breathe in
now separate these
figurative ideas
re-arranged parabol
such holy bullshit
scripted in the mask
you wear each day
to hide
the unknown

to the restless
head
that seems to
magnify
thirty times
tongue
never stops the assumption
of how it feels to
fight for your rights
in the ocean
scream your imagination at the skyline
watch it wipe both lips
surfaced before the sun
native
you can hold my scars
before you see my medals
worthless
to compare that which
sits on the surface of my skin
the reminder
remainder of a loss vs a win
you can taste it
for 100 years
thus he smiles
on the shoulders of giants
each sliver of imagination
the way i left him
in a world of
hidden agendas
cross it before you rule me
in your entitled reign

out the door
in through the eyes

in a fever
you twist my arm
on the deep end
you break me
only in dreams
do you fall silently
hands reaching for
something beyond this
sweat and arched backs
patience
none are victorious
in dreams you strike first
with a blow to the chin
then i pin you down
such a world wind of breathing
chuckle
to express your true nature
at heart
never too hard
we explore each passage
in another time

He lays in wonder
what it feels like
to open
then sting his emotions
sit closer
bare his outer exterior
but he doesn't know
how to wear his honesty
like a shoelace on fire
wave the night goodbye
with your branches
as he clings
then climbs into your mind
no emotional pull
he just thumbs the pages
the only sense of feeling
he's ever known
locked alone in a room
of his will
her control
head room with cards
guarded
the true gateways of his mind
non-informative
as he waits for the doors of perception
to speed open
and thrash him about
longevity
not in a four zero end
gravitate
let the night break you open
like the nutshells you crack to read
bare these needles
unbreakable skin
then you'll crawl
when the night has appointed me head
king of the night life

should i taste
or try in five years
when the visions have
denounced all pain
and the eyes wear shields
we're cloaked in rain
warm in survival
run after me
keep up
for ten thousand miles
you cannot chain me
this wild animal
not to be tame
just be warned
i'll keep you warm
but only until the wind tells you
to leave
for its all a dream

break you in
teeth
in a storm
of surrendering images
show me
don't expel
or tempt your fate
to drink from each version
of the truth
smeared on the eyes
no masacre
just edge of dawn
without sleep
wear the shadow like a kennedy
blink until you're 127

Replace the position
edge
twice
to reconsider
the firmaent
it;s ashe
clear view
without a cup
smashed shards
built up inside you
wear a crown
till it digs
into your jaw
throw up
the logical
no defensive

wing

cannot call you
out on it
nor embrace your handshake
to touch
that which is weary not bare
face paints a realism
a shield to hold up as I
fly into battle
dawned in broken fists
you're lovely
but your still locked time
age well
bring it to your skin
find each unlocked door
maybe someone will
open up
let you in
not forward
nor alluding to your truth
just a solo fractured
pilot
thus it's blue inside you

glazies

washed me in
you know it's tempting
to show the shadow
my foot
where it's been
how it feels to cling to
that which cuts me
each and every time
slings in verse
screams in violent
tones of bliss
burn me outward
no sick breath
i'm not looking to wash it down
with a kiss
