blip
it was thinking everything is fine
abruptly running out of time
just to find out that it wasn’t
the world had already begun shifting
before the first blink or sharp inhale
bloody fingers grip the blade deeply impaled
all systems failed and wait for the flatline
the ringing drowns out any rational mind
every heartbeat given all counted for nothing
abruptly running out of time
just to find out that it wasn’t
the world had already begun shifting
before the first blink or sharp inhale
bloody fingers grip the blade deeply impaled
all systems failed and wait for the flatline
the ringing drowns out any rational mind
every heartbeat given all counted for nothing

crossroads
notifications like a wink in the dark
I keep a letter in the back of my bottom drawer
read every syllable of your elegant hand
twice over and I'll accept this friend request
could it be coincidence? are you who she sent
to meet me at the crossroads this time?
did just a thought of the past open the door?
the fear left and you stepped across the threshold
I know why I buried it
I never looked back over my shoulder
uncovered dirty truths within myself
now I can't help but to wonder
if all of that trauma was completely...

EROTIC POEM

prayer
until this ship is wrecked upon the shore
and the darkness sings me to sleep
I’ll keep searching for Eden
always searching for him
would he not long to feel my teeth
the same bite branding mark to my flesh
oh, but I would be so gentle with my love
caress him in the softness of my hips
just to feel his fist clench around my throat
unmerciful bliss withholding my breath
trembling limbs giving way to his filth
so the sea trickles out from within
molten to my core against warrior skin
I’d lick every inch...
and the darkness sings me to sleep
I’ll keep searching for Eden
always searching for him
would he not long to feel my teeth
the same bite branding mark to my flesh
oh, but I would be so gentle with my love
caress him in the softness of my hips
just to feel his fist clench around my throat
unmerciful bliss withholding my breath
trembling limbs giving way to his filth
so the sea trickles out from within
molten to my core against warrior skin
I’d lick every inch...

issues
when you call it’s so immediate
you want me wet and all I’m donning
is your fancy dress socks, my eyes crossed
you overwhelm me and I can’t get enough
I’m leaving bruises on my arms again
I don’t even care who sees me wearing them
does it make it worse if it’s intentional?
mutilation to release the emotional damage
would you even miss me?
I just want to feel relevant
I know something is missing
there’s an absence when you kiss me
breaking mirrors in my bathroom
exploding glass and perfume
try to focus on...

just for tonight
just for tonight lay here with me
and forget everything that lies beyond us
for what we have is to be lived for
before our heaven's impending expiration
there's nothing to stop the agony
no magic pills just amphetamines
how could I have an answer
when you say that you may take your life?
and if it's cancer
and it starts eating you from the inside
I don't have an answer
but I will hold you until you reach the other side
I don't know why this happens
when you were just starting to figure out
everything you...
and forget everything that lies beyond us
for what we have is to be lived for
before our heaven's impending expiration
there's nothing to stop the agony
no magic pills just amphetamines
how could I have an answer
when you say that you may take your life?
and if it's cancer
and it starts eating you from the inside
I don't have an answer
but I will hold you until you reach the other side
I don't know why this happens

tombs
so you want to play the victim?
that's funny because I memorized the book
I'll be your villain if it suits you
I gave you more than I ever took
you're a never ending wasteland
maybe that makes me a crook
to try to build a life beside you
when you like your home to be a tomb
and isn't that way
most people like to play?
wanting everything
then giving nothing
consternation when it fades away
and isn't that the way
I hurt myself today?
for my basic need
this hole inside of me
getting bigger when...

endgame
I can't keep letting your emotions impact mine
you hate that my shields are up all the time
I know that you think you are trying
I don't know how to help you anymore
but I've dived into the deepest hell
and I know how deeply you've met yourself
you can't give me what I need
long-suffering your lack of ambition
is so unfair to me, it is like pulling teeth
I've marked the path as far as I can see for you
and honestly that alone is too much
if you ever understand all I have done
emasculation has already doomed us...
you hate that my shields are up all the time
I know that you think you are trying
I don't know how to help you anymore
but I've dived into the deepest hell

is so unfair to me, it is like pulling teeth
I've marked the path as far as I can see for you
and honestly that alone is too much
if you ever understand all I have done

talk of time
if time could talk what could be said
for the emboldened changing of eras
a liquidation of dreams just watching
the golden frenzy of hands spinning on a dial
until the layers collapse to dust
will we have made our mark?
knowledge lies in the deaths of our ancestors
their memories spread over a starlight sea
if time were speaking would you hear it
only to walk away blindly from the whisper
ignoring the longing of ancient wisdom
dreamers beseeching a blossoming ear
there is an insufficiency of words to be placed
for...

legacy
go to sleep
little wonder
magic born
of my insides
in your dreams
I hope you wander
in fields of lilac
lullaby
make a wish
hold it so close
it clings to tears
when you cry
blessed be your life
my angel
I promise
I will never lie
silent stars fall
around your halo
you must have lost it
in the night
follow footsteps
from your window
dancing feet bare
beneath moonlight
hold me close
I won't let go
through brightest day
or blackest night ...
little wonder

unconditional
look at us
didn't they say we would never make it
caught me at the crux
of my shadows when the light was fading
I'm never enough
but you bring back what the tide was taking
I give you up
just to be swallowed by an unconditional...
(Promise me)
promise me this is not a dream
I'm beginning to believe
in this chemical between
you and me
(Is it love?)
Is it love? I've been a deceiver
blinded by a false reality
I give you up, but you come back to me
unconditionally
...

I Eat My Spaghetti With Chopsticks
I'm still learning
to love myself
the air tastes different
Mother moon can tell
stare into mirrors
bruises fade well
I know this face
I know I fell
gales of laughter
once an empty shell
I lie among ashes
and rebuild my health
stags in suburbs
please don't leave me now
I've only just discovered
what I've been without
wade in water
never by myself
I'm recalling signs
I put on a shelf
encourage my chaos
every facet counts

shut up
shut up, I know
I should be dancing on my own
manipulate
you know I'm afraid to be alone
I contemplate
the things I should already know
you yell, I plead
I find myself choking in your hold
it's about time you shut up
you're always picking me apart
just shut up
this game was built to break my heart
please shut up
I can't breathe when you torture me this way
What did you say?
your rigid frame betrays your lie
locked in your gaze
we're a burning fuse of dynamite
I can't recall ...
I should be dancing on my own
manipulate
you know I'm afraid to be alone
I contemplate
the things I should already know
you yell, I plead
I find myself choking in your hold
it's about time you shut up
you're always picking me apart
just shut up
this game was built to break my heart
please shut up
I can't breathe when you torture me this way
What did you say?
your rigid frame betrays your lie
locked in your gaze
we're a burning fuse of dynamite
