Too determinedto never let go,to never become tiredof all I’d ever thought,when I had beenconvincing myselfof your place.You were a residentin a heart, now vacant,now wishing forthe lights to be onanother second longer.I’ve been smotheringthe most noticeablememories, the onesthat come acrossif to keep telling methat you’re listening.I’ve been hearingwhat keeps rushingin these veins.You are swimmingwithin…

Even while allfaded into distant chimes,these walls burnedinto the color of rust,I hanged closeas your final teardropto send you off.I made that journeyalong the lengthof your beautiful face.I carved out a salience,one for me to reach forin a cursed silence.A puddle made,storms are continuingtheir brutal batteringagainst eyes that neverwish to see what wasfatally severed.Dining alone,knowing…

I’ve been revolvingaround buildings,open doors,panicking while pacingin a room, covered in dust,covered in the filmthat capturedsome precious secondsI cannot remember.I run fingersthrough these pilesof soft ashes.I welcomewhatever lingers,melted into shadows.Who remains in me,speaking through a void?There, there was oncesome spark, some flame,a candle to guide mealong these lines.I am left withredrawing images,finding other avenuesto become…

I am outside,having followed youto be ceased, by yourshimmers, or yourcapturing shadows.It had to be either,when I came throughan unguarded gate.It couldn’t be neither,when I have arrivedto be remembered.Something lingers,as it never evaporates.It’s been broughtcloser, always insidethese imprisoning lungs.I am viewing you,as the sunlightdecorates your skin.I am rediscovering you,reminding me of my wayto bring you…

I let throughall that could evercome intothis bottomless,soundless nature.For I amnothing for it,weeping while Iclutch onto tangles.You were there,finding me, all the waywhere promiseswere as heavyas our storms.I wantedto keep thingsjust the waythey were meant tokeep fuelingstrength, to oursoaring pathway.I wanted our lipsto collide, like thunder,while we travelto the endsof this cursed earth.We were meant…

Leaving outside to drya world I thought was secure,even while its oceanswere formed out of blood,kept showing me answerswhile I kept turning backto the darkness.I was begged to plungeall these screams, all of thisI kept cradling at its neck.I wanted more from it,a life, melted like snow.I wanted what I could notfind enough strengthto leave…

Undercover, in thisflicker of pale flushes,where waters leakfrom outspread limbs.In here, I cankeep running fingersthrough ripplesin immaculate sheets,through tressesin warm weather.We are living in whatwe have crystallized,building togethertall towers, to seeall that will be betterfor our company.Love has crossed us,dreams have blessed us,while a wildernesswith all its sweet scentsis surrounding us.Overhead, a dropletof morning dewcomes…

It is looking likewe’ve been feeling forvenom, being injectedin long exits, we soarwhile skies turn purplewith fresh bruises.We are here, bleedinginto the world, drying ourlong, desperate eyeswith much earth,giving rebirthto an anger,to a fire.It is our place, to beall we cannot concede,while waters are risingwithin our stares,inside our hearts.Taking cover in thisshelter of shelters,being mere…

Breathless notes,softened heartbeats,craving nothing betterthan our turn,at the gates.We were rejectedfor what we didn’t sayto each other,after every daywe held backthe weather.We were selectedfor another storm,bleeding rainonto the other’sbruised skin.We were hiding it allfrom the open sun.We wanted a shortcutaround the stainswe believed that wewere able to cover.We wanted an escapeinto boundless love,while we deprivedour…

Drinking from thisdeep, and ever-deepeningglowing shape of oneforce of red,shelter of dread.I am replaced,as a reflection,one that swimsin venomous swirls.I cannot, but I willknow why I’ve liedto tomorrow’sracing heartbeat.A bottle holdsa silent message,one going blackwith the livesI never see.Silhouettes pass,under starsthat are ending upin their vapor.All eyes will seea man who cannot stand,not even as…

I’ve remained here,choosing what candlesdeserve their light,leaving faint tracesin their swirling form.Carve me a sentence,tell me a speechwhere death does notguide me to your spot.I’ll kiss your marble lips,revive a glimmerin a silenced heart.I’ll discard what meaningI’ve deceived myselfin ever having,when waters keptleaking from red,swollen eyes.If I might everhold your hand, again,I’ll play back your…

A nighttime skyhas been shelvingtearstained memories.Sleepless starskeep me visionless,unwind me intoone discerned setting.I keep pages near me,as I sleep, in the daywhere faintest echoespoint me in your way.Your face, your lipssurrounds me in shadows,while I lift you to the lightwhere lucid dreamsare never right.What wills meto keep coming backto your phantom shell?I await my own…
