What burns? What turns? A curve,leading me to hear these breaths.Another dive, from a wrongexit, upon this drive over a cliffthat held a waterfall, anyways, though any waywould have done well,if someone as familiarwarmed a drying emptiness. A curve. A swerve,drunk on being lost,content with all that can costthis heart, at another tossinto a fountain,a…

Half a dream come true,while in our sleep, we taste blue,we drink this ocean to bea desert, from its blanketing coloringto a place for burning sandinto mirrors, unending. What a time to run drysanity’s disembarking flow.What a time to abandon tearsupon miles of hourglass, a length of time to betied to that cruelest necessity.A love…

Our love, a stranded hope,a peddler’s pack of heirlooms,though music, for our needed journeyto enters our arms, under our faces,blanketed in destiny. Our breath, above this ocean,though most times we viewed sunsets,we were witnesses of bottles,holding unread messages, we were, what we could not find,lost under our own curtains,bathed in what we bled. As lost…

Hold her prayers close,like those embers she’s tossedupon bloodstained clotheslaid upon that floorlike strewn debris.What a face.

Lifelong to be white,in all her crude complexion –sobbing to a faint beatof her grieving heart. Shallowest marks…

Bring close those curtainsspattered with your ink,blotched with your soul, among allthat flooded you out from your eyes, leaving passagesdeserted in gray. Storms are your everything – even when given messages of comfort,a tempest remains that blacknessconnecting you back to nothingness. An emptiness swellsas an ocean surrenders,beneath these dimmed evenings,as you crawl, like all your…

Hollowed eyes, thin paper hearts.And what were you waiting for,under all that rubblebrought free from your mind?A lonesome answer,given, and then brought down to dust,while you cling to tragedies, maladies,a malignant purpose, a white-water dreamin this clogged void, where allhave called you,while you left. Screams still come, come fromyour nakedness in these coldesthours of you…

Down these stretches.Stretched upon your marksof infantile desertion, wateredin your birth of other,newer abandonment – one thatleaves you open for another, another dagger to fuelletters scrawled into desire,your pain in a rancid heart.

Wild change, summer’s pleato bring me aside,to space me apart from whenyou went by. You were those windsinvisible between fingers,arranged among a loose graspwith remembrance to what you woreupon nights of passion,heated to adore.

Each teardrop on a salted road,counted, as if to ice it will become.To an ocean – they were meant to be swallowed,among all pain that could not have beenthis weak, that hollow. Stains upon these hands,grafted, where all that had been heldhas been released onto endless lands. We are explored, you and I,to all brinks…

Wait, on your plastic road – roses are grown,temporary to being that concern for ephemeralunity. In your wanting death,wait under your labored breath,facing clouds, none too emptyto call a solid home. Face what soars, if foranother moment to envision birdswhile your wings are crippled into dust.I will not leave, in buildinga ring of eternal flame,circling…
