Rainbow
Sometimes I imagine being a rainbow,
Shooting off into the sky and coloring in every perception anew,
Just to find my way back into myself.

Oblivion
How do you get someone out of your head?
Do you lay down in bed and let them swirl
into a tempest, leaving you to drown?
Or is it more tempting to conjure up an umbrella
against the rains of regret?
If only I could reset my mind and forget,
but that would mean watching your sunset
colors fade to black.
And I don't think I have any colors left.

pink
I am a dark blue with a little bit of pink
Hidden away somehwere deep, I think
About how lavender always danced nervously on my lips
Held back tight by a fist full of sins
I am no longer scared of but find hard to forgive
Myself looking at him
Looking at my pink, hidden away somewhere deep, I think

hey there
before i fall in love with you i'd just like to introduce myself.
i think i have a really kind smile to go with your dark brown eyes
that light up my room like the lamp i still keep on at night.
i promise i'm not scared of the dark
but i am so terrified by how pretty you are
it makes my hands cry more than usual.
my anxiety's always been a bitch so i hope you don't mind toxic pol...

Juniper Ridge
squinting through the condensation on my windshield
brought back memories of february hearts painted on school bus windows
with spindly fingertips, now callused from a guitar that played me
shitty riffs. I don't remember when I grew so fond of black hearts that devoured me
and spit me out like radiation, but music always made me forget.
so I turned up the volume and let my foot cave...

Crumbs
Whenever that gray light with the blue mood
Poured through my window,
We were never blue, but only sometimes
Tucked up under each other like colorblind fools,
Sweet laughter on our lips came and went
Dancing up into the air currents
To be shredded to pieces by the blades of my ceiling fan.
We always tried picking up the pieces
With fingers buttered up like pastries
Leav...

Symbiosis
Flowers grow through the wrinkles of my shirt
Where hyacinths, roses, and tulips
Intimately embrace each other
And vein their way into my roots,
Feasting on my blood.
My heart beats palpatate through their stems,
Making their petals dance.
Oh their sweet, sweet aroma

The Dancing Dead and Dead Again
....I wake up (un)dead,
Joining the horde of bodies wandering aimlessly
To each’s destination unknown
Left right, right left
My body sways
Up down, down up
Dancing on my own grave
It's not all bad though,
At least I don't eat others
Only myself
Until there’s nothing left
and....

War's End
Weary, cold, bloodied, and coming from afar. He sought food, drink, and a place to rest from the dangers of the country road.
He saw the woman in the pink Kimono on the street corner. Soba noodles her specialty. He ate and paid her in stories of the front, the battles, the deaths of his comrades.
He asked her name.
“Mitsuki”
Spring was coming.

A prayer to
Dead to me three times over
I wanted you gone
So I locked you in a corner and swallowed your key
of despair
But it’s funny that without you I couldn’t
feel myself living
When I finally find rest in your arms
I hope you kill my regrets and free my soul,
So I can truly know you

extraterrestrial
The yellow suns in your eyes lit our path, revealing the secrets hidden under the gray sky.
When I was thirsty, blue poured from your tongue into the black bile, and I drank from the river.
Your skin was a red furnace, a cauldron of warmth prevailing against the brittle wind and melting through my ice.
You pointed to the titanium obelisk on the hilltop.
We were on a journey to somew...

Mecca
The soft radiance of your skin wraps me in sepia sheets under which your Mecca lies.
I came to conquer and be conquered by.
Allow me to lay seige to your walls as you claw at me defenses,
Then take me by force for I am relentless.
You can condemn me for my sin of seeking your cryptic treasure,
But first gaze into my eyes and bear witness to true pleasure.

Born From Depletion
We are the rascals who march to the drums of our own screeching
Music born from depletion
Lyrics of the abyss
Listen to our empty melodies and cry your heart's content
For we aren't done yet
Lounge in your putrid contempt
And watch the legion of red lesions
Grow colors of the cursed
Our music is born from depletion
Hoping to one day become full
And burst.

Sunrise Eyes
Like a child I foolishly gaze into your sunrise eyes
Finding a blinding vision of a new day
Where everything fades to black but the yellows of your incandescence
The holy color that sanctifies the black of our sacred skin
Might I lose sight in the blissful haze,
With my eyes closed and my heart open,
The weight of your wavelengths’ warm embrace
Would guide me back to you
