Poetry

Flames

The brick walls

Full of dark smoke

Contains blistering heat

Fighting for our salvation

The cooling waters

To put out this flame.

Brighter and brighter

Can I escape?

Will I escape?

Coughing and hacking

Running and tripping

Trying to get out.

The flames are too much

My body can’t handle

And I lay down to die.

Beautiful Shadow

Beautiful shadow

Concealed flower

Cobalt petals

Your transparency is lingering into the open

The landscape sits restless

Mist covering your silhouette

Can you find tranquility?

What does the mirror show?

A trickling of tears from your indigo heart.

Unsure

My mind is so distorted.

I want to escape and be free.

My body aches

Time beats faster

No matter how many mistakes

My life will always be a disaster.

How much longer can I go on?

While my heart gets unsteady

Every vein in me wants to be gone

Am I so deadly?

There is nothing more I desire

Then to no longer be a liar.
