Begin again

The unplayed nostalgic sounds

A gentle whisper and caress on your birthday

Your mother leaving a light on for me

That safe smell of heat in your parents house
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
Body alone

She could have done so much better

Now they have a child together

Her laugh is broken as ever

Slit wrists don't make her shudder

Tomorrow they awake with fever

Another cigarette is the only endeavor

Let's creep silently

Quietly

In this instance, maniacally

For my love, in its entirety

Is nothing but a sobriety
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
Walking through cities at ocean depths

[and] all of everything has [now]

been removed in a wisp [of doubt]

Cautious display

Forgetting what you've seen
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
And your neck throbs in syncopated sweat

Pleasing ascension

One final night drive

Listening to the lullaby from lost river
Rhet Toombs Aug 2016
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
