balance [life and death]

indifference
screams from my gut
with petals
of the fallen flower
floating down
unto earth unspoiled
tears marring
what could be
in the drains
of what passed
eons before
and now
a growing blossom
fruit of the future
sprouts up
creating life
beginning again

 

Blocked

Emotionally and mentally devoid of creativity,
I bash at both parties trying to arouse
their vacant stares. For the life of me
I cannot concentrate for longer than a blinks life,
much less compose a sonnet.
Everything has become too critical now,
heart on overdrive, hurt and afraid.
Endless battles continue within, my being
always the casualty. Still I beg on dirty knees
for pain, for fuel. I've no more to give,
life drained my tanks. Displaced tears batter
the blank page, still blocked.

 

memories in the mirror

Wrapped in your own decisions,
are your memories as vicious as mine?
Pushing you back and away
until each breath stolen becomes heaven
for that instant before the hands of time
wrap like silk around your neck once more.
[do you feel it?]
Scrape your fingers along this canvas of moments,
listen to the cries of all you love that died
in your victimless crimes. Wear your pride
as a staple rising on your breast,
so that they can raise you to Andromeda,
only for a taste, [they never let you stay]
throwing you harder into the soft earth,
leaving your impression a little more fluid
than before. Blink into the mirrors realm,
and know that all shame lies, as do your eyes.

 

nowhere to hide

Edge of dawn, winds are heating
Continue on with pages burning
Attack the senses, all too blinded
Mind on alert, plugging, churning

Pull the mask off, too revealing
Feel the rapture before it begins
Soul screaming, all defiant
Face the collector of your sins

Pushing again, beaten bloodless
World keeps pounding, cracks the shell
Complications, system flooding
Beaten, broken, toll the bell

 

to sink and sway

forest green thorns
from a deceased rose
steal blood mercilessly
swaying
with the blocked sun
trapped in the storm
with tick-tock movements
of a soul
naked
as summer rain
glimmering in twilight
