Every direction but right
I can see this great delusion, but I know I am helpless.
How long can we accept the glaring promise of nothing...
That keeps you forever perceptible, fleeting to its plan.
How long we can accept being prisoners to conscience
how long it has been how long didn't I give a damn?
I couldn't count.
I don't really know much about physics but either way
I felt as if something was pushing me at every turn,
I felt as if something pushing me in every direction;
Pushing me but never in the ways I wanted to go.
How long is it that I am condemned to live it again
I couldn't know

How long do we live in memory? As long as a body sustains?
However long, it takes for us to become just as nameless,
However long, it takes for the suns flame to extinguish, to a shade...

Revealing back dead layers
Nothingness it consumes itself
and emptiness bleeds itself dry,
as a vessel drips of its last drop
flowers some day wither and die
the consolidation of the poignant
a lingering smell remains behind
you can't quite put your finger on it
but such a small thing can remind
in a past you found a better one
revealing back these dead layers
letting the old ones fall such is life
and the ways of dithering the old
but this old familiarity it embeds,
within the every inch of your being...
it feels like I am reliving memories
watching every inch of you die again,
the memory I vaguely remembered
was digging through your pockets..

The futility of will, but a whim? to who laments this turmoil
for however long it takes for you to turn back into the soil.
As these destructive tendencies turned into lonely waves
with the idea things will change, like a chain linking futility.
As well as futility that's already coming through your veins
it leaves just to take it in again and again, until it fully sinks
in, the red waters shallow, until it comes to me as content
can you imagine the strength it took not to fully allow it
if I could see a small contrast I could gladly taste the bullets
I could face the reverberating void that chases the distance

you within a frame— like it was an epithet
I picture you as this namesake— I picture
the multiple reasons to pull and take aim
whether it was same nature or the same name
a trigger no, a sniper for a different reason
I feel the suns breath introvertly submerge
to feel these first real attempts at freedom
like firing a shot that breaches the air first

The seasons we took for granted, what if seasons were gone.

As if we will fill the hypothetical graves we just opened.
We know too well that there is no doomsday date
telling us, when the end may or may not come.

What was it to die and to not die
a ravens eye, in those I saw death,
in the blackness that was the shape of a jewel,
I saw a miniscule light, like the end like a gun to its barrel... dying in the name of Odin,
I extinguished its flame, I foresaw the end like Odin...
I saw the dissipating light slip from many; many eye
I saw the once great Yggdrasil wane like a flower
I shared the greatest pain as I saw something precious die
to me its an omen how something so beautiful could petrify
Similar to the Vikings...I was facing my subsequent Ragnarök
but before those jaws of Fenrir had swallowed up the sun
plunging us in darkness,
to be cast from the heart the mind, tossed aside like a pebble...
wondering how to locate it among the ones of others;
the countless others who cast theirs down here--
to the bottom. without any hopes of recovering it
but like yours they were also here for a reason,
plummeting lower than your claims of reason
ever a lust to throw a stone to the thickest heart,
watch, how it sinks into it no different from tar,
bleeding without remorse for who sent it down here,
thinking that this was about "as deep as it gets"
death wasn't especially slow its just the variant
to how fast life slips, as time never really forgets

Vicariously i taught you how to fight
I see the myriads of crows black feathers cry, murder,
their cawing, the taunting that quickened in my mind
vicariously, talking through me but I was no mind reader,
I was never a seer seeing but neither was I blind
trust me when I say so quick
it was a trick there was no control
just the voice in the back of the mind,
telling me and telling you to test it
taste the metallic taste between each your gums,
feel the sort of fear that makes you blood thicken,
see the harpooning nature of these molars-- sink,
as your lips quiver the fastest pace--the blood quickens,
tell me do you believe in your god till your blood administers

One without the other was neither by LumenArtist, literature
Literature
One without the other was neither
Birds they may lack feathers at birth
but your colours would show in a covering snow
resonating as you learnt me how to flutter
but even with her lack of words
she helped me learn to say what words couldn't
she used eyes and ears and signs beyond ever letter;
she could read rhymes and read my mind
read every line,
but better.
She was my personal mind-reader
while i was blind, even if she left
i wouldn't see, as this was like scarlet fever.
You was my eyes and i was your speech
holding onto her with every effort
as one without the other was neither.
We were a treason, we were the seasons, doomed for a loom-less reason,
a life on one side and a murder on one, willingly we consume our freedom.
Within the shinning gossamer was i but mere, was i fierce or was i feared,
one side was a black smile to a black canvas you didn't know was here.

