Stars Have always felt Otherworldly to me Have always felt Like some sort of celestial being Have always felt More powerful than any mortal And standing down here With them up so high looking at them pepper across the sky It’s sometimes hard to see them As anything But godlike And then I remember That I am also made of stardust That the atoms that form my body Once formed a star And the hydrogen…
My head feels unfocused, Casting over the sands of time, My will feels withered, unable, and benign, Behaviour swirls cascading, Invisible to the all-seeing eye, Submissive soul rise up, Take the garden by the soil, Feel its richness roar, Lost into its incandescence and know the way to soar, Rooted by the story, Lost in untold glory, Ready to feel, Time to heal, Embrace and unite, Morning, night and in pure light. – Lix
Feeling fear, nerves and dread, Welcome ancestors to be by my bed, Draw them in, By my side, Watch over me, whilst I reside, Blackbird enters, pulling worms, From the earth outside, Drawing me to the unknown, Planting seeds to be sown, Giving strength, guiding light, Pushing me to trust and unite. Ancient green reset valve, Nothing is going to feel so foul, Carrying it over many years, Pounding sounds around my ears, Purple, yellow,…
The push and the pull, Everlasting work, Up, down and all around, Breaking the trauma, Healing the heart, Staying as one, No more a wound, But an embrace, Shift the pain, Release the anger, Need my soul to be free from danger, Peace of heart, Mind Unwind, Let go of what I thought was right, Sabotage no more, Behind the open door, Take back my destiny, With the power of alchemy. Gone, banished, Rise up…
I rubbed my eyes and woke up from pride. Opened a warm bath of lust and dived right inside. After I was done, applied smooth envy on my skin. Put on my favorite wrath which than I was in. Expensive pair of blasphemy were on my feet. My dark Afro was gluttonized which made me neat. Splashed sweet sloth as my perfume, Walked out of the house to meet up with sin Said we’d drink…
I am in the darkest of rooms, feeling blue. I am in the darkest of moods, screaming for a clue. I don’t feel alive anymore. I don’t want to try I might fall. I have got no tears to water my sores. I am tired of sins dreaded war, but when I close my eyes, to pray at night. You let me know that things will be alright, and when I raise my voice, to…
An open letter. Passed down to anybody, so that their eyes can be wide open and, lips project a weakness, clearly stated in that letter. Please just read and educate, myself about myself or maybe, just advise on how I can treat myself nice. Don’t be mean because you see, I have already been. If you can’t handle me, I’ll talk to God and sit in the palms of His hands. His very big hands,…
I wouldn’t know where to start from the hopeless days that pile into hope filled-nights When I blink my eyes And miss the sun rise seven times As if detached from my body Prisoner of a mind, unmoored The world will keep turning And My Body will keep flowing fluent in the art of disconnection As my mind Searches for a direction Feigning a connection Diving deeper and deeper Yet always falling short by one…
Stripped from all coverage, Dropping down to my knees. I fall asleep in a bed of dead roses After weeping for hours: I have nurtured the life I was blessed with With my salted tears Until I killed them, And now, here, I must nest. “Where have you been?” I ask myself Painstakingly. The silence penetrating me So blatantly. “This is what it feels like when you face what’s in front of you,” I tell…
I’ve been walking back and forth in my mind, on the floor Coming clean when I said I can’t do this anymore. Sleep to see Standing shapes with ringlets of eyes snapping the harness that pulls at my chest, Pulling out my heart as it weaves through my ribcage. Spit out the bloodstains that Are messy, blossoming carnations against the stone. Patterned by the miracle of fire In these carved out holes in cliffsides. Thunder…
