Best Splinters Poems

Haunted,
By Faces ,
Empty places,
I try to erase this.
Echoes... from these caves
Reminding me of all those slaves.
Dismembered operation,
Complications,
On the stations.
Sexuality sold to thieves,
While snakes sneak up their sleeves.

What's in writing?
What makes one to author something from the absolute scratch?
What is the science of this art?
Is it just the perceptible version of the human thought or something-deep lies within this solemn form of art? 
The little magic of letters, the funny games between...

Splinters

Shards of hard words in my soul
Are piercing in me a big black hole
I'm bleeding out the chemicals

Digging deep through the ground
I've been trying too hard to make a mark
The shore was washed away again

I think I'm losing all my patience now
I've given all my...

The splinters of our marrow comes, 
Shivering thunder for a lengthy spray-
Warmth beautifies our essence;
Glittering ray sends goose down spines! 
She comes,  nostalgia drums
The lily-borne sepulchre; its beauty I ponder
Goozy feelings; my road alone
This journey be tiresome 
For I be so glad to take...

Cupid's arrow is broken in two,
The one that said that I belong to you.
You don't want to be with me anymore,
Thats what you said as you walked out the door.
You don't love me,you told me you never did,
So behind my shaddow I have hid.
I can't...

The splinters of our marrow has come, 
Shivering thunder of a lengthy spray, 
Warmth beautifies our essence, 
The glittering ray sends goose, our spines 
Whenever she comes, nostalgia drums
The lily borne sepulchre ; it's beauty I ponder 
The goozy feelings ; my road alone

with sterling pen in hand and splintered heart
the poems flow day after day

Body in yoga positions unyielding
Sun light in angles to play with the eyes
Nimble lit fingers are all concentrating
waiting for brain-waves to signal, advise
all for the loosing of splinters
Caught from the deck in an afternoon bathe
Right at the moment of consummate melt
Didn't get up 'till the...

Going back to the begining
Seems this track is always
commin round again,
Just when I think my odds are winning
Sure as night
It all falls apart like sand...

And I'm standing here 
thinking things
About how to pull through
I'm writin down,
Mouthin sounds,
How do I bring it all back around to...

A crown that is broken cannot be fixed
It has to be replaced 
Changed 
Because a crown that is broken 
Cannot be turned into joy
So why exactly 
Do you make me sad 
You broke my heart repeatedly 
But My heart isn't yours to break 
It was...

like splinters in the mind
thoughts that cannot be left behind
faded memories of self
like a photo on a shelf

behind that glassy shine
you're frozen forever in time
reality is divided
as the flotsam rises
like shards of broken glass
the shadows of the past
cutting you into two
marching onward to your doom

marching...

Brittle sky falls, wrecks starry night
The moon slits, dissolves in the dark
You disappear out of my sight
On journey of search I embark.

When the clouds gather, storm descends
Brittle sky falls, wrecks starry night
I hear the sound of ruin it sends
I wait, you would bring the day...

Truth sifts pain through my feelings -
his words cut like sharp splinters.
I feel so fragile, sad aches
crumble me on green dazed ground.
Heavy, my eyes are mere slits
as clouds descend to soft touch
my mind and render me numb....
