The Jump

perfectly cut 
end scene
an elegant strut
a screen
fill the space
lift a leg
then give chase
hear that beck
it lifts gen sky
body molded by hand
reaching ever high
a distant memory the stand
then lands on a foot
toes bend and shoes wrinkle
as the body sinks in soot
with a sprinkle
dissipates in reflectives
leaving sight
gone

Desperate Ocean

that mute scream ripped open your throat
will not delay, wont apprehend
it's only a side effect
you really should've seen it coming
a lifelong flatline falling ill
such ridiculous things
as a mute static noise
spanning its tarred wings
over nothing, nothing at all.
the endless ocean a calm before a storm
but no eyes dare
to brave the waters surface
it remains unseen, unchanging
an endless opportunity
who will ever see the stars
if the ground is a glowing hunting mass
and the depths as dark as sky
ugly layers blended
you like it but thats a foreign concept
because who has space
when an ocean
is so fulfilling
you

The Final Straw

The final straw

thinly concealed stripe
heavy line easy
simple strike
it doesnt make me queasy
so simply fascinating
as it spreads further apart
the flood procrastinating
before it can start
shield cleanly cut
breaking tiny swords
not cold not hot
the flood is a horde
split the canvas
dry and crumbling
frames the tower as
and leaves them shambling

Talk Past Them

Cant remain but am
know I have to but cant
know I will but delay
sleep in the right time to die
spit my words like honey
casually crawls down their senses
muted slowed and automatic
the next tragedy so predictable
isnt that ugly or gross
why it was me
its how I know you
its how I hate you
so when do we crystallize
eternalized in motion
still and weathering
forever stuck on a twig
none the closer to snapping
I know I should but cant
I know I will never
so I wont ever
tell

White Noise

capabilities high strung
hung out to dry in rain
soaking up heavy dust
mighty winds a capability
not caged just free
free for the nothing i can be
nothing is the rain
without dust to blow away
soak it up led astray
naught comes for nothing
and stillness is all
did it ever depart or arrive
am i even alive
like glue to a tiled roof of silk
blankly setting eyes 
one way or another
nothing will happen

Vacation

foreign shadows replace familiarity
stripped away due return
and the heart speaks with sincerity
its just the old familiar burn

some faces stay the same
new united through uncertainty
isnt the actuality quite lame
because i would most certainly

never return

The Red Knuckle

Bravely fought in experiment
curious pain brings forth a scent
it smells red like pain
it feels right as rain
so another and another flood the gates
is it that face that you hate?
sudden like a snap
resonates another smack
more force makes curiousity 
an immovable object with such verocity
a little less is never enough
you cant even say you have it rough
so when it gets old and white is red
then dont worry your little head
no bruise will call
on your assistance against this wall
so will you reach for the slice
the scraping vice
that rends flesh like fish in sea
glittering and shimmering among your plea
oh may this end but no
you want it so 
you do dont you though
this isnt sorrow
its pain that starts the wheels
no matter how your voice squeals
drowned out in the fog
of your mind

Anger Zit

an endless supply chain
fueling its own purchase
may no rest come to the self condemned
they wont allow themselves
theyll throw it in the trash be sure
noone benefits from a zit without a cure
a foul black hole fastenes
its full grip
its influence never sinks, always rises
and a ball of disgusting hatred
has never felt so warm
has never felt so casually constant
for me to feed the chain
and feel good
so horridly

The Fish

Laughter trills through fire
Joy is spun on a lyre
Feathers were just growing in
And the bird watched its kin
Playing, scratching, screaming

I want to play!
You're on fire!
Thats what you say
But my nests been made a pyre
Eating, feasting

Food is stuffed in its mouth
So one day it may fly south
A whirlwind eats the flame
Wind to glide and maim
Blowing

Wheres my light?
The nest alight?
I know, I'll burn instead
Feed the whirl in my head

Righteousness is personal
When anger is an arsenal
It walks among birds aplently
To none was it friendly
Playing, Scratching, Screaming

I have feathers!
No you dont!
You grab your tethers
And i burn the rope
Eating, feasting

The wind has picked up
It fuels the inferno
Burns all that know
The wind is a flood
Flowing

Wheres my light?
My body alight?
I cant see it, i cant see
This must be home, where im free!

Serenity

Rich and unrelenting are you
You who has captured me so
Always changing never ending
The water to my kindling.

Tall and blue are you
You who has enraptured me so
Never changing always ending
Any doubts I've been having.

This is joy this is strife
This pier of empty existence
You caress with insistence
That you are easier than life.

To you my ocean i give all
Consume me make me thrall
Take my air its your call
To throw me back on shore.

Your brilliance never waving
Is all I've been craving
I despise the earth beneath
You'd never force me to breathe.

Throw me out I jump back in
To my favourite seat in this theater
Away from all I suffer
Is spectating such a sin?

Keep me Keep me let me stay
Be nothing in your bluest ray
Please i beg why wont you 
Take the body i threw

Wash it ashore
Keep me instead
Just my head
Let all else be dead.
