Just because you can’t hear them doesn’t mean they aren’t still here.

Foam Soap

shaking souls

hold the

hands of

crying citizens

as they

march from

heated homes

to freezing

lakes of

tainted hope

Double Exit Signs

so casually

destructive forces

lead horses

of skeletons

lost in

time abroad

cancel coroners

visits to

the dying

groves of 

endless epiphany.

The Trees Are Budding

The skies are turning

blue

and the grass is growing 

green

and although things are crashing

the trees are still budding.

Cameras capture thoughts of

pink

and music hums in

 yellow

and despite things falling

the trees are still budding.

Suddenly flowers are

purple

and bonfires glowing

red

disregard the losing battle

the trees are still budding.

So watch the girls in sweaters,

maroon

and their friends in

lavender too

forget that things are not okay

the trees are still budding.

Rouge

slightened pink

and setting suns

the bathroom sink

having fun

throwing stones into the sea

and twirling through open air

friends smiling back at me

leaving home my need to care

late night skies

laced in hope

living lies

its hard to cope.

Constellations and The Night Sky

And stars

Gathered in broken

Clusters

Never heal one another

But rather feel

Less alone

In a universe full of

Perfect constellations

So the stars

With higher build up weight

Burn up and die

The quickest

Now the stars in

The broken clusters

Are falling from the heavens

Leaving a

Perfect sky

And perfect stars

To keep the world

From darkness.

When Writing

Pages torn in pieces

Leave words a broken thought

But keeping them in cages

Is something I wish not

For words deserve an outlet

And not be trapped inside.

Though words left to

Wander free

Find solace in the dead

So travelling words

Can find no peace

Where you cannot find dread.

-AKM

Coping

An endless hallway

spiraled in dark

but the end is right there

and the end is nowhere

so demons and monsters

alive in my head

get trapped behind layers

of metaphorical cement

but they're never quite gone

just dormant for now

though you promise me that

the doors keep them out.

though it's hard to believe

I understand the thought

this metaphor works

to cope with the what.

12:30

And failing hands reach out

for light

in hopes to end

the black

but bright when meeting dark

turns grey

so we live in slight sorrow

for another day

So stop the world

and watch it fall

I don’t want to be here

anymore

and I hope you find some

peace

in the life you stole

from

me

Storms and Paths and Lives

The silence aches

like storms abroad

and I feel as though emotions passed

through metal now turned plastic rods

feed into fear

sending lightning strikes

between broken people

whos minds alike

no longer hear the beaten path

or storms clouds rumbling overhead

but look to each other

with hope they said

"A life turned blind

Is one life bled."

A Shooting Star

I wish I didn't feel like this,

with every push and shove.

I wish I could just move ahead

and arrive at tomorrow's dawn.

I wish you saw the half of it

and understood the fear

I wish the thoughts were left behind

And that you were safe and near

But everything I do collapses

and my person becomes a void.

I feel the warmth removed from my heart

leaving the call of death behind

I wish I could put into words

how I don't know what to say

and I wish that you could pull me through,

I could live to see another day.

but wishes never granted

leave the broken ones forlorn

so I will sit here waiting for

a single shooting star.

Coffee Stains On Coat Sleeves

I watched you sitting by yourself

And wished I could reach out.

With every moment

That passed by

I noticed something new.

Thing never seen before

Lungs and eyelids became sore

With everything 

I didn't know

My entire soul collapsed.

A straw held between your teeth

You looked nervously around.

A useless mouth, wiped

Across your sleeve

Then everything made sense.

And what you seemed to do

Was done by someone else

For that coffee stain

On your coat sleeve

Appeared on mine as well.

Ephemeral

And tiny hands reach

Towards an end

Upon the horizon

Laid empty with

Angelic haze.

With beating hearts

The children march

Black holes for souls

And the abyss

for spare parts.

Each day brings life

A shorter rope

And pulls it close to hand

Volatile fists hold near

As Life and Death elope.

Lips press tight

And chasms shift and whirl

She a takes a look up at the sky

Nothing more could be said

By the ephemeral girl.

-AKM

[obssessivelylgbt]

With Love,

The slippery soul

Of ocean rain frolics.

Quiet Mountains of war

Juggle light.

The dark smoke chaos,

During winter storms,

The Earth's crashing sky,

The sharp air.

Delirious souls declaring

Contented Murder.

-AKM

Time

The clicking of the passing time

Thoughts and ideas written in rhyme

While eyes and souls fade by nine

Each ticking second a neon sign.

The unending end of the seconds passed

A hand of god has been cast

Unto the world with face aghast

Only sails lifted to higher mast.

So now I stare up to the sky

And see the clouds as time gone by

Lets leave our souls and minds behind,

Forget that time has made us blind

And say goodbye to us who've died.

-AKM

[obssessivelylgbt]

Draped In Darkness

The contrast between light and dark

Is something to be desired

As having only light is hard

But the dark destroys the tired.

With a life full to the brim

Of an abyss draped in dark

Something in you makes me smile

And out flies a shining lark.

So with a fleeting hand I throw

The morning glory to your heart

With open arms I hope for you

To bring us both back to the start.
