The Artwork of Travis Trium Perfectum
“I find it hard to breathe in this world knowing that I am from another. Time and time again, my thoughts born from sin, yet I’ve never had any other.” I’m running low on oxygen, but never on words. My breathing slows. Am I preserving or struggling? If I can find the words to explain...
“Without explanation, without warning the days grow colder, longer. They say these are the moments that will make me better, stronger. Such an unconscious statement by a mind that has never been honest. I have the heart to say when I felt weaker, bleaker and those were my fondest.” There is something hidden deep within...
“I hope my words cradle your fall. You’re sitting in my ribs, writing on my breathing walls. I feel you move, my throat’s a hall.

“I have so much depth you’d likely drown.” So caught up in the meaningless and insignificant aspects of life that when you come up for air there won’t be any left. Reach for my hand, but as you grip it, you will feel that I won’t do the same. The water that you’re in is...
“I really do despise the sun, but I would follow you into it.” Words muttered to a person that may not remember, but that’s not important. I’d say them again and again and introduce them to all of your personalities. The emotion lingers and the wind whimpers. Peace and chaos wrapped around each other so...
“A warning written in the stars, so heavenless and far. My heart wanted you there, but my mind never really cared.” I write almost every day and over the past few years I have kept a lot of it to myself. I am getting to a place where that will completely change. This is the...
