Literature

She writes the unknown.

Locked away in a convent, her curling smoke iris's whispered blasphemies. A phoenix lay restless between her tongue and teeth, burning burning burning - her alive. A fire in her blood-soaring through labyrinth veins seeking an escape.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

On self-love

Maybe who she really loves, is the name of the boy she thinks of, while she lines her chatoyant eyes with charcoal maybe the name she really needs to think of, is her own.

Literature

Unaware

When you are two and five and ten you are unaware –– of the cactus in the windowsill, how, fragile, each quill bends and breaks and falls apart.–– Twelve years later, on a Tuesday, you dream about a boy who bumps his head on an iron slate and you wake in a cold sweat. You are twelve when you are always bumping shoulders. Twenty-two years of Thursday. There is nothing at all. And you wonder (and you wonder why) each time you wake. The cactus in the window bleeds with you when you bump it. No one ever mentioned frightened things bite. So you have always been unaware.

ripples on a blank shore (#15)

in rainbows with a petrichor veil; you've caught my breath in palms covered in dandelions' dust, my longing, an uncovered explosion of drafts hidden from the both of us. but i reach out, knowing wind-chime silence is a possibility as it has always been; knowing the doldrums of my harrowing echoes could be the only reality i'm pressed against, but i'm more than willing to risk my heart and expose it to the weight of sorrow if there's a sliver of a shot that we can be together. suspended in the contingency of the unknown, i hope your wrung hands red with distortion & blue with disappearance, make your way back to the greying soles of my

Dollars be United.

We are united. - - - - - We live amongst regular civilians, in our regular attire, regular jobs, and almost regular daily life. What united us is that single message. That single call. That single e-mail. That single letter. That single password. That single website. That gathering of fates. Gathering of souls. - - - - - We are invisible. - - - - - Some of us came from the countryside, working hard, living a hand-to-mouth existence every day. Some of us are a bit better off, with enough money for some worldly entertainment and leisures, and supporting our own families. Some of us came here to study, and to be a bette

Invincible

I am a laborer of dreams and I'm building up a pyramid. The ghosts might try to kill me but I learned to always live with it. The fragile thoughts that draw you to the edge of your ill mind; Believe when I say that giving up would be a true crime. The only thing that you should do is plow ahead forward, No stepping back because I got your back and that's a foreword An introductory paragraph to what it means to me, when I have always told you that we are going to be:

Kingpin

I have recently learned that every man has his limit. There is only so much suffering you can endure, before you finally decide to snap. Some go crazy and make a fool of themselves, others sink deep into a dark place that no soul should venture. But a small percentage, experience a change. They realize that the world for all its ugliness, is still a garden; A garden of filth blossoms and fly traps, but a garden nonetheless. And what matters is that we harvest from this garden, until it can give us no more. For if we must be slaves to our torment, then I would prefer to endure--in style Now then, it seems the Mad King must get a new ident

Ooh, that's quite an interesting piece, I have to say... or rather, it's an interesting direction to go in, as if the person was rapping on somebody's head and couldn't hear anything or whatever, therefore indicating that their head is empty and full of ignorance, perhaps.

This is a great piece, anyway. Interesting formatting too.
