Escaping Autumn Upon Your Coast
It’s the second of October and I am still standing upon the shoreline
scrutinizing the force of nature, every inch of land and sea
The sounds that echo from the crashing waves
Are reminiscent of you and your standing
Roaring yet calm, a dark looming blue in the midst of crystal clear
Reverberating the lyrics of a fading summer
Humid and crystal blue and humming your name
I can hear you speak to me through the breaking of the sea upon the sand
Questioning the imprints of my feet
As I chase you further into something I can’t quite understand
upon the shore
I settle into the footprint, one that’s almost your size
Watch as it envelopes my own, smaller and fragile
Could this have been you, in a past life?
And what are you whispering, I wonder as I stare far into the horizon
As the breeze nips my neck and the fading sun still stings my bare skin
As the day dwindles into some dark, lonesome dream
You had an adamantine heart
Imperishable when held by my faulty hands
clawing at the cure that had been seemingly locked within your ribcage
A perpetual thirst haunting my tongue
as the ocean heaved me back onto dry land
With salt in my hair and despair deep within my bones
stranded upon a seaside, with nothing but the memory of you
traced into an outline by dainty fingertips, a coastline memorial
until I build up the courage
to explore your now-murky waters, to wander where I can no longer stay afloat
to drown amongst your presence and beach upon your shoreside
I may be torn apart by the hungry riptides
and scorched by an envious sun
However, I may be able to escape this looming autumn
and sink back into June, once more before its light dims
and touch your skin once more
Hey, why does my mouth always taste like metal after we kiss?
Her hair was a flowing cherry red
Like the ichor she lacked
A heart that never bled
A hollow soul
From which tears were never shed
A beautiful monster
A creature in disguise
Making lives shatter
Good thing it takes
More than one bite
To become a creature like her
Sickly sweet words
Force fed poison
Scarred by her venom
Making limbs go numb
As I pulled away
I saw my flesh in her fangs
My life in her claws
My blood in her maw
Coating her lips and her grin
As my vigour wears thin
How lucky am I
As ironic as it seems
To already be something
Other than human
Curses can’t stack
Revisited
I keep coming back here
Back to this place
Waiting for treatment
Awaiting my fate
Will I get better?
How long will I wait?
All there is to want
Is all I have to face
A fragment
Too late?
In this body I feel like
a lone inmate
Interlaced
Fragmented Visions
Astray from an external focus
Gripping on to the last sensation
Tight laced
Delirium
The delicate damsel
Further breathless
Restricted
And
Grey
Just a call away
I am sorry
She’s gone
The person you have reached is currently unavailable
Beyond unreachable
From staring too long into the void
Bandaid🩹
A tortured soul cries out unable to contain the agony
Static and moisture fill up the clouds, we can’t escape these cycles
Swallow
gripping tighter to the cliffs edge, praying for better weather
But the Cataclysmic storm rages on, the pills did not matter
Another visit needed but only a bandaid is given
smothering any hope or desire
Secret🪽
Symphonic silence is the wall flower
The guardian angel whom watches from afar
Forever still
Quiet like soft snow
Invisible beneath breaths thin vail
Wild Medicine
I swear I can only breathe weed
I’m stuck do not make me plead
Alien flowers
Give me the power
Once I Exhale I will finally be freed
I want to be clear as day that I used ai for the background. That being said the overlay is from my alarm every morning (trying to cut back on smoking weed) and it is Mostly me standing there. The head and torso are me to be exact but the legs and partly arms are not mine (that’s kinda a morbid thought. it also made my arms way too long lmfao). I don’t think I will use ai for many more of my photos but I really liked how this one turned out.
The Poetry is always mine of course 🩶
Under the Bridge
Scared to fall down
Or to drown
But what scares most around
Is lie I keep telling myself
“It’s merely water under the bridge”
So I am sorry to any one who liked the original poem more. It was my least favourite one and I personally felt it didn’t capture the feeling I wanted.
Fae
Nymph by the water
Hear the Buzzing in the trees
You were given Wings
To fly back to your daughters
Grackle Grackle
Pretty dainty black bird
Not quite a raven nor quite a crow
Still quite the songbird
And feathers with a glow
Grackle, Grackle
Tell me your life lessons
And everything you know
In Hiding…
Worn Thin
The hermit hides
Hidden away
Always planning for the worst
Doomsday
Climate Change
Hear
The Tock
On the clock
Wet time ticks away
Hope you brought an umbrella
For the storm will come your way
Tick Tock
City Eyes
Luminescent bildings
Street lights
Glare into their wondering eyes
But can you even read inbetween these artificial lines?
Just like a Duckling
Relax by the waves
Let them crash threw your mind
Learning how to enjoy one’s self
Takes a lot of soaking time
Left in the Dark
Hold on to hope
With no help in sight
This is how they make us live
In this sad
Pitiful
Barely existent
“Life”

Winter in Halifax
Cool weather
Winter time
A day absent of falling snow
Maritime weather
Ocean town
The wind really knows how to blow
