POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Stand, Love, Fall
Airs cross peaks of goliath rock. Great ripples of slow unbreaking waves carry with them the somber songs of a barren voice.
A thousand stand.
A thousand fall.
Not one remembered.
Not one forgotten.
Breathless, time pulses the blood of withering hollows; a cataclysm heart.
A thousand stand.
A thousand fall.
Not one remembered.
Not one forgotten.
Breathless, time pulses the blood of withering hollows; a cataclysm heart.

Infinitum
A thousand forceful winds breath their fateful air deep into my lungs; in exhalation their dirt-anchored nails seize my throat from within. From without, I am collapsed. Sweet elision. Somber refuge. Find me in hollow torpor, my bed the slate unclean, unwelcome, undying.
Possess me. Pour into me the hatred of the universe and make me your profligate example; unto the world my name is chained and dragged through mire and mayhem. Mortem, post mortem, infinitum.
Molten chaos of ages and storms of hearts; hearts of rages and hate, hate and suffering. Bring daggers to my...

Devour
Do not covet me
I am no one
You are right, what I possess are gifts
They are
But these are not gifts for me
They are for you
Take them
Devour them
Devour me
I am no one
You are right, what I possess are gifts
They are
But these are not gifts for me
They are for you
Take them
Devour them
Devour me

Acquiesce
I am useless
I am no one
I give my soul to you
I pour my blood from my lips
My lips now a frigid spout
And you refuse my sustenance
my submission
my spirit
I am nothing
I am none
My love-lust means nothing to me
Take and have it
I cannot make a smile
Let me suffer for yours
I am dirt
I am dust
Eat me, bury your teeth in my skin
Take away my flesh
It is yours, I give it
Be happy where I...

You
Quiet misfortune
Give me your self
I will breathe my providence into you
Once and twice
I would give you my soul
Thrice
I would walk empty till death
For you to gasp just once the airs of passion
Wallow in yourself again
Blame me for your misery
Tell me what I’m given is taken
from others
from you
And believe it
Write me your antagonist, your bane
Read this as your truth and never doubt it
Never doubt yourself
I’ll be your enemy

For You
The rooftops will blacken our jeans
The sun will rise to warm our air…
I’ll love you
I will
I swear
The trains far away on the tracks will rumble and roar and we’ll wander together through the forests of ever, forever, we’ll hold our hearts and our hands together to take from each other the pains, and aches, and tears of our days; our sorrows, our fears, our doubts of our morrows; we’ll stand in the beaded grass of the morning lights to leave behind immortal nights.
And, I’ll love you
I will

Breath
I’m not so fragile
Lay bare my delicate wrappings
Carve me out to whisper
Notes into my cavern pipes
Sing my song for me but call it yours
My body your breath
My soul your step
Take me from myself
make me what you will
For I am nothing without you
Lay bare my delicate wrappings
Carve me out to whisper
Notes into my cavern pipes
Sing my song for me but call it yours
My body your breath
My soul your step
Take me from myself
make me what you will
For I am nothing without you
