Musings

I seek solace from the dead on cold nights like these. I sit with them and talk of the wonders we’ve seen. There is peace in my questions, though unanswered they remain, as I stare at her grave left in silence unchanged. Christmas lights wink across the street at us now, bathed in moonlight we stare, I regress to a child.


Home.
How long has it been?
Lost as I wander through time
Taking space in my mind
Living listless and shattered in Darkness sublime
Why this Pain?
Why this Strain?
Why this clamorous chorus?
My horror house nightmare while I scream for divorce.
No rest for the weary, neither living nor dead
My sleep is my coffin, how I loathe this soft bed.
Hysteria wakens me, panic my friend
Closed doors, blackened windows, whispered gunshots flesh rends.
Liquid sloth moving, my legs running slow
Pursuit always gaining with resolve for they know
They know, O! They KNOW!
Laughter lights up their eyes
This toy long awaited, something special, surprise!
Gasp for breath little one
For a moments reprise
Drift now here in safety, ignore the dark eyes.



You are fucking insane, overflowing with rage
My words so profane as they spill on the page
Demented and twisted your thoughts filled with ire
Have you lost all your reason? Has your sanity expired?
Answers you wanted, well here’s some that I’ll give:
You’re insufferably psychotic, yet you call me a pig!
You lash out at others in your anger so blind
You drove me away with your tongue serpentine
Small minded myopia free falls in the night
That which once was a blessing, now a curse, lo, a blight
Three cheers for the distance as you’re long out of sight
T’was a time I had wondered, I now know this is right.

you know how you ask me if i've "always been this short"? so tell me, have you always been this angry and hurt? i love you daniel, and it's ok to grieve, but my hope is that you'll find some peace. if not december 7th, then someday not-so-far-off.

heh, this post reminds me of the "free writes" i used to write in english class. the ones i didn't read out loud because i used "fuck" so many times, and cursed the name of someone who was once close.

go for it! just let it out!

The point of all suffering is to bring us to the end of ourselves...

Only then can we truly experience God in the way that He designed us to...

Sounds like you are getting pretty close.

the rhythm is apace,
twas wise to race,
from fingers like claws
and a heart refusing to thaw.
