your sun burns my skin
pale
hungry
entering the void you manipulatively created
worrisome

the trench pulls ******* my weeping benevolence
i loathe the intricate memory
the impeding wonder
the vagrant, pulsing fear

eyes wide open and breathing in
tangling
misunderstood and tumultuous
once again, pale
or is it empty?

digging quickly in search of the homestead
previous paths erased
replaced
upon which my sun sets and moon glows
taken

her eyes illuminate
deep red
surging
and searching
helplessly obedient
turning pages as if the gods proclaimed the duty

once true obligatory flames
now a pitter patter
rain
drenching
lies

sunlight gasping for air
on a pale grim afternoon
children awaken

there must be an underlying theme

where does all the blood come from
the bane of our existence
painful sorrow
but there is mystery, magic

swimming in falsified innocence
oh, how you avoid
DARKEST HOUR
standing, full attention
borrowed words

i see a serpent
or a snail
a bartered fairy tale

talk is cheap

wander on, says the maiden
hard rains
drench souls

swim on, *******
a tendency for noise
tormented

and fooled

he was warm
soft
beautiful
a heavy gaze between two wanderers
these souls laced with fury

calm
suddenly changes
a smell
spice
musk
drunkenness

your arms hold wisdom
hate
procreate
deflate
curate

my fate

these winds of depth sweep in from gods
restoring a distant comfort

the grey
conniving patronization
attempts at betrayal
so long a reliance

tempted, a lost miracle
jolting fear
to stand beneath the raining sun
fragile emanation

when the sky sets fire
deep orange manipulation
seeking shelter
bright understanding
swiftly burning, a child’s dream

how to escape the burning sun
enter, this mind
       winding
             BURN.

holy suffrage
bittersweet goodbyes
temptations from the elders
         (sweeping metal cobwebs)

sky brings cosmology
remembering
the flame.
                            me

far beneath the surface
of the tearing mask of eloquence
the soul speaks

loudly
beware all creatures
enchanting captivity
a fiery mouse

of lioness
from heavens worlds away
beckoning

hide all possessions
free minds collapse
refill with terror

Rooftops ablaze
From characters past
Tonight we dance
Create a void of necessary visions
Fields drenched with masterful blood
Creatures searching all night for sustenance
I cry out for your unborn solitude
You tickle the skin below my *******
Flickering haze
Daze
Maze

Amaze

Well the moon is my shelter
My seeker
My dreamer

Deepest, darkest
Unknown
Unlike the bright glistening sun
                 Dripping
Unlike the shining glass
Unlike the penetrating light
                 Blinding

This is the moon glow
Moon glimpse fairy tale
Dark underwater
Falling

Quiet Masquerade
Familiar emanation
Once forgotten calling
But this is where I came from

deep soft warmth encased in meek palms
fingers smooth
and formulated truths
each groove parts seas of future loves

following the mold laid out before me
thoughts and mind flow
out of perky fingertips
through the barrier of time
a pen is gripped as my head tilts slightly

a journey takes place
to watch you hold my own
gratuitously

and now, as time allows
your grip becomes tighter
the swell of a ravaged soul
protruding, a once favorable innocence
now drowning
lines
cracks

i feel your heartbeat
