other world

and under the darkened overpass I met you. A black veiled figure with no eyes. A silent spectre of the night. I took your hand followed you through the cloudy haze of smoke walked shakily through the litter and the filth "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll guide you through the mess" you otherworldly creature how fantastical you were you started fading in front of me the harder I tried to cling on the more you faded til' you dissipated back into the stars again I'm lost when I look up at the stars do you look down at me too try to lead me from afar? I return each night to underneath the darkened underpass wishing you would appear but you never do and you never will

words all too often leave scars that stain the very pigment of my brain blush pink full of dreams full of life replaced by dull grey full of echoing sadness full of thoughts I cannot stop when will it ever stop

[ultraviolence-flowers]

don't give up this fight

even in the darkest days the moon will shine to guide you the stars will still appear luminous there is still hope there is still your beating heart there is still love there is still light don't give up this fight don't let them silence you don't let them harm you don't give up this fight.

goodbye to the spring time goodbye to the wonder goodbye to the memories goodbye to the people goodbye to the old life hello to the summer time hello to the clarity hello to the memories hello to the people hello to the new life

swirling all through the galaxy you took millions of years to form

you are made of stardust not infallible but it always shines as bright no matter what

you’re the first light of morning the setting sun the moonlight glistening on the rivers and lakes you permeate through every thing

and long after you are gone your light will still shine on you are everything -

I’d like to dedicate this poem to two very important people in my life @florakinesis & @the-age-of-the-shadow-monkeys their mutual support and friendship has been invaluable to me ~ and count my stars every day i know them

keep your head held high kid someday all the pain that you've stored all those words that stabbed you you will make into art someday all the pain will be turned into something beautiful someday all the pain will be loved by someone who loves you someday all the pain will lessen keep your head held high kid

stab me with your fountain pen fill my bloodstream with your words let them make me breathe again

they say that eyes are the window to the soul so then why is it when I look into yours I see none?

dear american white people, you preach a message of tolerance and peace you sit on a throne of lies your empire was not built by you black slavery and bloodshed built it

today you say how horrific or they were thugs they deserved it you are repeating the ethos as those that have come before you not the same words but the same spirit you are still killing black people day by day

now tell me who are the real thugs?

currents

drift out to sea slip through my fingers again everybody else sees you but do they see the real you?

I’m trying to catch you come back float before me in my dreams

return to me don’t go

too late the currents have taken you

hypocritical white people

you claim not to be racist but yet you still steal black culture for your own gain Hypocrites.

ghosts

there are many different types of ghosts in this world the ghosts of loved ones passed the ghosts of people just out of sight the ghosts of people you will never meet the ghosts of relationships the ghosts of friendships the ghosts of things that have happened though out of all the ghosts in the world why am I still being haunted by the ghost of you?
