Words on your page
I wish on the stars in your eyes
Constellations of dreams
That cascade over a mind
I never found more
beautiful
I get lost listening to the faint whispers
of your heart that transcend to
screams at the tip of your pen
in the form of a rant
with all of the..
verbs of love and longing
Adverbs of passion and pain
Then...
Nouns of all the insignificant things
Confessions of desires
Hidden truths portrayed
In fiction.
Or a poem made of
all the darkness and light
You carry inside

Lingering
I don't sleep, I dream...
of rest, for your restless heart
Peace from the things that
haunt you in dreams ...
The ghost that touched your thoughts
And stayed there...
I linger...
From this slumber..
where I drifted from the first step
I ever took....
sleep walking to you..
Carrying this cross of guilt I bare..
For every pain ever inflicted
by the same ghost that haunts me too..
Whether spoken
or left unsaid.
you linger..
Tracing my foot steps
sleep walking...
back to...
of rest, for your restless heart
Peace from the things that
haunt you in dreams ...

Day dreaming
Sometimes I wonder how you taste. .
I look at the curves of your lips
Their fullness
The way they arch
Imagining them pressed against mine
Teasing myself in a thought
then..
I wonder what you smell like
The sweet aroma of my imagination
Taunts me in a day dream..
For a moment I close my eyes
And I can almost breathe you in
I can almost feel you
with me
The way I imagine tracing the contours
Of your face with my fingertips
My mind wanders to other
Parts of your body

Lost in the abyss
You were the sun..
warm, and vibrant
Your smile rose over the horizon
In all it's pastel hues of soft beauty
Inviting like the new dawn
You were the tree
that shade me
From the burn
Sheltering me
From the storm
Until it's eye
Consumed you
Summer fading quickly
to fall
like a gentle breeze
with sudden changes
The vibrancy of your leaves
Turning colors
with your heart
Green with jealousy
to golden gluttony
wanting more
Taking everything
Shifting to the
Black...

A dream of the wanderer
She said she lost herself somewhere in my thoughts.
I believe her because I found her there waiting for me..
In a dream
Sleep doesn't come easy anymore.
I'm not sure it ever will again.
I'm mostly silent these days..
And, I can't write like I use to.
"Why do you stay? "
"Why did you stay? "
Why does she stay? A question often pondered
I drink from the sadness of her tears
Not knowing the answer, myself.
I wander a labyrinth from heart to mind
Hanging by the last thread of my soul...
I believe her because I found her there waiting for me..
In a dream
Sleep doesn't come easy anymore.
I'm not sure it ever will again.
I'm mostly silent these days..
And, I can't write like I use to.
"Why do you stay? "

Shape shifting
My inner self is having an intimate affair with loathing tonight.
While misery loves company, sometimes it's better left alone.
To fade into the abstract
Away from the cares of the world.
Or lack thereof, rather.
But... I'd rather not
Sometimes, "I'm okay" is the biggest lie I tell myself.
After a while.... I start to believe it.
Until longing sets in again.
The drought in my heart leaves a sand paper film
over my tongue.
Leaving me at a loss for words.
Stranded at a street corner not sure which...
While misery loves company, sometimes it's better left alone.

Dreams of love and harmony
Hold me, not with your arms but with your heart
Embrace me there with every beat
Make your mind a bed for me to lay my head
So, that I may dream with you..
The way the sun, and moon rise and set
against one another in perfect harmony
Let me be your stars on a cloudy night..
Then you'll know I shine
Whether you see me or not.
As certain it is that this night will fade
Into the morning light..
When the sun moves over the horizon
My heart will be smiling
As if it's your warmth
Radiating against my face
The moon...
Embrace me there with every beat
Make your mind a bed for me to lay my head
So, that I may dream with you..
The way the sun, and moon rise and set
against one another in perfect harmony
Let me be your stars on a cloudy night..
Then you'll know I shine
Whether you see me or not.
As certain it is that this night will fade

Peel back the petals
Peel back the petals "she loves me"
Prick my finger on the thorns
"she loves me not"
Smell the aroma of lust
"she loves me"
Choke on the spite with a kiss
"she loves me not"
Peel back the petals
like lifting the veil
Reveal the smile that can break
A thousand hearts
While mine dies in my chest
every time she speaks
My soul possessed by her existence
I desperately crawl to her throne
Her gaze as dark as oblivion
Eyes that cast me to hell
Damned with this longing

The night apathy drowned
Do you want to be punished? " those words rang through my head like the chimes of bells at Christmas time. My heart pounded inside of my chest as I continued to look
down to the floor. "Look at me, girl. Do you want to be punished.?" her voice was louder now, and the bells inside my head drowned out the question. I began to drift
further within myself. I heard her command, yet my eyes remained fixated on the
floor, tracing the patterns of the carpet. Subconsciously counting every fiber.
There had to be a thousand threads in that one square beneath my feet that had ...

Silenced
Mind shattered...
A voice
silenced
She's lost
sight
of herself
words no longer
come to her
Writing doesn't do it
Anymore
Alone
she waits
Tears silently fall
From the valves
of her heart
Her eyes lie
like lovers do
As her lips
curl into a
smile
She's not broken yet
A voice
silenced
She's lost
sight
of herself
words no longer
come to her
Writing doesn't do it
Anymore
Alone
she waits
Tears silently fall
From the valves
of her heart
Her eyes lie
like lovers do
As her lips
curl into a
smile
She's not broken yet

Paper thin
I can feel my soul breaking
Under my skin
The ugliness leaks from
My eyes
Tears that fall
An uninvited guest
Overstaying it's welcome
Against my face
I need to feel something
Anything..
other than this
I hardened my heart
to spare myself
the misery
This paper bag
I carry
Bottom heavy
Weighs me down
As it slowly
tears away
More pieces of me
Scatter inside of me
Stone can't break so easily
Yet my essence is
Paper thin
