Resistance Reborn

Shackles cast of steel Held by ball and chain Heaving with my shame A pretense of a shield Stench of failure, unclean Decay chanting its creed Encased, the coffin is sealed I claw and try to scream To demons I forcibly kneel Fraying and tearing at seams Body bitter and maimed “Spare yourself and yield” “No!” Shouts a soul...

Love from Beyond

You may not be able to see me, but that does not mean I am no longer here. You may not be able to touch me, but that does not mean I am gone forever. The physical world may know me to be dead, but I am, in truth, very much alive – more alive, in fact, than I have ever been, In ways that you do not understand. You think that I am unaware of how...

Timeless Affection

The leaves on my oak tree never fall, They cling to their green through each season’s call. While grass may wither as autumn descends, It springs back to life, as the cycle transcends. In the chill of the air, when the colors fade, My heart stays steadfast, in your love I'm laid. For though time may change what the world can bestow, My...

existential dread

They gnaw at the edges of me, little sharp-toothed things with hollow eyes, crawling from the cracks in my skull to lap at the marrow of my thoughts. I used to fight them. I used to starve them. But hunger makes them cruel. So now I lay the table. Silver plates of regret, goblets brimming with old wounds, a banquet of memories too raw...

Steps You Never Missed

Let the Spanish Inquisition fall upon your hips, and your feet move like gunshots in the night. Let your breath escape as laughter while your whirlwind waist twists and twirls. You're so fucking free, and it shows in the way that you don't ever miss a step. I've heard music, but this was the first time I saw what her face looked like.

Finding You

i found you on a rock-shelf coast one bright spring day the thunderous waves so powerful and free i threw the ring as far out as i could and watched you disappear into the sea i found you walking through the trees one summer day delicious cool within the forest shade you touched my neck, my hot skin sudden chill and goosebumps, in that...

Images of Human Connection

I saw spring rain at the end of March. It drizzled as it was partly cloudy, Sparkling in periods of angelic light. It all seemed so much more heavenly Beaming below the ominous darkness. Mountains of mighty clouds turned, Rolling in the vast blue firmament, Building up in the horizon by dusk, To hold a majestic double rainbow. It resonated to the...

Misunderstood

I try to explain the things that I say What they mean in a particular way But with my condition of ADHD i say something, that no one can see Your wrong they say with your bad attitude Your selfish, narcissistic and really quite rude I don't like what say cause I feel it's not me But she keeps on pushing, it's you not me Im at my wits end with...

Hjálp! Kallað út í tómið Hjálp? Bergmálar í höfðinu Help! Screaming into the void Help? Echoing inside my head
