Rhymed devolution

The actions I regret
Never remember, never forget
Drown my sympathetic heart
Hear it’s beat, hear it start

Lace my blood with poison
Sing me of your fears
Drink our sorrow, sleeping
Last dance amidst the tears

Your voice puts me on tilt
A smile that’s fit to quit
Advance the notion and wait
Drenched dream in the hands of guilt

Simple word to tongues’ phrases
Party with and then depart
But come back to waiting arms
Wait forever, want aloud

To take, to dream, to learn, to see
And bound, and bound, and bound
Break, snap, twice cooked sand
Drink me, eat me, love me.

Future passes as quickly as past

I am the slaughtered remnants of life’s diminishing. I sing deep and greyscale, shifting sands playing melodies in graveyards. Ash precipitates from a pink sky, made beautiful in chaos’ light . Wracked sobs breaking the too still day.

The pain of remembering a good life made beautiful by the haze of times passage. Furys sound like anguish in unbroken night. Only the hollow future beckons me forward
