I can see it
falling
and without power I am
consumed.
The soft flakes threaten to
strangle
all the air my lungs
inhale.
And though beautiful my
end
appears, it is quite
deadly.
Slowly the ground
changes
from spring green to ashen grey,
painted
by drops of despair deposited with
painstaking precision.
Illusionary restraints compel
silent
cries of fear.
I am alone
The ashes rise, layered like
soft
blankets of warm suffocation.
As the tremors of death
riddle
my body I
exhale life.
Dripping slowly
smoothly
quietly; life.
I am not missed.
Each song a memory,
Reminding me,
Things I used to see.
And now listening,
It seems to me,
I wish things could be
The way they used to be.
Instead of uncertainty,
Failed repeats,
Misunderstanding.
There used to be
Magical things,
Worlds of imagining.
Summer was carefree.
Not hard labor and life duties.
Each song is a love gone by,
I don't even close my eyes,
I see their smiles.
Laughing all the while,
Happy like a child.
The smile wanes,
Drowned by the rains,
Of someone else's song...
Alight, abreast, a new caress,
I had not thought to try this test.
Slow and slow and touch and touch,
and rise and fall and fall and rise and fall.
Begin anew and see the world.
The sun shines, and doom is not at hand.
Your soul forever punished, banished and burning,
is imagination.
You have chosen, and the consequence is freedom.
And you smile, and the earth is warm beneath the grass,
beneath your feet, beneath your
smile,
beneath your clear and bright thoughts.
The end began the comfort you feel inside.
Lighting the way
the emptiness leads
I follow the path I can see
Alone though I am
I need you near
You compete with my fear
A sharp light shines
And suddenly defines
Abrupt angles and lines
But the light
Only heightens my fear
I know what is happening
I wish that you are
But know that you’re not,
here
In a corner I stand
With my fists held up
Pretending the courage I lack
A fight we all face
A fight we all lose
Just some of us have less regrets
Alone though,
“We”,
I regret.
Your beauty isn’t
red and gold,
the sunset in your
eyes.
True Beauty isn’t silken hair,
framing perfectly your
sighs,
as you listen to these
rhymes.
Your beauty is your laugh,
your past and
every time line
that outlines
and defines
your perfect
proportions
presented
as
Wit-36

Your beauty isn’t contained in words,
in verse or prose or song. (sonnets get it wrong)
Your beauty is the life you live,
The time you give.
Your beaut
Little Black bits,
Drift. Drift. Drift.
Lifeless tears defy nature.
In chaotic unison
They ascend.
Snowflakes of death.
Sacrifice brings life,
This death is light,
And we dream in warmth.
Sharpened blows the Red Wind goes
to trim the tree of thought.
Sick sticky silence drips, and hardens.
We cannot let limbs like that live.
So scattered on the ground,
benign and barren branches cry,
dry rustling leaves remember and
no sweet fruit will be found.
The Red Winds blow sharply through the mind,
to trim the tree of thought.
Serial Revenge
Betrayal rages in me; an icy inferno.
Reason freezes and as
the inferno burns the edges of my vision,
my fingers numb to their task,
unable to feel her warmth drain.
An insatiable fire envelopes my mind,
and demands more fuel,
though I wade in blood.
There she is again, laughing,
at me no doubt.
She always laughs,
and everyone believes the false warmth.
Inviting eyes like always, lie,
and will burn if taken in.
She will quench the cold commands,
but her sins will burn in me infinitely,
and so she will pay again
and again
and again.
"Just Like Your Father"
Cold cruel words drip from her lips,
but I am not my father’s son.
Her jagged jabs don’t cut; they rip.
He lied too, lazy, selfish, stupid, inconsiderate.
These words destroy me, my spine weakens.
Cold cruel words drip from her lips.
I know the sun rises, I was taught this.
But it doesn’t shine here, hope is fiction.
Her jagged jabs don’t cut; they rip.
And as the wounds weep, my mind slips,
I fall without grace, without doubt she has won,
cold cruel words drip from her lips.
I don’t know what snapped, but this was it.
Her ignorant words, destined no one.
Her jagged jabs don’t c
humans haunt deeper than demons ever could
piling bodies up building cabins as with wood
dousing heaps of flesh with words like diesel fuel
and when the fire dies
and the dust and ash depart
do you still exist
do you have a beating heart
reconstructing dreams burned low through peasant fire
are you still the same, are you sifting through the ash
has the fire burned the importance in your past
or has societys claim been found true for you
improving by removing their intentions burning through
perfect person born, youre just as they desire

Today, I woke up hating the world. I cannot quite pin point the reason, but my hypothesis is simply that the world sucks and deserves my loathing. As I wake up, I roll over and see my roommate getting ready for the day, kinda dressing up and finishing off with a fedora. I know he is just going to go upstairs and play skyrim, and I hate him because who the fuck dresses up to play xbox? I hate him.
My window is open, and I am treated to the incredibly annoying and baseless cheer from another roommate trying to convince others to come bridge jumping with him. He reasons that it will help wake him up. I am confident he didn’t sleep last n
