She hid her sighs under the rocks on the riverbed She hid her tears inside the walls of the cave Her restless dreams lay crumpled between her heartbeats Her lips were trembling against an unknown name Bolts of thunder crawled inside her spine The rain poured down on her in a seizure fit Her blood was roused in a feverish ...
You breathe inside of me like flowers blooming, like sleeping embers in the furnace of my heart heaving restless sparks in startling fever dreams. My bleeding feet have walked miles into myself and away from your entrapping embrace My soul has broken your spell averting my eyes from your gaze My silver armor is crumbling against blood soaked reveries I feel ...
A flower never worries how long ago she left her home inside the earth Innocently soft, she doesn’t know where her life rises out of She blooms without knowing how to bloom. The goldfish swims inside his fishbowl knowing only to breathe through his gills, kill his hunger and thirst, and just be a soul, wrapped inside water. ...
Ocean waves screeching at the top of their lungs tears leaking from their veins foam oozing at their lips Ocean waves heaving breaths bruised lungs tied to a rock Ocean waves with broken chains churning madly spraying pained screams up into the heavens whirling between these walls everywhere, all at once Ocean waves with a heavy heart blue, black and ...
The howling is over my blood doesn’t howl for you anymore The desperate screaming has quieted down The gnawing that made my skin itch from the inside, it’s all gone The white eyes that blinked through the crimson they all have fallen asleep All that’s left now is a tired humming a humming in my weary blood where the last ...
You’re a parasite stuck on the inside of my lower lip smearing my flesh with rotten saliva feeding on my blood leaking threads of its crimson onto my tongue and breathing stench into my mouth Leech, you leech! growing deviously drinking gulps of my unwilling mind sucking eagerly on my torn blue veins you grow in me like a tumor ...
These sound waves carry candy syrup that I vomited on them the first time they tickled my ears but layers beneath the thick, wet stench, I’ve become immune to sugar. — Senali Perera | 17.10.2016 1:00 PM #nickcave #ineedyou #skeletontree
The demon that my mind conceived has a heartbeat now My fingertips are tingling waiting for it to bleed through them I wait, I wait for it to growl for it to consume My throat is choked without its breath So silently, I wait… — Senali Perera | 2.10.2016 9:15 PM
I drink souls one gulp after the other They’re acid eating the throbbing flesh the throbbing flesh that is my heart A handful of wounds exposed veins vomiting blue blood Aching, forever aching collapsing at the slightest touch Swallowing fistfuls of skin suffocating my infected sighs Drain me, they drain me and I know the blame is mine My glitch, ...
I’ve been staring at a wall, wishing it would stare back. The wall crumbled, and I can finally see that it’s the void that is gazing into my weary eyes.
To be the darkness to take the shape of the void to dissolve against infinity silent and cold To expand into an eternity of indifferent non-being To evaporate into nothingness where the vacuum stands still Instead, this soul is a wound torn skin and exposed nerves sore and pulsing Hurting at the faintest pressure bearing a crimson sea underneath stifling ...
I imagined I would be an expanding galaxy All that shine I dreamed of possessing All those stars I was meant to bear All that life I bore within my core I was made to engulf the darkness I was made for light But now I find that I drift alone my eyes swallow the dark in silence, they mourn I ...
Keep your mouths shut, people ’cause Mother Nature’s tears are smeared in feces her soils are suffocating and her sighs are bruised and infected We, the obedient flesh robots are loyal to Her when she craves more life at her very decaying core We are a contagious disease and we pass it on to everything that is breathing Mother nature’s ...
I wish the universe was void of life that the planets rotated with nothing but rocks and dust on them that warmth and cold were only those of lava and snow The silence unbroken for the eternity can not be converged into a mere moment I wish it spread in an infinity that was never stirred by a living breath ...
The black hole has got a headache swallowing all this light is making her uneasy emptiness is infecting eating flesh like a worm It feels like she’s stayed up to watch bad dreams The black hole is squirming like a dog in a sack gnawing at the space screaming with white eyes There’s no rumble in the stillness the silence ...
Fire, blood, death the world is bleeding the world is on fire fear, screams, pleas for aid agony, destruction, crumbling ashes The planet is exhaling smoke the planet is choking on tears Flesh and bone buried beneath layers of soil Frightened beings looking for a place to hide Lost, blind, going astray possessed demons keen to slay the mad victimized by ...
Every second feels like a leap of a giant whole and overwhelming I breathe in the void and exhale racing heartbeats My eyes – swimming black moons in white skies eclipsing my thoughts, wide and alive The material surrounding me envelopes me into a sphere of realness, of inert presence I’m inhaling the moment – it feels palpable The ...
