Who knew the waves could be so cruel?
I want to understand
Why are the rocks forced to become
layers of fragile sand?
They crash, they charge, the World was Ours,
Water scatters like it fears
A deadly poison
A spooky spell
Causes everyone to dwell
Lures you in & spits you out
A shiny surface.
A pretty face.
Stains red all over this place.
They say
Fire is a deadly thing
because it can burn you
they say
knives are dangerous
because they can cut you
they say
drugs are bad
because they screw with your head
People draw with silver.
It comes out red.
Magic?
People walk with gravity.
They end up weightless.
Magic?
People eat a day
The food disappears the same day.
Magic?
I am not the violent type, no ? Can you not see?
I see her last breath in her flat chest as she heaves.
Thump thump said the summer rain
Once upon a time I was glad you came
Your touch reminds me of the wind
Of the moss and the trees
Secrets will be the death of someAnd if not physically then mentallyWe shouldnt keep secrets from our loved onesIt will scorn even the most forgiving, of course unintentionally
I've lost my taste for life
The bitter flavors numbed my tongue
Through prolonged exposure
The stench of moral decay
Deadened my nose to any pleasurable scent
I can no longer make due with the sweetened illusion
sickly man walks so far
deadly man falls so fast
kingly man rises tall
guilty man hides so well
sickly woman covers up
deadly woman twists too far
queenly woman takes leaps and bounds
