Seen your Face

I have seen your face
Splinters of torment
Disecting me
Luring me into your seaping wounds
Those souless eyes
Cloaked in Shadow
Mourning the loss
Of a spirit
Within
I have seen your eyes
Empty
and black
a tongue
Void of dialogue
A gaping hole
In a mouth
Where teeth
are nothing more
Than bone

Shadows dance

Shadows dance with pure delight
A little girl
With damaged sight
Her vision blurred
Her kisses stolen
A whisper of a dream on her lips
These shadows parade
 around her frame
Clicking heels
For she is game
For every tear
This sullen child weeps
A nightshade shadow
Arises from sleep
For there was fear
when she was happy
Elixir when she smiled
The potency of her courage
Would paint the world
A while
Now into the purple
She's taken a step
Yet a stubborn heart
Fights with so much
Contempt
Shh! mama says
Dont let them hear
Dont let them see
For they steal pieces of what
You yearn to be
A bitter witch
A malevolent shadow
Beseeches in the darkness
Desperate to claim your song

Another self

Another self
Unmasking pain
I loosen the rope
You tighten the reigns
So much acid
From this Nightingales beak
Yet this isnt a dream
I am not asleep
The sandman watches
From beside my bed
Voices shriek
Angry in my head
A shiver runs
along my spine
It was not there
Those days you were mine
For days we would flash
Polaroid smiles at the world
Our Joy in infinity
Animated girls
I loosen the rope
You tighten the reigns
Determined to relinquish
Some of this pain

Moon in my lap

The moon sits between my lap, there is a thirst to conquer new world and taste a new sky. There is a sun on my tongue, i feel freedom wrap its arms around me. I feel love dancing a staccato against my heart. The universe has empowered me so, i feel it in every breath , in every song, in every limerick. I hear thoughts like percussions jubilating in my mind, spirit like a cyclop seduces me to another realm of possibilities, for a moon sits between my lap, and i am everything.

Fuel and fire

what you have inside you, is fuel, ammunition, and what that is is more than words. The power to translate simple words into affirmations, affirmations, into motivation, activity,momentum and consistency. Have a timetable, a schedule. Build a database of contacts keep practicing your pitch until it’s needle sharp, it has to be sharp enough to make an investor salivate. The right business language, terms, and knowledge of your industry will draw the right network to you. 

Freedom is aflame

You are challenging a self you are yet to discover, and on this Voyage,  challenging a self you are soon to become, open your mind, open your mouth and sing unto the clouds, for you are free , and there is no prison in your soul. A bird sits on a window ledge seducing you out into the open air, the magic of the great outdoor to enchant you away from your slumber. Remove the glass from your feet, you are no icicle dancing on hot coals, melting before the eyes of the world, you are free as a flame, roar and set the world on fire.

A vision like a trumpet

It was a vision that wept within me like a tempest , howled like a wolf, destroyed like a hurricane. In the morning when i slipped into my second skin, my bones were margarine and i was lost within myself. Caught in howling winds that ravaged and scarred, shattered and broke. I denied a separate self, eager to taste the pangs of success, when it bled my way.

Expanding your mind

It's true what they say about grit, determination it is your steel that will see you through. There will be tough times ahead, the days will seem more blurred from tears of frustration or seriousness, but you are using your will to pick up momentum. Your word is your bond, your dreams are your paradise, and you will get yourself there. Fate is not sleeping, but right now you need to tuck in your shoe laces so you don't trip over the stones, right now you need to hold unto the belief, the gift of promise you gave yourself, that when you have a goal, you'll chew on it until it snaps and swallow it whole. That when you have a vision you will allow yourself to be temporarily blinded by its beauty and you will take bold steps to see it come to pass. It's not about competing with others you are in a race with yourself , you are in a trial with yourself, how far can you push yourself where are your limitations? If you have any. You must believe in your potential, and consume the webinars and seminars you need to take off. One of the great ones is Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad poor dad, the richest man in Babylon, feel the fear and do it anyway, Anthony Robbins awaken the giant. Yet through all this you have to remember that one of your greatest teachers is you. You will teach your brain how to expand and communicate it's elasticity to the world.

Ghost boy cotton

The lonely girl

coiled in cotton

Oh how you detest

forgotten

voices
chatter

in your head

Excited noise
mermaids in the water
are all playing dead

For onions that
smile doth reek of hate

They celebrate

and then they wait

Pick your skeleton

toothpick from pick

As body lays

On floor now licked

With grooves arriving where skin was

Smoothe

Confidence stumbles with

ease of mood

I ask the numbers

I count the friends

Who stood the test

till bitter end

and battle dimmed

when rods were dropped

and legs now limped

counting numbers

A wolf or sheep

Your shaded self

Your perfect keep

We are all a contradiction

minds plagued with fears

and much affliction

as we lean towards the line

One day dreams

Will turn out fine.

The clouds will hum

a rum tum tum

Oceans dispel

a moses comes

yea though i

walk in valley of dreams

I clutch the stars

which tastes like cream

Missing

image by Claireveiler

It means the slip
of a tortured soul
A pool of wet
As we loose control
The sunken dreams
and hardened flesh
the phone box chimes
As we ring collect
A call to the outside world
Fingers pressing the dial
hands jittering like a christmas
tree with lights
"hello?"
he say's.
I melt like
i am my own Cocoa butter
Chew the gaps between supposed words
Pose on a foot
"Hello?"
Outside the streets are micro chipped
Inside this hub
i am animal
"Hello?" his voice melts me. I shake
the quivers
For i am his little jitterbug
I think of conversations lost
Conversations missing
blood from inside my mouth
rushes to my Teeth
I am a mass of paperclips
he is my Wizard of Oz
"Da.." i gurgle a sentence;
Then remember why i left.
Reciever is oil in my hands
i am slick with my own near
miss.

Apostrophies (Exploration)

image by Fionarose (deviantart)

Pieces of the puzzle
Slices of the pie
we open apostrophies
with the squints of our eyes
dot the lines
that paint the eyes
cater to streets
where shadows mourn
the crucified self
we cry old spirits to sleep
Teasing between our teeth
The knitted wool
Of the fear which plans to Seize us
I am short,
and tall once more
One minute high
forever small
Inching to the freedom
Graves lie where selves once used to be
In between
A folded me
I miss myself
Old crooked grin
The way i loved the soul within
It's simple self
The slip
of a soul that
was denied
It's Columbus.
