Blank Slate

January 16, 2020
I am nothing but a blank slate. Nobody around wants to know my state. Deteriorating, draining, at an average pace. The hole belonging to my soul is but an empty space. Am I tired? Am I weak? Am I rejoicing? Am I at my peak? I could be terrified, I could be at peace. Only aware that all senses...

Pater

Gone, like a thief in the night. Missing, when I woke up in the light. Abandoned, I was left from your mistake. You give yourself a title, you’re completely fake. I count what you’ve caused, and didn’t hesitate to pause, Before seeing the otherworldly emptiness you’ve given me, Without...

Realistic art can be an optical illusion. If you stand far away enough, it can look like a picture, taken with a camera, a lens. But, as you look closer, you can see the pen and pencil lines, the colored in sections, and the hard work and meticulous detail put into every sketch and every painting. Fresh...

I’ve waited for you in all this time. I’ve longed for you through season’s rhyme. Through the cloudy smoke you appear. The blackness of my soul has been cleared. You were once a myth to all around me. But now you are as true as the sky, stars, or sea. I’ve waited for you in all this time. I’ve...
