*** with a child's limitation Sore and due the strength, if not a hat Redress and salt, to look hard at the smile in the moon Sakes be cloth, takes be wrath, shakes be the cat Seek and you shall find, a nightmare Places to go to, and who's to remember with time Shadowed friends nowhere seen, accept to swear On my honor, the sight of silence, is to eat an enemies crime Never... And the silver of a human eye Has come and gone, to say hi to the grim reaper Sates in the hold, a weary eye to sing with a wry... Sand and glue, has said hell itself *** in the open, and a home to warm the soul, is need's fool? Is my name so dead, that a requited bird is a nosey **** Like the notion to terrorize a new know, the curiosity of a cool Shiney, and waiting on a bared secret, with which A memory the aloof and the tooth, made With the tears of another, as if I seek a bread to ***** Look here, second wind on the lips, suicide on the shade... Peace and the right to a windy cave... Around about, and tones of pain in the sickness of a pout Can a dead pillow, ever let more than a flame share All of any, in the name of a craving, does salt ever let a sound? Perfume and blindness Let on this side of the moon, somewhere we were A courage to sing in the name of a guest Live shallowness, the life of a furious mirror, has voiced a seer... Lemon, acid and embarrassment's tea Can's a voiced seed, to reach for a weight in the sea, saviors Lent a skill of a swallow of wind and silence, the image of a me Has a new eye, for a jaded fear to step forward, in the courtesy of a star Patience in a stare with order's of a music, name the **** Lip and stone, saving the heat of many more, selves Has a wish in its midst's, that seems to defy any heart Put your trash somewhere else, suicide is for the devil...

A Shadow Asking About Oblivion, Isn't Obvious...

I've ripped into my chest, With nails so brittle and torn And scratched out my veins, Carving the rivers of blood Into chasms of red turned still. My wounds would fester, Like lakes buried underground, The pit left inside my heart Became catacombs to climb. Fingers gashed to make space For me to explore my bones, And forever within I could journey Without even making a sound. In time Death will come to find, That its pain is unable to take me. Nothing can surpass my enduring, And I will survive my own autopsy.

Fissure
You are as The silver moonlight Which with its grace Dances on the surface of this lake. You, who penetrates my depths And ripples into my being Causing waves to quake. I will be your shelter, In my open arms I will be your rest. I will be as the caves of old, Within me you may find peace From the raging tempest of the world. You may shutter your eyes and dream, For the fire will remain Even if to fuel it, I must burn.

There is a cave Within a cliff Beside a great waterway And I don't know That it exists How the ocean moves and carves it's way Without me watching it every day How the caves of mind turn ever in In their unexplored and unannounced way

Caves (The Unconscious)
In the pink, it made her truly Admire something amazing Not even his smile to think "The Caves of Dargilan" It was quite the art like The caves of wonder magician He was touched by her baby pink beauty The words formed inside Color divine cerise Message to heart from the Prince The cave smiled with pride She felt loved rosy glossy Like the Epiphany, she hears his symphony glow the caves show The perky lovely side of pink protected who decides To paint it pink more to think Her hot lips magenta To her fancy the Diva Merci Beaucoup Caves The New Year story whoa what a scoop No time for blushing pink bride jury loop to loop Good heaven's glory To the highest authority Caves crafted in his duty like a ritual her smile Lifted petal pink gravity Love of France in a trance Her eyes what discovery A balance of love symmetry Caves are mysterious Her lips shadow to be kissed Never missed in the cave work of art never to part I hope this

Caves Smile Hot Pink
in the darkness she hears the silence echo like the air has a voice and it follows where the winds go... she listens for bats to shriek through their wings after fleeing from the light her flashlight brings. she stumbles on each crack and shivers from the thought of breaking, the light flickering on the path from her frightened hands shaking. soon her fear subsides when a light appears at the end. a great relief to her eyes only the sun could send.

