The Smile Behind Your Sorrows

Every time I am in your presence I silently observe the inner depths of your fears As love makes you act beyond yourself And hope is what keeps you sane   When I hear the silence in your creaking voice There’s an agonizing screech of desperation Seeking for constant admiration To fill the forever hollowness you call love   And every time I am in your presence I travel the depths of your soul, My body trembles at the thought of your tears That love has caused you all these…

The Silver Cell

You’re my silver cell: you keep me waiting and at the end of the day you never come. You never know once I come undone. You’re my silver cell: I play nice just for you but that’s not the real me. You’re my silver cell: part of my molecule system, you are contagious at the wrong time. You’re my silver cell: There’s only one but all other cellular molecules are influenced by you. You’re my silver cell: I say I’m fine but I am dyeing inside because all my molecules…

Floral Beauty

Photo By: Sosse Karasarkissian   Floral Beauty It’s on the tip of my tongue; The solar rays subsiding; A flower’s bloom is subtle yet bold We’ve been enticed beyond this threshold. ‏ ­ In such a game, I plea for objection My thoughts fail to resonate The body is the weeping of a parting soul, Life cannot last The objective is clear But the heart smolders into indifferent charcoal. ‏ The mysticism behind the eyes A soft gaze which conceals synthesis; Entering a secret room in the back of my mind…

House of Snow Arts 

House of Snow

In a bleak dwelling of snow and frost In this house of white satinian floors Betwixt the lunacies, dejected and lost I am alone, burning, behind closed doors Charred by my own cave-in, and lonely roars — Of a lone volition so simply mine I feel the need to bleed and hurt, and freeze. My sorrows leave me to myself unease Left empty, above cold and wretched floors In a facade of grace, of pain and sores — And to these walls of folly and self-doubt Far away from spirit,…

Infinity

Photo By: Paola Lopez Velasco   Infinity To the Universe at large, We are incalculably small; So that our despair may discharge, We continue to laugh after we crawl.   Should this turn out to be the end I’ll hold nothing sacred; We turn and turn on this Mobius dividend Perpetually dissatisfied, we want only to feel elated. Written By: Isaac Dinotno

PANIC

the wind in my spine is shouting so i hold my breath to quiet it and it curls under my skin bunches up in a million ants underneath and trapped under it spoils itself greens and blackens on its own so i block my throat to hide it in and it whispers my death to me It makes me tremble and my bones clatter against it as it turns to marble in my lungs I collapse under the weight of it it crushes down upon my stomach and when it…

A Small Light Arts 

A Small Light

A small light, shimmering, alone and kempt Cold and stern, I sat watching and fading This flow of sound, or beat or rhythm, ah This day, disturbing my slumber, constant Makes me empty – feels empty, prolonging A day, or yet a life not worth living   This small note, I sought, now, inside only; What truth is told, in, within me, hiding? This sound of life, full of loss and change, ah Is but a soft hush, a whisper, empty Such a reflection of myself, passing Pondering I stayed;…

Black Cat

Photo By: Andrianna Kapralios   Black Cat There can’t be meaning   It floats here inside, the burning I’m feeling. Paths into the shadows, my mind always takes, Will emotion never truly appear? A burning sensation is floating here.   Perched upon the razor’s edge, I waltz towards this cold cliff’s ledge. Before my Self, a warm canyon beckons, I fall, and to reason I deafen.   In search of color, I find but darkness which conceals, It always spells doom, for the one who feels! This time is different,…

There is a Monster Under My Bed

There is a monster under my bed And I shout and scream at it And I beat it with a stick There it goes under and out of reach Mum says I am being too noisy Doesn’t she hear the monster growl? Doesn’t she see its ruby claws? Mum’s eyes were all scratched out The monster shakes the bed from under So I plant a knife through it So I pull a bloody knife from it The monster goes all quiet Mum says I am scaring her But she can’t…

Noyée dans la neige – La goutte d’encre

Je me dépêche à vivre. C’est cela qu’il faut selon ce que les adultes m’ont toujours dit. Le temps file. Je ne veux rien gaspiller. Je ne peux rien gaspiller. Les secondes défilent. L’horloge rôde au-dessus de ma tête comme des nuages qui annoncent une tempête de janvier. Je me hâte à étudier. Cela est nécessaire pour bien vivre selon mes enseignants. La connaissance libère. Je ne veux guère caresser mes chaînes. Je ne peux aucunement me permettre un moment pour respirer, si je veux conserver ma liberté. Un. Je…
