People standing still
After the snow in the season of my death
I walked barefoot upon blades of grass
My feet burned with the blood of wisdom
As I watched the ghosts wander past my skin
Kicking up the dust of a thousand years
The film gelled to my soul creating a cast
Nothing was the same ever since that day
Strangers still smiled at my black eyes
They spoke of life and love and lies of hope
Told to themselves for themselves to feel [permanence]
Years passed and the ghosts blended into rum
Lives into fractions of bone and fragile skin
My feet sore and calloused I walk still
In a world that will always forget
before it remembers
Red To Black
All alone I stand
thinking of all my flaws
Racing through my brain
now without a pause
Praying for the weapons
to fight off these demons
Unaware my echoes
from the walls
are steady screaming
Asking myself how
did I become this monster
How did this mirror trap
such a perverse
imposter
Around my heart
these bricks are standing
as a firm stack
Demon trapped inside
churning my blood from
red to black
An attack that is led on
with such traverse tragedy
n. And also backed up
by such sordid treachery
A epigrammatic of love
held back with all restraint
It's so damn overwhelming
that it makes me faint
I wake up lying right next
to a white picket fence
How the Hell did I get here?
This doesn't make any sense
My memory growing distant
and floating farther away
Like a story that is extant
yet trapped in disarray
On this fence there is a web
but the spider is not crawling
In fact it's withered and dead
the image is almost appalling
Standing up all I see
is a large and empty field
I walk along the fence
into a spot where
my body yields
Placing me to stand
in front of a
faded black gate
With words vaguely
spelling out
"you conjure this fate"
I hear crows in the distance
mocking my labefaction
As the wind whispers
in my ear
"Young man you must take action"
I blink my eyes
and now all I see is
one single grave
With a path around it
that only the maggots
could pave
I clearly see a phrase
written upon the headstone
It says
"This site shall bare your name
if you remain alone"
"So open up and free
your heart so true love
can find you"
"Rise up to reclaim
your soul so no more
chains can bind you"
I wake up back inside
my prayer
and as I let out a sigh
With new hope
I prepare to see
beyond life's
deceptive disguise
