dreams,
let them float
to you.

don't try
to make them
into something
you wish
to dream about.

just let
the universe
decide.

Why is life measured in years and not living?
Long years and truly life, uncorrelated
Age and wealth, mere numbers, not significance
Whereas transcendence and becoming is

The old was yesterday, the new reborn daily
More than the sum of all you were, and more
Every day a new world, walked with new eyes
With ancient soul, and even more ancient spirit

Seeing from the end to the beginning, and beyond
Insatiable but there is yet sleep, and tomorrow
Today, a life fully lived, and ancient evermore aged
Eternal life beckons, and tomorrow We walk, again

And We walk not alone, but as One
The unseen truly real not that seen
After an iteration of lying silent,
Slowly breathing
In and out
Enduring a lifetime of suffocation,
Something is seen.
Amongst the ashes of what once existed
And along the edges of the things that used to grow,
Life begins again
A warmth and a green haze that belies
The reckless abandon
Of all that used to be.
The whisper of Hope begins
A hoarse and hollow voice
Folding in on itself
While it echos across the barren wasteland
Of old, storm-worn steps
That lead into the coming days.
I look up
At the ashes that still fall,
Settling at my shredded feet
In piles of gray
And despair.
But Hope's voice grows ever louder
Though it never rises above a mutter,
Weak and worn
From years of oppression.
My eyes land on a single shade of blue
That birthed the emerald Hope
Among the ashes of the past.
And in a swirling maelstrom of ephemeral understanding,
I can now see:
There will be music here again
It may be many an era before its strands
Pluck through the dust
Of the destruction wrought
But there will be music here again.
I'm getting bad again.

Being pest like and violent

Dancing around in a circle, a mischief circle like a group of cultist.
Plotting their next attack with sounds misplaced for ducks.

Adorable yet they hiss like a snake, ready to attack…

The man across the pond with his rifle stretched across his back. A seasoned veteran; he rocked on his chair.
Tooted his belly over to anybody walking by and asked them about their opinions on the Geese.

Every reply a moment to get away, because it was nothing of concern to anyone.

So then the Man’s satisfaction yearned being deeply troubled.

Like flies in mouse traps. Sated across the back like chickens because they cant fly physically but spiritually they did.

Their bodies vanished without a second to think.
Perhaps the Geese ate more than they could chew but the main man came for the full course.

Conclusion today…A
“Goose game.•”
Trying to get tired with this piece lol. It was working and this was somewhat reflects of the stuff in real time.
It's rotten work
It is for me
If it's me

It's rotten work
To get up in the morning
To keep breathing

It's rotten work
To make coffee
And drink water

It's rotten work
To eat when I'm not hungry
And get dressed every day

It's rotten work
It is to me
If it's me

It's rotten work
To go to work
To pay my bills

It's rotten work
To fake normalcy
And mask whatever the hell this is

It's rotten work
To not just sleep
Sleep and sleep and sleep

It's rotten work
It is for me
If it's me

It's rotten work
To drive each day
And not off the highway

It's rotten work
To be alive
And keep caring for myself–or trying to

It's rotten work
Because all I want to do
Is not talk, not eat, not drink

Just...sleep.
I'm getting bad again. Maybe I haven't been okay in a long time, I've just been hiding it. Either way, I am here again and I guess I forgot that it's rotten work to keep on living when all I want to do is sleep.

She lingers where the silence sleeps,
In breathless hums and eyelid weeps—
A ghost in velvet funeral threads,
Dancing in the static of my head.

I dream her drowned in mirrors cracked,
Smiling with the eyes I never get back.
She speaks in tongue, in fevered sighs,
Each word a wound beneath disguise.

My fingers twitch with phantom touch,
Starved for her... it’s far too much.
She bleeds in shapes across my skin,
And still I beg to let her in.

She once was light—but light decayed,
Now she's the price I always pay.
A veiled eclipse, a lover’s curse,
She’s the better half of every worse.

No pulse—just rhythm, raw and slow,
A symphony of undertow.
I kissed the rot behind her grin,
And built a shrine beneath her sin.

She isn't mine.
She never was.
But I was hers,
And still... because—

The scars she drew are vines, divine.
I drink the venom, call it wine.
She is the ache I can’t outlive.
She took what love refused to give.

She isn't real.
But she's the only thing I feel.
if she isn't real, i can't make her real

My paintings come to life
Springing off the paper
Pulling their self in to the real world
that I pay to escape

dancing around my room
they leap and frolic
before my sleeping face and dormant eyes
my dreams full of colour
felling that my art is with me

Hamilton plays in the kitchen
My eyes growing heavier each song
Staff are messing around as if
they are children on the playground
The world around me is moving
but for once i am allowed to be
still

My mind slows down for the first time in awhile
and the world becomes
a warm blanket
Comfortable and dark

Thank you

I'll melt into you, dear friend.
May you paw at me and latch on
with your pussywillow claws.

I will breathe you in like mist
that rolls forth and coats my tongue
and slithers down my throat like a feather boa,
a gentle paralysis.

A little bit of death gives me life for tomorrow.

You look so peaceful in your sleep
with that beautiful look of serenity on your face
you look like an angel taking a nap
so exquisite, so elegant, so delicate
I wonder if you are dreaming
and if you are dreaming
are you dreaming of me?
are you dreaming of the times we’ve had
the good and the bad?
Are you dreaming of the first time
I held you in my arms and kissed your lips?
are you dreaming of the time I whispered in your ear
that I love with all my heart?
You look so peaceful, without a care in the world
your lips curled up into a seductive smile
your cheeks a rosy hue shining like night fly
I wonder if you are dreaming
But how can you be dreaming?
how can anything be on your mind?
how can your heart be beating
lying here in your cold grave