#*The pillars in the caves Encrypted and engraved Ancient they are Have stood for ages Weathering changes Light cold rain dark , the sunshine all gone The pillars in the caves stand tall There is a story , many told Lost in ages ,memories old Something to be found The story profound Only the brave hearts Unravel the mystery of the history The strength of the pillars Ancient they are Not everyone can and would want to know*#

Hey, Siri. Take a note. Take a note for every time I make a new document to write a paper for class, only for you to power down in 2 paragraphs, because I've observed your patterns and my studies show that I can't depend on you. You crest and trough in intervals so irregular that if someone were to trace your path, from 79 percent, to 58, to 31 and 79 all over again, they'd be able to outline the Sierra Madre. Take a note for every time you black out like the lights in a house of a horror movie, as dread like waiting for a spirit beyond the door overcomes me, because you know what -- forget the jumpscare, your sudden death already caught me unawares. Take a note for every time my heart stops over a powerbank left at home, because not even halfway through my Grab trip, you're full, half full, all gone. Take a note for every time you register a full green bar one minute, only to drop to 15% in two, because I'll have you know, I'm through. Take note - I'm disappointed in you. You make my face light up one second, only to dim into a faint red glow the next. You've proven yourself unreliable; how can I call you my friend? You're my heart's ultimate puppeteer, second to none, You get me charged up only to drain me of the color in my face like the green in the corner, full, half empty, all gone. **** I could toss you aside, falling to my knees, Watch your screen crack, shatter, cave in As its glass shards fly and pierce my skin Ripping my chest to shreds as my heart takes a piece, but that can't be, because you tore it apart when you powered down on me! You're the reason I think the glass is half empty, and I… am empty. I stare into the void of my dead phone screen -- black. Low battery. I see wrinkles creasing through my forehead, the bags beneath my eyes, I see dilated orbs drained of any vigor, any life. I see my reflection on this black mirror, devoid of any expression whatsoever. No curves lifting the sides of my lips, no pink flushing both my cheeks, just me, soulless. I'm empty. It's funny. Through you, I see a girl who crests and troughs at intervals so irregular, Who's traced the outline of the Sierra Madre on herself, Who cracks quicker than glass once she's fallen to her lowest Who realizes that maybe she's been too hard on you, that maybe she should take a look at herself before she opens her mouth, before she cracks, shatters, caves in, glass shards flying, spreading thin. I stare down at your screen's shards across the floor, I realize how I can't put you back together, not anymore. I'm very sorry. I have no words. I guess you can say… I'm full, half empty, all gone.

An inquisitive mind—flourished from oppression into a cave as rich as Reed mine Where tourists can flood my thoughts Pick at my gold and sell it for their lives Stabilizing their own While weakening my historic rise Greed increases, and relationships are seceded Because everyone wants to obtain sacred pieces   Wandering through pixels of distorted visions Gatherers become hunters Painting with blood, their own ambitions Setting standards for the continuing generations In turn, a figurative genocide For the sake of remaining proclamations Paralyzing, terrorizing, and destroying indifferent others   If time manipulates unfortunate events, perhaps the solution Is just the opposite Creatures of habit soon face an evolution Once protagonists reach a state of lucid retribution It defines them as antagonists playing a role of uncanny acts The renowned vigilantes use time as their sword To reenact their own demise and call unto their lord Scattered within the affluent cave The people and their children And their children's children Are enslaved, digging their own graves while being influenced by vacuous hopes and darkened shapes The repetitive motions devolved into psychopathic notions They attempted to escape but were punished for breaking the rotation Whipped, humiliated, and shamed The cave insulated the pain By offering priceless artifacts Within my knowledgeable den

Extinct Time
slipping away passages of time slips away down through the canyon rock where the forever makes it yawning gait and the weight of the fossils forces down upon the lightless tunnels where the urchins and sea shells learned to sing in their petrified state, where the smooth stone kiss where waters were once a rushing estate and eyeless fish swim not knowing the difference of light and dark in the deep lake echoing fathers, weeping widows silence endangers the sanity echoed into a beating soul forget not the smooth takeaway winds nor the shoreless wager of nighttime gin a mammoth cavern performing unspoken hollowed out by all that is forgotten

