my eyes are no longer spouts.
they are steel made of lost consciousness.
and as for the well
it has been taken by dunes of soot
and this,
this milky shadow.
disgust flowing slowly through my flesh as time drags me by my eye lids.
screams from above,
yelling from their crystal lungs
"save yourself"
loudness without understanding as they quickly dissipate
and I am taken
turned to shade
black lightning slowly strikes, like the way liquid finds it's path down glass.
all the exit signs have burnt out and caught fire.
this flood of abysmal embers that glow white, but also black.
and the stygian bolts that cast shadows within and all around.
I am very much dead, but with breath
and with each, I seep.

poem or plea?

the grim held my lips
away from yours
crowded with the hail of red lights in all four directions
as my veins crawl from my mouth
I placed the period before the beginning begun
I've never known you
instead abysmal dreams are now my company
or what I now know as reality
they have engulfed me in some sort of straight jacket
if only the future happened a little further in the past
I might have tasted your skin instead
and saw the deep color your eyes might have kept
along with my soul
my lips have instead been taken into melted burgundy
and scalded by your absence and my unknowing lover
I am drenched in ignorance
that is my death
and my own betrayal to what was comfort

the hazy afterthought
of the bathroom so near
as I collide with the doorway
the blue dawn welcomes me in
bathed in my vision (the angel of fear)
tangled in torment and torture
silent screeches pierced through my ears

I know she has passed
a long time ago she slipped
but last night I found her wrapped in white water
crying from her wrists
and as she vanished my eyes opened
as I lay drowning in the minutes

what do we have, but this life.
our gods that stay hidden within our minds.
be it unseen,
or undesired.
distinguished as love
and, inevitably, being misplaced.
our memory passes as wind.
and the moments, bursting from our eyes.
but I ask you
what do we have?
but to experience the misunderstood
and grieve from incomprehension.
we have the very thing we call life
and, from time to time, we're told this
by the joy, the pain, and the mystery
that runs down our faces.

streetlight by my side
sees
streetlight by my side
bleeds
streetlight by my side
grieves
streetlight by my side
cries
streetlight by my side
lies
streetlight by my side
tries
streetlight by my side
leaves

the whites in my eyes die
and I am swallowed by the memories
of that lost streetlight

she can't tell you
about the face of God,
but she can show you a garden
that's equal.

great plains in the sky
made of lakes yet fallen

brevity

white static floating from smokey stars above
of which we can see, but cannot touch

brevity

burnt mountains without melting expressions
chilled whispers laying seconds to their coffins with it's infinite lullaby

brevity

bold, sunken opticals played by illusion
connected to an ***** of wires and circuits
connected to

brevity
