Day To Leave

Came dancing my doomsday
With the dark specks contort
my head shook to dare-
pour the corrosion on spot
my life dealt below the belt-
Over the matrimonial surprise
Made confused dwindled head,
that came to seal my pact
with the signature of doom
My lover's attach remnant-
On the align with malignant ages;
I lay subconscious in dormant-
And cuddled my angels,
If not for me my heart's grant
I could reverse our quarrels.

Perishing Thought

I've wanted so much,
So many things that I can't even contain,
Even the mere concept of desire,
Is enough to keep me in infinite daydream,
I can stare out from above at dusk,
So high but not far enough to see the matter itself form,
And I'll look down not in fear,
But to question the fall,
For if I dive off this place into abyss,
How long will it take?
Mere segments of time to see all that matters,
And it's truly sad that in order to see these things,
I must certainly perish,
But in those moments escaped,
I'll know all that I not want but need,
Sometimes just knowing is enough,
To make life worth ceasing.

A Perishing Soul

Warrior fell with desperate woe 
  pride wounded or innocent hurt
  missed the play but never the show 
Warrior fell with desperate woe
  dying quickly he does not know
  prayers offered but so very curt 
Warrior fell with desperate woe
  pride wounded or innocent hurt

Perpetual Perishing

Whenever I sit
in the rain
and see
streetlights 
light the
pavement and
puddles,

the snow piles
from last week
creep to
the drains,
as if to wait
for next year
in hibernation,

I think about 
what's guarenteed
tomorrow,

and I laugh
at history's repetition
'First tragedy,
then farce.'

And I feel the 
unrelenting sun
from the summer
relent 
as I exhale.
