Cosmic Poetry

My mind is the center of a star
A nuclear fusion of ideas
The lighter atoms of the self
Are forced together
And become solid
And beautiful.

Dark At the End of the Tunnel

A flash of darkness
He couldn’t see anything
Except his future

Space

Empty abyssal space,
Hiding behind the sun's face
Always to be lost

Ocean

Blue is the color of your eyes,
every time i look my heart dies,
neither lost nor found
my heart has drowned,
in your deep ocean blue.

Ebb and flow
and the waves roll,
I wouldn't be surprised
if those deep, dark blue eyes,
would once again, swallow me whole,
in her deep ocean blue.

Yet another mystery lies,
in the shadow of the seraph's eye, 
for what is not seen cannot be told,
every word you speak shall shatter the soul,
and if not for the two-sided eye,
would we have this hungry tide, 
and with dark comes light,
the waves crash at night,
in that deep ocean blue.

A beautiful beast that awakens and falls fast,
none is present here, future or past;
Not even Orpheus could tame the beast that lives behind a mask,
suspended in the mind, she will swallow you whole, 
as whole becomes hole,
the waves take their toll,
not even you could stop
my deep ocean blue.

Seven Days

If only you could've seen
the color fade from her eyes,
like that last moment of a sunny sky.

If only you could've seen
her give and give,
spit on and trampled as a reward.

If only you could've seen
her lonely smile frozen in time,
all she asked for was the man to be kind.

If only you could've seen
her lay in that ditch
face down and forgotten like a dirty b----.

If only you could've seen
her cry and cry,
screaming she was too young to die.

If only you could've seen
the beauty of her birth
and now she lay forgotten.

If only you had seen
her beautiful smile,
what i saw
and you were too stupid to foresee.

Fear

It builds up inside
The raging flame
Emitting its fumes
All at once it burns
Total destruction

Without escape
Flailing about
Encapsulate
All of the hate

Try and try
It's futile
I lose

None can
forget

Fear

Alone

What if i woke up
before the day had started,
before there was life;
Loneliness is a poison,
Only the dead should endure

Red

The drum beats,
the people refuse,
they act as if there isn't
a life to lose;
Look through my iridescent eyes
and I will show you the way,
just as long as the color red seeps through the day

Nothing

If everything was 
to be nothing
     Nothing!
Would all your worries
		also be nothing?
All some things that
            you strived to achieve
would amount to be nothing!
     Ha!
I scoff,
	for I who had nothing
     lost nothing 
and you that had something
	lost
	it
	all.
Nothing, wouldn’t that be something?
