"witheringly" poems
What if the war machine was a tarnished memory and the void between the pillars Why there is not contentment for the content but and endless series of Roman pillars inside celibate convents. The pillars of the Panthéon are bars in a demented prison fermented with the stench of a rancid batch of torrid dreams. A palace of pain an pleasure, a hotbox of sin for the devil's leisure. Leapt to every level of Dante's hell and up again No knowledge have I aquired, but confusion, a quiet illusion, and I am tired, oh, so witheringly tired. "We are drawn to the concept of escape" Nietzsche said.

Dionysus
The unique buds of magic, the wondrous feeling of scents. I can't bare to stay here in this abyss, the abyss of isolation. The flowerbeds grow from despair, witheringly when they finally gain, the feeling of yesterday being poured away. I should never have bothered with grace, graceful elegance left me behind, I know it's impossible to do the things they proclaim, I know it's impossible, to be the way I always see my face in the fabricated world. Listen daughter, in the future of mine, never let these people push you behind. Curiosity sometimes rightfully takes over your will, for I was curious too on how I live. I never wanted you to fall down this hole, please return to me in my future arms. I couldn't bare to see the desires I once had be wiped away from me. Scattered like ashes, of used-to-bes, nobody deserves pure hatred, nobody deserves to feel alone. I know daughter of mine, when I see your hair shine in the lights of the world, slowly forming into the explosions of used-to-be life which will be left behind, please hold me tight. There are too many flowers in this garden, the ones who grow violently shiver those who cry, the ones who are left behind to wither into nothingness should be the ones remembered internally. I can't hold the thought of desperation, the feelings that I wish would go away from me. The hands that I once wanted to caresses me are now the ones I wish would bleed. I no longer want life to be, a spiraling act of infinity. Please.

Satisfaction.
A mid May Day Summer light You turn your violet eyes flash mine And your hair dances with the wind Causing anticipation Setting love in And I see you With twinkling eyes in the moonlight Lavender fireflies buzzing in the dusk And you smile at me Setting me so free Of anguish and misery And I see you Floating in the mist Of Rosie pink blossom Carrying you away Promising to see me the next day And Then i see you With him And your eyes are black And your teeth are rotten And your hair is thin The air is dense And filled with sin And I see you With your Bleeding heart Through your chest Rib cage of moths Witheringly thin In your hellish nest You will die in And I see you Where Dandelions grow from you And bouquets I never bought you lay over your head In this garden of death Sing for me a hymn To save my soul From my deadly violet sin

Sugar never tasted so sweet
At the foot of my balcony, there was an inviting hole, allowing my eyes' vision to enter, luminescent colors burning in my head, like a child's fantastic playground, retaken from memory's debris. Running out of time, night's veil faintly glowing, stars reaching out to me, asking me witheringly, why I would treat my soul beneath contempt, why would they appreciate my absence, my whiskey's glass, cascading, down the shade's slide. Breathy wind skimming over my soaked lips, disappointment prowling through trembling legs, the joy of night, taking one's leave, the sighs of dawn, crossing the threshold into waking life, tears steadily drying out, curling my consciousness insentient, ruptured hole, denying my presence too.
