These eyes that drown

The ocean-blue of my eyes are a playground

or a death wish fulfilled.

My soul pours out as a waterfall,

splashing cold, sobering torrents of surface tension

into the warm, still air,

disrupting the peace of  inanimate nature.

Come swim inside of me,

float around until the storm comes,

and then flail in the tidal waves of my consuming hatred

in an attempt to survive and maybe find your way home.

Nobody ever makes it home whole again,

my soul weakens those it does not kill,

and most with mortal wounds as my Spawn always hungers.

I always eat,

always consume,

always am.

You will feel the warm injection of my embrace,

the heat crawls down the back of your neck like the first hit of a

steaming hot shower

launching  pain into your nerves that you tell your soul will soon be fine.

Your soul will stop squirming soon

and it is too late anyways,

as you will crawl home or we will die together,

rotting,

decaying,

returning to our choiceless, freedomless nature.

Behind the glass wall of my eyes is a killing field

many have fallen into it

and I feast on souls.

ugly poem for an ugly time

Your eyes were still

drowning

in your completely average face

with your pedestrian, modified, hair,

and only a paragraph this ugly could describe you.

 

Fleet of heart, passion and loyalty,

void of meaning,

and as rudderless as a lifeboat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean,

you are.

 

These painful, broken, cumbersome sentences

strung together like memories from all your nights before,

could not accumulate any meaning  or shared worth,

just like your life.

 

The last goodbye was as real as the two of us,

because it never happened.

 

Sometimes the universe winks at me.