Mammoth Cavern
I stepped into a hollow cave in search of something new. Don't know what I was thinking maybe I was searching for a clue. The sun's rays couldn't hit me anymore I was surrounded by rocks and fossils. I fell in love with the ruins of an old,lost city with narrow streets and dark caves with skeletons on the street and gold coins in the shade All of these ruins only to forget you

Will we meet upon the green grass hill Will you come and sit with me still Underneath the old oak tree We can sit and gaze at the sea We can watch the white top waves As it beats toward the caves The sea foams frothy white at the wide open mouth And when the wind blows from the south You can almost hear the pirates song When they use to visit the cave, but those years are long gone That's where they use to hide their treasures But now only the waves laps in at it's leisure You once asked me,"why don't you explore the cave by the sea" "To find diamonds and the gold that there might be" I only shot you a smile Because I knew all the while I had all ready found my diamond And around you my arms I tightened But that was many years ago And the winds of time did blow It aged our bodies, and took you away So I made that climb up hill today To sit up under that old oak tree To reminisce of what use to be To hold tight the ghost of your memory For that's one thing time can't take from me

The Oak Tree
Sweet beautiful machine behind the woods, chuckle with tears and carries a barren womb, "Do you regret the Unlife?". I shouted. And a soft voice whispered "No". I have not seen the crows singing to the corn, I believe in nothing, and nothing at all, "Do you fear the sky?". I thought. And a soft voice whispered "No". Your harmony pleases the pace of the trees, I have forseen all of this inside of a dream, "Are you even trying to see me?". I asked. And a soft voice whispered "No". Spreading those legs of yours around my neck, I kiss the cave of wonders as if were a threat, "Is everything fine, my love?". I licked. And a soft voice whispered "No".

Hypnagogia (Exordium Cyclus)
An effect I thought I was impervious to Butterflies Uncertainty Insecurity My soul lingers on my skin Like smoke on walls I'm transparent. Many men have come with their ice picks Desperately chipping away at the cold encasing my heart And here you are A wildfire. Restless and tactful Every scar I have earned My armor In ashes. I'm terrified vulnerable And yours..

What I Never Said
The moon hangs above me beclouded A pupil behind a milky cataract He knows night's words When he tells me them my eyes roll to whites My succubus drapes herself over me Her snakehair is such a mess They tell me love's words while biting at her ******* That woman is there in the window again black backlit cutout by yellow light so nicely framed She dances without moving I throw a rock at her window, and she stays motionless I flee terrified The winter forest draws snug its blanket snow unspoiled by track or trail My breath is smoke on the air The wastelands burn about me bergs of ***** bone They tell me of secret grottos in cool underground wherein water drip drip drips onto tombstones forever muted My longing lips crack and bleed My sunblind eyes drift skyward I scream for the vulture my friend to fly me down there

Pitter patter of miniature feet Children are something that I want I always have And always will But my own children aren't necessarily Something that I can have They are beautiful And worthy of life And as open-minded as I can be I don't want to **** mine But I will not have to pay For surgery nor for drugs So let me freeze my potentials Let me remove my shallow caves I do not need them anymore Just like you don't need her Love me love me love me I am your child I always have been And always will be I love you So love my kids... (However they arrive) Because they will arrive... And love you too

Look at me; watch as my body caves to your everything. Your hands are like a poison seeping into my skin, infecting every inch of my body. But please, continue on, I won't dare ask you to stop; You're easily the worst, best thing that's ever happened to me. -JRM

