The Invisible Lantern Dec 2018

Cast about on a stormy sea,
The deck was barren,
Our mood deceased.
Many a day, high tides wisped by-
Arresting my feeble mind from time.
Until one day, an epiphany.
"Blue dream," I called out,
"Take me away to that special place
Where up is down
And I float into space;
Drown my sorrows in a haste."

She manifested in my quarters
Later that night,
And with a soft whimper
Summoned my delight.
"Here you are, forsaken one,"
She hauntedly sung to me,
"My love will give you power,
The smoke will set you free."

Many a moment has passed
Since my encounter with blue dream,
But still my dreams call out
Hoping it's her I shall see
When I cross the threshold
Of those pearly gates.

Living and dying

Is the one thing that is worth dying for
Worth living for?.

Stay

Stay a little longer, just for me.
Don't leave me here, you make me stronger.

You were my buddy, my pal when nobody stood by me in the past hell.

You're going to leave, and I'm scared.
Not because you're gone, but just because you're not there.

I wished you could and stayed a little longer.
I want to make you proud.

You'll be something I carry, around my neck and near to my heart.

So if the moment may come, the moment I fear.
Can I trust you, that you're staying by my side, up there?

Don't go, let's stop the time.

I don't want to face this fear.

For my grandma, I love her.

My darling dear

No more crying
No more pain
my life with tears like rain
I'm saying goodbye,
standing on my chair without fear,
With a broken heart and six bottles of beer,
drinking and thinking
about my darling dear,
i knot and tie,
I'm Ready to die,
time to jump off with all my might,
i hope it don't break even if i fight,
rope around my neck,
i double check,
hear I come
smiling with death and my last breath,
I'm your romeo and you where my juliet,
my life I can no longer fake
letting you die alone was my
biggest mistake.

These shaking hands do hold

"Shhhhh" he whispers
Wiping away the tear
that slides down my cheek.
"It's ok now my love I'm here"
He soothes

He kisses my cheek
Hushing me as he does
He takes my shaking hands in his
Holds them steady against his chest

He rubs my wrists
Where purple bruises have started to form
"I'm so sorry, you know what I'm like I dont think before I use my fists"
He says looking down at me
my shirt is torn.

Moments earlier he had been holding me down.
Punching my face
And throwing me around
Gripping my wrists and pinning me to the ground.

Spitting as he shouted
Your ***** and a cheat he accused
My love for this monster melted
What did I do, what did I do to deserve this abuse.

I begged him with all the strength I could find
Please stop your hurting me
I promise I havent lied
Please stop I cant breathe

His hands around my throat
The air from my lungs he started to choke
I coughed and choked I struggled 2 words.
"I'm dying"

Your grip loosened and here I am
Being comforted by you
An abusive failure of a man
What did I do, why do you abuse.

It started so well, good intentions turned bad.

Saint Audrey May 2019

Inevitability

Concessions since made
As hearts coincide
A flash in the eyes
And it'll end fine

You're not in the wrong
Not sure If I am
But it's never much
We rise with the tides

Everything moves in chaotic motion
The more things stay the same
Sometimes I try
But I never find the right words to say
If we don't see the light tomorrow
If you don't come out the same
I hope you recover
And keep your will to change

I always feel your words glow
If I'm asleep or not, I don't want to know
In losing, I only hope that it starts to show
This structural integrity

I'm still awake
I'm scared to die
Scared of all the little deaths
That come with change
Am I in the wrong?
It was just a mistake
Like everyone makes
Or so they say

Slow dying flower,
will you sleep within eden,
or in god's belly?

Let her go

Let her go.
You're draining the life from her.
Blood red, petals drift to the ground.
Wilting.
Curling.
Finding stillness and turning to monochrome.

Let her go.
Beating.
Slow and lazy.
Beating.
Its barely there.
The world falls to stillness around her.
The inside of a glass tomb.
People will morn, maybe even you.

Let her go.
Your embrace is too strong.
Unforgiving.
You don't want her anyway, let her be free.
Controlling her doesn't fix you.
Controlling her won't make you love you.

Let her go.
She's fading to numbness.
A slow thud.
Survival.
Love?
This isn't love.

**But this is loving you
