"Suffocating Beauty" by Elexer

Suffocating Beauty

By Elexer

Glistening perfume-filled blankets

Of silk,

Glide amongst the cosmos-

Imitating the starlight

They wish they were.

Lips kiss the face of the moon,

Hoping for an atom of light

To be absorbed

Within themselves.

The moon breathes.

Intoxicating and violent, velvet fills

It's mouth of mountains.

The stars,

The only specks of light,

To guild oneself,

In the darkness.

Soft petals

Turn to suffocation.

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.
