.king.of.all.the.sad.things. [edit 1.o]
10.10.04 (5:20 am)   [edit]


[ .king.of.all.the.sad.things. ]

all the sad things
still burning in me
a nagging duty
to my loneliness
in your failing sun

migration of all the hateful things
never gotten what I wanted
so my mind still speaks
awakened to a colder memory
of light & beauty & desire
where there is no salt nor flame

things are breaking in me
around me
cracked leaves line the floor
in your own house
of desperation & deceit
no longer my lover
not my enemy
nor my memory

drawing shapes
to make you up again
in your autumn lit ocean
back lit like seas
with mediterranean scents

here we find
all that my hands will work at
are feeding the weakening dream
that is you and me

earth toned crown
build just for me
of orange and browns
made up of summer-king leaves
with sun in the dirt
in my wild-boy hair

reaching through your
gauntlet of sadlings
the ones that hold me down
in the dead grass at twilight
where ghosts like to play
where we walk
no throne nor thorn
as we hide in the shelter of my wing

my arms bound in colours
of mathematics
of used up occult or ancients
and crows
within sigils of mercury navigation

tearing down my angel hands
the sadlings know the way to bind me
to strap down the helm
and crown me on my melancholy hood

so its where we find
in the fall and breeze
I am still your king
sunken and sullen
holding onto your memory
the broken memory
of what happened to my musae

her head down and tugging
on my colour burnt arms
with her last moments
last breaths
pulling me out of the way

the wreck of her body
her dead wet eyes
always in my hand

where all a king can do
is wonder how
all the sad things found me
knowing somewhere inside its over
knowing somewhere the world ended
when you left my wing

My, but I can not even pretend to understand the details that led you to this. Nor can I feel what you did, thogh I feel pain and sadness and longing within it. It is beautiful, Laine. I feel you wandering through your memory.

without explaining my writing ..
[or 'language' *smiles*]
a lot of my work is based on previous tales I have compiled in my head..

my writings are based on metaphors or allegories I had previously used..
for example: I wrote a three pohem series [which is on my personal site http://lyinghere.tk ]
about my muse, which is mostly represented by my dreams, visions, thoughts, plots, or stories, that I've written..

so I've incorporated a lot of different sources that are part real-life, part lyrical, part dream, part stories.. this is mostly about autumn and sacrifie, the time of loss...

but thats just a start to explain it all without picking at it.. :king of all the sad things: is a concept I'd been working with for about two months before I could get the right wording..
