An old house ready to fall

Windows wide

to tempt the wind

To blow through

and bring

a chill within

To match the mood

but also maybe

freshen up the air

A clean breeze

to clear the dust

that’s settled everywhere

To bring in

voices from the street

of passers by

Stirring

a yearning remembrance

of being part of life

But too much time

has passed

With the weight of a building

on foundations of glass

Cracks have long since

started to spread

Supports groaning

with vibrations of dread

An old house barely standing

on unstable ground

Waiting open and empty

to be torn down

.

Seven Ember Stories 9.1.22 “More Than A Season Or A State (Of Being)”

“The end is nigh!” I would have shouted, But now I simply sigh, Why try?(when if said aloud It would graduate from a lie) Like how a whisper Shared with a thousand strangers Hits its growth spurt to be heard Louder than the tears of summer Crunched beneath the leaves grown crisper I am burnt out, browned and fallen Incapable of calling For “Help!” a word my voice will not pollinate (somewhere beneath the raked pile Sleeps my dread beneath that weight) (Should summer sunshine refuse to rise It might be wise to pause) Like the honey bees flowering surprise “No more shall the sun linger” I mouth idly with downtrodden eyes There are flowers pressed Where words once rested “Why try?” (to appear unimpressed At the simplicity) Sunned yellow orchids laid to rest

In my mind are metaphors

Expressing abstractions

That transcend time

Shared amongst angels

Twisted by demons

Despised by the self righteous

Yet in one accord

With the like minded

Steady rays of light

That twist in the shadows

Blinding those who

Follow the wolves

Disguised as sheep

Yet reflected in the few

Who know the true source of the light

Awakening the souls

Of those who seek truth

Recognizing the journey

Learning the lessons

Moving with the way

Spreading the goodness

From within their new found peace

under pressure

the sky had never seemed more distant and more welcoming

I tore my elbows open on the cracked ground

I laid my head by the metal-link fence and felt the cold brand my cheek

through the diamonds I watched them say goodbye

pressed against the ground I wanted

I wanted some helicopter to fling me down a line

and pull me off this earth

I was tired, goddamm tired, of being scared and bloody

come on! lower down! bring me up!

but I could never say the words or feel them but as molten weights

instead I curled up on the crushed weeds and waited for the blood to dry

to scratch off the flakes and walk

I walked to the end of the chainlink fence and could I go any further?

up above there was only darkness

and that had to hide whatever scream I have

I already miss your body against mine. The way your body presses up against me. Late at night, while I'm dreaming, you're living in between my breaths, a word upon my lips, a hand running through my hair, yearning for my kiss, while the hours count down.

Upon the uncanny mountains in the distance longing for the impressions of memories that we've made and will never let fade away, you will find that I am always with you as you are always with me.

I watched that name slip off your tongue

Watched as you realized what you’d done

Watched as you recognized

Heartbreak

In the eyes of your lover

Watched love flash across your features

But it was never

Mine

For the taking

On the verge of a summer you flew

So still In my lacrimal ocean I swim

Would you Dip your magic finger here

In the depression of my fleeting whim?

far yet near

Calculated steps towards you

Estimated glances on your eyes

Counted words from my mouth

I tried not to fall for you

I've distanced myself from you

Yet in the span and spaces of time

Unknowingly, unconscious feelings

Begin to resurface.

I supposed measurements

Doesn't work on you.

Because no matter how far you are to me

You still are the closest to this heart of mine.

A pulling in

Drawn towards

A want to

wash up naked on the shore

But

without thought

a push away

a curling back and in

A wish to stay

Adrift

Asleep

Safely deep

The touch of sand

the warmth of land

But open

and exposed

Disconnected

and unknown

Back in the depths

A pull

the other way

Sinking

Floating

Slipping away

I’ll stay

.

Cabin Fever

The joy of amounting to nothing: ecstatic there's no lens, no crowd, no tweets or retweets, no followers or friends. Sit in your cabin and whittle, whittle and burn what you chip, empty the ashes at sunrise, carve again under your whip. - Sleeps Underground chapbook on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9CSZFI

music we small ones do not hear only the echoes, the thin wailing our ears too delicate sometimes we swim in infinite waters, reach out and hope for life above us

we, so small, the deep the blue the humpback so large, a shadow our smallness

crushed under the fathoms-weight smaller and smaller we miss the music we never hear, never hold not alive anymore

we would die before we hear

And in her words, my sorrow Like a melting sun awaiting Its last breath to fill the soul of a galaxy With its last vestiges of warmth An undying sacrifice.

And in my words, her passion Like a roaring fire burning everlasting Feeding as it grows, destroying as it rebuilds Bringing life and a reason to live A beating heart.

But you see that’s the thing about

Losing someone…

The pain never goes away -

People just forget to hurt.

But me?

No…

I torture myself for you daily,

Listening to your favorite songs - knowing the lyrics will never again fall from your lips.

I buy your favorite candies - just to let them sit, untouched, untasted.

I wear your favorite clothes - knowing your hands will never again brush against the fabric.

I watch your favorite movies - knowing you will never again silently mouth the lines.

I do all the things you loved,

Just to remind myself how bad it hurts.

Because I know -

I know -

That once the pain goes away,

So do you.

And I cannot bare the thought

Of losing you

Again.
