A Supernova

The supernova's fiery gaze,

sets the stygian night ablaze,

through emptiness, a steady shine

as two lights intertwine.

The supernova bursts

and casts a thousand words

through empty space and time

into the universal mind

to cure the deepest woes

and fight the fiercest foes.

Shattered lights disperse

throughout the universe

into the infinite shadow of space.

Nothing can erase

this masterpiece above

in the spiraling arms of love.

It echoes deep within,

beneath the shallow skin,

whispering with a blinding flash,

unsettling the frozen ash,

silently under the cosmic glow.

Let go. Let go. Let go.

Needlepoint

Strangled by icy intrusion
of sanity's dying diffusion
burning through my veins
burning slower and slower

Silence echoes in corners
like veils on the faces of mourners
crying through the rain
crying slower and slower

Consciousness severed to splinters
of black and blue and ember
sinking in mismatched strains
sinking lower and lower

Futures melt to injections
in needlepointed directions
dying through the pain
dying slower and slower
