Since you ask, most days I cannot remember. I walk in my clothing, unmarked by that voyage. Then the almost unnameable lust returns. Even then I have nothing against life. I know well the grass blades you mention, the furniture you have placed under the sun. But suicides have a special language. Like carpenters they want to know which tools. They never ask why build. Twice I have so simply declared myself, have possessed the enemy, eaten the enemy, have taken on his craft, his magic. In this way, heavy and thoughtful, warmer than oil or water, I have rested, drooling at the mouth-hole. I did not think of my body at needle point. Even the cornea and the leftover ***** were gone. Suicides have already betrayed the body. Still-born, they don't always die, but dazzled, they can't forget a drug so sweet that even children would look on and smile. To ****** all that life under your tongue!- that, all by itself, becomes a passion. Death's a sad bone; bruised, you'd say, and yet she waits for me, year after year, to so delicately undo an old wound, to empty my breath from its bad prison. Balanced there, suicides sometimes meet, raging at the fruit a pumped-up moon, leaving the bread they mistook for a kiss, leaving the page of the book carelessly open, something unsaid, the phone off the hook and the love whatever it was, an infection.

Wanting to Die
Wolves of all, Hear thy cry. Save me from this light. It blinds my cornea. It burns my skin... The melanin darkens. Revealing the Scars. The scars of the past. Have been raised from the dead. Resurrected now, Revealing my sins. Wolves of Old, Hear my cry... Save me from this world. Take me from this life..

Hear thy cry, Scars have appeared
it's only that i want to permeate particles like marie curie did. lay your lungs out on a slab and i will show you intricacies in fissures. i don't know if i want you inside me but i definitely want you inside-out. the aches come on worst in the morning and at night, hold me in those moments like marie curie would. demonstrate an interest in the unseen and i will bring you spectrometry. demonstrate an interest. voices happen all day and i am fixated. that friendly fire barely shows herself at all anymore, only in your absence, like an ill-conditioned cat. i don't know if you noticed but my boots are booking miles. my daemons feed on a seed in my back, so do not wag that tail. do not turn those beads of fleshy water, there are magnets that your cornea can't block. i'm past my half life and you've passed your lethal dose, so don't let me decay into an isotope with half my strength. i'm leaving traces on the walls you can scrape off like brown ice. don't let me decay into a softer neon. hold me tight like marie curie died.

isolating (isotopes)
My anomalous trip thus far has been dichotomous. Harbingers motivate my advent: a chorus. Acceptance of frolic ventures sent: a quest. My sneakers meet familiar soil at last. Designed to be a panacea, yet I fall ill. Sleets of rain impact my soul: a slight chill. Hazed trance, awashed clean of all acrimony. A lurid stroll, downhill, parallel, perfunctory. I, a stoic mercenary, avenging my ties tonight. Arcane magic flow through my veins, my sight. Moisture sparkle, glistens through my mental maze. Resistance, control: I attempt to regain ablaze. Synaptics fuse, burn, misfire, discombobulate. Higher functions remain: calculus, formulate. Veritas! Visual focus be on 2D layer sharp. Disintegrated data sung with melodious harp. Laissez-faire slayed by Communist meritocracy. Mental hierarchy arise from wayward sorcery. My affection for her nets only melancholia. The amity cease... yet reborn by spying cornea. Upon a hill from sea to sea brings forth diplomacy. Lively lads, enshrouded in black; they be prodigies. Persons of worth: one stranger joins their ranks. If my creed offend, beg you pardon pranks. Silent drizzle softly sings of night and majesty. Lament under moonlight, behold gray sanctity. Ne'er shall dreadful turmoil befall our facilities. Literature conceals such divine secrecy.

