Radiance

I plucked a star out of the
sky
And put it in my head
Enlightened, literally, in
the eyes
Although I burned and
bled;
It fizzled loudly in my
ears
the shine was a blinding
glow
and though I broke to a
thousand pieces
I'd never felt so whole.
I plucked a star out of the
sky
And replaced my mind
and brain,
My skull had burst with
wishing dust
Although it morphed with
pain.
The star was a ball of
blazing white
that ignited and pulled me
apart
And it exploded me into
million pieces
but I felt like a radiant
art.

Cadaverous Pulse

He crossed his arms atop his chest,
Shut his eyes and held his breath;

The rusty nails slam through wood
As all the mourners watched and stood.

His lungs begged him to scream and writhe,
But when the coffin drops he smiles
And lets himself fall into slumber-

How refreshing to be blind.

The isolation brings him comfort
And he's friends with all the ghosts

There's no need to lie or fight or fret,
No need to ever boast.

Peace on Earth has never been
But underground there is no sin

So here he'll lie for all his life,
Without the pain and all the strife..
