My dearest friend in stone hardened loan of assumption Creating safety While boarding all And in desperate We are sworn To answer for the nail so soft The contrite response A structure taken Misused and demolished As though derailed All manners of sculpture Left for exposure

The Condolences In Stone
mire is mire, and has ever lain as mire. yet what hand dares to sink, and rive this woeful gyre? what was ad before the mire? did hands ever lure the quire, or whorl within the abyme skein, that scends beneath, and plaits the lyre?

If you ever wish to know who you are, Look at your company. See what you will do When your life falls and you are in agony. Take a stroll, a place or two See how your body will hold The way you act and talk; Show your disciplined mold. You don't need to look for progress Your result will show it. Your comprehension of hard times, Tell the mindset you've built. You thoughts and ideas Embrace the way you talk, How you treat others, Or even the way you walk And in no time should you need, An appraiser or critic. All you need is a mirror and mind, And an idea to stick.

See Yourself
the fear that binds the wall that hides the truth is non logical but rational divides the self and keeps me aloof must be named but not shamed to make me whole it serves a use that has no use fear is the function of the wound the causation of confusion and its taken root

Skin and Bone
You would say something about the push and pull of every day. And we would plop down with ideas. Think of this and think of that. Throwing words like imagine and wouldn't it be amazing out into the open. You would even make plans, with patterns and colours for something to go on your wall, your own wall, whenever you'd have a wall. How many of those open docs do you have on your computer, with half-finished chapters and riveting denouements? I know it's hard to believe the people we once used to be. And sometimes fistfuls of carpet can feel like your only way to grip onto the world. Sometimes it feels easier to tear yourself limb from limb than look for your voice. It feels easier to sink into your bed, asleep or searching for sleep than to walk the miles ahead. Waking up every morning, de-shelling yourself, and stepping outside of who you are and used to be can make your bones ache deeply. There isn't much to say about the push and pull of everyday, except that there is a wall, your wall, and it's blank.

Rubiks Cube
Internally, she crumbles. She doesn't know where she's been the past few months. Living in a bad nightmare. Depersonalization. Derealization. As the robot mask of herself pulls her along. Drags her through it. As her personality fades, Sense of self depletes. Others question why, or why she couldn't have prevented this. "You should have known better" - A phrase that feels like a dagger piercing her heart. Blame Shame Fault. She's a bird with a broken wing. Mere months ago, this wasn't the case. She was a bird soaring high. Felt helpful, useful, proud. Ecstatic to be using her knowledge for good and supporting and advocating for those she cared about most. Using her intelligence and learning. How dare you shame her blame her. She has more guts and strength than you'll ever know. She conquered darkness, a feat few can say. She built a life worth living, and now that's slipping away. So call her flakey Call her stupid Judge her all you want. But she knows she is powerful courageous brave insightful reflective A force to be reckoned with A phoenix rising from the ashes. She'll shut other voices out Listen to herself Come to terms with her self doubt and forge forward reclaiming her Self

I don't want you have no difficulty, With the things you're still in motion for. Likewise those you have emotion for, Physical love. Those who came before, Those you still adore, and new flames You think offer more.

There's A Time Where The Sea Gets Rough
I'd much rather Critique as I rein king when I put on that hat As he lain before me is subject to my snarling Picking his hair from my giblets and jams. For to create creates your own undoing To look before oneself and watch as aristocrats pluck pimples from your own potatoes.

Court of owls New ink, new shoes Clocks on, I'm about to run it Fast as my pain's Timeframe, bout to gun it I hope you feel something better my man, ***I'm feeling something I'm feeling something better than planned*** Tuck in the winter, dam i fall into action springing past Morty and summer While I'm watching TV slumber shaking off chains of reactions is it a new start call it innov8ing or maybe to our past Definistrating memories,  atoms alternating like the world sputters aspirating Spit split straight portals compensating I'm drunk on Dark matter ever oscillating the wind turned to me just so it could turn on me Judgment for eternity Experience is the same it howled with certainty MY Experience denied 3x so now you hear me? from this judgment I'm always ripping free I don't generate art so you can whip at me I might penetrate stars The universe is an artist so Why does it  ****** us Aint the universe ever even heard of us? I'm the passenger and still woozy the sickness feeling the pressure but I gotta be a witness compassionate, no judgment we all have our reasons ~Got a spot that I  keep w33d in Hidden with the green stem bleedin we may have different heavens but we come from the same soil When others decide our emotions Got so many reasons for defense, reach out and tipped it for the deflect emotions reflect the deficit of me breathe I just shake my head so heavy, I need rest Court of owls Port of vowels I am Born of miles So I adult when you consult the Occult knowings the lotion but still decomposin all this is music I just need to recompose it Saved another life Now the reaper owes it I think I've got amnesia, Waking up to Sir you had a seizure Eyes always look like Man...I wouldn't wanna be ya Empathy is another form of slavery we sign up for We live and we learn Boomerang on the mic I go and return But its not just about living well its about knowing the root of life its Taking the threads in your hands to rack the rains and crack the chains Caught in the dream, my ego forgets Sleep is such a shy death ***Court of owls Port of vowels I am Born of miles in the Korn of howls***

