Know that when you go
by blood and by me,
I’ll fall when you leave.
When silence invades all the
possibilities,
everlastingness.
I follow your lead.
Leave.
When stale air
grows still against skin-
These floors will feel
reluctant departure from my feet.
Creak with agony,
groan with the weight of
a small soul.
Leaving.
Brace a being forward into
this deep sea feeling.
When the humidity hangs low in the air,
I’ll follow you.
Iridescent in this midnight scene,
I’ll escape with you,
and follow the rivers;
I’ve already
Left.
My words set you free,
from injury to the brain.
Cracked open by agile hands.
Digging in deep,
for the answers of existence.
Let the lips close,
melt together in silent recognition.
For these words were meant to be thought,
not spoken.
Let eyelids slip into
morphine induced nightmares,
where the monsters run free.
Our screams
a quiet roar.
This back is arched
spine stretched like languid fingers-
Over dusty keys that sing melodies.
Weep stories of such skins,
minds that slid over their faces-
Whispering of a world without music-
A world,
where the trees and sediment lay still,
lips unmoving for the beings that walk amongst them.
A fool is a man who thinks he is wise
But a wise man is one who knows quite otherwise
And knows himself fully a fool
A fool is a man who to power aspires
But a wise man is one who has deeper desires
Though he thinks himself only a fool
A fool is a man who would fall for all lies
But a wise man is one who knows sorrow from false sighs
Even though he is only a fool
If Fool is a man, then Man is a fool
Though a wise man knows well he is merely a tool
So think what you will, but heed my advice—
Wise is to fool, as fool is to wise
Before I leave this world, eternal on
And destiny has waved her airy hand
To alter my remains, so they become
Some element of what this life has spanned.
Remember, how I loved you from afar
And knew your hidden beauty, plain or fair
As ordinary day, or midnight star
That shone alone, its light beyond compare.
That I should live again inanimate.
A heartless thing, incapable to feel
The agony, and alter then the fate
That held this life, a wound that would not heal.
Ironic then, I’d never understand
As treasured book held softly in your hand.
You called me words
that made the world envious-
Made the sky cloudy and scowl in my direction.
Peered into my skin,
where all my feelings were hidden in raw impressions
upon it;
ran your finger across crooked wounds,
burned them with your clever words.
You’ve been through pain,
well sir.
I’ve been through hell.
Your words are wise but your actions
are not of a man,
but a boy.
You have your scars and I have mine…
Yours self inflicted,
while these
age with time.
There’s a quilt that shrouds your heart
veiling with soft satin structure,
verboseness hiding vulnerabilities
charisma a shield and bulwark.
I see silhouetted heartbeats, timid-
thwarting advances, wounded from
the last war, carved with unease
begging dagger be removed from spine,
splinters of bone erased from your core.
I wish to bring the bandages,
safeguard each fatal insecurity
with a kiss of rouge penchant,
tie you up in arms of warmth
until our hearts beat the same rhythm.
To anesthetize your ever wandering mind,
I’ll be what you ask of me and nothing more.
