Often I wonder where the time went,
And you along with it,
Were you ever there to begin with,
Just another figment,
I do not know why I need to know,
I'm already broken,
But there is a comfort in the thought,
That someone is watching...
I'm suffocating in the vacuum.
At first the cold sea shocks me, its chilling touch something to be avoided and feared.
But it never leaves, my body lingers in the water's embrace.
It's always there, sometimes shallow enough that I can move, even laugh and play.
Other times I lay floating helplessly in a bath that feels of my own design as I drift away from all time and space, teasing me towards the event horizon, towards the end of everything, before I drift back towards the shallows.
'Not today,' the tide whispers to me, almost taunting me, 'not today.'
The tide encroaches
I stand there, paralyzed and watching
The empty black water slowly engulfs my feet
I feel cold
Cold that rushes up my spine
I can’t move, can’t escape
The tide marches up my body
I watch and wait
I can feel it in my bones
No escape, nothing to escape from
It’s at my waist and I feel nothing
My body stands still, unwavering, unflinching as it rises to my chest
I look up to the sky as the tides rushes in faster and faster
Nothing, no moon, no stars, the sky is a black abyss like the water that consumes me
The tide swallows my head
Submersed I still look up, my limp body floating in the empty water
All I see
Walking through the landfill
Like it's a meadow
Sun shining, flowers in the garbage
Butterflies spreading grime around
Darkness by the winter fireplace
Creeping from the flames
Laughter around, dread fills me
No one else feels the parasites
Hundred foot waves crash into the shore
Of joy or sadness, roll the die
I'll check the report as I wash away.

The Epic of Agathon Helladius
The Epic of Agathon Helladius
Book One
Pax Camilla, the wife of Agathon Helladius, was staring at her husbands mausoleum in the great city of Rome with tears streaming down her face. She wonders how did it come down to this, why did he have to die this way?
20 Years Earlier
The City of Sparta
There is a meeting going on in Sparta, news has reached the leaders of the Greek cities of Rome's plans for a second invasion into Greece. The first invasion was repelled at Thebes by Agathon Helladius the greatest general ever to come out of Athens. Agathon speaks to the leaders.

With a late night wish,
On a shooting star
Hopes that we'll go far
Warm embrace, soft kiss
Smiles tell, signs of bliss
Young to think it was all alright
Chorus:
I may not be the prettiest boy
But just wait a little longer
And you will see, I am a handsome man
Cuddling by the couch
Watching your favourite movie
Talking about whatever's groovy
[Breakdown]
Sudden turn for the worse
No escape from my curse
Everything seemed just fine
Chorus:
I may not be the prettiest boy
But just wait a little longer
And you will see, I am a handsome man
[Solo]
All I want is some more time
Solve the problems with me
Life isn't poetry, it
Bare rock beneath my feet
Arms stretched hooked ahead
Sweat drenched in the heat
Climbing the infinite mountain
Looking up, no end in sight
So far, paradise awaits
No answer with all my might
Climbing the infinite mountain
At hand my solution
Pandora's box of creativity
Free from all pollution
The secret, infinite productivity
Feet slip, fallen again
Hot magma burning skin
Failure, no hope of gain
Climbing the infinite mountain
Lips cracked, another step
Fingertips search for the end
Mountain paradise is kept
Away, always away from me
The edge creeps
Away, always away from me
My sanity crawls
Away, always away from me
To it, I am nothing but a rotting tree
Something to slither in and around
It profanes me as its shelter
My mood means nothing
It will always coil its self around my bones
My mind, sense and heart
Leaving me to rot
The rotting disease spreads
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The forest rots into a swamp
The loneliness fades
Still it brings no happiness
The axe releases it from me
It falls to the floor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes it softly falls onto the ground, with on
Often I wonder where the time went,
And you along with it,
Were you ever there to begin with,

Replete.
I find myself awake today unlike any
other. My eyes the sandy camel's,
far and wide
the glaze
it hits me with a force that knocks wind
from my chest
and every day I wake beside you I
feel as though I am entering life
for the first time
repeatedly famished they drink
(I drink) you like an oasis in the desert
parched and eager
the clouds cannot hold me down
this force
it is ultimate and it dwells deep in my
stomach
black hole chasm
I want to take you
keep you stranded inside
lost with me, and found.
the sky is a haze of sunken grey, peeping stars and galaxy incredible. I sit beside you and in the dark we smoke clouds of imperfect, discussing the world and the love for our fathers that is a long time coming. We shiver collectively at the delight of the moon's mysterious guise and just like the universe I want to crawl myself inside you, discover your uncharted wiles and subspace that is your terrain,
the golden glow of your face in the morning sun is an acquired taste that I could suck down and consume for the eternity that is our lives; this panting a losing battle of the subliminally hypnotized, and its undeserving glory would preceed

The heart takes photographs of her feelings.
One.
promiscuity at its peak
she ducks and weaves around his middle,
sliding across her chest
snake-like and sly-eyed smile
pasting kisses with their maiche hearts
he holds her firm; holds tall; holds her
sweeping his hands
they form fists around breasts
planting love like seedlings, watering her with an ocean
of cool calm drowning pegasus
take flight
wings fold around a centre crushed and spent,
could do this all night,
and they thrust and spend their hours spending
their coat-walls and
shattering ceiling cracks
while these stories they share
mere baggage
carry the weight, I'll hold you to your feet
my dear.
Two.
I cannot fathom, in all of
the slumber of a lion is a relentless calm
it is a hummingbird's quiet dying breath
and a few petals
swept up in the rain on a tin roof
the sky a heaving flux of cold and an ambiguous feeling
wafting and churning above their heads
with their hearts in their mouths tonight
(getting to know what being alive feels like)
it is an infatuation,
soaking in the souls of a lover's lament.
he holds my arms and speaks in whispers that he's not the conventional type. for a cynic, I shrug and let myself believe the escape that unfolds in his palms.
Placebo serenades us in the darkness of a quiet room,
are you trying to make me fall in love with you I ask with a silent smile
there is no welcoming answer, only a blind noise I recognise to be a blush
I wish for him to say yes or, aren't you already,
and I wrap my arms around a chest I want to nest my ribcage in, knowing that these words are too early
I am a stumbling zone of Tetris
begging to be put together and broken repeatedly
he yields graciously like a knight to sword approaching a queen and it is an unmistakable breath of heaven,
so we build and build until the ringing could crack the sky and Zeus would aim a lightning bolt because

My life feels much different now, yet everything seems the same. The same feeling I have of being consumed that I've had before hasn't gone away. There are different situations but it just feels like they are more webs piling up. As I reach my hand to try and break through they get thicker, the space around becomes more and more confined. I'd like to think that I will get through it eventually, but the more the webs build up, the more I think I will be consumed by them.
My closest friends often have no love for themselves. Despite being told this is unhealthy I love being a member of the cult of misery, and through our stubborness and creativity we shall rule the world.
I wish just for once it would last over a month, especially this time. Someone I really identified with, probably the last at the school currently, and I stopped being myself out of my own paranoia. *sigh* Not all bad, few things looking up, but I can't let my loneliness crush me this time.
