Meander in the Snow

Meander in the Snow

meander down, snow inbound, path unplowed, mind enshroud.
gone are the leaves, the sun sets early over the eaves,
wind swept in cold air, and in my head the echoing memories blare.
crunch of frozen, wet foliage underfoot, snow covers all the trees past the roots,
loving the sight of my breath before my eyes, as I am crippled by those miserable cries.
dusk settles in over the folly, the world crows, uneasily in its new melancholy,
walking in past footsteps through the dimlit, retrace my pitiful mistakes that I did commit.
blinded by the night, tripping over snow bites, and there I saw a pale winter wight.
come to claim my frozen heart, I had it in my hands, with my organ I did part,
and that sprite took me out of the dark, and from there on a journey I did embark.

Thorn Covered Heart – Andy
Unable

My heart is lost
In places worn
Pieces torn
By time’s thorns

Love comes uneasy
To one so unsettled
By an alien thought
Yet so readily bought

Time and time unfold
Different ways I hurl
Myself into tragedy and pain,
neglected into infamy

Blood dribbles down my back
The words on this book black
The victims decidedly fine?
Yet mine, the line, oh my mind
It is a crack past the edge
Is it their images bathed
In my self loathed wine
Making all seem fine
In my mind, when I am not.

Pointed Hearts

Pointed Hearts

Pointed at my heart
A dagger thrust could start
A war over that very part

Pins lodged in my head, hurt
But the blood trickling down
Pools at the foot of my bed

Silent muffled sounds echo
Laughing giggles, roaring should
All in contrast of the whisper

A galaxy spinning in the dark
The part where I missed the spark
Now I wonder, alone, in the park

Head wounds open to the world
I close myself off from the rest
And die from distress
