learned love

His soul was the color

of broken glass

and creaking ice

a moment before

the plunge.

she fell.

His soul was the space

between the fine print-

so when he took her breath away

she didn't know

he wouldn't be giving it back.

she can't breathe.

And when the day ends

she is chained

to the corpse of a man

who never had a soul

to begin with.

so maybe she'll give him hers.

tearing it to ribbons

and pressing the silken fragments to cold lips.

but they flutter to the floor,

like the bloodied bodies of slain doves

and she learns

that love cannot be taught.

Make it stop

Pain.

Searing, heart-rending –

a man melts

into himself,

until there is no

Self

only the memory of

Pain.

Discomfort

ill-spinning-wicked delusions

intruding

on time

Get out

Leave me be

But it won’t.

Can’t…

leave.

The man

is

all the pain has...

Pure Nothing

It is darker than dark.

Lost somewhat

All its color had been drained out

All it's emotion is gone

You look at it,

And feel nothing

Not happiness

Not sadness

Just nothing

You see nothing

You feel nothing

It is nothing

Darker than dark

Blacker than black

All it's life is gone

You see nothing

VantaBlack

is

Nothing

Chameleon

Mystery

What color is this?

It shimmers in the sunlight

and goes from one color to the next.

Yesterday we only had the colors of the rainbow.

Today is a new world, everything goes.

Do you know? Are you still

thinking or Are you

perplexed?
