My Concrete Rose

My concrere rose


 Stone in single file under the rock;
Scraping purple sea shells under the dock.
The seeds scattered all but one spot,
Blossom bloom, blowing memories. 

Fading illusion I had company;
A brother that look out for me, 
A sister that look up to me,
A mother might seek the best for me

But I'm shadow torn
Blades mince the dice in me.
Gambling games there's no lucky three.
Losing spree I've already lost the soul in me.

I'm dust; call me soil erosion
I'm living low key grandstand 
 With these voices in my head I can't translate.
Explain, words I don't understand 
Nobody there but the walls speak.

Alone street geared with nothing but
Weak. 
Wishing I'll fall asleep;
Enter a very lucid dream,
Victim to a trance unique,
Buried in tunnel so deep,
To sprout from a funnel unusually 
Steep.

A concrete rose
With a smell of ease
Sprouting from gravel grapevine.
Untwisting
Death peace.

A Walk In the Park

A WAlk In The Park

Can I tell you about a couple total strangers, I
Met them on a walk, only introduction wasn't made, however
We shared humid chill, comb gentle Autumn leaves cascading world
Wind, designing the earth. Beautiful dark brown. Touch of Pumpkin.  

That's how their happiness arrested my interest, like a gust
of wind flowercent Rainbows. we sat on cold separate sculptures
I couldn't  resist the heat; could cheat myself not to 
sip tea of affectionate chemistry, radiation compelled attention.

their laughter exploded in a quiet hush, dispersing lustful micro 
Atoms of halo above their crowns', as their eyes a
Dam that couldn't hold exploded in silent conversations. Watering solution
of love and youthful joy. Fell heavily on onlooking eyes,

Deep freckled smiles. and in that special moment of another,
spears pearce my broken heart. and in another galaxy it
Departed, escorted by chance, desires that aspire fixing broken shards.

Death Calling

Death calling

Very few are talented; gifted to discern the undetected sleeping peacefully, Whispering tightly sworn secrecy. Few are specially hand-pick curse to detect.
Numb wind- gentle breeze, cold air breathing salty rusty slightly decayed; mask in air intakes; provides disguised to skeletal fingers velvet faint touches
Rested underneath wet fresh green grass lay dead plant, surrounded by nourishing fertilizers. Eyes blind to nature signs channelling its impressions.
That washed away like evidence in sinking sand; fermenting fruits stored in olive brown wood containers stock shelves untouched by elves chanting for solid goals,

That fell and died, alone in the wilderness wild uproar sensation vibrates castle bells signaling preparation for battle that rang hollow almost undetected combing un-defensive ears, which sleep harmoniously with hidden danger.

Mind scratches away symptoms; deem forgotten but he’s still their lurking; like a tiger snares approaching his pray in fear, but dared to kill growl softly
Disguised itself in thick bushy deep grass advancing like a young cub learning to feed, sheath teeth slowly unsheathed; watching patiently for opportunity to strike

First it killed mood then pinch joy. Attacking peace while planting seeds, which sprang discomfort, leaves hosting buds of confusing flower, eradicated concentration draining essence thirsty; deplete my life source.
I feel it coming standing firmed leg shaking waiting to collapse. Defenselessly overhearing whispers organizing Leisurely, slaying my alliance; paralyzed functions fade.
I heard his voice but helpless to null my silent screams Cocked ears and listened to my death calling.

Waiting For Your Love

Waiting for your love

I counted the pages lining sunset.
Recalling the cold depleted wind all morning.
For the night dew to pay its dues I waited. 
To drench my soul with news.
The stars my lone companion 
Hang with me a suspense 
Tireding to maintain 
Yet curiosity 
Remained.
Sane.
In the hollowness of a lone soul.
Howling wounded 
Ricocheting 
From stars to stars
Hiding from Pluto to Mars.
Signal less like a broken radio
Waiting for its frequency to be connected
But its hijacked and diverted, because it never came...

Yearn

Missing you( not missing me)


I kept  you alive in thoughts regardless 
Of the crash chrystalized safe
You left,
Decaying in my chest...
Attach to pokie pine’s with
Nuclear warheads; 
 Soul screams flashbombs, of
Black and white flashback
Why did you leave?
Sleeps wide awake in my night curtains.
Are reasons fading out of recognition
In the wider ocean.
I was a sapiosexual for your 
Intellects and unintelligencies
Your childish and immature mentality
That vibrant you, and you as the lone girl
My best friend
My favourite lover
Have we stumbled upon our end So soon?
My buttercup 
The moon haven't died
The Sun still rises reflecting bright transparent memories 
Falling quite heavily; I'm afraid too many chances
Has slip us by while we sleep in denials
my soul bleeding out 
Waiting for death.
I'm hearing things!
The first time emotion spoke I thought 
I was going nuts.
But then I start seeing things, and i realized it was my body acting up.
Giving crazy demstratations of how much it yearns 
For only your company
And our silent chatter
Because only you came close to understood me.
I miss you like waking up minutes to five and haven't seen the sunrise
Not realizing I've arrived too early missing you 
When your late like your period on missing me.
