Charles Baudelaire, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Charles Baudelaire

[youmenosunrise]

Calamity

[youmenosunrise]

sorrow made you

on a full moon

any bloodshed

would bleed for two

any curse would

find itself without use

a night, ablaze

but the sky without

a hue,

sorrow made you

within the tomb

built treacherous

and cruel

to keep others away

from a destiny

you neither

believed in or knew

[youmenosunrise]

i am only mortal

made of flesh and bone

but my prescence is still felt

long after I am gone

these words are just ink on paper

made into metaphors and verbs

but they carry the weight of flesh,

felt, rather than heard

the day is to night

as light is to dark,

a breath of life into the blue sky

and the soft kiss as death's lips part

i am only mortal

my bones used to etch my story in stone

the blood in my veins has long since

dried away,

but my soul still remains

alongside the light that guides us home

my words bleed from the paper,

like marrow through bone

life amongst the pages

bind along the spine,

polish the cover,

breathe life into it's soul

[youmenosunrise]

Chateau/Shatter!****

[youmenosunrise]

been playing with

dead roses and

broken hooves,

mixed the tar with

deer, lavender

and mugworm

roots,

seen auburn

turn mortar,

turn crimson

and soon

there will bear

a thread that only

knows truth

Somber sea

Dim lights

Casual catastrophe

Natural remedies

And

Sober me

Anything to rhyme

Every line

With the small ounce [of]

dependency

lace it with promethazine

burn it under evergreens

and let me dream

for a few more centuries

Casual and extreme

I lost myself in the forrest

Hoping you’d find me

[youmenosunrise]

doodle 33

Twist and fall

Turning

Like pretty windmills

of autumn,

burgundy and gold

tumbling below

I’m rich in what matters

[torrentialmonsoon]

I’m more than sunrises and sunsets; I’m the horizon resting upon your lips, awaiting for my edges to elevate. 

[youmenosunrise]

and I am only

edges,

sharp and

benign

Every sunrise

there’s a harvest to reap

the race of men

to meet

souls

to gleen

And sunset

we mustn’t forget

surrenders you

to the endless

Horizon

peaks and depths

you have yet

to brave

[feral-song-deactivated20180428]

A girl lost her head ‘neath the old apple tree. ‘Nothing’s working’, she said, ‘please, set me free.’

[youmenosunrise]

A doll whose lost her mind

‘Give it time’, they said

'It’ll come back to you’

But who wants a plastic heart,

silicon skin, a few extra parts

She turns, unabashed and says

'Things are fine the way they are’

[evanescentincinerator]

Whats the difference between pleasure

And the sudden absence of your pain

Though by gallons and inches we measure

How easy to forget the impact of the rain

They pray yes but, i remember

The day god answers is the last ever

[youmenosunrise]

What is the difference between,

pain and pleasure

There’s no use in using

the weather to measure

a doomed love, written

with words so devilishly clever

If only your heart was as

light as that feather

we could measure forever

instead of yesterday’s together

[youmenosunrise]

Snow Angel

Rather,

temporary angel

graceful and yet

fragile,

scattered like ash

across wind and gravel

countless of

careless droplets,

frozen feathers

sprinkled

on the ground

pale beauty

and

nature’s cruelty

as she

melts

somber and

without a sound

[youmenosunrise]

scar

doodle 73

hoarse, hearse

sputtering through

a slur of chokes and

curses

tongue of dead,

flicking over words

in favor of grunts

crawling through

the living

to find a home

for the decayed

amongst stone

and dirt

death's chaperone,

the only way to ferry

a soul, when death's

just the beginning

and life has been

one long road

dye it crimson

dye it gold

but the only sound

is that

old engine's groan
