Watering With Poison by Elexer

Watering With Poison

By Elexer

I use the poison

To water my flowers,

To listen

For overnight shrouds

Of wisdom.

Keeping sogging hearts

In night skies,

Filled with stars

Of twilight.

Listening to the rhythm

Of the drumming pulse

Of lifetimes lived

With coping

White lies.  

"Cities of Waste" by Elexer

Cities of Waste

by Elexer

I am not nearly

As slimy

As the falsehoods

you tell yourself.

Covered in your

Garbage- a core

Of a battery

stuck to me like a burning appendage.

Locking yourself up

to not see how messed up

you have made

this world.

The glass only a mirror-

you hear

yourself say you use to see

outside your comfort zone.

Sunlight by Elexer

Sunlight

by Elexer

The sweet fragrance

Of your love

Fills me with sunlight.

Your eyes glow

With the hope

Of the North Star.

My internal compass 

no longer points north,

but to you.

Your soul is the gravity 

I orbit 

As your warmth 

Keeps the darkness

at bay.

Coral Dust

Coral Dust

By Elexer

Chilling brush of wind

Rips my buds

From within

And builds them into mountains

Of sparkling,

Coral dust.

Filling me with fruitful

Awakenings

Of tea complete in youthful

Gatherings.

Delicate powder

Wrapped tightly

To bring power

In nightly

Slumber.
