What was it, that let you loose Upon the stones, held on by the noose? Was it your simple yearning To see where the ocean travels? To see the startled birds, as you dove across To watch the tides pass by? I saw your lips smear the sand with scarlet, Though, I figured it to […]

She wore a white flag Pierced on her delicate bosom, For some man of surrender Annexed her form, during one dim night. She wore her eyes, Worn down to be discolored. She wore her cheeks, Swollen with the bruises of hands. She wore her lips, Always quivering beneath the moon. Most of all, She wore […]

Let us not simplify Her eyes, nor her mind When stared through, across the line. What a face! What a gentleness! What a love I hold for the new one, The beauty who was meant to be seen By no one, but me. Something rips through the miles, As it is my sight To the […]

From trumpet calls, To flaming walls, There are eyes upon debris Of a scattered woman. Her face empties my form, Her eyes empty my mind, Her love buries me behind, Lets me fall from the wind To see what I should have been. The meager man, with nothing to hand Of to the messenger, in […]

Death is a wide awakening To what I’ve missed, For something I’ve kissed, In a world I’ve wished To be something other than it is. My eyes see the wooden frame, The wooden lid, The wooden bottom, As I am Pinocchio with his nose in the soil, Merely the creation of a tree To speak […]

Let your tired eyes Swim down in my river of tears. I have cried this current for you, For your gaze to swim, beneath the sun. Will we, one day lie down To speak of the stars? Will we, one day seat ourselves Upon the thrones of Heaven? I want you, in arms that stretch […]

Hold a box upon, that presents my heart. Your tired form, a place to be believed, For I nest myself in you To hold hands with an angel. Though, your eyes Seem to see the universe for its darkness, Not for its belonging. While I hold hands With Lilith and her children, I notice eyes […]

In our kingdom, where we should have met, There are cruel faces, that have surely wept Many tears into the Earth. My love has given new birth To the ways of matrimony, In songs, like Heaven from her lips. Her beauty sunders across oceans, Thunders across the skies. She lets down her hair to the […]

When the tears rain down From eyes, beneath the crown, Is it sadness I see For the haze of symmetry? Your face is for a loving smile, Not for the grief, tracing the miles. Your form falls into contours, Entertains death on a whim, Leaves the world wide open Upon its own cross in the […]