Well-wishers with no name
We were the vicarious imprints of runaways none remembered
none ever reached, in the silent remains of a silent speech,
of a naked sky. since we were goners in a winter
you sank my head like a blizzard had its courage
A hybrid which was cascaded from water colours,
bribed in a negligence, was we like necklaces and well-wishers with-no-name
like our mannerisms were chained together
did we just live to guide our spirits flame
rather the wind was nostalgic youth was those study branches,
now broken up bicycles laced with ruses of rust
moving away almost never leaving a trace
abandoned homes, paying homage with dust
those bare

Felt as a shiver fell soon
Waiting calmly as you slept your calmest in the dark
when a muse painted into your simplest smile
your looks were far from resembled remarks, remarkable
when others resemblance was out by a mile
As the heart we hath once was a faded memorial
instead forged in the widowing winters
dark to the light of a deadening moon,
imperial perils as pale as the dead
prevailed, when all that lived withered, and all that was felt as a shiver
fell soon
as soft as gentle as whiffs of chamomile
dark as a poem frail as a delicate flower
heralding a throne of thorns...
was it rust or stone we rub between our fingers

A figure of a former man
So there was a story of "a figure of a former man"
He wasn't what he had claimed to be
whose heart was a withered meadow
of a petrified wood reduced to sand
As a kingdom it would fall as a desert
to a well, what sprawled to embers of an end
was a inner demon, a treason,
that no thirst could ever quell.
No longer was he a whole, just "a figure of a former man"
Knowing he used to be so earnest, and used to be so kind.
Seeing now how he danced with the devil
dishevelled, as he too was the devil in his mind
No ransom, no reason, just treasons like seasons
he waned them till frost covered blood bled dry
to blotted out suns, now blotted

The leftover sense that led me
here from the dawn to summer
on the flickering shores that remember;
the moment when you felt your life begin
the moment you felt the summer sun
hit your skin,
excitement, passing warm between
bodies of brazen poems
and timeless strokes that dawn of summer,
my wish was to be the waves beneath
the moonlight skies that burnt emerald,
and glistened, Like a sight yet discovered
the final, precipices to dreams
from a distant wing, before the dawn
to summer wishes were my everything.
As delinquent hearts open here to the ridden path
to distant tears and how we felt them.
As a name from a friendly voice spoke
to obtain from this a odd sense of happiness,
as a soft voice would introduce the reverse of melancholy
as hope would return from the happen-less
the hand that held was an open chest,
which we kept to never lose it.
Next to the river that ran
hung by a noose over brambles
do we wait to be saved by the hand that swims
with the wings that grew ever entangled
with intentions to trap; to free,
happily your body was a wave,
uttering its name, illusively, a loose-leaf
your body was the waning arm
Faith; an arraying breath shrouded in these founded hopes
a rag earned in loss. Some steeped
some lesser, some abound with glory
as the breaths of glass that crossed memories.
Bound in sureness, valour
was this the clear of path
the pure of colour.?
Procured by the wise overcome by the perished,
we wished those steeped the kind and resolute
were like truths wilt-less, lips guiltlessly
quilted seams spoken like a flowers chute
How can it not be serendipity
the way I found you was a happy accident
wilted not from bribery
built up from ivory waves...
Your strummed chords of white,

He took out a time-worn book with a book mark where he left it,
old but humble worn in all the places you'd expect
from something so lovingly kept...
inside he wrote; his epitaphs, his memoires,
like peering into an open chest
like burrowing you head into its pages,
from love lost, to hearts entangled,
as an umbilical noose that hung
trying not to choke itself to death
excitement eventually filled the air,
not just second-hand breath to lungs
and in the rush you felt it,
a sudden sharpness ran to inking tips
was it pain or was it joy
that remembered us
so vigorous,

Oil-paintings, pastels, pigments,
a memory captured in still-life.
Looking at dire expression
what i saw would last me a lifetime,
as beneath the black-lines my spirit would stir,
startling all those who would stare too deep.
So eerie was the blood bruised exterior
many could not move nor speak,
Paralyzed by fear
as in the distance there was a distant shriek.
Grotesque. Those who knew it
drew no breath.
Just from a single glance, a grimace,
felt like-the direst wrong.
I felt petrified,
as my own death, is what i had witnessed all along.
