"Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness."
--Khalil Gibran


Await Further Instructions Let me tell you about your life:Await Further Instructions by ~larroney
You should remember
Sun on your skin the warmth of spilled coffee.
Shooting blades of grass skewering unnamed orifices of air
Cool with the wind of sustenance.
And you should remember
That maybe the summer is a campaign from Youth
Tapping over the spring-step present;
A campaign relieving and giving
Against your loves.
Perhaps all is on your side.
Let me tell you about your life:
The gradient seasons turning with you
At each angle adorning you with the gods
Of memory, muse and matrimony-
(As in, the wedding you escaped)
Muse and stillbirth
(As in, the stillbirth)
Stillbirth, tonguing memories


TeaCup Once upon a timeTeaCup by ~WilliamWilt
I had no use for you
You just inhabited my home;
your insides filling my parents bones


Shadow, Splinters of a Man Skin leading nowhere,Shadow, Splinters of a Man by ~scarredsodeep
he felt forced.
In compliant defiance,
he left his shadow in dark places,
a muddy lobotomy,
and it swelled to fill each crevice,
fetid with the hot stink
of birth,
each damp corridor
of undone time.
He crept into the light
burned raw without it.
There was nowhere to hide,
mans shadow cowering still in that world
that moment
he lived to forget.
Ragged, his ears bleed from whispers;
his eyes are blind.
He will run from it,
and we from he,
forever.


Lonely Star Gazer Did you see the stars go fallfallfalling?Lonely Star Gazer by ~badboysluvr
You weren't with me so they didn't
(sparkle. shimmer. shine.)
I waited but you never came
(runningrunning)
I started to hum.
Love songs as always.
But you never came like I
(wished. hoped. dreamed)
I watched the stars go fallfallfalling
And I hummed my love songs
(la de da)
And I waited and I watched
But you never came
The grass was cold anyway, and the stars didn't
(sparkle. shimmer. shine.)
But maybe they would have if you came
(runningrunning)
Maybe then I wouldn't keep fallfallfalling...
