Ideas are matches They light fires in spaces devoid of reason and dismissive of logic The idea of a person will haunt those spaces long after the reality shows you different You created your hearts desire then you kept it in memoriam when it couldn't withstand the light You told yourself "How could it not be perfect still?" And then you stood aside as it bled into all that was good about you When it seeped into the carpet and made the tear stained patches crackle and pop You told yourself "Everything that's worth something hurts" You ran along side it as it streamed into the gulleys that fed your spirit And it poisoned you. Poisoned you into a mere shadow of yourself... And still you told yourself "If I could come this far then it must be mine" And then you blew away... Burnt to a cinder by smoke and mirrors

Bare feet humming dug into the ground Her heart smiles... Smiling into the swaying wind Dewing the leaves then dewing the earth A mud of clay and heart yearning before her. she makes little clay heart birds that may soar for her Rooted she shades her eyes to watch them A graceful willow in knotted shawls The hum in the earth coursing through her, Shading her hair.

Feeling around in my mind like antennae seeking out the weakness and fear, poking and prodding with fierce decision How can I battle an evil that rings such truth? Truth that lies beneath the scab of my seemingly fresh wounds, wounds once gaping tearing my insides with the intensity of their pain You seek to open them anew Awaken the void beneath them so it may swallow me whole and regurgitate me covered in bitterness and hate Bring back what once was... Throw away years of patchwork and seasons of re layering heaping myself in a stable facade Isn't it enough that no one sees me through the murk? Your bitterness reaches into me in threadlike waves... weaving in and out of my subconscious leaving wispy emotion evoking thoughts in their wake thoughts and emotions that bring me to the point of ripping the scabs off myself The void may consume me but in chaos there is the calm of ...
Wow. I'll let that sink in.
