Fireflies in a jar
Covered in mountains of scarves
Darkened, but not out
Still it shines
Despite not being seen
Deep within the cocoon of fabrics
Soft as a kittens fur
To rough as canvas sacks
All contain the light
Hiding it
Sheltering it from the outside world.

You have had a long time to perfect your story,

become who you are,

have answers for any question.

Your face shows life-

that life has been ******* you.

Do you have a self now?

Or are you just justification?

I cant blame you:

an easy answer avoids hard truth

where should I hide
my love.

while I'm dying for
you to notice me,

you said that it
better to be kept
inside

rather ruin the beauty
of what it is now.

Why are you hiding
Is it important to hide
Don't hide here alone

I will hide with you
What do you mean, No I can't
If you hide, I hide

Don't hide alone...

the bitterest, bitter
guiltiest, guiltier
trying to reach out the flag out from here
most hidden, more hidden
can't...
How does anxiety-disorder feel like?

To the secrets that are kept away
whispers unheard
cloaked by the shadows
these thoughts are engulfing

hearts shiver
i can feel the cold wind
parading with the darkness
these thoughts are overwhelming

take me away
throw me away
set me aside
while my thoughts consume me

behind the wall
they cant hear me
behind the wall
they cant feel me


invisible
even my reflection dulls
concealed by gloom
light is dim

They say we've got twisted minds
But there's only so much a soul can hide.
I've been in a big Halloween mood lately so here's a little poem for the haunting of the season
Aaron E Sep 2019
Watching the archetypal parable filler sealing his fate with a seed,
and see the walls of the story blossoming off to the sky.

It seems to offer impossibility bottled and wreathed,
a leaf in season to whittle through to the blossom in time.

The time he took to fear it, board windows, ignoring the means,
and flailing crops are not to halt the work ,and question the why.

He finds a seed to bury deep within the walls of his dreams,
a kind of thief to be policing the light.

The hubris in a few ferocious branches,
accruing the subtle stances required, refusing visitor glances at the shrine
The thorns swallow a rich canopy buried beneath
and keep a perilous gift hanging for traveler thigh

Time echoes in hope of lending vestige's light, crying out
to see the breadth of the line.
To see the tangential nature of the leaf,
and know the grief elucidated and reaped
for a return on what we sow in the vine

Another garden enclosed.
A partial view of the sky.
A further longing for truth.
Assume a gruesome divide.
Aloof and hardened to bone.
A carving suited for pine.
A starving forest in roost.
Abuse is looming inside.

Confusing and dried.

He's choosing his pride.

Refusing a guide.

Losing his mind.
