Dhdh

Don't wither in your shell 

As you wait for your name to be called

Into the spotlight 

Rejoice in the fact that

A friend, a foe, a fear 

Finished first. 

Celebrate this loss and 

Learn

For this is not the end

Noise

Scream at the noise,

Scream at all the noise.

Rage on

Because that's what you'll do,

All you'll do anyway. 

Drag out all your demons 

From the shade of your smile

String it in with

Your hurtful,

Tasteless,

Sorry attempts to insult and belittle;

Go on ahead and

Scream back out to the

Traffic within and without you

So you can sleep through your dreamless eyes,

March to the beat of the rhythmless chaos that

Envelopes you and yours. 

And resort

To internalise the noise;

Become it. 

Fairytales for You and Me

I'll live another day

If the notes to your song

Can outweigh the words

That

Keep you afloat 

Like the rest of us

And make me swim on

For the hours that await

I'll live another day

If every frame 

And Every pixel of your creation 

Has the strength 

To capture the essence 

Of why you 

And I 

Seem to breathe 

I'll live another day

As long as the story

You tell 

Pushes it's way 

Through every fibre

Of my sequentially 

Ill-equipped existence 

And inspires. 

Contoured Eyelashes

Contoured eyelashes tug at the sky

Clouds turn to dust in the blink of an eye

Vacant stares, they cost you your life

They sour your bones, cut like a knife. 

Burn marks and inks are not who you are

Corrigibility is not a long road afar

Time is our music and time is our noise

We are its author; We are its toys

Spectre

The dog smells his way back home

When blinded by the light;

The sorrow breeze is carrying

The spectre of a kite

He surrenders at the feet of pain

Begging for the past

Praying for to feel again

For long it may not last

If all your sorrows and all your pains

In redemption you think may end,

Look right up when falling apart. 

Pretend, my friend. Pretend.
