To have loved how we loved

To have loved how we loved

 Eyes locked, skin tender

 

To have loved how we loved 

Hands clasped, lips traced 

 

To have loved how we loved 

Sea of brown, sea of blue 

 

To have loved how we loved 

Bodies ignited, spirits calm

 

To have loved how we loved 

Unsung harmony, fragile peace 

 

To have loved how we loved 

Hidden darkness, returning comfort...

You're a Big Girl

You're a big girl 

With every decision you make

You don't waver in front of people 

With the choices you've made 

You stand your ground 

With a smile or one turned upside down 

And you're outspoken when bystanders look away

Sugar, spice and everything nice 

Is not all what you're made of 

Your sweet and sourness gives you power 

That keeps you from going the wrong way

Heal my wounds

I pull the black dagger

From my heart

The weight of my armour

Now a fluid mercury 

Not a poison to me 

A release 

 

I steep to one knee

Chest free

A pour of soft gold down your slender arm

Sheds the silver mercury away 

Fills the wound that I 

Cast upon myself 

 

Your fingers brush me

As though they are lillies in my garden of Eden 

Lustful inhale of...

dear diary

dear diary,

I am 40. And Im just now starting to find my footing. or a new footing. there's so much change that it's difficult to tell. But, love always has been and always will be the main plot of my life's story. Sadly it seems, though, that no matter how ferverently I emote what love is to me; how deeply, purely, selflessly I love, I am met with an abundance of resistance and find myself los...

Hurricanes

Swirling thoughts

causing chaos in my head

Leaving destruction in its path

Debris consisting of my past 

Left scattered

Left broken

 

My head filled with TV-like static

Never staying on one show

Never giving me the time 

To appreciate the little things 

The plots

The characters

 

 

Somehow something calmed the storm

Someone 

Even if it's for a bri...

my eyes did give worship
to every hint of olive on his skin.
I whisper a Hail Mary

to the kiss of another bullet.

his armor, amatory.
mine, antiquated.

a pair of tangled beasts

Pain Relief

When will it go away?

 

The pain in my chest

 

Pain in my stomach

 

Pain. 

 

It’s repetitive and never stops

 

It creeps up on me like bugs

 

Stings like a wasp

 

Bites like a mosquito

 

And leaves, taking a small part of me

 

Some say it’s a part of life 

 

Maybe I don’t want that

 

If this is life 

 

Maybe I don’t want any p...

into my third eye
the inward perception
of crystalline tears
holding onto emotions
looking for one thing

Waxing Poetic

my love letter
stamped with a pair of pressed lips
licked,
then sealed with a kiss

the silent observer.
waiting for his moment
with the present

trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud
smothered in your undergarments

while fire from the two flames
arose
on a magic candle
over and over

like a brazier come undone

The Vacuum of Space

star dust -
quantum particles —

and, strings ...
from the fabric of the universe

ashes to ashes,
A bindi
black glasses,
fragmented obsidian
and, an asteroid belt

A Shero

hereafter she received
Saturn’s ring.

it is in the safety of the charred night,

that I observe myself

spilling from my lips

I thrust myself to the sky

Archer meets the Bull

to grieve is to know love intimately.

to pluck his voice from a crowd,
though I've not heard it in years.
to reminisce about my fingertips
reading his calloused hands like braille
and finding my next breath in every tactile.

to recognize any morsel of his being
in any dimension
and pledging patience to the search
in every lifetime.
to finding him.
and knowing he is ever present.

Delusion.

Delusion. 

When delusion wears of

and finally 

you see

what u didn’t want to

for so long 

that this person

isn’t the person 

saving you 

loving you 

the only person 

able to do that 

is you

Soulmates?

Soulmates. 

Do souls exist?

If they do 

I believe ours belong together.

I love u 

I know that know. 

Even after 5 years 

I still do

I will never stop.

I pray 

at night 

for this one moment 

this one second 

with you 

being able to tell you

how i feel. 

Then 

I couldn’t.

Last time I saw you

I nearly told you.

Back then 

I was with him.

Life.

Life.

Every day.

Is one day closer

to you 

not being anymore.

Being alive 

unsure 

questioning 

doubting.

Nothing is ultimate

besides 

this

moment. 

You can never go back 

you can wish for it 

everyday 

but you can’t 

and you never will.

My first time. 

It wasn’t special.

It was okay. 

That’s what I’m saying

everytime 

someone asks me.

I don’t want to say it

too long 

to realize.

You are the evil

You raped me.

too young.

My Words

My words emerge
from a desolate city 
that the kindly night welcomes
and in it they find their dwelling place

Words of enchantment 
never tire of sailing,
randomly searching for white clouds
or the fury of the sea

Words that beg spring
to bring peace instead of war
and write a song of forgiveness,
justice, freedom and most of all
an ode to love

Loose they go from flight to fligh...

Ancient Hearts

We are ancient hearts

A beat so strong

 

We are the petals of love

A touch so gentle 

 

We are the faintest shadows 

A dance so deft

 

We are the flicker of candles

A flame so gentle

 

We are the trace of embers

A light so dim 

 

We are one

A fate so destined

 

We are absent

A presence so cold

A tapestry of lives gone by

Rich threads from what we cry

Frays of the past evoking

Gaze of the future corrupting

 

My stream carries its fallen leaves

Its purpose only defined by what it receives

Broken mind and beaten guilt

A blackened soul only I have built

 

Tears like beads down a porcelain doll

She is there to no longer make me whole

The thrill of

And the earth rushing to meet my

anxious face

Much like you are

If the universe could

I'd wish to float

premortem

it's
fearful stutters
on lips with a lisp,
gaping wide open,
autopsy of the chest.

it's wretched.
and painstakingly
beautiful.

the fall

I am covered in
bruises.
i love them because
they are proof
of all the times i fell...
in love.
i am covered in
scars.
i love them because
they are proof
of all the times i thought i fell...
in love
but something else was there to catch me.
i have scraped knees
from being dragged
thru life by my heart
because it moves
quicker
than my feet.

stigma of a damselfly

the woodland hoarfrost dressing tendrils
 could no less love the light;
it is in this very conflict I find myself
in cavernous worship to both sides,
this delicate balance of paradox,
pirouetting on a sheet of glass,
untinged
by the busy of the world,
alive in its own concention.

death of a gorgon

so I become this wrought iron
that I have forged with my own two hands.
I sharpen myself,
tip to hilt.
but
my mouth,
the very blade that can cut the sky,
chose to speak in a healers' tone instead.
I remind myself
of the violence it took
to become 
this gentle.
this cup of earth in my hands,
with home beneath
my fingernails.
I remind myself
what it means to be
pierced to the marrow

Gobs on Sticks

“The pen is mightier than the sword”, it’s said,

But bitter and twisted gobs on sticks stir shit;

Mendacity’s their stock in trade; love’s bled

To death by sabre-rattling hypocrites.

people have tried to make me

gaps in my teeth.
gaps in between breaths.
air, just...

like colors on clothes

I'll Overcome the Oceans, Mountains, and Seas

 

I love the warmth of rain in summertime,

It's so nice and pleasant in any clime.

I love the golden autumn when it dances blues,

When I let my imagination loose.

I love the whiteness of the snow when winter comes,

I don't feel any cold when I am in your arms.

But when the blossom of the spring comes

I'll overcome the oceans, mountains, and seas

And on the wings of love,...
