Dressed in finalityfor this occasion,burning imagesonto sand,returning grainsto the spotwe knew to meet. Answer to rainfall,prayed for to remakethe ocean we onceforgot to navigate. I’m rememberinghow we danced,letting our trails glide,mirroring the mist. Over long lines,for anchors,named your legs,I’m rushing to taketo the waythat I can stand,after eyesight lands. Light won’t betraywhat we undofrom our…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

Over again,calm waterslet us cross into a fieldwhere we raiseda rotting refugewith a loose knot,before a feverburned it down. We can’t keepcoming around,to keep tryingwhen our cold handsare alwayswet with tears. To keep breaking downtakes us pastour limits, more than once.We will neverbe able to see the sun,until that knotdivides intothe best of oursymmetry. Into…

I came here to repeat wordsfrom a voice that tells its soulful song,from a muted bird. I came hereto see what will nevercome back to me.Like springtime jealousiesmourning over lossesof unshaped emptiness,of a white canvas,of a tabula rasa gifting opportunityfor all enslaved colors. You are a body’s lengthburied, in soil, unevenwith the heartbeat of mine…

I live. Your streaming fingerstrace veins where should be scars,pass along scars where should beyour hollow kisses.I keep connecting youto those long pathwayswhere I deserted old photographs,where I left those notesthat described all your details.I want, though cannotbury you, again, in a heartmade to somehowkeep beating. You are cemented in corridors,added as each blockto build…

You hold candles to burn us toSpecks upon an aching shoulder.Why fall, when we knewTo give the ocean its space?One final teardrop breaks into cinders,With heat upon your form I trace.Walk back those eyesFrom afar, to bleeding arms. Do not stop sinkingEven when reaching the end of me.You were strong upon your own scenery.Never decide,…

You were not meant to beA god’s pet or a priest’s belief.You were meant to be rebornIn arms as broken as yours.Strained wrists, palms are torn,While waters exit from eyesTo see the same sort of skies. While the world uncoversShredded skin, dusted fleshBeneath sheets atop bed of death – Love reveals a grave realityThat nothing…

The ill times in whichAll wounds were unstitched.Unbound, to bring the sigh,Aimless as the goodbye,Wishful with the fateful declineIn life’s caretaking sunshine. We wished to keep travellingWithin overburdened arms.A caress to keep the sun up high,One kiss to hush the painful cry. We wept for all the brokenTimes we were unspoken. Failing to swim, apartFrom…

It is a pathwayUpon another, to a gatewayFor another, towards her arms.A challenge with no alarmWith the tears that runTo wake a man to the sun. Someone says to the final wordThat the shadows are all brokenWith the fade of her.A longing to a passage, a scripture,One fault, alone in the winter. One chance, to…
