counting sleep

2/18/2017

 
7 days,  7 nights I spent Hibernating 
for 7 days and 7 nights 
My eyes were either closed or wet 
Reality was the enemy from which I hid
Cloaked in sleep 
Reality came with shackles 
Shackles I slipped out of
When I slipped into sleep

Unwavering freedom lies in the land of dreams 
Slumber soothed me 
Placed my soul at ease
But upon awakening 
Reality would shake me
Scaring me back to the comfort of my dreams 
Frightened I closed my eyes 
attempting to escape this space

but life too is but a dream
a dream my fears had turned into a nightmare
a pinch to the arm 
revealed the illusion
the demons i cast to scare myself into safety
were unmasked 

and only then was i able to rise from my slumber
free to truly dream

time travel

Looking back the days feel like months
Moments stretched and pulled by despair
Loosening the threads,
Abusing the elasticity of the fabric, 
Leaving the space limp 
And elongated past the point of return

Sitting now I feel the moments gently pass 
Time has become water down a stream
Or slipping through hands

we spend life
Pushing up our heels
Trying to match Time
Arms outstretched
Fingertips grazing the hem of his cloak
Fists closed grasping the air
We long for Time
As dogs long for their tails
​
Time, Escapes us with each breath
He runs ahead,
Or so it seems

Hidden in the mind, 
We can find the key to Rewind the hands of time
Project ourselves into futures
But first we must shift through the manure  
The stench of the past 
Scrape the scum from our thoughts
Because it blocks the view
Cleanse so the sun can shine through
And soon we will find
there are ways to penetrate Time

Creativity, divine intervention 
Inward inertia jumping into existence, 
From our joints. 
Surging through skin
Breaking into time 
God speaks in hymns

Idols

I do to people 
What Leo's do to lovers I idolize them
Hatch massive gods from their foreheads-
to cast shadows over their demons 

I impede on their freedom to fail
To change, To be human 
I lock them up
In a castle on a pedestal far, far, far away 
From who they really are

I'm drawn to flaws
A broken jaw, crooked teeth, scabs on the knees
Call to me, Grab at me 
With their marshmallow mouths
Gentle sensations tugging on my sleeve
Pulling me to flaws
So that I may give them new names
I call them pretty, intriguing, love
People are flawed at the core 
But not as passive
For I give them new names
​That they don't answer to

I've grown to understand 
gods name themselves

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 
But too often the gaze is distorted 
By society's lens 
So that
They can't see you
And when they do commentary is reduced to ridicule 

They may not see
Oh but I do 

Hey Beautiful 

Yeah I'm talking to you 
Hope your days are filled with sun rays
And on the bad days you draw moisture from the rain

The world has convinced you that the darkness of your skin 
Means that there is no light within you 
How wrong they are 
This little light of yours
Flickering in your chest is 
Ignited by the same blackness they claim smothered it. 

Turn a deaf ear to the world
Feed the flames 
Allow your light grow
So bright that they can't ignore 
The beauty of your shine. 

Hey beautiful,
Say that to yourself sometimes
