I LOST MY MARBLES ONCE. I’M LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF AS MUCH AS I LOVE MARBLES. 🌵 MY SPIRIT PLANT IS A CACTUS—THEY BLOOM FLOWERS TOO; HOWEVER, FEW STICK AROUND FOR THE DARK NIGHTS TO WITNESS THEIR BEAUTY. THIS IS ME. BLOOMING SEMI-BEGRUDGINGLY. SO, FUCK YOU AND THANK YOU.

Closest Distance

Chastened chest Constricted congestion, Coughing up confessions Of fermented love For you. The contagious Brightness of your eyes Compete with The wildfires of mine Time and time Again We lose seconds When choosing our First choice last.

Closest Distance

Unpublished shit

How you shatter through me Like the conversation piece Spoken of but not to How you believe I fade into The shadows of neglect Yet I shimmer violently Without meaning to And I have half a mind to ask for pardon… How these bruised knuckles Have hardened Into the softener of calloused hearts I weep before I wallow You are my brother before My fallow You need no pardon For the…

Petals + Leaves

Hugs — To embrace space is to hug infinity What they don’t tell you about the expansion journey…They say that you can’t take items with you and that some people won’t be able to join you in where you’re going. What they don’t tell you is some of those people will include your past selves. So now I find myself watching petals and leaves fall while taking notes on how to shed what was. Petals +…

A Beauty Born Internally

People got you fucked up. Misunderstood in your ways of innovation. Obliteration leads to transformation. A transcending of trauma. Transmutation, Expansion — Bursting at the seams like A caterpillar’s crystallization… Let me remind you: A butterfly never witnesses the beauty of its own vibrant wings. Much like you, a beauty born internally. A Beauty Born Internallyby…

Cardboard Mansions

Baby keep calling on me to be the one you never seen coming. I loved you before you seen yourself… You self-ignited beauty– Mansions made of cardboard boxes, we are papier-mâché prayers bound by the glue of blind faith. Light the sage so the smoke can Cleanse my smudged fingertips. Cardboard Mansionsby SPCHTHRPYAugust 2, 2023 Umbraby SPCHTHRPYAugust 2, 2023 Shimmering Lenderby…

Umbra

Sunburst star rise slit eyes, summer sunrise Your scent breezes through like September… with fingertips chilled like Boston Decembers You’re the last thought I thought I’d remember. A suspended sunrise, who can surmise such beauty? Your voice rings– a resounding cacophony Do you remember me? I crossed bridges of broken eternity. Do you believe in me? A broken foreshadow, A…

Shimmering Lender

Light shimmered on the Things I have shadowed… How can there be such Glimmering, Glinting off of Hallowed gallows? Heavy hangs the head Whose mind Is light. Do I swallow regret Or Do I follow the trail Of Sorrows? Begging the Creator As if a “Lender” For tomorrow? To whom am I borrowing?

DS

I’ve been both my own demon and savior Oh, how I savor The taste of supple Self redemption. Not a song, A clashing reverberation— Undulation of battle cries, Weeping dry eyes Can best witness The sunrise Of the soul Outgrowing, overcoming All that was known.

My Turn

So I kept scouring,Seeking out beauty capableOf placating the gentleHum of pain inside. When the loopsOf nooses beganTo resemble acrobaticHoops,I laughed in Pain’s face. It was finally my turnTo tell her,“Don’t take it so seriously.”

And that’s okay baby,You’re on your path.You’re not ready to be seenWhile I’m ready to be felt. When riptides collide with undercurrentsThundering like torrential mercenaries…Nothing on you…However, this heart is not availableFor target practice. I’d rather be at peace with myselfVersus at war with the world.Than to be at peace with the worldAnd at war with myself. Beyond stepping into my…

@ccireland_art I know you won’t see this letter because you’re off somewhere trying to get better… I hope you know you haven’t faded behind your demons’ shadows and that someone unconditionally loves you. I heard our song today, and was stung by jagged memories poisoned with nostalgia, I could taste your name in the corner of my cracked lips and the spaces between my fingers have…
