i feared the monsters under the bed,
i feared the monsters that wept for me and said,
'the real monster is the one you've wed.'
//disclaimer: I AM NOT MARRIED
this was just a thought i had one day

Good news is that it was his birthday
bad news was that two important people
were not going to attend this one
their was balloons and decorations and even a cake
some of his friends dropped off birthday presents at his doorstep
the only thing he was waiting for now was his parents
so when they get home they can watch him blow out his candles
he stared at the clock watching time pass
the moon was appearing itself in the sky
indicating that it is now night time
he started to get very sleepy and accidentally slept on the couch
until a few hours later he feels someone shrugging his shoulder
he opens his eyes and sees both his parents smiling at him
he jumps with glee and hugs both of them
then he took both of their hands and dragged them to where the birthday cake was located
the parents sang happy birthday
and with one big puff he blew out his candles

after the special occasion
he playing with his new toys in his room
until he heard the telephone ringing
he picked it up thinking it was a friend of his
but he realized later it was a voicemail
“hey champ it’s your dad, I forgot to tell you sooner that me and your mom have to go on a business trip and we’ll be back next week, sorry we had to miss your birthday but we promise we’ll make it up to you when we get back” from dad
the voicemail was made a few minutes ago
he put the telephone down and wondered
“if my parents are on a business trip, who is in my house?”

Once,
they played in yards,
stick swords and plastic guns,
mud-streaked faces,
laughing in the sun —
their joy alive, their hearts still warm.
they built forts from blankets,
imagined war as a game,
their laughter ringing bright —

But now —
Helmets cage hollow skulls,
dead eyes made of cold glass,
stone faces locked in a grimace,
marching in perfect sync,
a death-walk of men who forgot how to live,
boots crunching dreams into dust.

This is not a game.

Their hands now, hideous hands,
clench steel that tears mothers open,
splits children’s laughter into screams,
fingers like claws on triggers,
twitching with mechanical precision.

They sow death like seeds,
but nothing blooms —
only fields of twisted bodies,
limbs splayed like broken dolls,
smoke spiralling into the sky,
a sky that they pretend not to see.

This is not a game.

A little girl clutches a doll’s arm,
her brother’s blood still warm on her cheeks,
while the soldiers, these shattered souls,
paint walls with terror —
a grotesque mural of hate and ruin.

They move like zombies,
flesh wrapped in cold commands,
feet dragging through ashes of innocence,
mouths silent, eyes empty,
the light inside them
long since extinguished.

Flesh burns.
Buildings crumble.
Old mothers wail, their voices
splitting the sky —
cries of grief-torn ghosts,
pleas unheard by machines,
hearts replaced by circuits,
thoughts reduced to orders.

I see them.
I hate them.

Machines wrapped in flesh,
monsters programmed to ****.

They were children once —
soft, human, whole —
but they chose this path.

Now, they trudge through fields of ruin,
crushing love beneath their heels,
dragging the stench of death behind them.

A world devoured by horror.
Glass eyes blink,
and with each blink,
another life shatters.

It’s blood on their hands,
it’s death in the air.

This is not a game anymore.

By day, in crayon lines they dwell,
Bright monsters born where wild thoughts swell.
At night they stir, with teeth that gleam,
And claws that rip through fragile dreams.
Their laughter howls; the dark's a curse.
Children's drawings often tell a darker reality and truth.

This...  or that..
the pull of this world
and its long supply
of disappointment,  is strong

I shall Reframe my Journey
almost continually

There is a swirl..  a rising
line, taut..

before limply settling
back down onto the water

There are moments  in time
that live forever

There is a time within
those moments;
I never truly had
the chance  to live


There is a Journey to reframe


I will find my life again,  
   somewhere

Buried deep
within that framework


Aw ****... Monsters.
    including me

Shadows of the light and solace by early demons
Veins cutting through leaves as the flowers shrink and bleed
Time ticking backwards as the future reveals itself
Past, making it's grand entrance in our minds when the present feels overwhelming enough
Mind, whirling in monsters, as the heart's burdened by its own tissues.

I live in a home with monsters
We laugh under the roof always gigglinh
Their eyes glow in the shadows, sharp teeth,
Their smiles are more wicked

The food like lava burns my tongue
And milk drips from the twisted trees
I hate living like a caged rat
Yet i love these weird monsters
Weird am i?

One day i'll take you to my house
Nestled deep in the forest
Where the trees whisper about me
And we will dance in the dark
i don't know if I am thinking about giving up poetry. i think i am just a child with these fancy dreams
