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…

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…

one
I should’ve known better when it was just one. A spare glance, a knight in shinning armor. You didn’t do it to set me free, you did it to trap me again. To hurdle me into a whirlwind of indecipherable messages, egotistical thoughts of love. I was with you when it died. When those lies took its…

kaleidoscope
It’s a shame that you don’t love me like I love you. A misfortune for me, it is, more than it is for you. I’ve chopped up my hair. Went two shades of blue and green, one crimson and grey, light petals of pink to detach myself from you. I have become broken down…

Poseidon’s Chair
I have been a prisoner A hostage making up eighty eight estates I am well aware of my state How you’ve chained me to this empyrean made a mockery of my fate You are a fickle god I don’t know if I would even call you one my…

House of The Sirens
The sirens are calling they are ringing and screeching piling on noises as they claw away at my soul I had not a day of peace they tormented me with beguiling chants lullabies meant to frazzle me It sent me on a haywire I could not sleep without hearing them feeling them…

The Rise of Éloa
I could have loved you through hell when that high water sprayed you crimson and black an open canvas for your panegyrical eyes fiendish smile Those hands turned me delirious into something wicked a wretched string of malus tied flush around your body I could make you crave that sin

seedless buds
I have been so empty nothing but a vessel a kettle for the pot Did I ever have you? A pot calling the kettle, he called me- frosted receptacles I am nothing but dust I never had you

captured-
You leave me miserable darling you have me grappling for air running ragged across floors I would have hoped to not feel to not love these tears that anger me Lord knows you could have loved anything if you it meant giving nothing You hurt me your words, they wound…

A White, White Butterfly
I dreamt of a butterfly once with white wings and a cheshire smile It beckoned me with slow flaps I could have saw each flutter It laid atop my shoulder with knowing eyes a forlorn smile and she said to me You wish to be free like I wish…

Poisoned Cadavers
It’s hard to greet you properly- when you won’t let me get the words out. Those invisible strings make it feel like my throat is wrapped tight. There are claws there, I can’t see them, but I can feel them digging into my gut. You won’t let me be free Why won’t you…

Lakmé, An Act in Four Parts
You are beautiful like melted wax a cream colored fluorescent that spills desire over my skin You tasted of jasmine tear dropped rosebuds I’d catch you by the tip of my tongue Lick drops of honeydew off of your skin you are an elixir on my tongue You…

Song Without Words
There are words in the wind little sonnets that I’ve made up just for you It carries my tune my remorse and if you were to listen hard enough you could feel how I yearn for you darling But that breeze flows past you it ruffles your hair kisses your cheeks…

as-is
Darling you propped my mouth open and fed me spoonfuls of saccharine lies My throat would close up around your deceit but I would have loved to see that spark once more Those obsidian eyes glowing red alight in your path for destruction Full blown twisted seduction you had made…

Requiem of Mephistopheles
I fear that the darkness might swallow me whole one day I watch those shadows gather in my room transpiring against that resplendent sheen I once held They glow with such an intensity Those demons have embers in their eyes sun rays in their talons goldmine incisors And I’m terrified…
