Love

You were hereto see me retreatback into fullest shadows,back into closets,warm as open arms.I let fallthat final tear,wiped a false smileinto an engrained,captured smear.I have whisperedwhat others can’t hear.I’ve walked ahead,while keeping neardeath’s consoling grip.While you were here,feeding me words,laced with fear,I bled between fingers,letting leakwhat formed bleak,barren darkness,at my feet.You were what ended,what I…

Space that surroundsour feet, upright in wherewe exist on these grounds,bleeding to raise whatlittle we can nurture.Life has been leftto be cared for,in our trembling hands.What will we be holdingshould love becomea washed off stain?You are here,smothering this worldwith a future’s scent.I am residing closeto places we’ve hurledto unknown infinity.I am facing whatwe will live…

He asked himself this question a hundred times. When he asked it, again, it wasn’t with any greater wonderment than when he asked it after the fiftieth time. This question, being, “Have I done the correct thing?” struggled to be given an answer. There had been no one else, besides himself, to hear these words…

Wandering vessel,searching for meaningfar from a distant heartbeat,far from the bitternessof blood, on parched lips.One time, she knelt in the sand,deprived of something to seewhen it sunk belowa bottomless horizon.That time, she called for meto return to her gnarled arms.There was nothing morefor me to place insidethat ice-cold flesh.There is everything morefor me to see,…

I’ve trapped usunder dark skies,knotting our darker,heavier sides,while kissing fingertips,lit, like candleflame.I’ve watched for tides,coming closer, as we weregoing under,embracing under aromatic,quenching caresses.Holding closeda once-wide open door,letting years slip byinto formless oblivion.Hushing mouths,rewriting vows, beginning tobreathe in what we cannot,though we will,drowning in every part ofour bottomless scenery.

Bring yourself forth,dragging your fears througha door I’ve held openfor light to leak intoyour parted mouth.Lips that have prayedfor one hellish eternitythat never signals awaythe pain, the reminderof how you’ve livedin these unanswered days.Dark curtains have dropped,closing a dream, in its final act,as an anchor has been tossedfrom a lingering vessel.I hope that all thiswill…

Imperfect momentwhen you walked onward,as I paced in a perfect circle.I ruminate on whatwe never were,losing track of time,never counting minutesthat past momentswill become.This divide, this roadhas been carved to go,with anguish in tow.This pain, these teardropswill create the craters,countless within coming yearsthat will not ever stop.What will youever begin to burn for?I was your…

Through those apertures,into voids where lost voicesconnect in the spaceswe were granted,but avoided.We left our footprintsto be kneaded,in an ocean of mud,remaining behind usto coax rainfall to erasethat which won’tfade in time.Raising the blue,through a tragic birthright,since love never signaled usthrough a storm,with a sound, a tremorfrom a heart, encasedin infinite grains.Our arms were alwaysmade…

Undress that whichcomes off, that rapidly.You share comfortwith a crowd, poisoned withfrenzied laughter,while I’ve tugged at yourform, to come closer.You’ve walked a lane,passing shadows that havedone everything to entertainall of your defeat.A breath will come loose,a teardrop will createa forgotten crater at your feet.In neglecting a wound,you bleed, you weepuntil history will closeat its final…

We traced the undertakingof our landing betweenthickening fog and a dream.We outlined our formsthat were held for a brief,burning heartbeat.We touched, while tighteningthe roots of our splendid souls,digging into a searing universe,desperate for a memory.Love trailed a fading shadowthat became all the darknessthat wrapped our brittle bodies.Collected, in the dark,while our faces joinedunder white flags.Inside,…

Distant heart,flooded world,I am a breath apartfrom the onewho keeps falling.You’ve sealed yourselfin dire protection,letting yourself bloomwith roots reaching upwards.You crave the clouds,when they willrush along your sceneryfrom racing storms.How you have blendedyour clasped hands,into unison.How you will alwaysrevive a slowing pulse,to repeat the tale.I cannot be your cure,though I will walk alongwith torn sails,blistered…

Angering a heartthat had salvaged your skies,where you were running to ruin,roaming through madness’s maze.You poured tearsthrough a white funnel,burning to bethat dismal kind of infamy.Ropes around your wrists,my tongue that has tastedyour welcomed resentment.I have been at your side,to see your clarified skiesbecome shadowedin your method to rectify.What have I ever doneto see you…
