#diminished
The Sun is flaring,
Life's not seafaring
It's hot magma time
For disappointments.
Care you for love,
Then redrill once,
Twice or three times
Into that well.
Wellbeing
Swells up
To the max,
Feelings
Are mood
Flares!

Quiet calm proceeds dawn
Dawning with suns hush
Hailing without some words
That only parrots know
Knowing words can be sung
As the daylight comes up.
Night owls hoot softly
Ready to sleep days
While mists lay lowly
On ponds that ripple
Fish sending up airs.
Bubbles pop up
Like spoken words
Air is required
To give them sound.
Whisper winds
Through willows
Wishful spells
Spelling
Hello.

Ten acres of new ideas
Not being all written down
Down from mind to paper
Peculiar problem we writers have
Holding them impossible as clouds.
Caring for the words
Wishing it was easy
To corral them all
At one's own command.
Coping with gaps
Of time torn
By online grids.
Come hither
Says muse,
Daily!

A shovel in one hand, a seed in another,
I know it'll be a flower, not anything other.
Though, you ask me what it is I think I'll see,
"A flower.", and you say "How can that be?".
I know what I'm planting; but you question it so,
If you're not the one planting it how would you know?
You say I'm wrong about what it'll grow into,
You keep implying and I start to think it may be true.
I no longer show you any of the flowers I grow,
When I did, you refused to see what I showed.
I'll keep them a secret, mine from now on,
It's no longer your place to tell me what I plant is "wrong".

Cut the limbs
off a boundary
of trees,
and the police come running.
He was more supported--
there was evidence--
twisted branches
on the ground--
video of it
in action.
It took three days
to go from comfort
to sorrow--
she who freed me
also made me
a ghost.
My i
diminished--
blood on all
my four walls.
I'm still
the only one
who sees red.
His wife doesn't seem to care.
She can always deny
everything
and stick her head
in another book.

No.
That’s all i need to say to make something stop
Why care for the things that once mattered in the past
When the ones that mattered in the past didn’t come to last
Honestly, it ***** to ****
We live this life with no breaks nor shortcuts
Suicide is simply an illogical solution
Doing so would diminish my own resolution
I’m growing tired and brittle
I may not be old but i’m hollow
No, not to be edgy in any matter
I wouldn’t care if you went and bantar
If you view me having the lack to emotion
Somewhat of a form of entertainment
I wouldn’t blame you
I invite you to do it
Know that I’ll give no reinvigoration
For your own amusement.

Deceit you speak all the while
Knowing I know and how I feel.
Thrashing scars upon my flesh,
God knows they'll never heal.
Mistrust and doubt,
Lies and hidden truths;
All the same and all coming from you.
It's all that I can do not to shout.
My nerves clenched tight,
Can't you hear them scream?
I say to you, you're right, as I
Try to bury my truest emotions.
Being who you want is merely a dream
Inconceivable madness;
Pure in love and intricate filth.
Already weary souls, encumbered with The weight of every lie.
White lies, black lies; colorblind
Lucidity comes without pigment
All the flickers of light;
Can't you see them?
They call my name and wish
To carry me away.
Love and lies and passionate cries
Have brought me to endless insanity
No one left to save me.

I've loved you too hard.
It WAS your fault.
You gave me everything I needed.
Heart turned mush, most would revolt.
I loved you too hard.
And you told me you loved me more.
But what am I to do with this.
A heart petrified and sore.
I've loved you too.
And you gave it back times four.
A heart unloved.
You returned it to the store.
I loved you.
I cared for you more than self.
Demons nawing at my will.
Im unable to release you, help.
I love you.

By following the light,
You will break yourself.
You will be punched and pushed,
And stretched to lengths
you never thought you could venture.
But you will survive.
The light saves you from that decaying part of you that would be your demise.
It heals you and makes you whole.
By destroying you,
and putting you back together.
***Tighter.
Stronger.***
--
*A new day,
A new person.*
You rise from the fire;
The flames lick your skin.
They feel warm,
And you feel rejuvenated.
You are reborn from fire, from the light,
And light you become.
--
The darkness is repelled by your presence;
You have broken free of your deficiencies.
By conquering your demons,
You have proved yourself above the dark.
The blackness is trapped beneath your feet,
It can never control you again...

Today was nothing more
than a woeful echo
of my life yesterday.
And the same is true for
every day I have lived
ever since I gave up.
I don’t remember
what led me down this
lonely desolate
path of nihilism,
of self-destruction.
I don’t recall
a time I felt
differently.
Blank mind. Blank walls.
So I wait,
stoic, numb,
as silence
descends
upon
me.
