The Words Could Not Be Pinned~When I Died Yesterday

the colors
the magnificence
of all my eyes could see
the way my heart
it thudded strong
the beauty that was me

it all was new
meant something more
than what life meant to me

the brilliance
of the souless sky
it shined a light in me
I knew I had a gift of trails
in an uncharted sea
uncharted no one's territory
just my thoughts and me
my sea of life
that no one knew
but just my love and me

the words could not be pinned
when my life ended yesterday
and reconstructed a new me

If You Knew Me

throbbing ribs
misplaced your shame
weakened bones
but none are lame

shaking walks
and lengthened lives
so take the metal
while I lie

evidenced
in lesser tales
you can't hide
behind my veil

mistakes are shown
you cover's blown
now I can finally be my own

for with this paint
all on my hands
this once red wall
still couldn't stand

Such is Life

a twist a turn
a new skill
learned
my flesh
knots up
with pain

i wrench it firm
and you in turn
wish you'd remain the same

too bad for life
say C'est la vie
yes you should speak it now
the end of vie
is coming now
your soul will not remain

Acquaintances

complications
never shake the hold
they live inside
and tear the fold
thought to be
all mapped and planned

but life held up
just couldn't stand
the blows of death
the blows of love
incessant tricks
it boils their blood
they love the heat
so will ensue
and barter trade
and we buy you
oblivious to the trader's will

my slave steps farther
till he is killed
a golden coin
and meat is served
no life long work
but one day learned

to never trust
the smiles of friends

for we die slow
by hand of kin
