Her words have failed

Feeling stained

Your mother unaware

Mistakes save but fade

All right

Loud existence and in a flash

Silence, ******

I no longer realize your power

And we're built to die with better choices

Burst

Closed

Torch the lonely

Float away
Rhet Toombs May 2016
I am searching for red blooms on this fragile ground
And awake every morning accepting the agony
Split
Ruined
Wound down for another agonizing transformation
You are the first
My love continues for you on this dying earth
Situations flooded with dispassion
I hope you will remember me
You said we lay naked
But only for me to study your crystalline arches
And to purge myself from the cruelty of this world
Rhet Toombs May 2016
I've been searching for you
In an endless sea of white
Torrential
With a frail head
And split intentions
Searching memories
Currents of you
Bringing scars of past breaths
Half buried
A cruel reminder
Of how deep this can go
Magnetic
Sum of parts brush past
Impure space
Glowing total
You are so near
Falling with grace
I want you
And will wait once more
Rhet Toombs May 2016
Suffocation via ceilings
Roots growing in my marrow
Battery acid injections
Sweet warmth with glass bones
Waiting for a change we can stomach
Hope left days ago
Dying in a concrete world
But with this pain you will never show
And with my pain you will never know
It's insane but I'm meant to grow

Beautiful death
Shiny handles on your sister's casket
Denial of a thousand doors
A shadow's noise
To examine a dull moon
Kinder notice with innocence grasping
Angel awake
A stomach full of ocean
Rapture saves, a pool fades
There are no second questions
And at last
Her weeping
Removed
Rhet Toombs May 2016
May
With all its emotional whereabouts to burden our thoughts once more
Your mother in an undercoat of turmoil
My father's winding eyes past ten o'clock
This life has not been easy for you
But I still collect the drippings from your eyes, time to time
When there's a satin moon
Never understanding the existence of eternity
And this note will never reach you
Because we are now both expired on this late day.
Rhet Toombs May 2016
I want everything to become how it once existed

The foolishness of youth
Long cars ride with empty promises on my lips
To dig my nails into the earth again and feel safe

This perished effort to move on leaves me tainted

Next year will not be better

My love for sleep continues with great pace
I sit and stare with smoky eyes

You remain as a still in my rusted memory
