splitter prayers
hello? hello? hello?
climbing grief sunset mountains
pearls placed upon requested peaks
angst of still buds in the heart of souls
the pain puzzle missing until our death

Other Voice in My HeadA heckler in the audience
Makes his point out proud
In an audience of shadows,
The flesh and bone stand out
I’m willing to hear you out —
That other voice in my head

My AarasViolence formed your flesh and bones but not your precious heart.

Believe me I'd rather be with God
Than in your dour...

Inter-DimensionI'm the version of you that didn't break.
Didn't shatter into useless pieces, broken haggardly upon the floor.
I can feel you,
See you,
Hear you,
Smell you sulking in the wind.
Battered and bellowing upon the breeze.
Like plastic.
Caustic and cautious.
Remember...

Belladonna FieldGood night, old friend.
Hush and sleep.
I’m here as long as we can pretend.
Even after you leave.
If pain is a gateway to the soul,
then my dreams deem your words the key to such a portal

WINTERWinter,time of Persephone's doom
Plants die when Pluto her does entomb
Up on earth Demeter weeps
And her seasonal vigil keeps
With Pluto's spell over and broken
Life on earth will again be woken
That is the price of one...

Black and WhiteI am like an avalanche slithering in shivering angst,
free-falling into an abyss of an aching era,
where luminous lakes reflect pixelated regrets,
for time throws my canvas into splitting helplessness,
and mind plays tricks in aimless frequency,

So it is again.
Caught in the cycle of life.
Where everything is responsibility, expectations, and decay.
And the bastards beat you down with their rules and their deadlines.
Where the weeks leave you weak day by day,...

Why?Why?
No one can explain
Why there is so much pain
Why will it not work
When will it ever come
Needle after needle
Month after month
It’s all the same
Just more pain
Feelings are indescribable
Loss, rage, sad, despicable
That’s how my body feels

I dreamed of this moment

Yet I let you back in
I opened the door to my heart again
Even though you destroyed it...
