ink
poetry isn't poetry anymore
it didn't always used to be about artifical ink on a screen
it was about the paper stained ink
the paper that makes you think
the blank page seen as a challenge to those who knew about storms
a blanket on the cold nights you thought you'd freeze to death
ink was a super power
now turned into a machine
automatic
artifical
when it used to be just art
memories that started with a pen
a treasure hunt
all through time square
times there were ink stains in the bathroom on the floor
bike riding in your mind leving a trail behind
but screens go treasure hunting for you
ink staind
be sane
report button when you don't filter who you are
i don't need to filter my blood stains
machins don't poetry for you

Now Blue sat at the bar ****** out of his mind
hand on an empty glass
pulling paper from the bottle label
at that moment
Sarlet walked in and sitting down beside him did order
a gin or two leving red lipstik on every glass
looked at him
and said what's the matter with you
Blue replied I am down
me to Sarlet said
and far as I can tell them two went on
to have three Purple babies.

And that's all you need to know about C o l OURS.

As i walk through the empty streets
With a weight of the world on my chest
Feeling the long lost love
When will i find my rest
Roaming through these dark thoughts
Consuming all the bad things
It seems im forever lost
It seems i wont be able to feel joy that life brings
And when all comes chrusing down
With the most beautiful sound
Im leving my earth body
Cos with universe im soul bound
Taken by the winter cold
I feel so lost and alone
My cosmic entity is lost
Chrushed by the weight of this empty world
Feeling the cold breeze on my skin
As cold as my heart within
My mind got blurried, i have sinned
The lost echo sending from a fiend
I cant tell who s friend or foe
These dark clouds rips my heart and soul
I rot from inside out
I wont see tomorrow, there's no doubt
Im sorry for all i did
This darknes consumes me with very fast speed
Ill leave u now, for you to live your life in peace
The time has come for me cease to exist

— The End —
