As we sleepAmong broken clocks,Haunting usWith the same shields,To their handsTo never touch anotherPetal of ash. You layWith all your fervor,Taken from the sun.You stayWith eyes that have seenEverything in-between,I have yet to condemn. You belongAmong the wash againstYour form and scars.You remain to tugThe rope around your neck,With all safetyFor your eyes to trek.…

However we are,Weeping beneath stars?Holding how fragileOur tongues have crossedOn the kissEveryone missed. How the climbTo leave, what is kept behind,Made us more apartThan ever the seeds kept spreadingFor the lucid sakeOf dreamlike discovery. We’ll lift,Same as we’ll driftWith oceans torn apart,For the lands to contain belittlementFor the triumphOf nothing saved, for the glance. We’ll…

Here sheExposes herself,In the blandest stateFor the moon’s epiphany. Wandering shallows,Hell-born streamsIn the violet,Through the waters, collectedAt her anchoring ankles. Spot the wavesCrashing from debris,Within the bloodied sea. Beauty seizes her,Widens herTo depth’s everlasting. Wearing the crown,Concealing the frownAs the monarch of doom,Weeping throughThe midnight,In shadowed rooms. A crown of dismayTo remind her towards the…

FormlessFor each shredded pieceOf uncaressed flesh,To waitOn the other side of an edge,Bleeding throughEnvisioned, frosted gates,While eyesSend bewitching signalsTo ships, on their turnPast the blood. A face of reconciliaton,GrowingEmbers, on the edge of eyelids,While waves caressEach carried form,From the shore. All broken stemsKneel too heavy.All petalsFall too readily. To traceA signal, within the spaceOne form…

Collect me, Or, correct me, While winter freezes the season Into an autumnal summer. Petals fall with the rain, As life grows In the stain, From wilted irises Cast down Towards ever-wandering Feet.

For her, with ease toEach fallen leaf with dew.About her, to the smileEach thorn grows,For the while.A grace among allEmptied space,A life,Stolen awayAt the blinkOf strife. She weepsEach fragile star,Singing through parted lips,While the wavesBreak upon her scars. Guilt runs inside,White, within tides,While petals smolderIn gray fields, uncovered.Walking past sunsetsTo the storm,Where skies undress,Un-shieldsItself,From all…
-
Live,Breathe,And do not leave,While the waters still wash usIn perplexing floods.No comprehensionFor the sadness,As tears begin to drizzleFrom Heaven,In its dust and clouds. Walk withinThe curtains that cover us.Idle, in our travesties,While blue is the storm,As redIs the deliverance,As we wield the thornSpeaking through vessels. ContoursAre the lines we’ve drawnFor our forms, in the earth.We…

Within,And then withoutWhile the moon heavesIts division of faces,Across wasted edges. Smiling had not matteredWhile the winds were scattered,While heartbeats had skippedUpon lakes of shallow iron. A forlorn place,A shieldThat took up the traceUpon the field.A moon without its haloed rise,While Saturn fellTo its knees. A ring to the return of a will,While Death had…

And I would,Without audible whisperLay withinThe storm you have bandagedInsideYourself, heartfelt. Blood flows,Mornings goOn towards the secretive sunset,As I first thought themTo be imagined,BehindIn one crystallized mind. Facing you,Beneath,For I am no man,As ever a childCould reverse a trainUpon stillness, laid in life. Porcelain arms,A mouth washed with crimson.Scenery to a face,Traced with sublime contoursAs…

Curtains and flames,Hauntings amongBrittle blame,While the fog settles acrossHer crying eyes.To the truthFor her spark,With loveBroken upon the sightOf angels,From above. Slender touch,Feeble,Yet transparentWithin the lakes she’s created,Burning in the sunsetTo her heart. Light uponThe swiftest surenderFor love’s holiest seed.Calming herIn sickness’s storyBy the pages of twisted plots,Broken spines. NothingTo rake of the leavesDropped from…

With eyesSleeping through the cure,Simple in death,WateredIn the blur.All else stirs,Elswhere, in the breeze,Simple motionsFor fertile boughs,Wasting seeds. Your death,To beWithout breath.Your eyesHave seen my flame,Have caughtThe fires,In the lane. Splended rush,Pebbles caught in the hair,Termites eatOnce-tempting structure. Once lostIn your air,Beneath your breath,Sweet with the sunrise. Collected rubble,Finding a heartAmidThe stain of graveyards,Where love…

Here’s to shame,Pacing with the blame,Weeping a songWith nowhere to belong.Waiting with eyes, wide open,And breathingBeneath the ocean. Meander throughThe still rush,Within. Waking To discoverSnowfall, in the soul. To signA name, with white-outUpon the heartThrough reverberation,Wasting yearsBeside the fears. Here’s to the breath,The blameness,ShamenessSuffering. Here’s to grace,To a placeLife will swallow the cureLove holds out.