Felicitous Hindsight
I am writing yet another poem in my attempt to, not lure, but to request for your loving attention. When I woke up this morning, I woke up a failure and I felt dead with every breath I take. I recognized and realized that I have so many undeserving help from people who deserves so much more from me. I should not lay here with comfort but rather with remorse. With regret. With hatred. I feel like I failed in masterminding most of my relationships, be it a social one, a formal one, a normal one, a unique one. Our one. I drove around town, my head spinning much quicker than my 5-spook rims and my 16-inch tires. My thoughts spoke words my tongue could not pronounce. My tongue locked itself up as though my lips were sealed. Night seems like days with flashes of lights and images cutting every cells in my cornea, in my brain. Images of you. So bright were your light. I miss you, let that be known. I am courageous enough for a stanza or two, but a coward I am truly, madly, deeply. But I have a passion for us for we share one common trait that is rather rare. But it is rather unfair that the stairs to your room of hearts stops halfway. Because if I were to bare you and expose the nakedness of your soul you will see yourself transforming into someone you want to be in the glisten of my tear drop, because I see you right through like an arrow leaving the bow. And I know you see me right through like the bow-tie I wear can never hide from you the nervousness I have behind my sleek tuxedo. We share this common love for words, our view of life. We share this unique taste in music, and our unique waste of talent by only having our poems sit on paper and allow it to rot as the paper expel from it's expiration date. We share this weird relationship that we had that I hope I can have back, that I hope you want to have it back too. Nothing is as good a pleasure as having our eyes meet in a slender of a minute; or even a second. But it was enough. It was more than perfection. We were perfect. Weren't we? A mixed *** filled with strange mysterious fervor, Filled with confused but exciting flavors. We were a jumbled jar of unconditional affection for each other. Jumbled and crumbled like a hot *** of chutney. So shall we try again? Let's have a taste of what I've wasted, Let's have our hands stretched out wide, and just hug it out. Just you and me, finally with nothing to hide. Let's stop the cold fight. It's never meant to be. We are always meant to be. Have I already said that I miss you?

A shadow holds me in his grip and seeks the bones that he must find. The grazes of ghostly fingers on myself remind me of my ending youth and the ticking time that is left. I’ve disappeared into the morning fog as the people I love have begun to stare straight through me They strain to look at me although I vanish upon them catching a small glimpse- I am acid to the cornea causing burning blindness and hatred. These bones are brittle and the wind has picked up, the sky is darkening as if to rain and the rainbow day is done. However, the rainbow days were spent as a child whisked to the side to be plucked like a fruit all of the brightness and sweets taken, leaving me dull, laughter drops from me like a stone. I attempt to concentrate on the slivers of light peering through the bars of my own psychological prison cell, but such magnification did not set my heart on afire. Rain droplets taste my skin, unraveling at the ripples as 3 lightning bolts fork through the houses, 7 claps of thunder, 12 bursts of laughter in the house next door and a thousand tears rolling down my cheeks. I suddenly realize that my head was severed from my body days ago while lying sleepless on the worn couch. Each season the garden dies, i die with each, until i die no more- although his death and mine were not the same, we still rot underneath the dirt in worms and earth as the city streets blacken and decompose. The tears cling to the sleeve of my jacket mucus separating with a sticky pull and the dolls and smiles of my life are gone replaced by the headache and the row of cuts on my thighs.

The Satan residing in the cornea, Tries too hard to insist And the continuously contaminated Clockwork fails to resist. The ***** of the aces – Corrupt In a while it will erupt, And puke out disrupt ****** emotions outburst Of unbearable lust. The pubescent plaque Haemorrhages seeds of deeds Culminates all over – the wicked weeds. Seductive seas The mind browses ****** ***** the louses. Engulfed in the trap of crap Cornea turns Pornea.

Pornea
Do not dissimulate from life Lethargy instills apathy Droning everything bores you Nothing gets your blood boiling Truth evades your gray cornea Your persistence is persuasive Petite energy emitted Exhausted to convince numbness You are the youth, the world’s future Dissimulation not an option Wave the white flag. We’ll still wage war Never will you conquer concern My comrades in texts and I’ll fight To give hope, future, and success Or we will perish in battle Content knowing we truly cared PLEASE CARE ABOUT YOURSELF!

Dissimulated Youth
Intrusive image invading unstable imagination Bursting bright bringing bouncing bobbling bits of bubbling illusions into brain A memory of magical messy minutes moseying and mingling A menagerie of magnificent moments miraculously marked in my mischievous mind Coming into chaotic corners of cornea calmly Cruising without cares

Unstable Imagination
Like love At first sight I watched Eden bloom in your eyelids. As my heart beat Richter scales, I was afraid the weight of my breath would sound earthquake and break the snow globes in your eye sockets. For the first time, I wished everything would freeze in the moment our eyes met. When our gaze broke I was shook so hard I could see my dreams floating in air, like snowflakes looking for a place to come true. They found a home on your fingertips and some you even caught on your tongue. Now gardens grow in my cheeks when I sleep, and every time our eyes kiss I drip into the nooks and crannies of your lips. You built me a snowman out of blown kisses and promised it wouldn't melt. And I built you a cottage in my cornea.

