I am open to the possibilities

but these days my heart rarely beats

stir me, whip me a frenzy

let out all my kinks

I need substance

Words of affirmation

Bless the dust

Curse the ash

Cloak the shattering glass of my wings

Carry me on high in the steps of my grief

Quake

Dear Misery

your grief blocks the road

today I say no more

I await you nevertheless further down

watch your steps

Down on your knees

unearth me sings Misery

Unshackled glory

I become what I seek

Swept into a raging stream of consciousness

Plucking possibilities out of the present moment

Like pebbles perfectly placed

How’s your day been love?

Aching for me to wake

Wide eyes carry anticipation of the sunrise

Curious inspiration crafting visions on paper

Swallow me whole letters untold

Ache in the wake of my eyes

In the openings of my mouth, stir souls

The words you wished you said, reckless in their purist of more

Burn bold like bullet holes through better men

Peace of the present moment

soak into me

unshackled infinite; boundless across the heavens

Grief aches in my palace

Even my bones are Black

I’ve got ink on me

black stains like grief

fall leaves crunch under feet

heaven’s angels watch over me mama pleads

Mama pleads

salvation on the other side of the feast

Did you eat?

Fake friends,

never needed them

already running from the devils trapped under my skin

Break free

My sin

Lovely angels singing hymns on hurricane winds

I’m eating from the plate of a king I’m free

You’ve been crying for a while now lost at sea

I don’t believe in destiny

Running free I built these chains of gold

I worked

I’m missing links

I promise soon no more for me

I promise soon no more for me
