Your Last Visit

You are not a ghost

anymore, your last visit

you led me ashore

and the sea turned rose as you

held the wind and drifted on

Shade

For in parallel

words, they'll sing out with your souls

And will touch your fears—

Like a memory you've sold

to the road of the Unknown.

Siren

To bewitch man's soul

Hearts cling to clouded, wry smiles

That ache to tilt stars

Telekinesis

I never believed in it

Now I feel sure that

I can use my mind powers

To push you away from me

silent night

I love you I say

turned cold to me, my

wife’s angry shoulder in bed

her shape but shadow

let’s not fall out, I love you

love you too: her voice, downstairs

Tread Careful

Passing on is like,

the crispy leaf's dead release,

its might spent fully,

Majestic, spinning, to earth,

Though dead, it creaks, and startles.

As the dark night falls

I look inside a strange soul

Just to see, lurking

There, barely hidden

A monster I recognized

None other than me

I reached inside it

Digging amidst the shrill screams

To dig from deep in

To rip it all out

And just as night falls again--

I wake up, covered

In sweat and in blood

My heart outside in a glass

A rotten heart of

Black monsters and all

The things that we have feared, now

Sinking into me

As I scream, unheard

By a loud, ignorant world

The demons inside

Claw their way outside

The remains of a young boy

Emerging in a

Scattered, painful cry

If only, you saw

The beauty of the fire

Instead of my scars

Illuminated in flames

You could have survived my wrath.

Please count the footsteps,

and then please count the people.

The chill down your spine

is entirely normal,

but you must not look afraid.
