The Writer's Hymn
Night comes like a thick fog rolling over
Sheets feel cool beneath like breathless sighs
Drowsy lids close and before too long below cover
Separated from the waking world and with newly opened eyes
The mind begins to work its magnanimous wonder
Color spills out in sheets, rolling through streets
Voices and pleasant thoughts lying bare to ponder
Beauty beyond normal recognition and colorful treats
Entire people and personalities coming slowly to life
Somewhere new and vivid, so egregiously stark
Cities build from ashes and the waking pains of strife
From nothing into my dreams where reality does not bark
Its harsh discordant realis

raindrops and ugly
Rain came down from the sky hitting the ground so hard that they splashed water out of puddles and shook them with ripples. They thumped a dark mass sitting on the street corner and the water climbed down strands of hair, droplets rolling over her lips like tears coming down from somewhere else. The rain fell like light fell on angels, pouring over them and rolling down their soft flesh, like it rolled down the sides of her face and over her finger tips, dripping slowly to the ground below. A sigh caught on her lips as she opened her mouth and rolled gently into the air, her breath the tiniest of fogs.
Thunder creaked through the atmosphe

The Burnt and the Burned
She stared at the fire as it raged through the building, watching embers climb up into the air and flit off into its center. Blood on her face, hair stuck to her mouth and arm held close to her side, hugging it with the other, metal of gun under her finger tips. She could smell it, the fire raging like a tempestrial storm that swept through everything and everyone in sight. It was almost like she was paralyzed for a moment, paralyzed by the chaos, the destruction and the rage that burned inside of her.
Death was a kissing god; a kissing god and he kissed her skin up and down with a warmth that spread through
I stare outward in awe of love
In awe of its very existence
Not because it exists
Not even because it defies all rational beauty
Nor am I captivated by it
Solely for how it always seems to feel
From the wondrous heights of bliss
To the extreme dysphoria of lows
What brings me in awe of love
What intrigues me so intently
Is the continual defiance it shows
Every time any attempt to define it
It is part rational
Part vividly irrational
Sometimes just an emotion
Other times an entire state of being
Love is so terrifying
It causes us to lose our breaths
And so full of wonder
It leaves poets in a panicked frenzy
For it conquers
A bird is born
it shouts at its birth
it screams for simple things
to feed and to be noticed
and it is fed
and it sleeps
Slowly it grows
and over time its belly fills
it knows no hunger
it knows no emptiness
only joy
only peace
And then it learns
for the first time to fly
and it fills with such great bliss
that its wings expand
and it soars
floating
Time passes and it grows
its wings expand
to encompass the sky
so it shifts along it
like an invisible river
its currents entangling together
So it goes
and it sees the trees it grew in
the places it has eaten
the things it has known
and then it flies away
it soars so
as if never once by EuphoricDissonance, literature
Literature
as if never once
Words and thoughtless things;
silence, inexhaustible silence;
tempered feelings;
broken - anguishing: this;
shuddering: the sweet caress of life;
the cold clinging size
of the shadow that clings
beneath the warm shape of flesh;
footprints that follow behind
no reverie: only real;
"Wake" it screams the word
wraps about broken sides
and anguish climbs unhindered;
ignored, cold and frightful
it climbs and is unnoticed;
Death has met me
and met it have I
Met and left behind
like grace unwound
never meant to be revered,
twisting back through things;
Compelled by the deepest
darkest empty nothing
to be filled, full
climbing
Is there anyone out there that doesn't need it?
If there is well - I wouldn't want to be them
I want to be in - and surrounded by it
I want to know what it feels like to share it
Wrap arms around and completely care for it
I want to believe that when I wake in the morning
No matter how much horror and madness is going on
No matter how turmoil this world is facing
I want to look around and see it exists
I want to know that when I hold you - you still feel it
If we could be half crazy - and I mean all of us kids
No matter how old never grown past the thought of this bliss
That a moment could be a balm for all the hurt in the world
All that I could ever dream of
since I could first dream
was of being free
The only thoughts that ever crossed my mind
were the wayward ones of a dreamer
to be lost in the expanse
And since that first moment, the very first
I have spent every waking moment after
lost in spaces so wide
All things have their place
and mine is to be forever wandering
forever in the grip of joyous silence
That the tenderest, loudest sound
that I will ever share
is the beating of my heart
That those few fleeting moments
when my eyes are captured
fallen upon by wonders
There are no cages, no walls and no roads
only one single, glorious
endless,

There is nothing more frightening than knowing that all you have in this world is these wings so very dark. These wings so very dark that define the very essence of your every waking thought, that you have become something so cold and calloused, so empty and devoid of care for all things. That there is no sadness inside of you, no tears and no joy. You are empty beyond reproach and there are holes in your black shadowed wings that are beyond repair. That forever is a moment that will stretch onward for all eternity and you will be within it, cradled in its eternal embrace. But you are nothing, not there, always in imperfect derelict.

why is the sky filled with clouds that leave iridescent trails
and the heart either so red or deep charcoal black;
somehow a torch light grows into a burgeoning flush
that rumbles in the deep tunnels of the mind:
it is only her bliss, an eternal fervor
that scatters a helter-skelter spark
that patters like footsteps heard only in the dark
that could be coming from any direction
and the heart a light-bulb flickering on and off, because;
the skin smooth temperatures rising and falling
and the breath caught and suddenly released at the memory
neurons booming to life at the flicker chasing random paths to it
all in the span of a half

I'm looking for awe.
And when I find it maybe I'll let myself love again. But until then, love has become a trifle, meaningless word, and not because it is meaningless. But because people make it meaningless, they make is a nothing of a word, and they take away the very meaning of the word itself.
