burning priceless hearts,
hearts filled with soul ashes

The Mosaic of Love
You lift your lover high in the
peace splattered sky, orange clouds
like sherbert fill with the scraping
glow of evening, melting over
your sprouting love
you lift your love so high, that

blistering and liquidating into boiled

like gothic bells in hell), but
you can see their mouth wide open,

Forgotten
I can only piece you together
with colored glass like rose
window; I can create the most
angelic art with your red shards,
your blue piece stars, yellow
flaring gems; I can mend your
shattered image into a moral
cathedral, I can point you to
the rising sun, let the warmth
seep into your veins
I can let your image shine in
my village, a neon show for
innocent peasants to stare in awe
"Look at all the colors!"
"Look at the glow!"
"It's like heaven!"
But what are you, still?
What do they know?
You're just a heap of shattered memories.
Flow
When the hand hugs the pencil
The spirit is absorbed in tranquility,
Gears begin turning and corks begin twisting-
Creativity is birthed with a full head of hair
This is the time a soul cries
It calls out to the world
Trying to break free from the body
Reaching out, it signals to people
The blue lining between spirit and body
Glows with potential and excitement
Blood rushes through tunnels of arteries
And that boundary is finally broken
The spirit takes over the body
Indulged, the body sinks in the river of thought
Baptized by its holy waters
Spreading its word to other pregnant souls
The Flow is the start of it all

The Coma
I know you look at me
as a forest, or a piece of
chewing gum: sweet, nice
at first, but not everlasting.
I know you may glare at me
in the halls like I've become
a begful peasant kneeling at
your feet for some spare change,
rattling my tin cup filled with
pity. I know you think of the past,
you and I sitting together and laughing
as the movie drums by with lions and
bugs, as something of a flaking dream
chipped off your window panes, drifting...
fluttering sparrows. I know you look
down on me now as a stranger.
I understand. I understand that you've
endured a coma. Your friends left and

Search
I search in me
words that shine like
Las Vegas neon city lights
hanging over prostitutes
and men drowning in drunken
stuper, fawning over women
with plastic lips
words that shed light on dark
cobble street corners from
old england villages, rain dazzled
and grey beaten when the sun turns
damp and fog nuzzles its back
against chipped window panes;
words that bring life to paintings
Caravaggio words that resurrects
hollow hearts of still figures in
three point perspective; words that
can stare through any soul and say
"You're a twisted person in a twisted world,"
I don't want commensalism
I want words that can infe

Wind
You call it the Wind
I call it the blade of
emerald oars rowing
a viking ship past trees,
splitting air with its nose
like an angel's sword.
You say its sound is the
shifting of leaves, the
rustling twigs dangling
on oak trees, nuts and
pine cones plucked from
trees, falling face first
to fertile ground;
I say it's the howls of
arctic wolves stooping
over hills of
Canis Lupus Arctos
rippling air across the
Earth like skipping
pebbles in a pond.
You say it is the atmosphere
shifting left and right,
floating tectonic plates
scathing across each other,

The discovery that your ideals are not shared by any others.
The realization that your friendship is motivated by greed.
The sadness that the love you feel is not felt towards you.
Shattered windows,
Chipped window panes,
Sanity or insanity,
In love or in vain,
Crumbled doors,
Hinges a sway,
Life or death,
Night or day,
Caved in roofs,
Shingles scattered,
Amused or upset,
Appalled or flattered,
Rotting flooring,
Cracked and aged,
Injustice or truth,
Happiness or rage,
Crumpled housing,
Sick and torn,
Forgive or forget,
Miss or mourn.

Being Forgotten
I remember how your voice would chime softly to the beat of my starving heart
As the butterflies encircled the hollow drum of my torso
And impaled the faint organ whose beat I can still march to
Only because beneath the vacant prattle
Is the life you save each day
But the weight of that growing weariness
Is tiring out the hands that still hold my heart together...
"Why didn't you say there was poison in your tea," I said as she
fell so beautifully against the marble floor. "My beloved..." I presumed.
With a grin of no kind, "I'll miss your sweet words, gestures and
gorgeous eyes." I dropped the cup. As it shattered against the floor I
arose from my seat and wrapped my arms around her. You will never be
missed, because now, you are mine, f o r e v e r, and you will never
leave nor run. For my love, you are mine.
I wisped my hand against her lips. Cold and dead. Then I ran my
fingers through her gol

Silver Chariot
I dread hearing
you say "I'll miss you"
I dread baring those last
words like the clicking
hooves of a silver chariot
trotting down rain battered
cobblestone, pale shattered
light in puddles below, splashed
in the drum beat of rain clouds
and horse feet;
I dread seeing the gold embroided
velvet cloth slabbed over the
horses' neck; the emblem
of the eagle sewn silver
on its side
I dread seeing the cab
driver's head peak from
the dark inside;
he opens
the door for you but I
tug on your shirt like a little
girl; you turn to me with rain
mixed tears rolling down your
cheeks

My nature is Space I have little stories written in constellations stars that breath in words and splatter light over a canvas of poetry I have ideas that sprout blooming like the Big Bang yet shimmering in icy waves almost ready to fade off into the oblivion of the world.

I know that not many people read my journal entries, which is okay because I'm not like some kind of famous Deviant art user or anything, but I wanted to ask a question to anybody who manages to read this. This is what I think of whenever I'm slightly bored, or maybe intoxicated with lack of sleep.
What is time?
Maybe I sound like I'm tripping or something, just questioning everything that I know very well, but I think this question has been a question for many different people. So, do you think it's something physical or something abstract? Do you think it's even real? I'm curious as to what your opinion is, and don't be afraid to get crea
