Run, rare rabbit,

The hounds chase closer.

Fear, horned hare,

As to die is to die is to die.

Burrow, burned bunny,

Your blessings only last so long.

By last jackalope,

I swear to you safety’s

Lost jackalope,

There is no blame.

Bleed, dear jackalope,

And feed the reaper sew.

[neverlasting-letters]

Rings below,

I love you,

Your smile and eyes and hope.

And by the Gods,

Do I taint you?

Do I help?

Stars above,

I love you,

Sun and moon aside.

My heart alone is yours.

[neverlasting-letters]

As when you allow

The blood to pool,

A metal smell with rot

And past tears.

They tear.

Limb from eye,

And you watch

The world finish.

You are your own god,

Spelled in blood.

[neverlasting-letters]

A metal chorus

And sketches bodies

Exist

Only to be destroyed.

Voice on top of voice,

Of lie or truth they tell?

To bend reality

To your will

With a single choice or two.

Make way for tragedy.

[neverlasting-letters]

It always makes me smile

To hear her laugh

And soft sayings.

She’ll compare me

To Psyche

Or Helen of Troy.

I love her whispers

Of secret confessions

As she traces figure eights

With delicacy upon my skin.

I want to see the stars reflected in your eyes.

[neverlasting-letters]

Drown in liquid life,

Bathe in liquid gold.

To decide one’s fate

Black and white,

A limbo between mountain and rivers.

Give me love and life,

If only to reach the mighty.

[neverlasting-letters]

You step back

To watch the sand

Fall

From the glass moon.

You sink to the Seabed,

Packed tight

With stories and bliss.

Yet you watch smiles

Never quite meet eyes.

The holy water

Will stop at your hand.

To call creator, to be blessed by raconteur’s eyes.

[neverlasting-letters]

She’ll watch her heart Split open.

No terror, no fear.

Guts spilled

From her torn open abdomen,

Falling to the floor

With a sickening sound.

She watched,

Already dead.

Her heart beats on the floor.

[neverlasting-letters]

Gates on which

A raven roosts,

Beady red eyes

Will watch.

Lost souls float,

But the stag will break

Land and sky.

Your death,

Not yet eternal damnation.

Dead, never the less.

No promise will be kept by our Raven.

You are at your own hands Nevermore.

[neverlasting-letters]

A frightened child, terrified.

If he should say anything to her,

he might make everything worse.

—

All around them was carnage. Scarred and blackened, he sat up.

“Did I do this?”

Unable to help it, he started to laugh,

Hysterical to be alive.

[neverlasting-letters]

They whispered

Of their treason;

A betrayal

To discard their purity.

And so,

The clouds part,

To where it no longer shines.

Rag-dolled, mortal body,

Wrapping in limp wings

To fall is to fall is to fall.

It is there they sobbed.

Displeasing the Gods,

This shall be their fate.

Apologies for the lack of posts this recent week, I have been preparing for finals and exams. Thank you for your patience, and daily poems will continue tonight.

- Q.W.

[neverlasting-letters]

White ashes,

Dust to dust,

A dagger sits

Below my pillow.

No one expects

Such an angel

To set the world ablaze.

And when you were refused love

From silver spoon,

You learned to lick it

From knives.

Yet you gained a craving for blood

After licking your own wounds.

[neverlasting-letters]

Every smooth, polished piece

Of colored crystal

Has faced storms.

The waves and rain

That make you sick;

The stones kicked up

That you blame.

Then, the sun may welcome you.

Each shard a treasure.

She loves you, she loves you,

She loves you.

The storms reside.

[neverlasting-letters]

Someday the stars

Will birth

A god of the cosmos.

She will be grand,

With amber eyes

And tar black body.

Her fingers will be tethered,

Like a puppet master and strings.

That shattered voice,

Great in gentle power,

Will shake space.

Someday,

I will wake in her palm.

[neverlasting-letters]

In space

A boy they sent

His emotion

Left behind to die.

And those that sent him here

Hunger for a teardrop

Among the stars.

A sole girl of gold

Who tastes peoples world

Sits upon the boy

And the eye.
