Shadows bounce as the candle flickers. No one is safe at night. Trees stand guard, warning outsiders: Beware of those who claim they are right. Death, silence, and consequences come with light.

Warning: Claims
Angel of anguish, take this from me. your feathers brush away my sins, but your talons carve my guilt into my chest. sweet Angel, carry me to oblivion, rest your head in the lake of inaction, tasting wordless pleas. eyes, eyes, they say they never lie. but you have none, only an empty promise lay in your skull.

drop of blood in fire, trickles down the flame - loyal; the covenant smirks.

Darkness made clearer By the accretion disk of a collapsed star Gravity is a force that binds us now: Defining how strong we are In our weakness we could not resist Compelled towards a rift in the sky distorting reality A monstrosity not even light can escape The irony being that we can assuredly See our fate Time slowed down as we neared it soon it simply froze We sailed past the event horizon -onward toward a secret that through fear: not even time is willing to expose The nose of our vessel ripped apart Ejecting us from the safety of our ship, "The Noah's ark" Unable to atone for the embryos aboard we had lost we drifted alone, Together, in the dark rushing head first towards the heart of oblivion The mission escaped from our mind as tidal forces began spaghettifying our skin This wasn't the first time A few seconds felt like They would never end Our destiny swallowed by a black hole in outer space Consuming our only hope to restart the human race Yet in this place I feel peace we are shown a secret that no man should ever see Right before I desist Collapsing Into that eternal nascent sleep Something from beyond the singularity, speaks... I close my eyes.                    "Such sweet release."

The singularity speaks.
Ever green the blue grass grows Sitting now on jester hill Nonsense spins to nonsense new And only if she ever knew Colors pop and fade again And soon the willow wind blows blue Sit 'neath the leaning tree that weeps Follow then the hummingbird Onward, step with grace and care Ignore the cat that cannot blink He cries to a moon that died Its last breaths drawn in later months Rest now but do not lay to long Get up again when the crow has come If still you lie when the sun is up Only your bones will remain

The creaking boards, leading to the endless fog The smell of salt The crack of the waves, seem like a distant memory The only noise comes from the boards and the birds The smoke, white as snow, consumes me as I near the end of the peer I could only stand and stare

Oncoming
And I know you don't want another friend, Said you weren't fuckin' with my guys again, And now you're all up on me it's all lies ye, But it don't bother me cause you're all mine ye... (x2) It's taken so long just to have you on my own, So won't you come here to the side, Ye I'll talk it up but **** it times runnin' out, So I'll have to give it up ye... We-both-know we'll fall in love, I catch you in your eye, You've been on it so long, Got me feelin' so high, Got me feelin' so whole, Girl you stole my heart, Bet you wanna go low cause... And I know you don't want another friend, Said you weren't fuckin' with my guys again, And now you're all up on me it's all lies ye, But it don't bother me cause you're all mine ye...

It's All Lies
She liked sweatpants, just like her mother did She wore them her whole life She told him how much she hated when people tried taking them They always tried stealing them He stained the sweatpants though Her favorite sweatpants The one she waited months for to get She tried not to think much of it Then he stole her sweatpants She didn't get why She made it so clear of how much she disliked when people did that But he did it anyways Why couldn't he ask? It was just a simple question It was what she held on to the most He took it away She misses those sweatpants She misses how it felt when she did have them Her favorite sweatpants she wore her whole life was gone forever And there was nothing she could do to get it back

The Sweatpants
Is that danger in the distance? Or do my eyes deceive? **** Like dark clouds gathering above mountains. Like how the young see their futures. (Though it's not like the world hasn't been ending this entire time. In billions of years the sun will explode. In hundreds, our planet will be just dust and stone, and the bones of industry. And at my rate I'll self-destruct by sixty years of age. But) what is this thing that sticks and stings and irks like a mirage? Not the flavor of fingers dipped in deliciousness. Not the freshness of a newborn babe. Not the scent of flowers. Not feet in a hot bath. Not fumbling a lovers face, frolicking through foxglove fields, flitting a fiery frevo, finishing first. No, none of that. It's not a thing, but a feeling. Fear Fear Fear And it sticks and stings and irks, like a mirage. - by Aleksander Mielnikow | Alek the Poet

A Warning
Not all light has a source. Some streets travel in freight cars city to city to be extra-urbanistically unravelled, oppidan rugs unrolled for you and me, Only upon close inspection we see that the perspective lines fail to meet, A top shadow has spilled. Tread carefully, Although a flag blows, the street is empty, What lives in all these abandoned buildings? you may ask but no one will answer. I wander here searching for who pulls the strings of this, our cleverly falsified world, But quick look now how the light breaks the rules, They already roll up the street—the fools!

