I can see the ghosts conducting their individual boats like flies
Hovering frantically over a mound of garbage
Unsure where to settle and take a look down beneath the surface
They wipe their eyes of their tears but the salty liquid could never wash their hands of the ink from sin's pen
Ghosts sharing pain blow their boats' horns searching for some kindred spirit wailing that same haunting tune that brings shivers to the spine
Each note riddled with the soft ghastly undertones of shadow and wisp
Boats floating noiselessly into obscurity
Each ghost like forgotten memories drowned in the abyss of the endless horizon
The real trick is f
The horizon seemed way too close. Like I could swim to it from here following the flow of the slow easy ripples on the dock. The ships just floating there telling me to steal one away and let the wind carry me into the swallowing darkness of the setting sun. An obnoxious punctual light that announces its departure.
For me, the artificial lights are fine. I can turn them on or off on command. I can block them out with my hands. A man in the dark is an assassin but in the light he is a business man. He has a family and weaknesses. Light revealing flaws as it were. A world without light is my world. I would blend right in, hiding in the shadow
Endless ripples reaching towards the horizon like so many agitations aimlessly hunting perfection. A ghost's presence like a widow's glance over her shoulder at a distant past. Lights lining a highway with one bulb turned out in the many. A face without eyes a body with no soul. Incomplete smiles.
Like a constant swirl fighting and crashing over. Oil and water filling a pool, a violent shake then a quick separation. A stone skipping across this liquid mixture, 1, 2, 3, 4 then consumed. As the stone plummets to the bottom, bubbles drift to the surface like layers of a life passing and revealing the finale. Stone.
It's all from the signs Danny. It's all intermeshed in such a thick layer of confusion that we see it all as truth and blindly accept it. Grown men lying to themselves without a clue. Do you see it? Huh? Do you?!
~Draws miscellaneous markings on the walls as Danny stares dumbfounded~
Bells ringing telling us to wake up, but do we? No. We hit that snooze button asking for five more minutes of that dream because there we have a purpose we can truly define. We live each moment like it's yours and mine. A blissful euphoria that we cover ourselves with. Dream the dream. Put on your mask and be okay so long as the dreams continue.
We live off th
Moonshine light creating the half man eclipse shadow
Step by step, 2 step follows the carved asphalt
Shotgun spread the stars in the sky, blink blink shine
Mind wandering from point to point, a net forming
Catching the stray sounds and thoughts of the night mind
Rays bursting over the horizon
Cracking the surface, net shoved out
Eclipsed shadow turns and shifts
The length of him extended, shadows curved
Shadow silhouette foggy and blurred under burning light
Body illuminated, surface boiling, sunshine light
Even after ten years of rain and sleet, the charred smell sears through these empty halls. the wallpaper is peeled, and the section of roof collapsed lets in all the rain. The past ten years have been dismal and wet. Torrents of rain enter through the hole in the roof but the house still sand, however broken and dark its inside and outside is. It stands outside the boundaries of the city, away from the possibility of being torn down. I don't know how I'd live if I lost this home too. These walls were s strong. They heard children's shouts and saw couples kiss. IN the end, it still serves as firewood for the fire. As if all the happiness fell
The bombshells can be heard from the outside. The foreboding frightful explosions thundering across the war scape. While I lay in my bunker bleeding from missing left leg, removed from the middle of the thigh down. As my desperate useless cries scream across the bunker to the other soldiers in pain, only, my screams eclipse theirs. The soldiers have already reached the bunker and my door is first.
I then hear the loud crashing and smashing as the enemy attempts to break my door, foreign words of blood lust and hatred heard shouted in command. I reach desperately for my pistol. Ready. The door breaks and my shots are the first to pierce skul
You shivered on that cold winter's day
As the ice suddenly melted, your gaze shifted upwards
I, as Apollo, had brought you The Sun
Fiery and Red, you said your were Warm
You asked to sleep comfortably upon this hill
I grabbed the edge of the night sky
Moon, sky, and stars
And covered your shivering body as u smiled your way to sleep
And as night turned to day
His Chariot brought another Sun
Moon in line with Fireball, Stars dotting the Heavens
Sunset and Sunrise, intertwined in a mesh of light and heat
His steeds came to a stop at your feet
While he descended from his Golden Throne
In that Night I'd given you my Eyes
Yet you sa
If only you knew how hard the words hit me
If you only knew the weight of your tears
Though all I ever long for is your smile
All I see are your doubts and fears
I can feel you in my arms
But you won't feel me
I heard all your cries from afar
But your face I never see
Its shrouded in black
Those perfect words I so long for
Reclusive and afraid
My boat will never reach your shore
