will it bloom this year?
One dandelion, two growing from that root, root planted right at your foot You receive three petals, four gobbling up stalks of stems- stem stalks shaped of hyacinth I was four- fed foul leaflets Spoonfuls of blushing yellows, blazing lilacs Consuming, it’s dissolving Seven shattered Oed’ und leer…

pendulum
You are not looking for me you keep me on just a tight enough leash to tug on it if you so please

learning the blues
I plucked one of your roses needle pricking my skin crimson just as red as those petals You told me It’s not time yet I wait for spring to come almost as much as you crave winter It’s in those moments that your heart grows warmer icicles latched to your skin…

Demeter’s Skies
It has stopped raining, but around us there’s thunderstorms and hail, and you- you are the holder of it all. You slip your lips against my own, dominating skies, controlling winds like you have strings attached to them. When we break away it’s with reluctance. A sliver of the sun showing through obsidian clouds, and…

bared luck
You couldn’t have taken my love not since it was given to you so you chose to strip me down instead You started with my eyes scratching them raw plucking skin between deft fingers My lips were next down the line of my nose a Cupid’s bow that made Eros hurl…

blanketed
Violin strings must have been embedded into your bones darling he could fine tune you better than any musician strip you down until nothing but raw strings were left just dust and termites leftover in your body

dangerous accomplices
It was thick passion blanketed over me and suffocating drowning- your hands smothering me with twisted words your lips strangling mine I tasted Hades on your tongue tendrils red like those eyes eyesEyes what a shame you should come to me when I need you the most

The Chase
Wicked wings slosh springs placing seeds into blossoms my sun turns to hell

Medusa’s Cry
Oed’ und leer das Meer Peach shaped drops talk about my life in tragedies turning me into a catastrophe You had multiple lovers yet you felt the need to devour me due to fair cheeks and pliant mounds You warped deity, you wrote sins across my skin carved salt and water…

terrors
It’s maddening the lengths I put away to give to you I gave you my soul I ripped out bits of my heart just to get it lodged into yours but you ignored it You ate those inklings of mass like it wasn’t anything to you

Barb-Wired Oracle
Don’t speak You would have thought he had barbed wire in his words- metallic lead in his throat. He could mutter words in a way to curse you, absolutely break you darling. You’re always speaking Your words shoot venom Keep them to yourself- Be a good girl You were so…

whirlpool
It’s funny isn’t it? The fire burning in our eyes, people’s eyes, and then at once that flame could go away. I once breathed in the fresh air that flowed through my hair, took in the smell of the deep aroma. Your shadow casting its own spell upon me. It reminded me of calla…

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…
