  Wormfood

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Do not bury me when I die Leave my bones where'er they lie For the sun to bleach by day For animals to gnaw away For rain to wet and time to dry The canopy of black and blue The only church I ever knew The angels that burn in the night The God that fills the world with light Please l...

  The Irony of Death

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  In Death, no man will find he reigns; No king who liv'd of opulence Will rule the man of lifelong pains; In mortal wealth, no dominance. The wretched worms shan't be more fine That feast upon the rich mens' hides, Than those that of my corpse shall dine; In fashion, no greate...

  The Night

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Shadows toss’d long by setting sun You are not home, not yet return’d I feel it’s true that you are gone By foul play, though unconfirm’d You’re more to me than sister, twin You’re in my mind, you know my thoughts Same blood ‘neath our shared skin Do never think I have forgot ...

  Would You Still Believe I'm Alive?

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Growing Apart

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Weren't we great? And shining like an unfinished dream. Breaking into 0's and 1's. Deconstructing like our world. No schemes nor plots nor plans. Simply drifting like comets. Unparallel. And finished crossing paths. This is no system you can crack. Nothing time can hael. ...

  The Ocean's Shore

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Who Needs Love?

  

  By Tenthmuse, ..., WA

  Useless device of those that fear solitude, I will not succumb to your lusty allure I prefer my lonely attitude To the drama and heartache I strive to deter The boys and girls preceeding me That took the fiery road of relationship Now claw at their agonized hearts, never free (And I want no...
