to be insoluble

I went to the lake alone
Hypnotizing winds of turns
Led me here
Bony feet screaming now
In premature raw waters

I wanted space but maybe less of it
Maybe less of it from myself
The world here is all double-sided
But i still see nothing but shaky outlines

Stare down the barrels of water ripples
Murky pebbles become cannons of war
Wreaking havoc to a suppositional world
This isn’t my natural habitat

Sand and water of pure silk
satin spirals cascading around my rubber skin
carressed by a calming essence
cold waters unphased by the sun's penetration

I withold my breath
Attempting to contain my exuding disorder
but mayhem is humanity's aura

Feet planted firmly in muddy battles
Chaos echoes in bubbles
The language of tragedy; silent yet vivid
Spectating my own crime,

What if drowning is defensive?

    Riches of generosity
    Grew stale in the wraith of spite
    Iron bars now chafe my scalp
    Unchain me from dependency

    Warm and humid gold evenings
    Spun to char in the breeze
    Your bitterness clenching my fist
  • Sunlight and Raindrops

    Golden sweet cookies
    And soft white bread
    We smiled and skipped when the sun came
    Drenched ourselves laughing in the rain
    With rainboots as our small rubber boats
    Tromping through pools and mysterious moats
