Premium MemberHER, INVERSE

With her...
Do you find joy where I feel only pain?
Are your thoughts of her gentle, kind, and pure,
While mine linger on what we can't be sure?

I’ll never know what she sees in your eyes,
What dreams you both chase, what love you disguise,
And though I will wonder, I’ll never find out,
For she holds your heart where

Eternity's Inverse

The blackest hole
of poetic intent
Light spinning inward
no chance of escape
Eluding the eyes
collapsing the meaning
Time in dilation
direction opposed
Energy waning
one word is emitted
Superpositioned
—the last dying star

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)

Inverse

The blue
  it's not heaven
  for those who are hungry...
The yellow one,
  it's not gold when
  the all is black...
The green,
  it's not so green,
  for those who live
  in  darkness...
the red,
  not so much blood,
  for those who live
  bloodless...
The White,
  does

Caramel Sky From Inverse Pole

Two heads live in hot and cold
Caramel sky melts, defy the horizon to sleep
Grass swings in melody of wind, yet, forbearing to hear a story of inverse pole

Through some scenery, we try to dip
My days hostaged by summer and heat
The caramel sky melts, defy the horizon to sleep

Sweats and manual fan are my daily treat
Having

Inverse Hope

INVERSE HOPES"

I am a helpless person with haunting memories

I can’t accept that,

I am able to erase its effect

I know

I can feel that pain

Tears flowing in the rain,

Years down the lane

Everything will vanish

Nostalgia of sadness

it is something that will never perish

I will show god

“Love is most beautiful feeling”

Is just a myth

Money is more valuable

I can bet

Love's Inverse

a shattered, inverting heart 
a bleeding platter, raw with emotion 
coveting (yearn to possess)
my whole soul 
will heal and mend
what a contemptible serving 
of sad hopeful things to say 
to one's soul 
when one is, all alone  

do I, believe? 
will I, believe ?
can I believe? 
 
I lie to one's self 
I lie!

Premium MemberInverse Rorshach Test

The image, at a fourth remove, recalls a Rorschach test with inverse rule because instead of spotted ink on paper simulating flowers and/or butterflies here we have flowers and butterflies simulating spots in a sort of blurred space. My mind is puzzled by this strange test recalling times at school when I had to solve

Disgust despair mislead for insanity almighty.
Submissive hate seals the pact of the deathly converse.

Inverse

There's a lyric on your lips

and you're dying to sing

   But you're sewn like a puppet

   bound by a dream

 

Walking on a high wire

on the edge of insane

   So high above the world

   so buried by their pain

 

You're the bullet and the trigger

a product of

Inverse of Undoing

falling
one feather at a time
raven black quills
swept from full wings.
if it's for mass they're amassing,
this demon wont disappoint.
dagger in hand, 
the damage is done
but what is can always be un-