Mystery and Melancholy of a Street
How can this be "Happy birthday" to me When anxiety and fear Has been so near And now finally upon me? It feels as though there is something to flee But what, I know not Possibly just a passing thought That this day was so ominous The potential for darkness But all that lingers is confusion Were my anxieties but an illusion? Wishes to me from those around But I can only hear one sound A heartbeat Then the patter of feet Upon the hardwood floor A knocking at the door "Happy birthday to you!" Everywhere I turn But it's anything but- It feels as though I'm being suffocated Drowned out and forced down Into a seat In front of a small burning heat Just to listen to them sing While I sweat a ring Then extinguish it Have a bit Of the sweet below it Smile for the camera Watch them as they smother you Tell you what to say and do Some say the Best things come in time Say a little rhyme Until the day comes to an end. - Jay M May 7th, 2020

"Happy Birthday" To Me
You feel the burning within, no? The festering of your morality? There is nothing so infinitesimal as the meaning of your existence. But don’t despair, child. Fear is a construct of your own mind. Will you conquer it? Or will you die like a dog? Better to leave this world covered in blood than in tears. Smear your shame on a canvas and call it art When we all know that you cannot capitalize on your suffering But I ask, do not stop Watching you walk the fine line between reason and madness is tantalizing I know you hate me, love. I can feel your anger seethe from your body and ooze out of every pore. Your mind rots from the fermenting emotions inside. You want to carve me open. Watch wine spill on the floor, coating everything in a sickly shade of red. Shatter the glasses and pierce your skin Blood is so bright, a stark contrast to the black and white nature of our vision Splatter the walls in red, just to have something organic decorating your walls Show the world the artist you are Paint your face in your medium Pick up your brush Tears in your eyes, blurring your view Can you finish the task? Will you survive outside of this world? Can you escape your own decay? But it is getting late. The sun is setting on many things, and you don’t have much time. You cannot **** me in any way that matters, so stop trying. I will always be with you. A guide. Mapping the void for you. So do not fret, dear. Your soul will be dealt with the hour is right. No god can save you from the fate I have in store for you.

The rain keeps falling As dry as a drought.                        “ *Rain drops heavier than water,                            When it’s laden with doubt.* “ He said,                        “ *The ground simply can’t hold it                                      … So it must go without.* “                *” You’ve never known water to stain,                   But you’ve never felt this kind of rain.                   It’s thicker than your skin.                   It stains your clothes and what’s within.                   It sounds like hammers as it pounds -                  And yet, the ground won’t let it in.           So it flows like a river that only gets bigger;           It runs like a force that knows no remorse.                      Despite endless efforts to stop it -                      It still runs like a faucet…                                         With nowhere to drain. "* But if the ground holds no plants, is the water so vital? Is the rain’s sole purpose this lifeless recital? The ground stays so strong. It holds fast, like pure stone But can one stay so long when one’s so alone? When one is forced to move,                Will the ground or the rain? And when the first one has gone,                Will the other remain? For now, they coexist, Each facing a challenge it can’t resist - Both unstoppable and immovable,                               They hopelessly persist. As complements, they combine                         With the product of a flood. But the water that’s collecting                         Has the consistency of blood. There’s a heart behind this water. It pulses, instead of flowing. So you turn to the only man you know,              for parting words with danger growing. And he says, as you leave:                “ *I wish you luck where you are going.                    My son, you’ve only seen the rain . . .                     . . . The winds are not yet blowing*.

Ominous.
It's late Or early Depending on Your perspective Not doing great A little too lonely Reflecting on My prerogative Tranquility Eluding Me Serenity Exuding See? I'm a comet Falling from the stars But the ground is far I'm coming in hot This impact is going to be hard Boom Splat Oh What? A little too dark? Some times I can't believe The **** that happens to me The more I get hurt The funnier it becomes This hilarity It's scaring me I can't tell if this is real I'm not sure But I think..... ..... I think I'm forgetting how to feel.

How to Feel
You know It's rare When I feel like I like myself Because every time I get excited I get shot down Crash and burn And once again Sadness ignited You know It's sad To think so highly of myself Only to be told No You're not good enough You're too nice Too mean To distant To clingy So quiet But oh so annoying It's rough You know It's not easy Having these conflicts Deep inside They never subside Knowing what I want to say But also knowing I have no right to speak But in my mind I just can't hide From you You know Your presence alone Can lift me up Out of this prison In which I lock myself Of course this is something I can't tell you at present So I suffer silently So sure I was Of this serendipity I was wrong Now an epitome Of stupidity I close my lips You know I don't know What the future holds I've spent so much time On my own My heart is screaming For someone to hold But alas It seems I'll always be alone...

Silence caught unawares
Some times I wonder Some times I think Some times I ponder Am I on the brink? It seems so simple But is it really? A heart is delicate And mines the epitome It's barely holding together In a messed up jury rigged state Made presentable With safety pins And a lot of tape When ever I start to feel The way she makes me I think is this real? 'cause it feels like a dream I want to know What makes her tick I want to know What makes her sick Somebody better check me Quick I'm catching feels And I can't catch my breath My heart thumps And I reel Feeling feathery Frightfully fearing While furiously fighting Figuratively of course.... This finesse at finding Fiery finality Kind of makes me hesitate So commiserate Emancipate And resuscitate Let's conversate And enjoy the ride
