Claws of Love, Kiss of Death
Hand reach into my throat,
clawing their way to my heart.
Red blooms under their attention,
as they slither through this maze
of veins and vessels.
Slick hands grab ahold of my still heart,
squeezing it manually.
Once, twice, thrice,
a soothing rhythm in a space,
long devoid of music.
Yet, no amount of squeezing
is enough to make my heart start beating.
No amoun...

About Love And All It Is Not
Love is,
replacing the soothing touch of water
with the burn of swirling red.
Love is,
broken glass on the ground,
not being able to differentiate red from red.
Love is,
freely seeking comfort in another’s bed,
knowing your own will be empty anyway.
Love is,
conceiving a child,
in the hopes it will turn your lives around.
Love is,
heated argu...

To Love A Fire (Is To Burn Brightly By Its Side)
The crackling of the fire lures me closer.
Meat sizzles and shrinks under the sheer heat of it.
A fire full of fury, hissing and spitting,
at anyone who dares to move closer.
It attacks my senses; the smell of burning flesh, the feel of warmth.
I can’t move away.
I’m enchanted, trapped, devoted,
to keeping the flames flickering.
To feel its warmth infiltrating my ...

To Love Is To Die
A love so fierce,
has taken ahold of me,
that ‘I’ is no more.
My form, my soul,
is now entangled with hers.
Where do I end and where does she begin?
I now only exist,
as an extension of her.
When my name leaves mouths,
I pray for it to always
be accompanied by hers.
Whenever she is in my vicinity,
it feels as if I could ascend into infinity.
To love her,

Whispers From Death
Dew-covered grass
covers my naked skin.
Flowers sprout
from where I have been.
Day and Night
hastily clock in.
Running to their positions,
preparing their respective scene.
Not that I can see.
The layer of dirt that separates
from what is and has been,
no longer that thin.
Breathe Death in,
for it is I who nurtures the earth
who give...

Your Unknown Friend
There's so much sadness
Stored in your body.
Too much sorrow
For such a little
Body to try
To contain.
It flows out of you.
Out of your nose,
Your eyes
Your throath.
Sadness paints
The canvas of your face.
I am a spectator,
Unable to change.
I watch and feel,
Tender brushstrokes
on my skin.
Mirroring the image
Laid before me.
Am I not you?
Are we not each other?

Love Is A Violence
And if you must pierce my heart
With a dagger so sharp,
Caress with it my cheek
After you've retrieved it.
Paint my face soft,
With the violence of your love.
It is for you who my heart beats for,
Thus it is by your hands that it should stop.
May the wind blow you
My final breath to.

Hearts Of Hers
Heart of mine
Won't you stand at my side?
Stop your traitorous speeding,
So that my cheeks may stop heating.
What is it about her,
That her whole being allures
What is it about her,
That has me needing more
She,
Who gazes at me as if I
Am the one who in the east rises
She,
Who sees me wholly,
Not for who I pretend to be.
She,
Who has replaced my blood,
as my life's elixer,

Nature's Wedding
Let the melodious song
of the numerous creatures
that reside here with us along,
in the lands and the skies
guide our light feet.
Step forward,
and bathe in the light of the sun.
As she blesses our love
and ignites our skins and soul.
In this bittersweet moment,
tinged sour by all that could have been,
should have been ours,
let us surrender our hearts

Love's Servant
As I was laying in the desert,
I desperately longed for the sea
and its waves to crash over me.
How could it slip over my head
that water can dry one out too?
There in the desert,
my throat was empty.
Constricting and relaxing around nothing.
Desperately trying to salvage
the little droplets of water,
it could claw out of my mouth
to satisfy my needy self.

Bitter Beer
I used to utter your name delicately
like it was poetry.
Just as how perfume lingers on a person,
The sweet smell of cherry blossoms
accompanied your name
whenever it walked out my mouth.
But now all it leaves,
Is a taste so foul.
Your love was like alcohol to me,
It left me feeling euphoric at first,
But after the effect had worn out,
All I was left with w...

Words Hidden Beneath Ink
A delicate touch on my skin.
How long has it been
since someone softly caressed me?
A touch so unknown,
yet Comfort finds their home.
As you trace the ink on my skin,
your eyes rake down my body,
drinking all of me in,
as if you have not drunk a drop of water
for as long as you’ve been.
Your fingers on me,
feel like the first sunbeams that grace a leaf,
after a...

Sweet Sorrow
I will hurt you,
Just as you will hurt me.
Isn't that beautiful?
To hurt
And be hurt.
To love
And be loved.
Isn't loving someone,
Sentencing yourself to pain?
Then, why pray,
Do all still love?
To hurt and be hurt,
Is to love and be loved.
I long for you to hurt me,
So I don't doubt my love for you.
I long for me to hurt you,
So I don't doubt your lo...

Waiting For My Nobody
Tired souls sigh together,
lovers have given up on getting better,
but I will continue to stay with the withered tree until the end of times.
We have exchanged the word 'forever'
and thus I will patiently wait untill we are back together.
I will wait for you, my Nobody,
until my body cannot anymore.
Until my body decays
and my bones slip into Mother's embrace.
Even then...

I Love Myself (Unfortunately)
I love myself.
Not in the way one would think.
I truly am in love with myself.
For there is no one in this whole wide world
That could understand me,
See me,
Hear me,
Apart from me.
Therefore it is only myself that I can love
And it is only myself that can love I,
Whose song differs from the other whales.
I love myself.
Not out of free will,
But out of...

Deadly Devotion
There is no such thing as a river wide enough
to keep me from reaching you.
If there is no boat available,
I'll simply swim the whole distance for you.
Even if I get swept away by the current,
I will make sure my body reaches you at least.

Short Circuit
I thought you were my diode
and that you only conducted towards me,
but you started flowing the other way
forgetting all about me.
So here I am now,
waiting until this short circuit will be over.
Will it ever be over?

Return To Me
Cold and dark
here I lay
waiting for you at bay.
The orange pearl is sinking into the seas.
Thousands of sand grains surround me,
yet I still feel so lonely.
I have given my heart to you
and now it’s sinking slowly in the seas.
I will wait for eternity
may the seas direct you back to me.
