sole sinks
i find myself walking soft in your presence, my sole sinks like kisses and my eyes seem to touch without touching; love, i shall never speak again, the winds love free, every blade of grass twisting and sunbursts on water is so sweet; i am melting, gravity is my pull, i cannot stop the trembling…

blue butterfly
i had asked for you, love, like a child’s dream, a fairytale on the wings of a blue butterfly, i had asked for you, in those dreamy dust motes over my math notebook; i had asked for you through every breath taken, every tear shed, every inflicted pain; i had asked for you, and in…

images
the images have fallen silent, my body speaks what my voice could not, all the stories untold spills from my edges, i have been inked by silence, and sadly, silence is a language unseen; the void yawns, but it always speaks; it says…i am here, i am here, i am here—

sunstream
the house shutters it’s windows, the blinds are down, the doors closed, winter seeps in, frost glitters like something from the underworld, the flame has gone cold–blue and deep–no warmth but somehow luminous; i don’t understand it, i must follow it, love, i have not gone, but i must go, the moonlit path calls me;…

a thousand arms
the whole of me aches like a thousand arms had rained down on me ruthlessly in a single moment, my hands tremble, love, i have made a mistake—i have confused bruises for kisses, i can hear a lineage of cries in my sleep, of softness ripped through, her trail of tears seeping the earth, more…

labyrinth
the clock unwinds, i am lost in a labyrinth that pulls me from one blind end to another by the string that once tied us; these scents flash crisp apple, sun scorched pavements, and wet mud; i have unwrapped too much; love, these nerves are like live wires under my skin–i am reeling—

unbloom
if a blossom could unbloom, it would be my heart, shuttered; silence looms heavy, the earth cracked into an abyss that i know can never reseal again, my landscape has changed, love, the caverns echo your presence and it can’t hold you anymore; you whisper through like a faint wind; I wish you could spill…
-
absence
your trembling hand pulls the strings of my heart, so perfectly imperfect; each finger plucking gently speaks of heartbreak; dear, bleed your tormented soul into me, i could live on your pure yearning from absence forever,
-
a dream
in every dream between night and day, my eyes blink open and close to you, the edges of waking and sleep blurs, i am glazed, either side sings the same song, one filters through the moonlit meadows and one in lush spring valleys; you ask me to sharpen to one side, i can’t…i am bleeding…
-
vessel
unlock every bone from my socket, untwist every joint, and implode into my cavities; make a hollow vessel out of me, and blow through each crevice; sing me broken, sing me haunted, yearning; love, slurp through my marrows, don’t stop
