if we suppress
all we have left
with pills we shouldn’t take
what’s left?
what’s left of me?
if we suppress
all the past
and the bad paths
what’s left?
where do i get?
throw it out
be yourself
feel your pain
and then, perhaps,
you’ll hold your ground…
Cecily Brown – Two figurines in a landscape
lie on your back,
open your legs,
let me search…
do what i say,
let me start,
no time to waste:
from hip to hip, a bridge;
from mind to mind, a path.
drink my seed,
make me complete,
touch me
where no one has.
keep me awake,
make me sane,
once again.
lie on your back,
open your legs,
i’ll find your soul!

Written while listening to Coconut Skins by Damien Rice.
Vincent van Gogh – Starry night over the Rhone
why life goes on
but her pain remains–
she’s always stuck
in this dead end–
why the questions
that have no answer–
why the bitterness
he asked–
no answer she gave
no answer at all.
*
time for answer
has come
he said–
as long as she obey her head
and forget to please
the ones that don’t care–
Edward Hopper – Sun in an empty room
master of my thoughts,
release me–
dry my eyes
i can’t bear to cry–
memories cut deep
my wounded mind–
there’s nothing
in my lonesome heart–
nothing
the sound of us
echoing in the empty room–

A big thanks to Annie.
Martin Stone – The empty bed
i–
i forgot–
forgot your face
but–
i miss–
i miss
the sense–
the sense
of your presence–
*
this–
this is enough–
this–
this will hurt–
this–
does–
will?
Lorinda Fore – Tribal love
our love
has no start–
no end
it has–
it just
is–
it always
has–
forever will
be–
Dana Gumms – Together Alone
the last crumb
was thrown–
thanks, i’m always
hungry for you–
*
drop of water
on this arid heart–
you have no idea
how you quench my mind–
*
being with you
i forget i ache–
the door remains open
i hope i could stay–
Jennifer Allison – Blue, a self portrait’
i’m not–
i’m never–
important
i go–
i do–
the effort
you like–
you say–
you leave–
you don’t–
you won’t–
come back
Nailia Schwartz – Still life
life’s calling–
i pretend
i pretend i’m deaf–
between bed sheets
i hide my head–
i’m deaf–
life’s calling!
pick up! pick up!
enough of this–
-hello?
