How to kill a writerInk on a blank sheet, suck dry a body
through the pen sitting between a finger
and an open vein, he won't last longer
than the emptiness written about she.
               Doctor.
Words to enlighten the path leading your
spark to the edge of the world, it's futile
when you're already falling, it's obscure.
               Doctor,
               we're losing him.
Paper to walk on like a white tile
ready to be broken by many she.
               It's too late.
Used to live but forgot when he
               It's too late,
               he's gone.
di RealityWhat is the time?
What is reality?
we live in a world of abstract conceptions,
how to differentiate the real from the imaginary
if we do not know what they really are.
We wander through this world thinking that we understand,
believing that we control it,
believing that we can change our destiny,
we, insignificant beings in this world,
beings with an air of grandeur,
with ephemeral existences, without importance
I'm tired,
tired of carrying this weight on the soul,
tired of fighting this endless solitude,
my body weights and slows,
my heart is dried and withered,
I want to rest,
to close my eyes and sleep,
forget this fact this reality,
travel to a world of dreams,
travel to a universe of ideas,
and lose myself in fantasy. MementoSoftly, I close my eyes.
From the shadowy darkness that I perceive before me
A miniscule strand of light suddenly spirals outward
While I marvel at its simple form of being, more follow
Guided to me, from every corner of this ethereal antechamber.
These strands of existence glow ever so warmly
As hundreds of them rise from their long-forgotten graves;
Assembling, in unison, working to form a picture -
A picture from a time forgotten, a time long ago.
As if whispering softly, they dispel my illusions of
Why I am, where I am, who I am
And, from the faded pages of my destiny
They reveal what they wish to show me, which is
Who I have forgotten, over my long years of living.
As they clarify my reasons in life, I see
The visage of a familiar face, standing out among thousands of the same -
Tranquil and unbroken by my hasty actions.
It brings back such strong memories of loss and regret
As to make me fall, fall but not move, but only wait.
Forever, now, that image will remind me
And I will ne
The Reality of RainbowsThe Reality of Rainbows
i am a rainbow,
my battered body a vulnerable canvas for his rampant rage.
i am no masterpiece, no tenderly cultivated opus
on proud display for public admiration.
just look at me!
painful gashes drip crimson warmth down the thighs and back
already scar-scored, tinged angry red and blazing orange;   
arms mottled with sickly green-and-yellow bruises,
the newly dealt ones still a throbbing, garish blue.
my right eye is swollen shut,
inflamed violet seeping into indigo
where fist met face.
each blemish has its own tale to tell:
they scream of cowering on the floor, heartbeat pounding in ears,
of anxious knawing at my fingernails til they bleed,  
of uncontrollable trembling as boots clomp drunkenly upstairs,
of liquor-soaked breath and shattering glass,
of begging and shrieking and explosive, all-pervading pain,
of wearing baggy sweatshirts and long pants in summer,
of lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
this
is
the
truth.
does it matter?
rainbo I Am The Unknown SoldierI am the faceless millions lying under the sod ,
Strangers in this world but known unto God.
I am every cry that was uttered, every prayer that was said,                                                                       
Every life that was lost, every tear that was shed.
I am a world that grieved as a generation decayed,          
I am the poppies that grow in the fields, to this day.
I am sweethearts and husband, I am brothers and sons,       
I faced the front line; the cannons and guns.
I am the peace bells that rang at the end of the war,   Angel of the Night: ProloguePrologue
“The Fall”
She knew something was wrong when her six-year-old’s new dress stretched taught across her small, pale back. It wasn’t fear, not at first. Concern, perhaps, that her only child, her baby girl, had twin lumps on her shoulder blades. She knew it was the kind of thing that warranted a visit to the girl’s physician, but surely it was nothing serious. Of course not, because if it were serious, that would mean time and money and stress that she couldn’t afford.
She told her husband first, as any good wife would when faced with such a development.
“Did you see this, dear?” was her question, after he got home from work, after dinner, after cleaning up, after settling down in front of the television. It was at commercial.
“Mm? What?”
“Esther.” As the girl glanced up at her mother, the woman extended a hand. Obedient as always, Esther scampered over.
“Yes, Mommy?”
“Turn around. Let Daddy see your back.
Lost SoulA shadow, a memory
of a midnight reverie
watching, waiting silently
for the token of its passing.
Giving nothing, taking nothing
leaving nothing in its wake
feeling hollow, cracked ajar
nursing fading mortal scars.
Its perception slowly twisted
to the ways of darkened lives
it sighs, then recedes
fading back into our dreams.
But now our hearts are broken. Who am I? V.2
Who am I? V2
You didn't steal something that one can put a price on.
You didn't take away something that I could replace.
You didn't just hurt me...
You took away my very being; rid me of my very essence; stripped me of my very soul...
You took away something, oh so very important. Because of all of this hatred…
You took away me.
You changed who I was, stripped me of my personality and shaped me into this woman that I cannot recognise anymore. I look into the mirror and see my body underneath my face and yet… it isn’t me. The woman in the mirror is different. I can’t explain it, she just is. My very existence seems worthless now. I don't know what I live for anymore, I don't see how I can ever move on, I don't understand why you did what you did to me. You said it was to hurt the man that I loved, the man that loved me back... but honestly, I think you just hurt me a lot more than you hurt him by doing this. You said it was in revenge of somethi