Poison
my silence is burrowed in these bones, my bones let me go alone into the catacombs let me breathe the heart of this impenetrable darkness I swear to god I never meant to hurt you outside, on your doorstep I am worn out sick and tired, and so on these cave walls hover on my ribs I will never make you understand how the music of this death march haunts me in my empty chest I am filled with the waning moon the song of our sorrow overflows me my bones, my bones, weaved within the stone floors our bones, your bones stacked against the walls let me go alone into this hollowed darkness this hallowed ground in the dead of night this void shudders in my bones, my bones I swear I’m dying I swear to god the cavern of this morgue is my only home let me go gentle into this good night this holy unborn chaos under cover of darkness our world is small and scarred someday I swear I will be still my shaking hands will settle in these bones, these bones, let me die among the dead under cover of darkness this new world washes over me the water of my veins will flood this empty sky there are thrones in the corners of this room and we turn away (the underworld is not in flames it is drowned in this cold breathing earth) there are thrones in the corners of this room, and they are empty let me go alone into this heart of darkness, when I fall upon this floor my soul will dance on torch lit walls my heart runs cold across this sacred stone let the pure unsettled darkness strike in me that kind of hollow I am trying to build a home here, these bones, my bones the music of our heavy mouths drifts upward to the sky I am a tragedy, for the last time we will lose our senses underground and we will thank god as my eyes fall wide on these hollow walls I am more at home than I have ever been let this open earth bite me to my core as my chest is bared before this empty sky I will not rage against the dying of the light I am worn out sick and tired the chorus of our footsteps echoes on my bones, our bones, my bones melted in this torch light we are dying sacred

On the lower rung of the ladder she stands wide eyed, that ambiguous smile on her lips and my yearning has a mysterious kinship, with the mysteries of the semi-lit attic, I could discern from the bits and pieces she revealed with that sly look as we walked  hand in hand through the garden path as slowly as we can. The ladies in the neighborhood would stand in groups and look curiously at us as we walk, a sight rare in the village where movement in thickets were the symbol of unspeakable pleasures! A shy boy and a girl unusually bold; no demure Indian girl she is! "See how she leads the boy, knows how to play her tune, so well sometimes I spy the pair  stand together at the mouth of that dark cave, contemplating mysteries perhaps" overhearing their words, I would cast eyes down as if guilty. Beyond the uppermost rung of the ladder, is the attic I haven't seen it yet, but she is a girl and a woman in one who could see far beyond a boy's ken, she acts her age what her nail marks etched on my skin  is the map of her desires. In our stealthy expeditions through winding paths my lungs get filled with feminine smells that are intense in certain times, our feet become slow and stop without prompt at shaded corners scented by musky orchid blooms, where blue beetles hum amorous tunes, then  longing takes many forms of expressions. She knew the art of looking in to my heart, through the peep holes of eyes, then I hear her whisper as if possessed, "You are full of sweet poetry, it's beats permeate to my body when I hold you closer to my ***** but you need me to make it loud" In the dark attic where the  scent of  black pepper and dry ginger raged she kept her promise, her lips caressed mine,with such urgency my eyes involuntarily, close  tightly and I hear her murmurs it was her way of bringing out my inner poetry, making it flow out such subtle power it had, we rolled uncontrollably on the floor, when we did we sighed together, plunging in to a wonder moment.

In a cave by the ocean burned A man's heart from his chest cavity Carved open, froth from the sea Slipping into his lungs and Smoke from all the guns ever triggered Seeped from behind his eyes, Lips cracked with the truth but spoke Only regret, Mouth forever frozen in enlightenment Sought but not shared, And oh, how the ocean weeps, For messages in bottles mean nothing Without ink.

Teeth Of Caves So Often Hold Truths
I have this creeping ache on the edges of my bones like the way crystal forms, slowly. Like the way prehistoric bugs that live in caves die every day. I think I forgot to close my eyes and woke up blind. I live my days hoping to grow inwards until my bones start the delicate tearing of my skin and water fills my lungs. I have longed for this to happen ever since i was 7 and I heard drowning was the closest you can get to euphoria.
