Involved

The sun is failing at hiding
Effortlessly not trying to shine,
Come with wind blowing north of you
Roots attached, shedding all but truth
Trust, there’s some deeply embedded fuckery of sorts 
You know like how I carved the outline of my soul 
Digging my heart, wasting good blood 
Wrapping the beautifully scorned sculpture in non fragility 
Your arms don’t even reach on low shelves 
And high shelves gives too much credit to worthiness
Because I was never taught simple mathematics 
So let’s complicate things 
You know let’s pretend it’s pretty 
And the brutal ugliness of he’s not that into you doesn’t appear so moon like
For the imaginary Kings are awaiting the Crimson liquor drenched we 
The scent of me is too faint 
So i drown myself in poignant self love self loathing bullshit my nose wakes up
Before my eyes 
Still closed, still blind to imagery so clear 
How I can still see the sun shining at its failing attempt to hide.

Flames

Soulmates always having to be thunderstorms 
invading beats of hearts 
making bad choices 
good choices in the eyes 
beholding some sort of hope of compatibility..
I surrender my indifference 
pity time spent 
figuring out the calmest storm. 
Teetering in doubts collectively united 
storing them in glittery satin ribbon tied boxes.. 
we should enjoy moments like this..
repeating harmonious fears 
neglecting our power  . 
Let’s pray... 
Combustion of silences, 
we face invisible lines and 
tongues tainted in white lies 
blacken our vision 
we stay loving a slow death.

Boi

Inside and out
I’ve imagined sunshiny moonlights crossing paths with black cats
Resting assured the we don’t meditate on thoughts .. 
thinking only in sub titles 
and its foreign to me that you only see clear shadows .. 
blackened moments brighten my day.. imagine that. 
In fact .. 
how soon we forget the bliss of ignorant sweet dreams 
and salty wounds hidden in depths of unspoken memories. 

You are not who I pretend to see
