In the following 7 poems we see the aftermath of a disruptive action that’s been taken. Divided into two series (‘Growth’ and ‘Acceptance’) we see the path that each half takes to reach their final conclusion. When placed next to each other these can be understood in 2 ways. The first as a dialogue between 2 artists after their fallout. Or as one individuals internal battle between a callous ego and an empathetic nature.
Growth
we fuck to feel what we can never touch
the space between us
closer and closer
we yearn
but never truly touch
only an in depth idea
trust
///
my creativity and sex are one in the same
my creativeness imprisoned
forced to fuck to feel what my heart bleeds for
a forever want
born of passion
making the impossible possible
something from nothing
///
poured my soul into forgone habits
searching for what was inside me
filled with love of yesterday
do you want freedom
or freedom in a prison
i want to blossom
i want to be free
i want my branches to scrape the sky
leave traces of my existence in the clouds
my leaves to help nurture the new me
I want to hate it
but I dont
But I dont and I love it
I still love you
But I love me more
Its a chore
Living great
Wish you well
One day
Your smell
Will fade
Your memory
Will blur
Your words
Will slur
Ill forget
///
there are two sides to one
at all times
she shadow gives form to light
as light forms shadow
but both make the form
both need each other for form
to exist
Acceptance
a door is closing on my back
ive breathed slow
no tether connects
you all disgust me
if i don’t who will
lose sight of your past
i beg
the unknown will set you free
hate first respect later
what broken minds
what failures do you bring for me
infested
infested
infested
///
frivolous storms
invade me
persuade me
persuade me
i can hear them
can you hear them
the metallic echoes
the groans of chrome
they bubble
and eviscerate
i’m stuck at the gate
i wish to be undone
swift as swine
my day to end
my old skins have grown
an icky stench
moths to a flame they bring
persuade me
persuade me
persuade me
persuade me
persuade me
persuade me
///
unrequest me
i see your envy
stuck in your time
your pride has turned you to swine
unrequest me
your temptations falls ill
poisoned sacral
you’re a false shrill
i can’t beg or plead
i have no more pardons
your misery seeks company
but i’m long forgotten
i’ve molted
and molted
and molted
and molted
i don’t even know
who you knock for
unrequest me
i’ve become pardoned
