I walk amongmiles of wilted brush,getting cut from thornswhere blood didn’t needto ever rush.I have been losing it,for the time whenI won’t be needing it.There’s this sandfalling throughoutstretched hands.There’s my fingertipsburning like the edgesof melting candles.Beyond the grave,I’ll find what Ifailed to save,forming warmth out ofa forgiving fire.It’ll melt the icethat wrapped this torn,shivering body.It’ll…

Caging in water.A phantasmal rushis the ghostyou feed with a fever,a cold-hearted exaggerationfor fewer thoughtsto consider.There’s blood,running far fromits enemybeing the floodwalled within.Can you correctyourself, within yourmaze of indecision?Tracks will soon beall that’s leftto remind youthere had been a road.Can you screamonce petals become dust,when your limbs turn to rust?You speak clearlywhen thunderstorms are loud,but…

Thick vaporexits from an open,eager pair of lips,for I’m holding onto what I brought inon its knees.Distortioncomes from the daysleft behind,left to drag ontheir stubborn presenceas phantoms.They’re in,until they’re outfrom ebonyto ivory.They’re floatingupon the same lanethat I’m walking.They’re disguisedin long trails of smoke,from burned pagesdetailing history’spained conclusions.I’m asking for a cureto keep sickness absent,if not…

Golden tongue,silver streamseluding starlightunder dreadful dreams.With more you reckon with,the more that you weepwith a pair of eyesshowing no mercy.For you to speakmeans to whisper,means to never changestories shared,skin flared.For you to be,without what weightpresses againstyour deformed heart,means to not.This worldis never to your likingwhile you’re rainingall the oceansof their waterthat cannot quench.Build your cityof…

You’ve been drenchingyour outstretched handsin damp soil,inside those spotsyou devote your toilto the stormsthat follow.For fallen rain,for crytallized leavesrozen without winterto leave its white,drawn-out immaculacyfor you to ruin.You transfer pain,from yesterday’s eveningfor tomorrow’s morningyou pledge safetyto sorrow.Lights on a roadgo out from your breathsexpelled from a pairof rotting lips.When will you fuelthe better heatfrom within…

Disappear throughripples upon twin curtains,entering death’scradling arms for yourtired head.For what else can I doto ease the sufferingprolonged pasttomorrow’s hope?A burning ropehas found its graspon one last breath,endangering a second.A final heartbeatreturns its echo,reminded meof how far you’ll goto live, to win.You can flywhen your wingsrepair from being clipped,entering a cold void,leaving me behindto figure…

There deepensthe depth, due toa lone tricklefrom two veins,from cold dropletssoaring from cuts,on purposeless smiles.I wait to know whywe had to surrenderto refuse lovefor its sacred remedyfor our tragic,persistent travesty.Life has been our sore,death has remainedour loudest calling.Darkness is nothingwhen through funerals,we’ve kept confiding.Needed burialfor brittle bones,once closed aroundtwo aching bodies.Now we’re trappedbecause of time’s…

Rain with mea blessing we bothcan retrievefrom its neutral status,with our devoted hearts,our stable hands.We can exhumewhat we repressed,delivering our petalsto open lips.We can dreamour oceans combined,bring in the wavesover naked shores.Light is notour devouring enemyas it restson our shoulders.We’ve suffered enoughto not wish to resistits teeming presence.Sickness is the flutterin our abdomens,the music that…

A punished simplicityfor being trueduring timeswhen a candlehad to die.I’m counting edgesI’ve brought infrom an oceanI’ve had to navigatebefore it was too lateto be reborn.Smiling without sincerityis the weight I releasedlike an anchorfrom a rotting ship,from a repeated,deserved nightmare.Deep in the sleepof reviewed heartbeats,I’m looking througha looking glass.I’m dreamingof what I’m conceivingwithout such a curseto…

Rowing through windsthat drive onward vesselsthat bleed heaviest.Growing among shapesshrinking in tensionsinto their first dimension.A line demandsa signature,a uniform commitment,a submission,not a rewriteto what didn’t exist.I cannot liewhile teardrops fallto meet solid earthwhere I burieda wounded heart.I cannot strivefor more this waywhile faces scorn me,under the sun.I cannot thrivethrough this thunderthat disconnectswhen it disappears.Autumn leaveshave…

Ten fingerscontinue their pushin their perspectiveof what’s warm,what fuels fireto keep burning.Two minds,two halves of a heartbound into unityoverlap into eternity.We’ve loved,starving for tomorrowto cure our sorrowinto poignancy.Raining tressesdecorate your art,your divine bodyas a sculpture of snow.Glimmering eyescapture all around us,send me an invitationto accept your song.I’ll drink your presencelike a wine,dancing to the tunepresenting…

Private contemplationof past exchanges,while a heart stays lostdown alleys,where a voice has costprecise deliberation.I forage formissing words,casting dark glancesonto highlighted,shifting spaces.I salvage shadowsfrom secretsonce hidden awayto never betraywhat I once sparked.There are onlyfaint twitches of life,frail whispersspeaking of howI’ve forsaken mercy.There is justthis time in denial,in loud defeat,in silent retreattoward the backwhere ashesare piled high.
