I find my beautiful death

I hold my hand to thee, my muse

From the silence after a storm

I fear that Ive fallen

Allowing the sun to break free

And me to open my eyes

To hold out

Reaching eternally toward nowhere

 

I awake at 7am  

Blissfully unaware of the carousel of life

That has gone on before

Passed in the blink of an eternal eye

Passed in life

And death

Allow me to remember to breathe

Allow me to get on with today

 

Captured in black and white

Rustic enhancements

Burnt sienna colours my mind

Allow me to look at where I bleed

Life ebbs of silent release

 

And dreams

 

Dreams

 

Left behind scrawled on cardboard

Blackened charcoal musings

Hold a world at breath

Yet

When I look at you I see a demons awakening

Of a sojourn wasted in a single passing of time

Less of me will only hurt

Love lies buried in the dirt

 

These secrets we live

Carved into wrists 

Obscured into memories

A blessing or a curse

I simply cannot 

Will not

Live forever without you

In a single passing

I bleed

I weep

Forever I die

Beside you now I lay

Staring at the emptiness of space

Together in shadows

I find my beautiful death
