Break my heart and watch me rage

The beast within, I've kept her caged

Break my trust and fuel the fire

Never learn to love a liar

Break these bonds that we've made

Shattered love, let it fade

Break your skin to watch you bleed

Your pain sets my soul at ease

Break my chains and feed the beast

A graveyard call--this love's deceased.

I donʼt believe in hope anymore

I believe in reality

Why believe in something thatʼs never meant to be

I canʼt relive the hurt and the pain

I canʼt become that repeat offender with the same tragic end

I need to face reality, and reality is that it never begins

Wasting time, money, and energy on those who donʼt care to call for your name

I was proud to stop it all before it became

No, I wonʼt fall for it again

I tried…tried so hard to get back in again

Only to realize that this was fucking insane

Donʼt want to take that chance because thereʼs too much to lose, and so little to gain.

Come close to me

Lets rock slowly

Back and forth

Let the gentle breeze take us

Let the cool fall air bathe us

Until our eyes close

Nestled inside our arms

Gently connecting

As we take in the day

Taking in our love

Together as one

K.j.a (c) 2016

Hiding in the shadows.

I don’t move, I don’t breathe. I bring the rifle up;

The metal is smooth against my cheek as I line the crosshairs on the politican.

I tap, tap, tap the trigger. One more,

I pull the trigger.

The recoil hurts, but she falls, blood spurting.

willful prostitution

selling your body without pay

for the thrill of a quickly exiting feeling

just to prove you can

and that you're good enough

for the guy that doesn't smile at you

but your unclothed body.

Saturate me in poetry

During a Southern storm

Devour me with prophecies

Dripping from your lips

Roll me up with thunder

And slip me under your skull

Let me feast on your intellect

Thread me into your soul

Tomorrow I will come home from work and you will ask how was my day. Drawing near and laying my head on your shoulder, I will say one of two things:

1. Just another day.

or

2. I saw a blade of grass extruding its life force through a fissure between an impenetrable concrete wall and the grit of an endless city. I've been reflecting on this and I can't decide whether that fragile shoot was growing towards apotheosis or annihilation.

Mother jabali

breaks cover with her younglings. 

Flees across the road. 

The hungry hunter

eases his finger off the trigger. 

Whispers go in peace. 

i peel my lips off,

this kissing tool

hasn't been used for too long.

i turn to you,

wanting to tell you.

but i can't.

and so i silence my years

to the begging of your lips.

My siren song

a mist over the sea

of your gentle sand

Your fingers caress

in wave like rhythm

my temple core

Drift me back

to your shore

drown in your calm

surrender to your

depth

release the anchor

Eternal
