• tear

      They love to tear you down try to strip you of your name because you are a gem to them   They are afraid of what you have accomplished your goals set in stone they envy you want to mock you   that is all they live for But you are what I live…

  • curves

      Bounded to the night by a flickering light one moonstruck hand pressed graciously to my breast while another one ticks me quite insane

  • efface

        I’ve gotten so used to missing you I don’t even cry anymore not a sound comes out when I think of you it is like you never once existed

  • savior

        I had a cry with the devil once his laughter resounded in my ears shrill screams of excitement at seeing my pity   I talked with him oh why your ears were closed I do not know   But he made farce antics out of my anguish talons threaded in my essence holding…

  • five

    It has been years, darling it has been lustrum. I have watched you- brittle and weak- an attachment to this life that I so often loathed. You have been drudged up from muck; on the verge of fatality. Yet there was a spark in you. An energy that was tied to this earth, and sweetheart…

  • dazed and

      Why can’t you love me as we were   blinding and beautiful with just a touch of madness   darling now I’m damaged

  • Pickpocketing danger

      The sunflowers have no smell to them this year- they reek of frost and desolation. Putrid yellow tendrils tangling with the Earth. I am waiting for them to ravish this planet. To bear destruction that they so often bring. Their demeanor gives one a sense of amour, flushed happiness hiding its true intent. I…

  • Worth The Weight of Gold

      The swing of her hips were like waves lapping away in the ocean   She walks as if the universe is held captive on her palm   Straight-backed like you’re impenetrable   Eyes violent- you’re too efficacious to waver   She traipsed across that pavement like she owned it   Concrete caved delicately beneath…

  • As I Lay….

        There are stars embedded into this ceiling. Dazzling shapes of pentagrams, just glowing and blooming, sculpted across that plaster. I used to lay in my bed dreaming of those speckles. I imagined that maybe if I could reach high enough, if I just grasp onto whatever edge I could touch, that I might…

  • sinewed attraction

      when I think of you I think of tulips   sunlight tinged with mirth I fancy you are a force greater than gravity

  • Ballad for Two

      I wake to your laughter; two wide smiles full of happiness. I wonder what I would do without them. If I never got to experience those two small bodies full of love. Completely unadulterated and gifted just for me. You two, who were woven from the traces of my soul. You two, who are…

  • Dark Devotion

      The air in my lungs leaves me in a clouded burst. White fog tinged with pain, bitter cold misery. It laps up this atmosphere and trickles back into my soul. I welcome it with reverence, knees clasped and hands grasping onto that solace. I feel free without it, feel like nothing without it. I…

  • reflections

      What do you call these showers when April passes. It rains here so much I’m afraid I’m stuck in that month. It mocks me, those cruel days snicker at my repetition. It turns on and off, off and on; rain casts drizzles that have no place to go. These waters flood my streams, their…

  • petiole

      I could close my eyes and remember how you looked placed against my sheets   All doused out in blush fluttering pulses blooming hearts   Your sighs a sirens song I would wrap you up with thrills of stings   Kiss you quite mad strike you with slow vile things

  • littering rays

        The moon is radiant tonight spilling ringlets of rays down I wonder if this is what they mean when they say the sky is alive
