Whispering amongst ourselves
reciting incantations
proclaiming proclivity
while **** stirs
caustic to repertoire
indecisive to belief
creating choices
to avoid time
in our space
Torak Feb 2019
Aimless in all that isn't,
finding myself along the marginals
while limelight is too sour
to make lemonade
breaking even improbable
with weight serrated
worthwhile; a high
that has been sought
stretching and searching
unwilling to contend
waiting and wondering
whenever it wills
Torak Jun 2018
Aimless yet forceful
paradoxing symphonies
written within the milliseconds of a blink,
spiraling sanity nicknamed hurricane,
ignorance deciding which,
where hesitations hold universes all in themselves.

Fixating incessanties  
as if perception is a
prescription of consciousness,
waiting for sense to be deposited
uptook
Claustrophobic in open areas
where loneliness stands
and sticks to skin
an unscrubabble tattoo
stories told
never heard
Torak Mar 2018
Incorrigibility being the high never worth chasing
while watching the same mistake repeat
a broken record for the deaf
where wondering is criminal
the good guy was never golden
tar black  just better at glimmering
Diamonds are created under immense amounts of pressure
over limbs of time
fetishizing patience
Watching everything obsess what it is not
futility is too humid to vacation in
Torak Jan 2018
married misanthropically
disproportionate in personality
the indifference is enough
to make anyone nostalgic for balance

humorous how we search
for the things outside
of our box

all the while staring at it
from the holes
inside of our selves

paranoia proves incessant
when dating doubt
becomes a priority

personifying characters
we never chose to be
in hopes of being more
than another shell
at the beach
Torak Dec 2017
while the feeling becomes transparent
the lines become opaque
yet translucent where they overlap
involuntary nausea becomes a
daytime mugging
metaphors sour
similes slur when smiles slip
hesitations are noxious
when desire is omnipotent
worthwhile is a conversation
we avoid with ourselves
sacrificing sanctity for sanity
or what we believe it to be

Drinking for an
unquenchable thirst
ironic but desperate nonetheless
half empty
half full
it will still be drank.
Torak Dec 2017
Narcotic haze
distracting yet
influential
while i'm below it

radiating confusion
where madness
becomes comfortable

drawing out of the lines
only to erase them
with a sigh of relief

draining blood from a stone
synonymous with
making it worthwhile

while fury grips
tethering edges
tilting consciousness
the see-saw will break
before anyone gets off
