AmbitiousEmbers

A unconscious metronome It plays the same tune Every wind unlocks time It won't move back It won't move forward But it states what's present Each moment captured by inches An abundance of circles As each toll gave birth to new curses Each hand exploits Numbers on repetition Stoic and depicting My next premonition

Sugarcoat my miseries Salvation is sinking my ivories Into the enamel's worst nightmare An acid to melt my troubles And I've grown addicted to its insatiable taste A profound toxin common to the naive With its instant gratification A desire that backfires Inflicting whom resist I devour the monstrosities as I please As my life disintegrates Like the world's teeth

An empty stomach gave comfort It kept my mind at bay I overthrew another thought of you Tucked in for another day It's pointless to weep For it articulates my fears And the scars that ever last Were the ones I hid for years Hostility stole the fuel "This" can't produce heat A bitter taste to the tongue And it's buried in defeat Let me be your floret Give me time to grow Perhaps with some enlightenment I'll blossom something they don't know Let me be your lark We'll frolic like the endeavors we are Collecting tears that have descended From luminescent falling stars Please don't let go I've witnessed enough, take me back!

Lull me to sleep To the sound of heartbeats A contrast to my own Whence it came hollow Strum your fingers through my hair Like I was your most favored instrument Only yours to play A melody of profound affections Handle me like porcelain Four limbs create A comfort sweeter than any cradle So simple, yet so intimate Kiss me with caution My life's on the line Yours to give Mine to take Haunt me relentlessly Like forsaken literature I enjoy to read Your image engraved for a eternity A vivid memory I strive to seek

Each year It feels eternal Each carving different, on mossy bark Forbidden names to a forbidden art Each juncture The syllables shifted Rewarded with intricacy Another scar for collection Each title Rose more accusations A clever disguise I must demise Another sweet infliction Each smile Remained distant How obtuse of my own ignorance Such endeavors weren't for me Each tear It seared and left a mark Translucent stains on salty flesh The portrait still prevails Each fear I want to tear out Throw it across the pavement And watch it shatter Each year I'll become the world's silhouette Lurking amongst shadows Always the

This essence is maddening And as time progresses The rhythm grows more erratic A static mind is nonexistent While the caster's on constant rotation Syllables are spilled forth As dark as ashes A malady gluttonous To fester on flesh And leach off virtues Like the parasite it is Insatiable, as it haunts relentlessly Relishing every soul undone To bask in their blood and laments It anticipates when all ties cut loose To transmogrify Into a lover's noose

I strive to transform Empathy to words Until brittle, skeletal fingers Bleed a blood that pulses Deeper than tissue Art isn't easy Contrary, its unjust Even words so eloquent Fail to illustrate But its pain We choose to preserve I have swooned Over countless strangers They speak in prose As smooth as I imagined Astounded by pure magic By notes intended to ease I drown in a sea of inquiries Another wave approaches Threatening to suffocate The echoing cries don't help Trapped on a distant shore I'm already plummeting with curiosity Into the mist I question with wisdom To take his offer Is it relapse or self-control?

Someday my dearest Now is not the time yet I hope we shall rejoice And sing true love's duet I long to compare such beauty A pleasure, unsure I deserve But I wait and desire such reality This pain I choose to preserve A lovely creature Committed a delightful crime Without effort Did take what was rightfully mine If sentiments were requited I'd brush your sweet porcelain For at long last reunited All redemption for my tasteless sins I've become restless A charmer to the naked eye To manifest profound melodies A gift capable of stopping time I wish for your ethereal lark With soft elation to jolt my breast To captivate the

I see us in a palette Of oranges, reds and yellows A canvas saturated Flickering lights and prisms Producing gems for the naked eye As more foliage cascades around us Nature's carpet Couldn't be more comfortable The alluring scents and merriment Lulled my troubles to rest A symphony of larks Sang proud and harmonious A new warmth emanates Pulsations quicken To a delightful pace We still share affections As if Aphrodite were a stranger I'd be jubilant for such a masterpiece To last forever From me, To you My world of endeavors

Sweet, sticky silver You can fix anything But I'd prefer an off switch Those are even more useful Barriers proved incompetent Each crevice depicted repressions How inconvenient for timing That such phantoms haunt me now Must you be so urgent? Aggravated that I haven't illustrated My chaotic sentiments Served to you on a golden platter While someone told me That blood and tears create I fear I can't segregate the two But holding my tongue seems more proper I await our duet My sinister silhouette We shall preform Like we never have before We'll show the world what we meant
