No EscapeThere is no escape from yourself
Crossing a river you return the same
There is no alternative reality
Where you could exist

There is only now and here
And all else is a neural construct
There is no running away
Lost you could not loose yourself

And there is no mindlessness
As no mind could comprehend it
There is only natural movement
In a mind that is untouched
In a body that is liquid
Undefined by its shape
Unconstrained and wide open

FearThe Dark Spot
Festering in the back of the mind.
Always present,
Always growing.
Expanding past irrational,
Devouring sanity piece by piece.
Reality shatters.
Poison enters the veins,
Pumping viciously through the heart.
Spreading.
Tremors ripple through the body,
Paralyzing the muscles.
Fear swallows the mind.
Tears at the flesh.
Heart explodes.
Blood pours.
Releasing the adrenalin.
RUN. FIGHT. SCREAM.
FEAR CONSUMES ALL.

ShatteredThe desire to destroy
Spreads like black flood in my veins
It squeezes and chokes
And there is no air left

Only dull remains
Few shattered pieces of my brain
Empty eye sockets
And screaming neural waves

All my strength
Dissolves into nothingness
Into the darkness unseen
Into the place unknown

Grinning nightmares
Quietly dance on my grave
I dug it myself
By my own I sink in
As only when I'm dead
I can be complete

UntamedLost in the reality
In between molecules of dust
I grasp and search for solid ground
But I'm transparent

All the complexity
All possibilities of existence
Pour into me in one moment
And mindlessly fill my mind

I dissolve instantly
The corporeal shell crumbles
Until the last drop
Of my sanity flows away

Lost in the world
I see all but myself
I am everything plugged in
I am space-time untamed

SimplicitySimply sitting
I collect pieces of my emotions
I throw them like dice
To see where they will go

Simply breathing
With no purpose to exist
I am naked in this mist
And all around is free of me

And the void lurks in
And pours itself into my brain
It evaporates my skin
It envelops my body

When there is nothing to loose
And there is nowhere to go to
I am simply sitting
I am letting it all be

White Crows in the MistCan you see the world
Can you hear its thumps
With death in my eyes
I know what is living

Can you feel the screams
Of white crows in the mist
In the blinding darkness
Light has become pure

In between our thoughts
Something wild is being born
So mindless and beautiful
Unharmed by the flow

Can you feel your decay
Can you sense your growth
On the edge of opposites
You transcend it all

Shock WavesFaces scream of silent pain
Bodies twisted by desires
In castles we build relentlessly
Feelings are forever hidden

Steel and concrete replaced
Pure living and survival
In glass towers beasts indulging
On their unborn children

Let the shock waves come
And pulse through all repulsive
Let them break our brains
And return us to nothing

Gold that serves no purpose
Made-up money with no value
Grins are painted on the walls
Where nobody is laughing

Willingly we blind ourselves
Willingly we chain our bodies
Take the pills they give you
Take sterilised happiness

Let the shock waves come
And burn us 'till we're black
Let the citie

What if?If life as we know it ended today, would you fall to your knees and begin to pray?

Or try and make amends for sins of before, and hope it will lead you to heavens door.

Or would you act like you don't want to know, and hope it's all just a show?

Would you hold your love ones tight, or do something crazy on the last night?

But if it's going to end today, do you even have time to say,

Sorry for all your wrongs, or just tell them what you thought all along.

Even the ones who believed it was true, will be shocked that it actually came through.

So in the end there's not much to say, it's the end of the world.

Have a nice day.

As I lay on the ground and look up at the stars,
crickets are chirping their songs from afar.
From my home on the hill the view is sublime,
such heavenly scenes inspire many a rhyme.

As I gaze I soon wonder what life's all about,
hatred and wars sometimes cause me to doubt.
Yet surely this cosmic dance high 'bove my head,
was created by Someone whose heart for me bled.

This I am sure of, and yes, this I believe,
that the "Someone" who made us wants us to be free.
Free from the pain and the sorrow and guilt,
free to seek peace on this planet He's built.

For now such things, too wonderful for me,
has made my head sleepy, it's time for my tea

What is this?What is this?
What is this feeling in my chest?

It grows stronger everyday
It makes my heart beat faster and my cheeks get redder

What is this?
What is this feeling in my head?

