Outlast Poems

An Afternoon in the Abyss

...I wait for you
where the road splits in two,
I'm forced to remain
uncertain which path is mine,
yet certain you will come.

I will open my abyss for you,
not as a prison,
but as a place to re...

When the clouds part

...

Where will it carry us,
this fragile hour we are living in
this trembling breath of fear?

Is there still a future
beyond the shadow of this moment,
or will tomorrow’s world
slip quietly i...

Killick

...

                              Killick


Sailing across the voyage of life
Amidst witty wilful waves of trials
Often subdued with wicked wily spells of pains
Buffeted below the belt by wild ...

Longing Faiths

...Let our clear eyes gaze
at the rising moon on the
shores of the Sahara, let
the evening stars shine,
holding the skies in their
         cosmic magnet, let the
tides cease their aggression
wit...

Underneath the Overpass

...Underneath the overpass as I was passing by,?
Something in the shadows, a shape had caught my eye.?
I couldn’t tell just what it was—intrusive thoughts owned me,?
For once I didn’t understand the ...

Why the Shadow Departed

...Have you ever stood still—
noticing the sudden absence
of what once followed you everywhere?

We think we know the reason.
We stitch guesses into tidy shapes,
as if they could fill the hollow

A Piece of My Mind on Peace of Mind

...They asked for a piece of my mind—
so I offered silence, wrapped in gold.
No rage, no clamor, no thunderclap,
just breath unbroken when the world turned cold.

Peace of mind isn't a destination,...

I Failed

...Trudging down the same path
Present equals past
Red clay
My problems outlast
The runes have been cast
Astray
A delayed forecast
Emotion outcast
I failed 

...

IMPERFECT ROSE

...IMPERFECT ROSE*
the imperfect rose, 
     once vivacious and colorful under the summer sun,
its petals are now wilted, its colors faded and gone.
    its time has passed

His Broken Soul

...His Broken Soul 

I was a spark in morning’s light,
But that... has faded out of sight.
I don’t know, Father—do You forgive?
Yet clouded with pride, I struggle to live. 

My heart bleeds.
I o...

Synthetic

...Micro-Nano Particles
Superior To Native Sand
In Resolve And Integrity

Settle In Every Vacant Cavity
Gorge In Every Innocent Orifice
Buttery Fill Every Nookity Cranny...

Not With Hands

...He taught me how to wield
the weapon made of words—
a blade that kills,
now saving lives,
like it once saved mine.

My own work
pulled me back from the edge.
And in it,
he lives—
my teacher...

I remember the family land

...I remember the land and its people, and I am concerned about the limitations of their mentality. I remember the dead and how the trees outlast them. I hear the language of the trees—the whispering so...

I Am Not Immortal Any More

...
I used to think I was made of saltwater and wire,
the bones humming with the permanence
of myth.
I stood naked in the mirror—
a girl with the face of her mother,
but none of her death in her y...

Unto the frey i am thrown, upon my heart your mournful cry sewn.

With valor I berzerk valiant within my vit...
