Black Out Poetry | Books

Don't you love posts that come to life with no prior initiation or thought? Heck I wasn't even gonna have a post ready for tonight. I was stressed and tired so couldn't write. Therefore I turned to art, when I didn't feel like drawing I said "hey maybe you should try black out poetry and see what happens" here's the results. 

Short, simple. Meaningful? Only you can decide. 

1; "He looked expressionless"

"Quite right."

"Why?"

"Look. Look." I whisper.

2; Unfortunate, catching conversation

that clusters in gentle pretend

troubling. 

3; 'Young. Fair. Alone.'

her past slowly thought.

Swore into nonsense.  

-

Notice the living,

starting to fade.

Small. Same. Senseless.

4; "Please stay happy,

Good. Wrong.

Technically..." 

I smiled.

"...mythology."

5; "Pretend I charm you."

Satisfied hearts make the next move.

The edge.

A moment together.

Collapsing.Scattering.

Physical. Natural.

Constantly breaking,

living.

"What could you do to me?"

6; True Consent.

Plunges. Piercing. Impaled.

illusion bloodied of hearts.

I, its lesson.
