Raven Feels Mar 2
can you redeem me passionate of the past
or was it just a tune rambling behind my back
I told you all about it and so
so, who do you think would be the death of my cloak
pacing in between
some wants and some necessities
I dangle my heart to the fire
it darkens a little bit more each time
tell me about your day
about the way which you resemble your own self
even when staring at an empty shelf
that was once bearing every letter
every sense
who do you smell
when the pillow to your head comes to rest
when the sip of the tea dries in your mouth
a taste you only blend
Jupiter disguises itself
and the sea brings its way to ankle dense
lines justifying the reason of their immense
and the sand clatters between platters
what do you swallow instead?
SILENCE feeds itself
being as loud as chaos itself
and chaos feeds its calmness being as loud as
silence
ITSELF
in what heart do you choose to dwell IN?
in what night do you choose to blend in?
weren't you the dark itself
why are you counting yourself in?
separating your shadow from the layers underneath
when they are from the within
hollow shadows in between
clustered clouds branching themselves somewhere in
do you redeem yourself a stranger from the world you're in
because it doesn't really seem that you've ever belonged anywhere between its thins
pour your cup of beer
or maybe that of gin
the wine frustrates the heels
and the beer lingers to the kin
drag yourself to the scene
before the scene drags you in
wood cuts on your spleen
do you regret breaking in?
far from the entire sheen?
ever invited? ever been?
questions redeem themselves, they redeem
thoughts to the drawers that they've never twinned
I've been spaced to the blocking ring
I've been hung at the wall to sing
pinned to the glass windows to be heard
found myself picking up some sherds
time is moving in reverse
I thought it was rehearsals
turns out this is IT
been imitating someone who's never been
been impersonating the moon from the tornado within
been devastating her on shrooms and downgrading her sin
she never was a sinner
it was all swirling in a bin
empty look on her face
do you feel the taste
of yellow scatters splotching down her cheeks they trace
dance to the disco wave
it's all a matter of waste
till you find yourself arranged
by means of a director's vision of amaze
amuse the ones for change
and yourself you come to drain
I've never been trained
but I found myself on the train
I never knew another way
dragged by the feet to its lane
hair tied to the window pane
smelling wooden floors
do you pay?
I've been stranded
I've been astray
serving a chromoluminarist banquet
with a painted wall pamphlet
hanging plates on the wall
for people to watch and supposedly
link it all
do you know whom to call
when you find yourself in utter free fall
I've waited, swirling at the ball
but now I'd rather swirl till I'm all
done with myself to want to fall
finding myself swept by my laces
to the corners of a bed
on a pillow with sun traces
to be eclipsed by lunar phases
and depleted from falling vases
mistreated by sleep and mazes
steps fail
defeated, but I AM SATAN

do you come to dwell
under six feet of plundered space
where the moon just shun
and the sun has won the race
folders of thoughts are stacked to the waste
the pen of rust it tastes
for the writing on the wall to pace
like swirling bullet holes looming across my face
I can't speak of this place
I can't speak of this maze
for by the time I've been there
I'm even amazed
are you slightly fazed?
when an elevator changes the case
mysterious eyes ask the ones of craze
"how do you function_when the past you bathe?"
when the dash IS the haze

If words won't remember us

perfection of silence
when the perfection of words fails

was it the stage that allowed the surreal?
or was it always...

an object out of time
doesn't work
a person out of time
merely exists
stepping inside
cease to persist
blurs the line
bleaks the mind
teal fog
purple dye
black holes
a whole night
repetition molds
fool the lie
float in cold
questions sigh
dressed in gold
rust the inside
out of context
out of time
exiled notions
a simple line
felt
conditioning piles
glowing bones
to the melt
in a while

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, leave it all behind>

directed by architectural mazes
whole lots of concrete phases
come find the place we're in
we swim in gazes
bathe in shadow traces
when left is sea
and mountains wherever you'd spin
shuffling streets
baffled cars
always heading somewhere?
really?
never made it to Mars?
never fogged out and parked out there
beating the wheel
and walking the streets
for driving on grid sheets
covered by the tallest coat
stumbling the west coast
still so naked and bare
the edges of land
you've known by heart like a palm of hand
they never seemed to care
they were always there
you'll be gone
descending the stairs
they'll remain hung
hung and they swear
but a tear fell, it fell and teared
right from my fears it dwelled
the wind swelling at my hair
between chaos and crystal clear
stay or leave?
in its shadow I scream
died, dead
just by the emptiness of a walk
by how the streets were sheer
it was a dabbling feel in mere
the end was here
and the end was near
dead eyes we bleed
dead eyes we share
