Be still within the desert of your heart.
Your soul whispers a middle name in muddled confusion
Parallel to the perfect storm. She'll be answered as she's
Beckoned before your pedestal. Her memory and
Countless fingers grasp survival.
Let her work, let her see you fully Allow bags and boxes to overfill.
She'll bring you closer to a version of truth. She'll hop in the car
Ready to drive between points of your screaming silence.

Shallow prints graze and leave ink stamps. Still seen in darkness. Your soul continues to stand alone. Final battles announcing the death of empty souls, nullified and torn. Retreat
Go back.
Comprehend sources of her waves fears and
Share her burden.
Shay Ruth Mar 2013
Let me go
She hissed at the wind
Fire in her eyes, wounds on her neck
Singeing tips of stumbling trees
Chomping at the lethal, imprinted grips
Let me go, let me be cursed
Let me be

Reach further, she's there
Can't you see her?
She gazes and prays
She turns and cries for shifts
Within her
Without her

Succinct tongues speak out of turn
Slicing thoughts of strength
Lower she stumbles fading into shadowed
Currents, locked between steel
The skies trample and snap
Delicate curves of the heart

Flesh appears by chill
Breathy ice tickles tunnels of sound
Touching, moving all nervousness
Arising north, present and dangerous
Nourished opportunities hanging
Churning flaws and mistakes

What spine shivers against the blade
One cleave to tear deeper
And another to consume the decomposing
All who bathe under the stars beware
For hearts beat in the fingertips
Rotating to echoes of tomorrow
Shay Ruth Dec 2012
If our lives were spent alone
Who would be the first to cry?
Wilting, poor, all on one's own
Who would think, "when will I die?"

When darkness slumps through the bark of oak
The veins of vultures ready to latch
Around crimson promise and blessed choke
Finally, scare and prepare to ******

And if someday, we come to owe Harm
Do we run, strike and speak out
Or simply stroke, battering heavy charm?
Misunderstood, hands must fall to forget or thrash about

There lies a wall of truth and song
Overcoming beggars and idiolopologists
Where birds fall dead, lamenting their wrong
Shut them out, they all studied to be pathetitoligists

Study of stupid and study of told
When will they cry?
They'll follow with metallic hearts, chilled, cold
Why not die?
Shay Ruth Nov 2012
Surrender proceeds jingling bones
A path remained unfound
In it's place stands
No option but up
Or down, or any other way possible
Protection comes from
Ambiance; choked on the woes of wooing branches
What have they seen? Who will they touch?
What corpulent feelings protrude
From a vacant, verdant lung
How now will screams fall?
Like the buoyancy of oak, suckling
Syrup, sweet, from
Distressed veins of age
When air stands taller
Untruthful containers, thoughts swell
She never may know of her inevitable bliss
Shay Ruth Nov 2012
Will a knife hurt as badly as
The word dripping, hanging from
Your finger
A deck of cards choke my wrist
I couldn't break or stay

Would an intention change out of an
Increase of a biting soul? A flourish
Of untamed, unseen branches asking
Myriads of thoughts and passions

Where is the point
To which you will catch your heat and
Ingest your selfishness, your hunger?
Fuel an impulse, fill mysteries with numbness and certainty
Feed a desire, for completeness trails appetite