It confuses me all the way
It makes me think about sweet and cute things

What is this?
This feeling we call love?

SanctuarySanctuary, this place that I find in only one place.
Yet the torment of the world still reaches me there
Their words do not matter.
But the way they watch drives me crazy
This Sanctuary I find alone
Brings peace to my soul
As it rips and tears through my flesh.
Oh Beautiful Sanctuary.

Remember meI hope you're happy now and again
To make all that you've done
Completely worth it

I hope you make a pleasant decent
Into the life that you fought for
Abandoned all that you know for

I know that you regret things
And it's okay that you messed things up
But please don't try to correct it
Too much time already has been lost

All I ask of you my friend
Is when you finally get there
Don't come back to our old town
Just go and be happy
Don't try and fix your wrongs
I don't want your money
Just when you're standing on that stage
Please just don't forget me

Nothing in your life
Will ever be easy
Just remember where you come from

Heart AttackWhat have I done,
To alienate myself from her?
What do I do,
Now that I am... invisible?

It's like I can't breathe,
The world's closing in on me,
And I'm trapped
With nowhere to go.

I haven't seen her smile
For several days now,
Nor have I heard
Her angelic voice.

I'm breaking inside,
Clinging to the walls of the past,
Trying to grasp onto something,
Before I die...

Is this what it feels like,
To lose my mind,
Or is this what they call,
A heart attack?

Taken overIt made me break my rules again
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

I know I should stop
I know I'm doing wrong
But something in my mind it tells me
Just keep going on

It made me break my rules agsin
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

Then I fall back down
But never in too deep
I make it out just long enough
To catch a little sleep

It made me break my rules agsin
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

Cry of the Banshee

I heard a wail so soft and low,
from the wood I caught an eerie glow.
As the night wore on 'twas louder yet,
I laid there still, did moan and fret.

To what did the lonesome cry portend?
I shivered to think 'twas near the end.
Could it be the death of a man was nigh?
I waited for my answer from up on high.

The men who dress in long white robes,
who spread their lies across this globe.
See there! Some who dress in red!
Their councils and decrees fill men with dread.

But the one who holds that staff so tight,
the one who's conquered in his might,
was he the one for whom she wailed,
or will they all go down unveiled?

The sound did fade as the

We are all a part of it, yet fail to realise the connectivity of everything.
Our firm bodies are just an illusion given to us by our minds.

If there is no exact location of a quantum particle
And we and all around us is made of these particles
Then there are no finite boundaries between bodies of mass.
All is clouds constantly diffusing with the air.

And if everything is made of the same particles
Then all is connected at the lowest level.
The universe is but a soup of constantly changing forms
And the forms are part of the continuous whole.

Energy and mass are only forms of the same entity.

Energy RushI am falling off
Fading I am away
Into the unknown
Outside of my brain

I am slipping down
And my mind expands
There is no room for it
Even in six heads

I can feel the world
Into me it's pouring
The life energy
The eternal being

I am everything
And all is a form of me
There is nowhere to rush
There's nowhere to flee

And my eyes are wet
With freedom I glow
Running through me
Is the Universal flow

Poisonous Fear

by ~Elendurwen, Oct 28, 2012, 1:07:58 PM
Literature / Poetry / Horror / Free Verse

My poisonous shadow of fear
Glue-like hands and fingernails
Crawling up my swollen spine
Sinking into exposed brain
It chains itself inside
It binds me to its presence

Within a self-abusing mind
Within a body made of shiver
Nightmares broke my running legs
And made my eyes see light
A promise of unbroken world
That I can never have

A shattered personality
An intoxicated sanity
Addicted to my dread
I listen to its silent breathing
I am what it came for
I'm the monster that I fear

It is our own fear that chains us to our place. Without fear, anything would be possible but we generally need to create fear in order to protect ourselves. The question is: when is it too much of being afraid? And at what point does our fear become a life form on its own?

"Within a self-abusing mind" and "Within a body made of shiver" are really deep and beautiful lines; they're simple, but say so much.

I relate. Questions I pose in juxtaposition to this: when is too little fear? Is it really a wholesome life in an absence of fear?

Reply

~Elendurwen Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Hmm I suppose not, that's a good point. I think we should only fight fear that is destructive to us.

Fear is good in moderation. But regardless, I liked the poem. A lot.
