droplet

It seems to me my tears never seem to really stop lingering in the distance, free falling. Mist, cloud, and rain.

The Taste Of Ice

I used to be a thing of 
beauty 
                         now I’m just this
hideous mess.

I reached my peak
my climax
this story of the year
                Is over
No more seasons, just calender months
Broken down into mud, sweat, showers and snowstorms 

I watched my magic
            slowly 
            but oh so suddenly 
fade away.
     completely . . 

                  d  i   s  a      p     p  e        a        r  .    .   .

gone 
down the rabbit hole.

Im late, I’m late
for a very important date!
too late 
Twas fate
I came tumbling in after 
                                 noon
           so soon
on or around
                      the full moon
in tune,
but without 
                               (rhythm. )

Every star eventually dies.

every vibration, every beat, every melody, every song
fades and finally 
     s   l     o    w     s  . ..
to its final rest 
     Its final pitch:
black. 

(back to where 
           it all
 b   e   
         g   
              a  
                    n).

now 
describe to me 
the taste 
of 
ice.

who knew nothing could taste so cold?

I will not rot

*sometimes 
the people who tell me I am somebody
are the ones who make me feel like nobody.*

--your lies will always lie still and stiff like the corpse inside me you created. 

It will not rot
It will not decay.

how do you steal the life you never gave me?

I've lived and died many times already. 
I am immune to my immortality 

It smells like ice. 
It tastes like void.

It runs on crude and sour etiquette. 

It's so esoteric naturally 
that me myself is unnatural.

Do not play me with poison
You are not ivy or oak
trust me, learn your chemicals
We are toxins, take caution
See luck in my state of shock. 

And so be it, I refuse 
to suffer all alone another time 
(again and again)

because that corpse you created will never move
nor will i ever forget.

I will not rot.
I will not decay.

Never meddle with the dead.

Ride By

I just saw you bike on by
Wondering why
I just felt your ghost
turn me 
into nothing
but bones.

Infinite



love is a strange, beautiful, twisted magic.
(never to be properly defined)
--------------------

[ infinite. ]

ו°*
kiss my soul, hold me tight
should the sun never rise again
forever we can grace goodnight . ?

whats the sun without the sky?
and what's the moon without the stars?
nothing but vast universe, baby.

time and eternity to explore.

Outcast's Eyes

This is the end of this, the point of no return.
If it was uo to me, I'd let myself burn.
They're teaching ne , but I cannot learn.
Stop driving me crazy, stop being so stern.
The world is an oval, but I've found an edge.
I'm fighting for myself, I'm keeping that pledge.
Stop trying to change me, I dont want to fall.
Stop trying to change me, I'm gonna stand tall
This world ain't a home, this world's just a house
All living together,  like we're each other's spouse.
We cry and we bleed, but we refuse to change
And we wonder what's wrong, like the answers so strange.
Now you may ask, why is this world so messed?
It's not about poverty, its Hollywood and best dressed.
Girls can be lesbians, but guys can't be fags.
Can't kill on the streets, but troops get body bags .
Everyone will be screwed when we run out of oil. 
Dig deeper in yourself, in your own soil.
This world angers me, it makes my blood boil
There's bad uses for everything, even aluminum foil
We call children youth, but they'll never get it back.
Already having sex, some even smoking Crack.
If you ask me, I think that's just whack.
What happened to us? Where did we get off track?
Im sick of everyone who's just trying to use me.
Im sick of everyone who's just trying to abuse me.
But you'll never get to me, I still have my soul
But you're making it darker, almost blacker than coal.
Just chill for a second and drain out the lies 
And look at this world through my outcast eyes.

SA:-L-:VAGE

SA(L)VAGE 

so
intoxicating, you are.
you really are your only drug.

the way your blood rushes through your eyeballs when you get excited
the erotica in your eager demeanor 
It’s so…
fresh, shall we say?
(of course I meant cryptic) 
Did you feel me coincide in your . .. 
                                           bones? 
Dear grave robber,
Dear,  oh dear.
I am the crypt keeper
I bask in your sorrow filled skull.
And I laugh, you er!
Cabalistic, my ego.
Esoteric of nature 
So crude, foolish child!
Never meddle with the dead!

oh, for  sakes.
just stop those silly changes of character already 
what are you, drunk?
(you did down a few pints of that sanity already, no wonder you’re laughing)
fool
stop talking like some creepy mystic elf
whatd you think you were magical or something? 
goof 
Literally everyone is special and amazing so what singles you out?
…
Well?
…
And?
….
Yeah. That’s what I thought. 
What significance do you have?
Nobody remembers you.

Unbeknownst you became a stranger to every single person except yourself 
How ing selfish of you 
Ignorant self centered  .
Im sorry, did I burst your bubble there?

Too stupid to see people were dying trying to save you while all you could think about was your suicide? 
You killed them off like some sort of gun touting psychopath firing at random
If you would have just given up the bullets, you could have still kept the gun
Instead they ran for cover yet you still wondered why they went missing 
What are you, high?
Obviously, getting high of course brought you down so low, 
now solo…
You killed yourself years ago
So now, you die alone. 
And idiot, quit talking to 

(Myself)

 
So this is how it feels to lose everything
I should have listened in silence, not protest
Obvious couldn’t be more obvious 

But here you are, so stubborn in nature
They had no choice but to give up on you .
If only everyone knew you gave up on yourself years ago
maybe you would have listened?

Oh, I forgot
I am the only one speaking.
So caught up in myself to notice that now, once a crowd, the only one dumb enough to stay around …
(Though I refused to see)
Is nobody.
now, its just the decaying ghost of what was once..

and used to be

me…

Ignorance truly is bliss.
how’s it feel to finally be dead?

 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a ratch like me..
I once was lost, but now am found…
Twas blind, but now I see…] 

Its time i reach out toward light
because goddamn it
im so sick of my darkness.

DUMP IT


it's about time I pick you up from the bottom
because you'll make it a problem
I evolve them
come back at me with issues, I solve 'em before you got to 'em
paid a price but i not the one who bought 'em 
spit it out because you can't even swallow them
Hastily, they look at me like i'm shady but they do not pass because there is no grading me, let them es be afraid of me
let us watch what the world has made of me
do not look down because there is no degrading me
can't you see how i rock at the top, this rhythm non stop like a bubble pop,pop
everywhere i go i explode, i got melody, i got flow 
bring it down real low, i fly solo, hey yolo 
I only live once surrounded by stupidity and little s pulling whack jobs and crazy stunts, I'm on the hunt
let's take a shot at some new rhyme, can't escape this time
you fall right into the line of fire
you wanna be someone I admire? do you have what it takes to take down a whole empire?
or are you a liar?
you think you're hired?
es take the burn while i'm on fire
are you getting tired?
es still wired making circuits spark, set me on drive while you still in park 
you don't even move you don't even start
so little gas in you you can't even fart
I'm custom made, you just a bunch of spare parts
I am the bones and blood of the system and you don't even have a heart
i pump it and thump it while you cant even bump it, you stump it. 
you're just common trash and now we dump it.
