Aesthesis
Sam the lynx Mar 2019
There, an vivid effigy on my mind,
your lusterous eyes were on me.
Brightness to my pitch-black existance,
sweet remedy for one broken soul.

Together, facing the tides of time,
our unfathomable contingence.
Caressed old wounds yet beat my heart,
all but the smallest fraction of you and I.
True love exists, it’s just broken.

Malicious feast
Sam the lynx Feb 2019
You feed off the unborn,
devouring their souls,
eat their hearts,
and for what else,
than to feel complete.

A poignant notion of life.

Fall forward
Sam the lynx Feb 2019
Take me with you,
back to land of dreams.

Where you’re queen,
and I your king.

Your sweetest voice,
guiding me home.

Don’t leave me behind,
let’s escape our torment.

Together forever.
Until we withered away,

my blossoming viola.

One of these days
Sam the lynx Jan 2019
I’m leaving this place.
Never to return.
For elsewhere, a far away place.
I’m through, with this world,
so have my goodbyes.
Those tuesdays.

Tuesday
Sam the lynx Jan 2019
Old aged flame smother,
sealed off deep within my chest.
Lasting silent shouts.
There’s nobody.

Black star
Sam the lynx Jan 2019
Swelling face, which sees no light,
endless pits, forever descendant.
Caught your knife, skin of thorn,
pierced by arrows, yet love’s lost.
Heart of a dying love.

Focal length
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
A journey awaits ahead of us. Set sails, for the unknown. For it’s a long road, not rid of its obstacles. Songs of joy comes with tears of sorrow, always inclusive. Here’s hoping for lasting moments. Don’t let yourself down. Think of these, as you fall forward in time, into a leap of faith.

Most things hurt
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
Reflective suffering,
all so meaningless.
Life's but a reminder,
of how much it hurts.

Growth
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
I’m locked indoors,
waiting for my plant to grow.
There’s time, ticking heavily,
echoing in the living room.
I’m unable to move,
the room breathes with me.
You know it

I’ll stand by
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
As trains pass by,
I’ll stand by you,
When crows fly
I’ll stand by.
Because without you
I simply don’t exist.

I just threw up.
Viable truth. Memorable mucus.

Mood
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
You’re not drunk, you’re repulsive.
You’re not repulsive, you’re sad.
You’re not sad, you’re a tragedy.
You’re not a tragedy, you’re here.

Chair
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
Distant memoirs, within reach.
A song of reason calling home.
Phantom pain, self-inflicted.
One last whisper,
in moment of bravery.
I hope you understand.

Stone
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
Beneath a turned stone,
you see us scatter.

In the realm of lights-outs and pitch-blacks,
a borough infested, now coloured hazel
and cast into the obscure.
A new world turned inside-out,
a haven upside-down.

We retreat from collision and of collapse
as our dividing landscapes betray us,
rid of light yet chasing the shadow.
In mud, we bathe;
upon another, we climb.

Crumbling sounds shiver us from within
as declining space starts to suffocate.
Though, weep not for I’m but contagious.
Deluded and misconfigured,
fleeting repellents, in need of contamination.

Colour, colour.
The end I see through colours.

Hourglass of souls
Sam the lynx Dec 2018
In the sea of aged descension,
debauchery of tortoises and sea horses,
afloat bottoms up.

With fleeting corals,
wilted they wane,
a familiar millet stops by.

Seeping ashes I breathe in,
treacherous flames I shan’t squelch,
left nothing but void to differ the abyss
from an unfathomable surface.

Tidal deluge washes away.
Deprive me of thy momentum,
for I no longer swim.

— The End —
