They star-gazed in his brain
(taking telescopes to lynching sanity)
to see just how he breathed…

how curtained eyes with lion’s mane
concealed inhaling pleas,
which carefully fell
from the shelter of paradox lips
and the crevices of chapped lies…

how tombstones bled into his teeth—
and heartbreak on his tongue—
and how under the belly of manta ray skies,

he laid to rest the dreams
he once did dare to dream.

Here is one I wrote during my lengthy break. I'm still not too sure about it... while I think there may be many mistakes in this piece, I think that there are still a few good things present. (:

Your thoughts, of course, are deeply appreciated! :blowkiss:
Thank you for your time!

( I couldn't come up with a title again. I'm working on it, but if you have any suggestions or overall critique, please feel free to share! )

I like this one as well. im sorry im spamming you with faves, and comments, but you are insanely talented. The only part in here I didn't love was the sentence in parentheses. I like the concept, I just feel like the words could be better. Also, the ending..repeating the word dream(s) at the end of the last two lines kinda feels like a copout. However,
"from the shelter of paradox lips
and the crevices of chapped lies…"

-lovely. as far as a title goes.. I would suggest Supernova Wake. (wake as in funeral.)
