No Magellan
Teo Aug 2016
They say it's easy
If something's missing, explore
There's a whole, wide world
You'll find your "something more"

But I'm no Magellan
And Columbus was a *****
They crossed whole oceans
And never found it

Waiting in warm rain
Light streaks through humid skies and
Shivers down my skin

Just bite the bullet...
I'll know better than to try
Next time, don't bother

spirit pt II
Teo May 2015
Sometimes, I feel like a ghost
Surrounded by people and silently brooding
Between two worlds, trapped like a rat
In a prison of endless sky, horizons encroaching
And closing in, curling into the helical
Bars of my spherical cage
I am the movement in the shadows
Of your soul, only the lost hear
My meaningless whispers and with
Each passing moment, my virulence grows
There is no light, no darkness, only
Shades of each other, blood and bone
Blending together to form the palette of
Your insides, but you see right through me
I am transparent and colorless and simple
In a life so complex and opaque, I aspire to simply
Fade away, to evaporate into nothing
To become residual, like the static
In the background of the infinite heavens
That has always been there

Too many humans
Destructive ways that won't change
We'll be extinct soon

Sitting in the Dark
Teo Dec 2015
Waiting for the sun to come
Banish this fog
And vanish the frost
From my shuddering skin
The ice is melting, the sea overflows
The air blows hot and cold, that's something that a lot of people don't understand
Global warming coincides with ice ages
I confide my hate and my hope to adjacent pages
In my manual of how not to be
If I have to burn, I hope the sun swallows me
But the horizon lies and makes promises that it can't keep
And yeah, I feel something moving in the deep
But my world is standing still and
My armor is cracked, retract the knife from my back
Before it corrodes from my acidic soul
The shadows impose upon the earth and
The night, there is no light to go around
I see the ground and the void compromising
I see the sun still isn't rising
And the fog is tenacious, voraciously seeking
Out alveolar spaces in my lungs
If there is a god why does it only help some?
I'm so ******* tired
Just let the end come

Spirit
Teo Apr 2015
Sometimes, I feel like a ghost
Surrounded by people, silently pleading,
"Liberation."
My very movements seem to  s t r e t c h  a c r o s s  t i m e . . . . .
And my voice always  
e c h o e s  
across      empty      chasms
Nah, I don't really party, I just haunt
I just linger
And no one ever knows
How long I've been there

Disheartening
Teo Aug 2016
It's ****** to feel
Like you actually **** at
Your only talent

We waste each other's day
Waiting around until there
Is no more time to ****,
Praying or just hoping
For something better
To come along

Word of God
Teo Aug 2016
God does not write with
Ink and pen, words to be read
But in what you feel
Trying my hand at micropoetry, seems to be where it's at these days. Here's a haiku

Love lost
Teo Aug 2016
Even though
I feel more dead than alive
If I never see you again
I'll be just fine

She chose to sleep with him tonight
Again

Feeling unlovable
And unloved
And alone
I sleep on the couch
Even though my bed
Is empty

— The End —