When We Met
you are a body in a boat on the lake with the shadows of a million birds over your chest and you are breathing with them all and the waves want you like I want you and we will both kiss the tips of your dripping fingers stretching from your crinkled hand, like all of Tennessee in your palm. oh, how full of fog you are. you are a body in a boat on the lake with that shore covered in rocks, unskipped the plants unpulled, roots unslipped. but as your fingers drip from body to liquid the discs of ripples                      spread to me on that shore holding my own                holy head so little did we know                          (so little did we know) those ripples were not our own but instead the alternating white/blue of iris and cornea of skin and vein of hand and sky                                  (of iris and cornea that all go away                                    of skin and vein that all die                                              of hand and sky) and one day, we will find (beneath the shadows cast by temporary leaves)                        (that all go away our own bones, buried deep              that all die) under the roots.                                                                 (our own bones, buried deep                                                                   under the roots)                                                    and you are breathing with them all

Drip Drip Let it drip rain droplets that stings my face and flows across my sullen face my eyebrows drench my lips moist my eyes surrounded by water where the cornea of my eye became a pool those same wet eyes looking to the heavenly skies of charcoal blocked by branches full of red berries red dots in the sky Like an insane painting I vigorously wave my hands to the sky trying to rid the blood like a car's windshield, stained by someones brain organs spaghetti and tomato sauce the blotches of red from the sky fell like greasy bullets Gravity increased its accelerating piercing my skin infected piercings, my skin turn green one sour green berry slowly fell into my mouth Now I'm finally free.

Neptune Eyed baby I'll admit I'm Light-years past crazy I'd give The Galaxy For you Juniper Burned Haley's Comet as it Lit up our daily Blues Set in our awkward shoes Mind-tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Spark-wet Drenched breaths Under the tree That murdered death I'd make The sun burn For you Grass-stained Sky-dressed You leave me to My obsession's mess-y Blues Set in our awkward shoes Mind tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Violent heart rate In nerve-wrecked state Tempting all fates To go back on their word And I say Goodbye, Cornea, Goodbye And I say I love you, Cornea Goodnight And I say Goodbye, Alice, Goodbye And I say I love you, Alice Goodnight Mind-tight dreaming Garnished with gleaming Silence kept screaming In hope for the breaking word Violent heart rate In nerve-wrecked state Tempting all fates To go back on their word Neptune Eyed baby I'll admit I'm Light-years past crazy For you

I dissected a cow's eye Today. I cut the muscle from the pale ball And cut that alabaster sphere In half. The cornea was as hard as a marble And perfectly round When I lifted it from The ****** pale moon That stared up at my scalpel. It was a returning.

Cow's Eye
Oh mirror, the flattened cornea, Whom do you belong to, dear? -Who love me as themselves. Oh my childhood Barbie, Whom do you belong to, dear? -Who put their breath in me. Oh the young walking stick, Whom do you belong to, sir? -Dependence of helpless old.

The Other Self
I woke up this morning in an orange dystopian world. An eerie darkness filled the room as a faint rusty glow bled through the blinds. Profound silence swept the streets and with it all forms of life vanished. My breath and the beat of my heart were the only things that reassured my existence. A viscosity that of molasses filled the air weighing down gravity itself, or at least it felt like it, as my body lethargically swam back towards the dark depths of the room. The curiosity within me sought external perspective so I dialed into the digital realm. What followed was disheartening to say the least. People from all over questioning if this was the end so nonchalantly, exposing the desolation that’s taken their lives hostage. I ask myself, how is it that we are so quick to **** ourselves? How is it that we’ve grown incredibly numb in a state of great psychological stress? I ask as the answer stares me in the face. Optical dopamine beaming into my cornea penetrating parts of me I thought only I had access too. Altered genetic code, altered state of mind, altered fabric of space and time, altered reality. Still, I cling on to the utopian beliefs that veil my unwavering optimistic heart... and I pray.