oh, how i wish i could be those girls in miniskirts those girls who make 360 turns in their Range Rovers those girls who have boyfriends in perms those girls who never recycle those girls who party all night and never see real struggles those girls who find opportunities on their rich stepdad’s floor those girls who walk lightly cause they’re attainable   but those girls die early due to their depression they overdose on medication cause the media’s attention is too unconventional they scream into their pillows at night and cut their tongues to make an effort to be silent they kick and punch, but the world has no sympathy they get discarded and left for the next best thing and so maybe i don’t wanna be those girls i wanna stick to my world where normal isn’t boring, it is a staple and in a world where the only thing the future holds is the future not sick and twisted girls in miniskirts

those girls
the dog resting peacefully in his crate is content with being shut in; essentially         trapped only permitted freedom               at the behest of another there was not always such serenity behind these bars; there was howling                   gnashing                   whining caged like that could not have been further from finding comfort there were rewards on occasions though it was unclear just why these were offered and when the next might appear with time it became easier to simply accept the limitation and wait unenthusiastically for the next moment of joy to come around however long that      might                be

let sleeping dogs lie
You sit on your porch swing, miles away Making shapes out of streetlights Dancing in the dark Looking for remnants of a red sun Chasing after silver moonlight A pen in your hand Poetry on your tongue But the wind catches sight of you, Carrying the words away And everything remains unspoken

BE TEMPTED When you find your morale up and down like a roller coaster, it's because you lack confidence in yourself. Never lose focus, adhere to concentration, subscribe to pay attention. Only gut could lead the way, be dared to do somewhat that seem most difficult. Be tempted by your greatest goal make it fall for you. #c9_fm

# *Your soul's movement is everything.. my sin;  when made manifest, a particulate-- (when breathed in, there is a certain freedom within it) Within view of the altar stone all  hidden knives, become fully known (and, alas, my love-- there's no ram  in the thicket) Beautiful, within the endeavor though still vastly distant-- (what a fool I make of myself trying to make this thing, rhyme by having the audacity to use the word, Covenant.) Maybe, I-- your long-lost,  supplicant   has been  nothing more than a deeply-embedded, replicant. (or something)..* #

silentium incarnatum
Your heart rests in the palm of your father's sacrifice. Your breath rests in the nostalgic wind that passes by him When he remembers his past and reflects on your future. Your colours run down the lines of your mother's smile, Whenever she raises her hands to the sky, Praying for you and a little more time, Because she left her beating heart back home, To become foreign and unknown only so you could grow. Their complexions are painted with fatigue, Because when you're sound asleep, they run toward bordered walls, so that when you wake up in the morning, There will be open doors at your feet. When a nostalgic wind passes by them, They'll tell you stories of their childhood, And they'll leave each word, With a taste of reminiscence, A hint of stolen years reflected in the teardrops, That rest in the corner of their eyes, And yet when they look towards you, In seconds your reflection overshadows everything they once used to dream. All for you...

To the Child of an Immigrant
Pain causes friction within It pierces the souls of men Gladdens the hearts of sadists Impoverishes the minds of the feeble Who feels pains? Tears symbolises modern humanity Contradicts happiness and sadness A bitter sweet flavour of the eyes Pure like raindrops. Who likes tears? Difficulties weaken the strong As she walks majestically to glory After several trials of error. Ladder of failures epitomises difficulties Who loves difficulties? Scar sets the tone of recollection The clothes of men gives it a royal apparel When the eyes of the beholder recounts the ordeals of the scars Who adnires scars? © June 2020
