it rushes over me
a gust of tumbling objects
protestations and pinheads
straining the rainbow stitches
that pin my soul together
a stabbing suggestion
complete with kiwi and tangerine
and words i dont quite understand
hurtle towards me
uncertainty bleaches the threads
binding me together
thoughts overwhelm
red coals and sweatpants
bits of cloth and ruby dust
are sprinkled across my mindscape
a crack appears
a spark
ignites bits of fluff
camo teddies and orange bubbles
a gaping hole
a devouring empty mouth
it occurs to me that i have lost
everything
the black whirlwind that
speeds across the landscape
shreds everything
but from the pu
Rage
I can
See it in your eyes,
Feel it piercing my soul,
Taste it
Bitter, on my tongue.
And yet you stand-
Unmoving,
Motionless,
Frozen stiff with fury.
Somehow
It's worse than when you
Rage and yell,
Lecture and enounciate.
Because then,
It is only meaningless articulation.
Now,
You truly feel it.
The loathing, the anger.
And I can see it.
Your eyes, they say it.
Everything.
Accusing and sad,
They say:
"I'm disappointed in you."
Before the light,
There was dark,
She whispers.
Where there is light,
Darkness always follows,
He hisses.
Even in the purest heart,
There are shadows of darkness,
It murmurs.
It would be so easy,
So nice to just fall,
They sigh.
One day I find
That I've fallen.
And I have to say...
It's perfectly corrupted.
Imagination is
Delicate white candy floss clouds,
Crisp green forests no-one's ever seen,
A blazing sun rising over a frostbitten world.
Imagination is
Wishing for things you know you'll never have,
Seeing things that will never exist,
Feeling things that no-one else will ever feel.
Imagination is
Twisted black hands wrapping around your neck,
Skeletons stalking you through a misty forest,
Ghouls ripping out your soul by twilight.
Imagination is
People long gone still lingering in your dreams,
Photographed memories coming to life
An old teddy bear that sings you to sleep.
But above all,
Imagination is
The essence of my ve
You're angry
Understatement
Livid
Shaking with fury
I'm speechless
You lecture
Enounciate
Articulate
"I gave you
Everything"
You say
I disappointed you
I don't want
To meet your eyes
"I judged you wrong"
I stand straighter
I look up
And bite my lip
I'm ready
To be judged again
Your eyes
Pierce my heart
X-ray my soul
Dissect me
Your eyes darken
Cold and hating
The verdict approaches
I'm dying inside
"You are not the person
I thought you were."
Guilty
My execution awaits
On the menu tonight,
You'll find my heart.
Would you like it served
With a poison dart?
Perhaps you'll enjoy it
On a silver platter
Eat it bit by bit.
Delicious? Don't flatter.
Would you like it
Hot or spicy,
Or bitter or sweet?
Grilled or roasted,
Fit to eat?
Go ahead, just ask, be bold...
But if you ask me,
It's best served cold.
What's my street like, do you ask?
Well, I could bottle it up in a flask...
Just a pinch of cold and touch of silence
Plus a ricketty row of paddle pop sticks
(My mum calls them fences though.)
The road is a twisted black ribbon
Speckled with white lines.
The night sky; a black curtain
With holes, where the light shines though.
And there's an empty little playground
Where the swing sometimes moves
By itself, creaking like an unoiled gate.
I could probably squeeze it all together,
Shove it in a bottle and tie it with a ribbon.
But really?
It's just an ordinary street,
With an overly imaginative occupant.
Tippity tap, tippity tap,
Don't stop, it's a trap.
Clickity clack, clickity clack,
Too much work, stay on track.
Metalwork, plastic parts,
What are these things you call hearts?
Bottomless pit, endless hole,
Go ahead, sell your soul.
Press your buttons, click your mouse,
Day and night, inside your house.
Fall into the darkest hell,
Molten metal forms a shell.
Turning cogs, moving gears,
This is what I truly fear.
Motorized, computerised,
Humanity's fate before our eyes.
Snowflakes
Adorn the frigid pathway
Grace the frostbitten door
Flutter in the frozen air
Like pristine butterflies
So flawless, so cold.
Glacial winds
Frost the chilled windows
Caress the freezing trees
Lace the artic breezes
Like fine ribbons of ice
So exquisite, so cold.
My heart
Is draped in subzero chains
Wrapped in numbing tendrils
Encased in a frosty cage
Like an alien, locked in a foreign world.
Eternal, everlasting
And so, so cold.
Musings...What are musings?
They trace along your mind
Fluttering on the borderline
Of subconscious and conscious.
They invade your mind
At the most inopportune moments.
On the edge of sleep
Amidst impossible imaginings.
They demand attention
Once in a while.
They demand to be put on paper.
They order the tasks execution.
They won't leave you alone.
Not until you do.
And sometimes, musings seem
Somewhat unfinished
