Appalachian "poet" and quasi-philosopher, mostly just trying to navigate life a day at a time. Ask me about my latest existential crisis. I'm well, I promise.
Altar
The slab is empty, lonely.
The dias somber, quiet.
Blood already spilt,
Debt already paid.
I pulled the ceremony splinter from my chest
And carried you to bed instead.

Quiet
Sullen, somber, lonely.
Quiet
Repentant, reverent, holy.
Quiet,
Inhale, exhale, slowly.

Welling, aching,
Longing, shaking,
The quiver of anticipation.
Lusting, greedy,
Burning, needy,
I shiver for emancipation.
My love loves loving you.

Menace
More so an opportunity for me to
Engage with the world in the way I want to be.
Not an act of spiteful defiance, but
An act of calm resolve and revolution.
Can I hold myself accountable to my desires?
Everything slowly fades away, so hold on tight.

Antiquated
This systemic oppression.
No benefit to the reduction of self.
Dedicated
To the idea of love & understanding.
An unyielding compassion toward the world.
Liberated
By the care I feel for myself and others.
Tear down unnecessary walls and build the world anew.

#LuaViEr Day 1104
A stab in the dark against the
Languished cries of humanity.
Time only allows so much
Respite against the horrors.
Unless YOU and
I
See each other through, there
May be no happiness left.

Calling out of the dark, a shot!
Regressing, holding back,
I seethe and shake the howl away.
They don't understand they're wrong;
I can't give them my prudence.
Can I overcome, persevere?
I can. I will.
Self is not punishment.
Everything hinges on my love.

Restless dreaming, reaching out for distant stars. Twilight fleeting, the weight of day breaks across my mind. Sunrise gleaming, reset and begin the day anew. Little answers but endless possibility.
