People In My Head


Metaphysical limbs

in a 4D palace

cling to me

in the option of summer day

 

Shutting doors of those forgetful

Stealing seats of those away

Keeping company’s space empty

Then, whispering nothing words in vain

 

Touch the hollow spaces

around tenuous neck veins

Press razors against abated wrists

And steal the victim tears you take

that keep you living

in summer’s day

IconoclastSalem

Faeries, magick, enchantment, Tir Na Nog, Mother Earth, poetry, the stars, and wonder are all I need in life. Hey, I'm Salem. I'm just an average nobody trapped in forever cycles of hurt and repent. My mind mixes thought and reality ever so painfully which, in turn, creates the chaotic painting that is my life. Who said chaos couldn't be beautiful?
