Silhouettes of shapeless design dance upon lighted canvas walls,
As the moon totters and topples between a black hole and your heart,
Ripping apart the space-time continuum of my already fractured skull,
Spewing forward from my sanguine eyes, a rainbow of discarded harmony and abstract ink blotches.

My mind enshrined itself whilst my thoughts unraveled like a Halloween treat from its wrapper,
Slipping between the bars of the grated floor and tumulting through pipes of unsavory character,
Spilling out from portals to the unrelenting yet ultimately mortal season of water,
Untimely demises are plotted by my cranial nerves to usher in revenge and animosity.
Written 15 March 2016... a very abstract poem

It's not the crackle of the flames,
Or the smell of sulfur,
Or the heat of fire,
That makes us stand in awe.

It's the total consuming aspect,
The way it glitters in our hearts,
And leaves everything in ruin,
That makes us light it up.

Leaving charred remnants of things once valued,
Forcing them to become discarded as worthless and broken,
This equalizer, this fire, it is a balancing force of power,
To be respected and feared, yet also revered.

I cage myself because I hate myself,
More and more feeling the burn,
Deep in my heart, whispering my mind,
Telling me I'm no good, I'm not right.

My shadow is going to become my only friend,
Because I can never cause it grief or pain,
It's okay to cry for me, I'm already insane,
Loss of senses over the anguish of insensitivity.

Didn't mean to hurt you so deep,
I really should've known better,
Here, let me put a bandaid,
On that heart I amputated.

Elephants trumpet
Sun rising in the clear east
Civil war restarts

Your truth is,
More fiction than,
Your ugly lies.

Your ugly lies,
Are more honest,
Than your truth.

Taking a shovel to dig,
Falling into the hole I dug,
Wallowing like a pig.

The beast within is baying for blood
The devil sings a sweet song to him
Dances on pawed feet, the beast does
Claws scratch the marbled floor

The devil whispers the deathly melody
Beast's mouth salivates in anticipation
Memories of flesh in between his teeth
His heart begins to beat faster

The demonic choir sings loudly
Echoes into the beast's ears
Fresh meat fills his nostrils
And the blood fills his mouth

When he comes out of his bloodlust
He is bathed in the life of his kills
Trickling into his eyes and ears
Their faces, their voices, haunting him...

I laugh like a maniac as serenity bleeds out at my feet,
The walls of protection that kept me from harm,
Crumbled to dust as I blew them sky high,
Destroying myself for the good of all.

What would you have me do?
Have a starlit night in peace and quiet?
I will not be the one who lives happily ever after.

I will do my best to bring myself to ruin,
Ruin of my own flesh and blood will come,
Call me crazy, call me insane,
It's why I do what I always do.

Wilted,
Withered,
On my knees,
Hysterical and broke.

The trigger I pull stems from a bottle,
The blood that fails us, made only of water.

You cannot **** what isn't living,
You can only die from not breathing.

This is a small joke
Because haikus inverted
Makes no difference
