Unspoken 08:48
It’s too early to feel So neglected The taste of what we’ve had Has clearly messed with my head Because I do There’s no excuse For letting you make me blue I’m too far gone to keep Feigning I don’t care Oh, I’m in too deep And now you’ve changed You feel estranged Maybe I was a fool I didn’t care Once I was the object Of your precious stare
2.
In this silent moment Time flows The rate creates friction With the input from our senses And the vibration caresses us both Our unexplainable sense of oneness flutters, fluctuates Harmonically interacting with our surroundings All merging into one No music or sound can amplify this moment The intensity at its peak Giving no room to doubt or to think No action or distraction beyond involuntary appreciation A moment that contains meaning Which points directly to what art tries to recreate Beautifully in vain And through its deafening silence I understand poetry for the first time And it’s not the alcohol or the drugs Or anything else you might try to “blame” For my rare spoken-out-loud train of thoughts That has again and again crushed our conversations It is just you The one drug I am helplessly addicted to

Cherrysh 03:26
Your shirt falls first On the quiet parquet My fingers move Slowly, from button to button Like picking berries ripe My hand is drifting down Along your breastbone tender Along the furtive shadows Drawn by my southern window We will be cautious For we know The verb to love Contains already A beginning, An end
4.
Time Killer 09:16
Drenched in gray The world is drained Of all the prism colors Skeleton trees lost their dance I sink, does all else sail forward? You time killer Always dusk The sky eternally setting Hide in sleep Hope to be Free of this crux These ghosts that shake me Loudest silence I have heard I've not forgotten color Drained of heart and of blood My life’s not mine nor my mother’s You time killer I sink, I sink I sink, I sink Does all else sail forward?
5.
Diamond of a boy Docile and wide eyed And small in size Stay warm Tranquil a hymn of vermillion Prince minikid I feed you water and seed from my lips Sleeps through the day Drunk on the fruit of symmetry Sleep in my hair, a nest, your labyrinth Lapse of myth I found a babe to keep warm and safe
6.
Broken 03:16
Never did you bother to Write me, see me, call me Always you were trying to hurt me Never said you’re sorry Wouldn’t make an effort to Love me, tell me, touch me Left me in my bedroom crying All for nothing Broken Broken All hearts are broken in time Wonder what will i have to do To fix mine Thought that i would never get over Your love, your eyes Leaving me without any remorse Or goodbyes Now you know i’m loved by someone And you can’t have me Knowing you can't sleep and you’re hurting Makes me happy All hearts are Broken Broken
7.
The Line 05:34
I’m frustrated Won’t you talk to me Don’t cut the line And leave me here Confused I don’t know what you want I don’t know what is hiding in Your words Won’t you talk to me Too many colors In flurry From continuous tirade streams That can’t be deciphered That fall furious from the sky, then Disappear Disappear I miss the water of the pacific Salt in the air I feel it on my skin The tide pulls All things with her What can she give back to me Fight it if you can Don’t let it take you from me Not like this I don't know why you're doing this You don't either but I can't stop you Don't cut the line Don't cut the line Don't cut the line
