-t.f.s.
Fading life in the middle of the sky.
In depths of evil,
fingers in the dirt pray
to welcome God's darkness,
to take us upper in the air.
Floating secrets hidden in minds,
mouths covered with mud
to grow a poison so good,
feel the tearing pleasure,
plague is coming to greet us.
I could feel Earth's vibrations coming.
Breathing. Slow motion.
Sky is running out of time. Animals disappear from ground.
Eyes are haunting in the night, flashes cut inside.
The enemy grows bigger as hearts are getting eaten,
eyes swollen, hands shaking from earth's largest power
in Universe- cosmic danger regeneration;
penetration is on, poison sucks on your skin,
tongue freezes,painting the back of your sin,
creating rooms of dust and evil, envy and kill;
hands are tightening the weight of the world,
Earth's shaking, eyes see everything
In a world drowning in madness, faking
all the goodness flying, air dirty, souls dying.
Powerless and absorbed on the edge of regret,
living nightmares with the walking dead,
end is near as our humanity,
in shape-box as hanged pig,
nobody hears the insanity
we've came along to fear.
Hands shaking, Earth's breaking
new dawn is taking our last scene.
World is so gone, nothing's real.
— "A Kiss on the Forehead", Marina Tsvetaeva
[ text ID: A kiss on the forehead — erases misery. / I kiss your forehead. / A kiss on the eyes — lifts sleeplessness. / I kiss your eyes. / A kiss on the lips — is a drink of water. / I kiss your lips. / A kiss on the forehead — erases memory. 1917 ]
I am air to feel ,
born to breathe in the sea ,
deep open ocean.
-t.f.s.
Oddest places spent,
darkness in a hand,
shades of grey stand
in the palm of my head.
Falling down,
coming around,
there's fallen ash
under my pillow heart.
-t.f.s.
“You scorpion woman, you have the devil's mouth
And you have scales for skin
And a snake's venom isn't as potent
As the deceitful sounds made from the hole in your painted on face
You're a tree bent by the wind”
- your words could be a flicker to somebody's heart,
but a scar to someone else's arm.
Life is not all about sad things ,
and it's not about promises ,
it's not only about happiness ,
It's about to feed your own need ,
and to smile to images no one can ,
as you make your breath the air
the others can breathe together
and life can change you ,
it can crush you, break you ,
torn you apart ,
but what it's inside
it is never lost.
-t.f.s.
there is no safe place
even night is bright as day
the hypocrite hides
the judge will be judged
live by the sword die by it
same amount weighed out
inside or outside
a reflection of the self
