and in the morning rise.
You’re the hero of this story
and you will overcome all demise.

Not so happy to be alive
But grateful I’m not dead

And **** ****
Sometimes, **** everything right?

I must runaway from my pride.

Drought of Emotion
Talon Mar 2012
Not feeling so up
Not feeling so down
Mostly just wishing you were around

Feeling a little in
Feeling a little out
Feeling nothing due to an emotional drought

Transcend
Talon Mar 2012
Hopelessly trapped in this poetic state
clawing for the exit
but there’s no escape.
Every moment floods my senses
each word transcends this dimension.

Marionette Strings
Talon Mar 2012
A master puppeteer
Fluent in marionette strings
She tears hearts out
Just after making them sing

Kiss
Talon Mar 2012
Often I am trapped
in prospects of what could be
and this jail
drastically blinds me

While my mind is off
in a reverie
I miss the events
that define my destiny

Kiss me
and bring me back

I no longer yearn to escape this ground
I need you, my anchor, to hold me down

Talon Dec 2011
You don't slit a whole lot other than throats.
And you can command an army of sheep, but not goats.

Jaded by fire,
I play with death.
Let me drink your poison

Afterlife Myth
Talon Feb 2012
I am a ghost–
An afterlife myth.
With no one to believe in me,
how can I exist?

Rational Ruins Fun
Talon Mar 2012
If you’re rational you will ruin the fun
Let’s you and me, girl, go lay in the sun
We don’t have the time
And I know you’ve gotta run
But if you’re rational, girl, you will ruin the fun

On your hearts strings–
Let me play a melodic tune.

Cleansing
Talon Jun 2012
A familiar warmth
washes over my skin.
My mind grows weary.
My soul stretched thin.
I feel heavier,
a certain kind of full.
A wholeness profound.
A cleansing of dull.
Under my skin
there burns a fire.
Embraced by its warmth,
I am lifted higher.

Pursuit of Love
Talon Mar 2012
I am at war with a stubborn heart.
Studious to the movements of this noble art.
The confines of love are intricate and sweet
and it’s a beautiful pursuit;
to sweep a girl off her feet.

placebo dreams.
Talon Dec 2011
Happy is a mirage
An escape from the real
It doesn't exist
But within the confines of a pill
Placebo dreams
Undermine the lesson
In each of mind's scenes
Hides the key to depression
597 · Mar 2012
Kiss
Talon Mar 2012
And through your lips the fire in my soul is transferred.
Our tongues collide
our spirits sour
but still several questions are left unanswered.

Colors
Talon Jun 2012
All that we know
is just red, yellow and blue.
But no color can describe
my feelings for you.

Like the ocean
Dark and deep
You make my soul feel heavy

My bones sighs
My veins weep
And my heart so full—the levee.

Talon Apr 2013
Ripples crawl across
the grass.
Such a delicate moment
like glass.
“Don’t shatter.”
She whispered.
Her words
a rock.
Me,
like glass.
Her actions
deliberate
and
transparent.
She,
like glass.

Elixir That Floats
Talon Mar 2012
Once more it strikes
my heart, against me
I am left to suffer
no victory.

Crisp whispers of elixir float through my soul
Hope’s mystic affects are powerful.

bones aflame.
Talon Dec 2011
His tight skeleton grip
clashed harsh with my skin
His digits lashed for my soul
but I kept it within

Death is vigilant
and consumed by desire
He longed for my bones—
I let them on fire

Journey Into My Mind
Talon Mar 2012
The port we’ll enter is not at sea
the journey into my mind is through a reverie
the approach takes time so you’ll have to spare it
and I must announce reluctance to share it

Sea
Talon Mar 2012
Sea
I live for nothing;
just happy to be.
I’m a drop of water
in the sea.
