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
And it will never go away
With blameless transcendence
Delicate machines choking
Slowing perpetuated logic
Failure in a green pool
Weaker to welcome
Power lines down in October
A spiders ninth leg
Phantom systems asleep
Backyard rapture
Circling hope as a drain opens
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
We will share this death
Unrest with subtle detection
Further collapse
A lighter consumption
Agony prone
Shutters open to relax veins
Focus with a decayed world
You're still learning to stand
Remembering the end
Passing twisted resonance
Bottled winter
Half-bruised with buried innocence
You want to be known
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
Because you prefer it
Winding down with a stranger in bed
Your prayers and future lost
Better fasting in mind
With a heart that jumps too freely
Just a window glow
As night comes for these shards
Your swiftly torn undercarriage
Vexed to the incalculable
Bleeding out under hot water faucets
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
Branches of regret
Pillars of imagined perfection
Restored features
Optional decaying cells
Moments trickling into chaos
Waking from a black frame
Your melted singing voice
Rhet Toombs Sep 2015
Sealed in space
Motionless love theme
Neglecting a soul saved
Precipitated malice
Unoriginal to a shameful crypt
Rearranged embrace
A slave within
You keep steady warmth in Denver
I wither continually in Memphis
