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…

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. Melting in winter,frozen during summerwas because you prayedto be left alone.…

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. Through sunsets,you’re losing waterat the world’s end,diving your timebetween blameand shame. Knowing this,these fracturesyou’re committed to,tells a storyyou want…

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. We’ve meant well,sticking close to hearwhat sudden changesin heartbeats could be. We’re locked…

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. You’ve long been alignedwith the sad natureof…

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…

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…
