As I lay silently onto this room –
A dulcet wistful moment comes to mind,
Over a love I can’t depart behind.

‘Twas a spot where it used to be my home,
Those old priceless times where I always roam.

A glimpse of your face so beauteous and kind,
Love unequaled and never will I find.

I evoke those restless nights in my room,
And to think of your fairness endlessly.

No matter how the years elapsed and untwine,
Still, I reminisced and loved your beauty.

Just your name! My heart reacts in a bind!

This poem’s made to refresh your memory,
To ease the solitude, and unwind.

Stand still

I feel myself sinking
And inside I’m thinking
That each movement I’m making
Is pulling me deeper

Stand still

Focus on what you say
Always be sure to convey
Emotional and fervency, there’s no time to waste
Our lives are at stake

Stand still

I can feel every breath
Pulse thumping closer to death
Wondering where we went wrong in the right
And if your lovely eyes will again see the sunlight

Stand still

Capture this moment please
Sinking beyond the knees
Torso receding as I hold close to you
Wondering when the sinking will be through

Stand still

Take the deepest of breaths
I can see you’re scared to death
Hold closer to me as we are swallowed whole
And may God rest our soul

Forever standing
Still

They told me I’m sick
Hide it, get rid of it, bury it
They told me to burn it inside my body
Or my body will burn in the fires of hell

I injected myself with syringes of Anesthesia
Hoping it will lead me to a place where infinity exists
White clouds, white wings, white everything
It was temporary and I find myself burning again

Needles of pain to make the pain go away
The pain never went away
Drowned myself in sorrow hoping for a better day
The day never came

I wanted to talk
But my mouth was glued shut
I wanted to see the light
But darkness was too bright

I forgot who I was
Wear a mask to match
Everyone saw what’s hiding beneath
A life full of grief

I didn’t feel anything
But feeling nothing is feeling everything
I felt everything, everything
Everything full of nothing

I need to find a cure
To be accepted, to be loved
But there was no cure
And I am a sinner

But little did I know that you are too
You are sick too
You are a sinner too
And there’s no cure

As hardships intrude
and darkness knocks,
The door of the heart

The candle of hope
flickers to it's last
The Glee
Withers away

Optimism, pessimism?
As the mind questions
In haze

The agony,
agonizing
The darkness,
inevitable

Yet,
Reselience and prayers
Lightens the candle,
of hope

A taste like a hay,
Nothing satisfies
No one can save me
From my ability to realize.
Internal combustion takes over me,
As I stand on my own;
Trying to keep me down all the time I had myself shown.     
So, save me from this, make it end? I thought I'd say;
“No, I’d do everything to keep you breathe instead of to live.” It said.
the unbearable dullness of life.

Sweet agony
Come and take me
Sweet agony
Come and drain me
If you took away the pain from me
My existence would corrupt
So, dear agony
Come and pull me away
Away that far away from here
So that I can bleed;
Without any interfere
An intriguing pain that fires the creativity spark.

i.
Abyss.
Cocooned within an infinitely bounded vacuum
A smile eclipsed by resonating quiescence.
                         This emptiness
                                  kills.
I yearn to sculpt the carvings of camouflaged tears
through 3 am poetry
but yellow sheets emptier than my dreams
embrace
as I dangle amidst kaleidoscopes of barren yesterdays.
Even words have failed me tonight.

ii.
Chaos
Twirling against haemoglobin tiles
deranged voices heist the oxygen from my lungs
as I gasp
against a narrowing rib cage.
Insanity tattooed within mascara embroidered eyes
I hear you over and over
screaming, screaming, screaming,
and I explode
into scarlet fragments of nothingness.

iii
Adieu
I used to build esoteric constellations with
the stars in my eyes
and tuck away the moon underneath
my smile
But now my irises bleed the tales of fallen stars and a widowed sky.
Whiskey memories sway against burnt edges of my windowpane
as I spiral into an expanse of toxic ruins
of myself,
falling
falling
falling
falling











fallen.
A gun gives you the opportunity,
The thought pulls the trigger

i feel like a beer bottle
that's been thrown against a concrete wall
in a fit of anger
shattering as it hits
the pieces fall to the ground
i fall
broken
shattered
fractured
cracked
splinters of glass are embedded in my skin now
blood trickling down my arms
and from my heart
every breath feels like a war
gasping
panting
choking
blood falls to the floor
red paint on a ***** canvas
until it spells out "help"
sweat runs down the side of my face
onto my bedsheets
from wrestling the demons
fighting
brawling
sparring
i'm worn out
broken down
dilapidated
i just want the agony to end
i don't want to fight anymore
i smell of war
and blood
and pain
there are stab wounds
and bullet holes all through me
it all hurts so very much
i just want to be completely tranquil
and at ease for once
