Fucking Zen
Nothing is permanent
We thought
Simultaneously
Stoic
Sober
Prepared
We have this
This moment
Be it euphoria
Be it torment
Or most likely
Just existing
She looks at me
And just knows
I have no future
I glance at her
And feel
Her pleasant
Apathy
For us there was
No tomorrow
Imagine our surprise
When the future
Arrived
Like tip toes
It snuck in
Now in this second act
I can almost see
The place where
The second hand
Stopped
The world became so
Busy
Swarming
So perversely obsessed
With more
With next
I still have no future
Distant like stars
I still feel
Her pleasant apathy
Reality has never
Seemed so unlikely
As we watch the players
Act out tragedy and comedy
But we have this
This moment
And in it
All we have to do is be

For Those Who Endured
When I was 13 the world was dead
My eyes saw
Only the enevitable decay
My soul felt only destruction
A kaliedoscope collection of misfit kids
Freaks adorned in thrift store costumes
Wandering the streets in the dead of night
Crunching leaves beneath
Shoes afflicted with holes
It’s strange to grow up
With no supervision
It’s surreal to watch
Your heroes fail
Themselves and you
I watch us now
Older
Some of us repeat the mantra
I will never be like them
Some have become phoenixes
And some…
They embody the Uroborus
Devouring themselves
In a cycle of ruin and rebirth
All the while I am staring into the void
Climbing the highest cliff just to see
If this time I will jump
There is a fine line between bravery
And recklessness
And I am yet to figure out where it is
But I can say this
I am happy
The world has never been more alive
My scars only remind me
How beautiful these freaks
That I love so desperately are
We are the ones who live through the nightmares
And keep our dreams alive
Asteria
My head is fuzzy
Thinking through wet cotton
5:22 in the morning
Sunrise coming
Duplicitis calm
Enveloping me
A misleading
Witching hour
I cling to the last
Vestiges
Of the quiet night
Slumber calls to me
A hushed demanding
I close my eyes
Feel the weight
Of this eclipse
Only to open them
So that I may
Revel
In this blind silence
I let the nightfall
Gently kiss my lips
I let the silence
Caress me
The stars blanket me
I wrap them around me
Softly
They soothe me
Somewhere between
Dreams and reality
I inhale
Breath deeply
Taste all the possibilities
Insomnia has teeth
When the mirror reflects
Your face
But in the silence
When nothing exists
Except for you
There is peace

Stardust
The universe upon first look
Embodies chaos
Our eyes
Our souls
We can’t comprehend
Something so vast
Something so old
So we look at the pretty stars
We feel small
And try to forget
That those pin points of light
Burn and die
The universe spins
It dances it’s immortal dance
As it laughs
We stand in awe
With stardust in our veins
It all seems so mundane
In this existence
We dismiss that
These burning things
Are the light
The spark
That dwells inside
Energy
That if only
We let ourselves feel
Cannot be destroyed
Our souls exist
Beyond physical death
In the way that we loved
We are galaxies
There is comfort
In the night sky
For those of us who
Can feel it
An Insatiable Craving
I have been called brave
And I reply
There is a fine line
Between bravery
And recklessness
I have no idea where
That line is
As I stare into the void
I am overcome
With the desire
To dive into it
To jump off
The highest cliff
Every bone in my body
Begs to see
What is in this
Swirling mass of blackness
Curiosity killed the cat
And I must admit that
I am but a feline
Testing the limits
Of my nine lives
Because on certain days
The world is music to me
And I wish
To jump into the pit
Feeling that abandon
That comes with passion
Craving that moment
Of purity
