You're gone.
Off, on your journey.
Into your spirit world.
Yes, it's alright to go to Heaven now.
I knew one day I would lose you,
So I memorized the cut on your right finger.
I see that cut, that scar, now, on your finger.
As you lay - suit creased, pancake make-up and dead flesh.
I once loved you with a heart that knew not how to love.
And you abused it.
You defiled it.
Stomped it.
Then your last words to me were "You were the love of my life."
Then you wilted, just like the flowers you planted.
That amber ring on your other finger that we bought together.
It's there.
On your dead finger.
On my dead heart.
Soon to be buried.
Remembered by me.
Forever.
But, only by me.
True Story
 Oct 2015 Sadikshya Tripathi
Matt
I cannot find my glasses
I only have contacts

I will have to get another pair
I search for my glasses
They should be where I always put them

Empty yourself
Of desire

Where have my glasses gone?
My body is paralyzed,
stuck in an infinite wave,
filled with regret.
I've been abused,
I've been used.
Found out that my "dad", wasn't really my dad.
At age 5, seen a guy get shot and killed.
Seen my "dad" hold a gun to my moms head.
Thought of suicide multiple times.
Been through hell and back.
I'm broken, you can say.
We all have our stories and are broken in some way.
Like you, love is dumb
you see? you acted it out like it was a play!
That's not how you do things, man. love isn't a word you can say.
You're starting to control the things around you in the worst way possible, think!
think.
Mizar...think.

No more games, no more silly little board games.
Remember? You hate those things, haha!
Shut up! I'm serious now.
Seriously, stop.

If you keep thinking some day your head will pop.
If you keep feeling depressed some day people will stop.
They'll stop liking you and talking to you and drift away.
You've seen it before, it actually happened today.
Ancient leviathan,
City in sands
Razed in a roar.
Now silence stands

Taller than your
Pillars did before
As the world looks on
It can’t but abhor

Let sleep find your
Great arches now
Though brought down
They did not bow

For their shadows
Outstretch the hand of man
And the rote of
All religion’s plans.

They did not destroy!
They have not won!
And in undoing
Become
undone.
Poem written for national poetry day in the UK, I am an archaeologist, I studied Aegean archaeology, and covered the levant extensively, It pains me that ISIL are destroying these relics... so I wrote about it.
You cant save my life
I am drawn
drawn in my own pain

You cant make me happy
I am covered
Covered with my own grief

You cant read me
I am written in the paper
damped by my own tears
red moon,
deep & sacred
ancient,
giver of life

rain falling
on the moon
rain falling
on great ape mother

great mother ape
washes beneath
the crimson moon

raindrops flowing
down her massive
shoulders and back
great ape mother

eyes wet with rain
tears from the sky
mixing with
tears from the heart
her heart
so
large
Great Mother Ape
love  that  Great Mother Ape
and worship the Crimson Ape Moon
