Void

Hollow eyes,

The windows are closed.

The divine spark is no more,

Spirit is replaced with space.

Here we can’t breathe,

And we can’t speak,

Not even an exorcism

Can preserve a personage,

When their souls leave them.

No pupils and lack of an iris,

Shows that they can no longer hide it,

The eye can let not light in.

There will be no light to save them.

There will be no breath for the dead,

It has already escaped them.

Entrapped in the void.

October short story

It was staring at me, from the window. Its eyes never wavering from meeting mine. Its mouth was just a wide jagged line of sharp teeth frozen into a lip-less smile. Its long claws curved and filthy with something awful. There was something staining the window, the street light outside illuminating chunks and making the dripping lines glow. The creature was unmoving from its spot. The terrifying part is that it’s on the inside of the window.

perennial

grief visits me today. he watches as i write about you, putting his hand on my arm to stop the words from shaking. the river of veins is a blue glare beneath his waxen skin, the valleys under his eyes dark with our shared misery. i don’t ask where he’s been, or why he’s suddenly back. i don’t want to know who else he’d been with when he was gone. “you look better,” he says, pulling my hand from the notebook. he kisses it, holds it to his cheek. the weaker parts of my spirit surge at his cold familiarity. i trace the arch of his lips to avoid his eyes, ask him if he’d forgotten about m

Detriment and denial

When you're alone, you're forced to confront yourself. All the things you push aside in the presence of others resurfaces. Mistakes Mistreatment Manipulation Hatred Self-loathing Worthlessness Abuse Depression ...The list is endless. Oh but go on, keep lying. "It's ok, I like being alone."

Conversations

From time to time, you haunt me without announcing, unexpectedly. You cling to me, smother me to make me stay with you, shielded from the world. I sit with you and listen, 'cause you might want to tell me what I neglected. If I don't force you, you will ecentually retrieve until you return for the next chapter.

Zephyrus

You coax, slowly. Said it's like a bear in hibernation: When my love lies buried under 15 feet of ice. You take the form of spring, And gently warm my frozen limbs. I melt in his arms, crying— "You deserve more summers than this." "But all I want is you," he says. And then my seasons shift.

Literature

Homebody

I let you in: Smiled as you smashed windows; Broke open doors; tore down walls. The echo through the corridors Grew scared, and flew away— But I stayed. And I chose to paint the facing white.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

'nothing' is a raptor

*** Listen to me read this piece: When I tell you "it's nothing" you usually hear: the clouds are dark and rough like elephant skin and I'm caught up in the folds of an ear, tangled and desperate for relief but unsure how to flip myself an escape. You usually hear: the world is still turning on its axis and I am left breathless, breaking.... broken in more ways than I can count on my hands, broken in more ways than I can put a name to, broken in more ways than I can ever explain. It's not that simple, really. Really, "nothing" is a raptor dragging furrows down my sides, screaming unintelligible. "nothing" is horseshoes and handgrenade

"What's up with the hollow eyes with some o' these characters in these horror movies?"
"Mom, I think the represents the lack of a soul....Their soul has escaped them. The ultimate sight of death."
"Oh, hmm. When you put it that way it makes sense...."
"I'm a writer. We put things together, y'know?
"Ugh, writers..."
*laughter*

"But what about that creepy ass back-bending crap?!"
