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…

Like autumn’s children,we were scattered,brought to lifethrough weeping eyes,not quiet goodbyes. We fell to wantto be raised,to cross riversformed from bloodwe both shed. We took holdof offered hands,loosening a cryfrom open lipsthat cannot speak. For feelings to burn,changing from ivoryto a spectrum’s collection. We’re splashedwith a wave of colors,rejoining on the same side. Onto vast…

It comes along,once buriedfor the ride,to be lifted abovethe longest silence. A vessel caughta reflecting puddle,an honest imageof someone,holding onto lifeat the edgesof ripples. A collection of wordskept in a cage,locked inside a heartthat would beatjust for one more mileto be counted,to be bled. There are assurancesto keep safe,when the unearthed curebecomes common light. There’s…

Unfoldinglike blank pages,stirring during nightswhen forgivenessis just as colorless. Imagining a seato walk the miles,to not sink beneathlingering thoughts. Bound by beliefsthat hurt morethan what I can still see. Burned by what Ican still retrieve,even when I slumberunder falling rain. It’s all a battlefieldwhere stories are retold,fortunes are abandonedamong rotting flesh. I have come,crawling with a…

Fragile partsbound without muchto provide purpose,to stick loyaltyto its desired shape. Fractures are an invitebecoming you to fallover that cliff,for you to plungeyour heartinto your mind. You never seeall that happensbehind you,where nighttimethrives on broken seams,distorted dreams. Fatal departure,one after another,loosens your sanitythrough its cure. You return,covered in tears,smothered in the safetythat darkness hears. One…

Hope stirsin who you’ve seen,lacking their imagerythat the world treatsas invisible children,dressed in white. To you,they’ve surrendered,just as youenter their sceneryto fill their riverswith contentsfrom broken dams. You’re weepingtheir overdue tears,raining through their rest,or when they’re awareof their breath. You’re their piecesto rebuild,with hands that bleed,with a face that smilesfor someone unseen. But what you…

There are scars,the evidence of usfalling apart. There are pieces,leftover from whenwe wanted this. We were buriedunder repeated words,unending rain,our excuses to separatethat first kissfrom the final twist. We were too securein our wounds,idling while we bledto see if our bodies,at their melting point,can be a guide. What falls from Heavenis a slice of ourunkind…

Once deprivedof what there isto redo. Once survived,only with brittle flakesin your grasp. It’s that momentto rethink illusions,to untiethe paralysesfrom heartstrings. Come quietthrough the thunder,dropping wallsthat kept you crawlingalways under. Come abovewhere sunlight flourishes,where angel wingsrain down seedsto swell the spring. Homebound,where streams are fabricfor your isolated,vulnerable shell,you’ll be redeemedright on time.

Trapped in somethingmore spontaneous,than what endedin heartbeatsafter a heartbeat. Fingers tremble,a face swellsinto a state of symphonywhere sadness eliminatesbetter execution. I’m become eclipsedfrom a strange placeto a stranger world. I’ve become entangledin bedsheets,stained in claw marks. Having to burywhat I can’t bring upwith words that sputteras leftover fuelfor a life that resistsinspection. Under an oceanic…

Present those eyesglowing from starlight,drowning inthermal remorse,celestial anticipationfrom the anchorsyou’ve had to drop. Tears fall downlike weightsfrom slumped shoulders.A cradle for your heart,an age for your daymoves youwith your debris. Over earthen waters.Beneath, where a signalflashes for the faceof an incomplete lifetime,you are hurting. Beyond these limits.A horizon burnsan angelic serenityfor your commitmentto a long…

Above ashes,we return to form,bathing in colorswe forgot. Our kisses,always deepfor our hearts,always simplethe moment we softenour hold on its strings. Safe in connection,letting waters we oncecalled an enemypass our standing presence. There’s something eternalabout what we deliverto our bodies,from our dreams. Burdens run byon their ephemeralcourse into a drain,unable tostop where our feetare concentrated.…

Tears can fallfor so longto fill up gapswe were to reign in,to hear our heartbeatsup close and personal. It’s a momentto decidewhat to reviseon a pagewhere we pledgeda storm to fill outall the spaces. A time has cometo rebuildon a drained sea,from a dried facewithout a traceof what once diedon the inside. Bringing the piecesto…

Weakening evidenceoften supportsyour lack of a trueexcuseto be there. Don’t apologizefor what hasended already. Don’t surviveon scraps,for you are morethan what will end upat the bottom. You’ve built this liewithout realizingthe meaningbehind your heartbeat. You’ve burned your bridgewithout knowingthat it was headingbeyond Heaven. Step backto see this disguiseyou have letbe the backwards approachto a golden…
