Dear stream-soaked love other, I find your flames to be hot and purging. Won’t you fan them at me again? Sink your fangs into my flesh and break that barrier I cling to so desperately. Break open the gate and flood my respite with turmoil. I truly am a coward, and need release from that…

The one about Falling
Iridescent sparks and brass knuckles. penny-pinchers with broken teeth. Are you still breaking hearts and eyes with your gauntlet-laden hand, You of the endless mystery. You are one too many and always so much and I can’t get enough. Rearranging sentences, knowing you will probably get what I mean. Not being afraid to talk about…
Alone
And I thought yesterday was the bad one- It’s strange, being told to leave someone alone. My instinct and gut reaction is to fight it, to push back, because that’s what people always tell me. “You didn’t seem to care” “You didn’t react to anything” Always about my lack of something, not doing enough. but…
Mis-
Under- stand- ing Why do you fight my eyes? They only seek to see your light as warm as it can be. chrysalis [bend and shatter that mirror we look upon] gossamer wings ripped by roots to ashes may again flutter in winds of Rath. as we fear their cry and endless night silver sliver…
SomethingNothing
Would it be so hard to be nothing again? Moon- struck and alone. I see cracks in the light and play that tune again. Its discordance echoes in my head and I feel the sway of the reeds. Say that phrase for me again, wash over my eyes with rose and yellow, so I may…
Deify
Gossamer Skin Plastic Eyes I couldn’t save anyone, not matter what I did. Eat my Sins, O Chilled Hemlock. Throw bones, before the wire passes through you. As Tragic Queens sit, Their throne built of half-tied lineage and ferocity unsullied. As Amorphous Masses scream for nothing and everything, though they are loved. As Growing Wolf,…
Tidings
again I am cresting something I don’t understand. The motions feel empty and I do too. Grab my hand and pull me back, The void is stronger than I thought. I joke about it, not knowing it was reeling me in. Its tendrils worming through every crack in my facade. Sucking the colour from my…
Probably about you
Lay your scythed blade across my neck again, inhale through your parted lips, prepare some words meant to sting. I have felt this before- That shiver down my back and through my fingertips. Their pulse wavering once more. Abide by the ancient laws. all’s fair in this as well, and I will not sit idly…
not about you
Devour a god steal more time this is not an end and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Faint
Faint Red eyed boy, Churning your endless wail, Cursing the machinations Crumbling around you. Wheeling your sorrows For all to see. “Sic semper tyrannis” You scream at those above. Not seeing the faces around you darken. Your crown of laurels and blood Cannot be so light, For so long.
