It's been dark lately.

There's an object laying
In a small lavender box,
Behind a picture on my bookshelf.
It hasn't been touched in years.
Its been calling to me.
Pretending to be a siren,
Silver and shiny,
Longing for my blood to drip on it.
Singing that it's the only solution.

It's been very dark lately.
I'm terrified.

It starts with a spark
a flash of lightning
thoughts and ideas
you get in a moment
inspiration from above
scrambling for paper
as it slips like water
through your mind
you strain to catch
these drops of rain
so fleeting yet lovely
they pool below you
seeping into the page
I honestly write too much about water and rain. I think I have enough water-centric poems to write a book at this point.
