"The dark, lifeless form follows me around everywhere I go, breathing
alongside me and exhaling poison into my body; wrapping laden
iron chains around my throat and pulling my life
down to its unsanctified sanctum. Moving slow
and methodic as a murderer plays with his enslaved meal."
-EL
(part one)
"Its eyes soulless lakes of taunting waves crashing upon obsidian
slates of sin; a brothel parlor brimming with the carnal cravings
of blasphemous deed bereaving the ethereal night. Cynical gusts
relay chills of dismay and wretchedness through my bloodstream
and incapacitates my mind with a numbing regard to pain.”
-EL
(part two)
"The constant inner conflict that this unconsciousness inflicts
entices the gaunt silhouette with a vapid egress. A frigid gesture grips
onto my shoulder and controls every maneuver I take, but its chains
I still cannot break. It follows--attached at all times--suffocating
my soul; it's become a part of me that I am unable to unleash."

Her eyes caught the light like the dull end of a knife.
EL
“We dance
with death
each day.”
-EL
“Slowly falling
into barren spaces.
Slowly failing
to recognize faces.”
-EL
“Her lips tasted of frustration
mixed with the sadness
of yesterday with a pinch
of sunshine. Dripping
from her tongue
were the thoughts that hid
among the soiled
sheets from the night before.
Oh how her eyes showed
the discernment of her
desolate reality
and nothing more.”
-EL
“I’d rather be in purgatory
by my own hand
than have this endless sense
of being forgotten.”
-EL
“The screams of God echoed
through space and rang
like that of a tortured soul.”
-EL
How do I stop wanting you?
EL
“Show the world
that you are
not fragile, but
that you are
unbreakable.”
-EL
“What is it like to see her eyes
finally bright with joy
and her smile shining
with knowledge of true love
without you?”
-EL
“Wrap your vines around
my ribs and heart
strings. Use my bones
as a stabilized
ground. Curl your roots
about my throat.
Make my skull
into your crown.”
-EL
“Jump into life
with your naked
mind open. Wade
in the water
of knowledge
and plunge
into vast oceans
of sensations.”
-EL
“Your bones
have become a cage
and I
your faithful
songbird.”
-EL
How do you let go of someone who doesn't want you to?
EL
“Inner turmoil is tearing
at my spirit as if two hooks
were piercing my sides
and being reeled back
to their owners. Two paths
grabbing me by the arms
and demanding me to follow. Caught
in the crossroads
of a waiting catastrophe
ready to strike.”
-EL
“My lungs are drowning
in oxygen; suffocated
by your words.”
-EL
“Reborn like the morning
sun rays reaching
to the new dewy
earth. Peaceful
as the sea foam
grazing sandy toes
on Atlantic beaches. Calm
as the silent night-
fall of snow
embedding itself
in your hair. Still
like the bright shining
stars in the heavens. Serene
as the hushed hum
of your mother’s lullaby.”
-EL
“My mind craves destruction
somewhere hidden
behind mounds of impulsive passion
and useless facts. Amid
the disease-ridden war trenches
of serotonin and skin. Trapped
in the oppressive whirlwinds
of raging emotions
leftover from yesteryear’s
bittersweet moments. Stained
with bloodied words
and tumultuous thoughts
that invite nihilism
to take part in the havoc.
