Literature Text

i.

conjure images unclean
look for passages unseen
as the mind strides on the line

these powers that can create
come only through cursed fate
and knowing the lies behind "i'm fine"

and the earth will take it in -
battered bodies born in sin
and divine souls rotting on the vine

ii.

i'm not an if. i'm a when,
lurking deep within the glen,
in spiderwebs and dewdrops,
curdled milk and withered crops.
all life is pregnant with death;
i inch closer with each breath.
do you want to be my friend?
all is a means to my end.

iii.

you will remember my face like i did yours,
when i was still human, torn and screaming.
old dreams in tatters - from secret wars,
vengeance emerged as the sole thing worth dreaming.
blood from the bad place had tainted the ground -
it is a wound not worthy of care.
blood will come upon you, the motive never found.
but the badge of shame is forever mine to wear.

iv.

a nation of misbegotten children
fractures in the throes of civil war
to give birth to timeless beauty and lore;
they build poetry on the corpses of brethren,
and adventure in the deserts of the mind.
crippled by sight, commanded to be blind,
the future lurches on the pages forward.
each clump of worms follows a different lord.
only the endings stay the same, and this
alone is the wellspring of misery and bliss.
No titles, no concept, just thoughts
