//Brasstown Falls S.C.// *original photography by me* 08.22
They speak an ancient language.
Telling me I owe the sand my soul.
My realities are breaking.
Thoughts from a balcony
transition to whispers from the sidewalks below.
Beckoning me to hurl my body into the winds of change,
to smile as the concrete rushes up,
to relish in the crushing of my bones,
to find peace as my memories stain the ground beneath me.
But i refuse..
I step away from the edge.
I tell myself the day is young.
I gather every goddamned ounce of stubborn resilience I can possibly muster and I force myself to face the morning sun..until the whispers are lost in translation..and the shadows wave goodbye.

My skin is the colour
Your eyes have never seen
Is thought a colour?
Are your eyes a pen?
Can your hands fold me
Into an origami tulip
And see if I can grow in this earth?

02.22 ((written in smoke)) original photography
Every morning i sit here and realize im not okay as tendrils spin through columns of golden sunshine. Loaded memories are like roadside bombs on this highway to nowhere. A future I once held in my hands with a white knuckle grip has slipped through my fingers like sand. And all I can do is light up another and blow another cloud at the past.
Loving you was easy with memories my heart won't soon forget.
But wishing for you now is like trying to put smoke back in this cigarette.

07.20 (original acrylic on 18x24 cotton canvas) "Even Deeper"
Watching you love another has been the coldest winter I've ever endured. My ribs ache like snow laden branches under the sheer weight of this grief. Losing myself a little more each time these lonely bones fragment & splinter. Piece by piece they fall only to be carried off on the cold winds of change...
And I've been sad many times before but I don ’t recall melancholia ever feeling quite this heavy.

Honestly?
you want honesty
throwing gasoline
of what came to be
But I'll give you the truth...
I never knew.
Hanging on could hurt me too
& Loving me was killing you
Some colors don't blend
Like chameleons do
And rightfully so
When rules are bent
Til' hearts are broke
In a burning house
I stand alone
With no way out
I'll call it home.
Where words are weapons
& time stands still
I'll stare at my wounds
& refuse to heal
Sever the hope that already fades
Perish the thought of leaving this place
Bury my pain in this fire scorched land
Because I'll forever be your burning man.

07.20 ( original art on 18×24 cotton canvas) "red eye blind"
It's a Leaf I'm flipping over
I have flipped it once before.
It's fear forever growing
It's you walking out the door
It's memories hanging on the wall
It's bedroom boxes on the floor
It's double texts & missed calls
It's not enough I want more
It's the way you say you love me
it's the honesty I've received
It's in the lies you told me
It's the ones that I believed
It's my ambivalent nature
It's you digging up my past
It's labeling me your dangerous creature
It's going nowhere fast
It's realizing we may not make it
It's trying to stick it out;
It's in your future faking
It's in my stubbornness & doubt
It's waking from your sleep
At 3 AM for me
It's the rate of this growing toxic
It's being blinded & we can't see
It's a morbid curiosity
It's what drives me to play the part
It's being miles away
It's holding a beating heart
It's ripping blankets off of my insecurities
It's when I'm forced to face the truth
It's also the way I'm not allowed to do the same to you
It's losing logic to a dream
It's wishing time would slow
It's the feelings in between
up above & down below
It's when you stared down my demons
and laughed right in my face
Its knowing you need your freedom
It's me still begging you to stay.
It's the cold buried deep
It's reaping what we sow
It's nights we couldn't sleep
It's the pain of letting go
And in the end we lost it
but that's not a big surprise.
When forever is nothing more
than a goodbye in disguise.

01.22 (original art on 18x24 cotton canvas) "Cherokee"
I prefer my coffee black
My whisky neat
sometimes I remember to order food,
sometimes I remember to eat
And when I Love
| Burn
with the ferocity of seven suns
But I've been learning to moderate.
Her time spent alone is just as important as mine.
Finding beauty in the bitterness, the emptiness, the simplicity, makes what we have somehow feel more real.. and I'm grateful.
Even though she exists only in my dreamscape...I'm forever grateful.

Once again..
Hovering on headwinds
high above the murky waters of my youth.
Half of who I am founded on the
calloused hands contingent truths
Of old men who knew everything
Yet nothing simultaneously
From a stolen land
Where loyalty was measured In war torn valor
Love saved for country
and Jesus wept
My mother wiped sweat
and blood and tears from her cheeks
Foundations crumbled
In make up cases
to hide my fathers Insecurities
Fortunately i was
blessed with her backbone
A resilient nature and
an unshakable faith
that brought me back from a war our fathers started
Cowardice doesn't live in my bones
It died with every blow dealt
from heavy hands
only ever sorry on Sundays.
And it is on days like today when the dead won't let me be
I am grateful to be haunted
this fire in me burns hotter than 7 hells
And my future remains undaunted. -kirkshiresloss

There's nothing to be sad about here. This is merely truth and consequence. Cause and effect. I had something beautiful, not once, not twice, but three times. And I destroyed it all because I had no idea who I was.. So here I am, all of me, caught somewhere between what is no longer & what is yet to come. -kirkshiresloss

Life is full of necessary evils, & they all demand a good burn. We don't have a choice but give it freely. With a mind that welcomes an end...
I'm always
3 steps from forgiven
2 steps from forgotten.
1 stumble from an early grave.
And we all know where the mind goes the body
follows...i know i can't do that
but you can
but I won't
but you should
I don't find pleasure in coaxing myself to stay
Setting fire to a feast, calling it a holiday.
Broken glass in my feet, slivers of memories
Rivers of ruin in my dreams, drowning me
Feels like an eternity
But it's only Saturday
...begging..
Tomorrow please be good to me. -kirkshiresloss
