Mariana

I see no reason to be, since I will always be,

Something, nothing, to someone and no one…

 

I am deep as the Mariana Trench. Drowning

In neuro-oceans. Burning, melting, molten

And iron cast. Bionic. Alive as ash glaring

At the past, shallow enough to choke

On sun forsaken rain, oil-slicked and sick

As waxed over candle wick and jarred beets

With Ball rusted tops on shelves built on dust.

 

Breath wears thin as a waning moon tied to

A rooftop garden with glass ceilings, watered as

Ophelia’s concealed cadence. Doesn’t feel a thing,

Not even a dying stars last whisper, a simple request

     

                               For nothing.

You are a true poet. This is amazingly profound and your metaphors are creative.
Beautifully written.

Forgive the pun - this is deep.

"I am deep as the Mariana Trench. Drowning
In neuro-oceans."

Excellent line! Good Stuff!

Fantastic reality, asking questions of self, about self.

'Burning, melting, molten ~ And iron cast. Bionic. Alive as ash glaring ~ At the past, shallow enough to choke ~ On sun forsaken rain, oil-slicked and sick ~ As waxed over candle wick and jarred beets ~ With Ball rusted tops on shelves built on dust.' Those words run the gauntlet of thought incredible.

Nothing is for nothing .. otherwise it doesn't exist?

I like your humility and depth of flare going hither and yon and nowhere. Cool read on a chilling Saturday and noday. You're a trip boscoe.

Neruo-oceans
I love it
Super badass work
Even the way it's written and how it reads kind of in a staccato way
Even the the layout is dope
All around great piece, I'm a big fan