2049
There’s a pressure. It’s building, Inside of my head. My skull, it might crack, Soon I’ll be dead. It’s clogging my throat, My nose, Even ears. I can’t breath, I can’t think, I can’t even, Shed tears. My vision is blurry, Like a film, White and thin, Has laid over my cornea. And sunken, Right in. It just keeps on building, And I think; ‘This must be it’ But it just keeps on building, And I’m not, Dead yet.

Pressure
A cigarette filter dangles between the boney knuckles of my middle and index finger Smoke rolls up my hand My head falls to the back of the chair I can smell the pollen drifting from the oak trees They remember when dying for what you believed in was an easy decision A cigarette filter hangs between my lips Smoke rolls up my cheeks Stinging my cornea They have yet to see what it means to hold the hand of a brother you have never met To watch his life become a folded flag A cigarette filter lies in an ash tray The smoke rolling into the atmosphere The cherry red slowly fading The filter has heard the worries of a soldier yet to serve his country A pack of cigarettes lay on a bedside counter Waiting to hear what more I have to say

The American Spirits
I wander upon the pond of my sufferings. I wander freely, misguided and wonder Where these footsteps might lead. Strange dots collide into infinite dots, Then divide into answers shaped as knots. They are paths I don't want to seek. I dived too deep into this obscurity, too deep. The weight of my inner world Keeps crushing my feet. They can't run any longer For my heart beats too weak, I don't intend to hide under, Just need a place to sleep. My soul craves for the silence of katharsis And I can only dream of a deserted oasis, When time was only a clear drop, A time when I was me and you were you... I should stop writing this, I should stop. Can't deny my letters miss writng your name, They miss you a lot. Innocence was written on the warmth Of our holding hands And smiles embraced the air Of our own molded lands. I've lost myself In this "fear-hate" game. I've come to my end In my mind's jungle, There's no escape train. Nightmares became too often real In my awaken mornings rays, Despite rainbows of sounds and joly colours, Demented wounds and bruises never heal. So here I am... Thrown on this arsenic pond My life ends here - Death is born. Don't blame me, My beloved one. You see Miracles don't happen for me, For the lost times I felt undone. I shall find my sleep In this lifeless area. Between these scarlet whispers, Between garments of memories From the back of my cornea. These are my last invalid words To you... I will be lost in my mistakes hue, Forever lost, forever unwritten.

Unexpectedly he has been cracked Squarely across his dainty skull Inevitably to his knees he languishes Supplemented by a concussion Havoc is illicitly wreaked upon the delicacy Of this young man's psyche As another swift, sucker punch is executed Stylishly into his jawbone Followed by an unforeseen series Of frenzied jabs to the nose The anguish screams through the brooks Of crimson oozing from his nostrils While a dangerous haymaker Shockingly arises from thin air Sinking fiercely into his cornea Rupturing the veins in his eyeball A circular crown of black envelops The entire surface of his left eye Oh, the gruesome consequences of Applauding the eminence of nonexistence A truculent knockout that will truly Abduct one into an eerie coma And rightfully deliver them back to The portion of reality where they belong

*Not everything I can make into a poem like the sky just after rain her embroidered smile its minutest hem in her shade of cornea a grain of pain! Not everything I can make into a poem like wind eddies from wings of bird her amorous veil that stokes my flame in her lips’ quiver the unuttered word! Not everything I can make into a poem like the heron’s swoosh on the moon of marsh her endless aroma without a name in her eyes the million stars! Not everything I can make into a poem like when perches the bird on nest her flushed cheeks in love game in her kiss the sea salt’s taste!*

Not everything I can make into a poem
the apple is pupil plus cornea or maybe the magnetized pole in pacific sea, pinhole or some sinkhole in a shelf of split ice. my flamboyant sadness smells of citrus and paint thinner. what if i painted my future kid’s walls that color. what if i could talk to the three-letter word that is one letter. a hole in a hollow is also me and an eye and the middle of the riddle. and the eye is echo not rhyme, linked like a low keen from sea to sea, or a fruit bruised perfect blue. beginnings can be magnetized, too. i try not to think of ice when i’m with you.
