Bleakness Poems


Woven arrows of bleakness

1.
Raucous winds sweep pristine waves 
against gods' sepulchral canvas as
stagnant, sharp wings' frames rose from malnourished hearts;
ends of elongated crosses marked beginnings
of rotten, venomous roots plugged into dead matter.

2.
Hollowed caverns invaded by calloused fingers 
coaxed bitter nectar and pellucid beads:
thus, gashed, aqueous sacs polluted by darkening crimson 
rolled down the silken passage.
With each bite, a story is devoured as 
monotonous beats of the gnawed linger in the air,
a saccharine image of carnage and raven barbs.

3. 
Rough trunks and polished branches - that reached for the fleating dark 
blended into mirrored snowy and sickening magenta -
tell stories of woven arrows of bleakness and despair,
a myriad of similar, blurring threads plunging: 
upon the lost and benevolent,
upon the putrid and vice,
nonchalantly.

4.
Yearning, bony grip interrupted hasty steps;
despite their current state,
these wane pits easily found mine
(like never before)
their intimate, lost vigor fueling my disdain as 
superficial longing clashed with a guarded soul
finally certain of similarities and your self-induced downfall.

Bleakness

A story of an

Outward blanket

Of whiteness and cold..

Overwhelming perhaps..

Reflections arise of the

Amazing sudden change..

In the story may also arise

A sense of no-time

A sense of no-changing:

No-changing seeming as

Bleakness..

And peace...

November

Bleakness..

The fullness and 

Warmth of

The earlier season

Seemingly passing..

An annual story

Recycled with

The question of

Permanence.. 

Finding..perhaps

The paradox of

Life as

Brilliant 

Fullness and 

Bleakness...

Premium MemberThe Bus Stop

a bus stop 
with a shelter

remote and 
standing tall

surrounded by 
bleak countryside

where no one 
lives at all.

does anyone
get off here?

just who
the heck gets on?

where does the bus
that stops here go

and where does it 
come from?

Bleakness

I'm reaching, I'm reaching
There's nobody there
I'm hurting so badly
And nobody cares
Why am I so worthless 
Strung out in the air
Dangling by a rope
For there is no hope

Don't try and convince me
That it is alright
Nothing you can say
Could make it alright
The pain and the suffering
Are too much to take
In a hard and cold world
Where everything's fake

All I see is empty
When beauty is dead
I would rather be surrounded
By nothing instead
Don't try and force lies
Inside of my head
There is too much filth
Already there

Welcome to my bleakness
You think it's a joke
I would burn my everything
Engulf it in smoke
Without giving one thought
That is my choice
I guess I'll die a memory
That never had a voice.
