Keeping here,painted in smears,letting goof teardrops from a moonwhose face is that of a silver trace,whose presence waitsfor another night, seeing me, unanswered. Broken song.A wail from a throat,and in the reiterating of speech, I repeat what I thoughtwas never said, was never repeated, was never saidwhen we were never wed. It was said,a long…

Dressed in finalityfor this occasion,burning imagesonto sand,returning grainsto the spotwe knew to meet. Answer to rainfall,prayed for to remakethe ocean we onceforgot to navigate. I’m rememberinghow we danced,letting our trails glide,mirroring the mist. Over long lines,for anchors,named your legs,I’m rushing to taketo the waythat I can stand,after eyesight lands. Light won’t betraywhat we undofrom our…

Deprived, into believinga shield carriesyour discolored palette. Sunlight reins insmall specks of hope,telling you to dropwhat you’re holding out. It is your effortto begfor what refuses to beup front with you,to perceive your flawsfor you. No one shouldstand your groundfor you,while you weigh downtheir strength,even as a ghost.

Into burning brush,gnarled wood,faces that will neverremember yours. The smoke has moreof your reflectionthan the mirrors. Count the days,until your agonycan’t be higher.

There’s one holefor a single key.You won’t wake upto the soundsof thunder,choosing to dreamto find your way. The path is just a trickle,if you can follow.It won’t mislead you,because it’s a routewith no end. Your state, like this,will keep you crippledagainst hope,choosing enduranceover strength.

When we checkif there’s a pulse,we might acton impulse,or we can,as we should,tend to the lighton our shoulders. It’s been dancingto branch its streamsof naked goldover our bodies. It’s been taking noticeto two heartscombined to be heardfrom delicate whispers. We’ve been survivingon an ailing stalemate,finding defeatbeyond mere corners,behind an infinite numbersof sprawling walls. Our blooming…

A space to crawl,a room to be,far from where sympathysheds its momentaryresidue. From you,you drop all anchors,letting looseall manner of Hellyou’ve raised. A lie is your vowto deplete you intoforced safety. A dream is your realitywhere you fall upto be lost in clouds. It’s an instinct,born from fear’s release,to be concealedin earthen corners. Your deathis…

Shed dropletsfrom an interiorfirestorm,watching for whoevermight come too closeto see whathas been dissolving. Through fear,you’ve burnedwhat must be droppedinto an abyss,into an earthen shelterfor a kiss. With no starlight,without youcoming out at night,you are screamingalways inside.

Melt a frozen riverto let in another floating wordto boil you from inside. You won’t changewhen winter wanders byto bring downyour rising flame. It’s all smokewithout mirrors.You’ve gone blindto sensation.Where wounds exist,you rewrite themwith premature scars. Your breath could bea bold silver,if you could be stillto see your paceon its retreatinto blurred recognition. What you…

Carried as petalsover vast contentsfrom our melting eyes,we’ve been thinkingover unsealed hearts,trapped insideeach other’s Hell. Heated tideshave been waking uswithin the night,for us to hold handswith our fever,within our frightextending forever. It’s a cursewe continue to lead,with the lightfrom our golden eyes.

You’re sharing sideswith the last biteof your conformity. You’re losing light,dreaming during dayfor the nightto welcome you backto count breaths. You see thunderwhere there shouldbe a guiding sunrise. You sense a stormon the approach,while you’re walkingover those tracksfrom behind. Take your pale extensionto impale it uponheaps of snow.

Our reflections,buried in shallows,along with our thoughtsburied into the mireof yesterday. To filter throughthe crackling soundsof shattered voices,of what goes oninside its blueblessings. To burn insideall we’re hoping for,surviving on the rightto seek shelterfrom the rain,in the night. It’s the mostwe can fathom,while we’re deprivedof our endearments,of our imminence. To tempt the sunto replace the…
