Daisy Chain Nov 2012
Just get out of my chest
you've made yourself a nest
A home where you sit sleeping
unaware of of all that bleeds around you.
My heart is your pillow
resting upon it your head.
My soul is your blanket
my hands are your bed.
You, long forgotten, your home is not your own
It takes me so long
just to feel strong
enough to at least let you sleep
and not disturb you again
continue on, walking
and carry you in my veins.

falling
              backwards
                     into
             that
abyss

yearing
              scratching
                       that
         distant
surface

wanting
                 beneath
                      all
            that
plastic

give me
              what I need
                       not
            what I
mask it

understand me
                    somehow
                            then teach
             me
how

drowning
                  slowly
                            carry me
     out

Awake in the night
and who to call?
The one owl
watches my soul.

It knows silence
Like I know words
it knows smiling
humouring my slurs

Shoo it off I may
With my five fingertips
A stretched hand
once open, now stands.

Denial is funny
the river that never lies
slowly eroding, quietly
painfully clarifies.

Lifetimes and lifetimes
the truth floats by
caressing that simple answer
over the lids of my eyes.

Open them I mustn't
refusing so much to see
Once the water rushes in
  there will be nothing left of me.

Two suns rose today
on the palm of my hands
and made it difficult
to grasp too tightly.

The rays turned to embers
the embers, to ash
and whispered across
my mind.

In moments of fury,
the flicker within
enrages my skin
floods my brain.

But the soon to come trickle
the place always settled
waits for the return
of the sun.

Wavers it does,
sanity.
It's not so secure,
no.
The spaces between,
the going and the went.
Elongate
sometimes.

Trembles and expands,
the light
in all things.
Stretching my mind
to its limits,
where logic
withers.

Fear saluted at first
the go to
when things are new.
But actually,
this trickling mess
of unknowningness
allows me
to be.

It
It begins.
Then ends.
At the new beginning.
Daisy Chain Nov 2012
Why do I choose to suffer my freedom?
   Is it familiarity? A self-created religion?

I bind myself, to myself, using my own hands.
  I struggle to look through my own fingers.

Is it because I can't see? Am I in a dream?
  Where is the edge? Where is the seam?

I pretend to be distressed and myself believe
  Its all I've ever known, the stories of someone.

I carry on, holding tight, writing more lies
  A twisted *******, an inversion of life.

I catch glimpses of release, the gaps in my hands
  Yet as soon as I forget, I go back in.

How can you fight something you've created?
  How destroy the already annihilated?

Nothing but questions, answers are worthless.
  Nothing makes sense, not even these verses.
