Elevate me, bring me to a separated plane,

That would culminate my thoughts from somewhere between spiritual and deranged.

But ok, debunk yourself from stable,

From making magic between the tragic epiphanies; reversed serendipity to cradle.

This traffic of ideas tesselate the snake train,

Elaborated in definitions of tapestry and fake names.

Wallflower, with no protest to bonemeal,

Kaleidoscope of diets from eggshells and chlorophyll.

Hmmm, this brain food's a drug inducing misdirection, that holds no compass but somehow still sheens a cruel reflection.

Of course, consolidated losses, juxtapose the crosses,

Sway the form of faith to a diluted array of traits. +

And when the gullets a game for gross concoctions,

It's obvious isolation and failure seem the only options.

But anyway, with a sober mind still intact,

I could follow lines of letters from loosely to exact.

Clearly there is no sure thing, especially when the puppet contorts to the willful rhythm pulling at his own strings.

Look how far we've come, from willing to unable, that would shatter any semblance of cards still on the table.
(20 minute poetry)

We're supposed to open the air vent,
cement ourselves to the oxygen supply?
and pray tell me why?

I want to float in the endless avenue of an infinite space
live in the vacuum with enough room to manoeuvre.

But we've been conditioned to breathe and think it's an automatic reflex,
an impulse they say.

Sour thoughts to start and my day starts this way,
they're ******* the life from me
and keeping me in poverty

in the underground sea we all drown together
tethered to a millstone
ground into bonemeal
fed to the slaughter
wholesale
and
when those rivers of Babylon run dry they'll **** on the sand,
landed gentry they may be
but no touching the forelock for me,

just leaving somewhere which is just about anywhere
and everything I am,
sticking to a plan which is as yet unclear
holding on for dear life even though life is cheap and
somewhere is just where I weep.

a dreamer Sep 17
hands occupied with blessings can’t hold any grudges
i live vicariously through the cuts on my knuckles
i wear a vision of war, recorded tears, and crocodile scales
glass embedded in my fists, wings made of scrap metal
in the screen, imps grin
hyenas dig the flesh of innocents out of their fangs
i hate the laughter of walking bonemeal, recanting their wicked speeches
inside my eyes are shards of a righteous sword
the sun breathes beauty, beauty that can not pierce my hide
flowers in my esophagus, but thorns are only what i speak
they cut the roof of my mouth on the way out, and blood tattoos my teeth
disgust is written all over her face; she only wants flowers, petals that smell of peace and love
she bleeds nectar, and her tears are a finite resource, a tragedy
my breath is eternal
war-torn knives are all i can muster, and my scales are caked with justice
i speak to birds, and they melt, leaving only steaming flesh and shattered bones
i am a venom breather, and my cure is tasting the heart of hate
