Transcending Limbo

In an incredible time

Between tragedy and solitude

Finding myself

Often becoming the in-between

difficult but demanding

When along comes Limbo

To tell which course

Or route should be ridden upon

What middle ground is posed

and caution offered

When you proceed to the fork

In the road to an open question mark

Near the expressway of possible answers

You choose the pathway

You pick the poison

Even when choice is avoided

By default

Consciously

You choose anyway

Mischief MAKERS

They introduce themselves by

Humming childhood lullabies

In reverse

Lips, plot twists and savagery

whispers cursed

Crawling within like spiders emerging from chrysalis

Passing their omens along

Busy bodies an open industry

How they thrive it makes them alive with tasks

Masks a specter

Offering libations

Laced kaleidoscopes

Illusions of fun and delight

Their reflection slightly off one

As they ensnare you

If you encounter mischief makers

Life takers

Partaking in

Disrupting lives

With outright lies

Equipped with sharpened knives

Be sure to protect yourself

To recognize

and be smart to sever ties

My Childhood Haunting

Palms dark

with blue aura

Holding me hostage in my bed

Haunting me

Cloak and covers my eyes

Hollow and cold

Bold with threat

Reminding me of my mortality

Though silent as it tend

Tending to my every fear

Feeling me endlessly

It has followed me for as long as I remember

Greeting and caressing me even as I sleep

It is a wonder why insanity hasn’t taken

My mind for which it holds

For it’s bold threat

Still threatening

Still tending to fear

Still haunting my inner thoughts

Still lingering until it finds

My soul and binds

VERSE: Wanderer, From In Between

My dialated pupils say

Bliss and to

Whisper sweet nothings

For nothingness begets itself in me

And we rise as one

floating on my feet

but everythings seems as though

It is from a dream

My vision is blinded

Yet I can see

Yet I can see and I scream in realization

Awaken, conscious with what erupted under

While I was under a spell

Bliss is wearing off

Wearing away my matter

As a stream of thoughts

Collide and I wonder

Am a wanderer

I’m rising to the surface

Blacked out and came back again

The haze became so great

So great I neared the point

where real and reality

Became two different things

To bear

VERSE: Great Thought Expanse

PiTcH Black

Stripped

Still susceptible of light

Multiple BoDiEs of Spectrums

Mixtures of ElEmEnTs

Detrimental

But as they swirl and swirve in oblongs

Scissoring, soaring

Occupancy tremendous there in

The mIrAcLeS of their state

Stable and constant

Continously clustering in conclusion

That with which seems pointless then

Purposely

Phenomenal sTaR beings pondering

Altering, the wondering of the wanderings of all existence

In our SARcopHAGus

we own WILL

And all is WON

VERSE: Something

Horizon

The day waking up to something

To anything

And sometimes to events we had not fathomed

In between

We living life honorable to our own abilities

Yet we reached and fought and got there

Eventually the sun reached noon

We had more to endure and with a sigh

We had to give up something through it

Through all and everything

Still meditating as we move on

Memories feel like dreams

Eventually

By the time the dawn reach the edges

The porch darkens

Our minds relieved and slumber sets in

The next day, doing it again.

I. Delight. In. It.

Indulge. So. Intensely. To. Reach. A. Rapture. Unexplored.

Ohhh. I. Have. Toured. Your. Inner. Realms.

Verse: CONCEPTS OF LOVE 1

Love

Soft like newly formed petals

Light but eager to give

Conscious within it’s own

Alive and eternal

Quiet sometimes

when it sits and waits

Exuding a light so mighty

A beacon to reunite

Lovers to peak

Even through the darkest of nights

VERSE: Eyes As Windows

Eyes are deeper than we know

deeper than the physical portions

Eyes tell stories

Eyes tell truths

Eyes open up metaphysical portals

Eyes tell lies

Eyes create life molding holding

Not withholding

Close them and keep your power

Expand them to add to power

Open your eyes

VERSE: LoVe LoSt BoUnD

**My only outlet to express my hurt and pain at this time, WordPress.**

Suffocating

Gasping sounds

Air gulped and pushed out

The room’s spinning

Eyes burning but shut

No words to utter

From dry mouth and tongue

It hurts don’t it

It hurts

But no ears to hear

Or care

This heart attack

Punishment for something or another

Most lethal and unfair

Slowing me down

Taking life in love from me

Tearing love from me

Taking all my might

To steady

To balance

To breathe
