Steamy Lust
Damp fingers on raw mirrors
dewy body meeting needs
sodden edges of lust
drops of drained abundance
contortionists in washed sky
puddle of flipped throwbacks
tides of ecstasy overflowing
wants watered by nectar
showers of soaked release
drenched by your touch
drained by the moisture
of my soggy limbs
struggling for dripping air
saturated embers, wicks
searching for last breath
vapors of my soul.
Tan & Silver
Tan for the color of dirt,
soil fertilized to grow food,
on this fertile earth.
The same type of soil,
man came from,
starting with Adam.
Silver,
the moon's afterglow,
the light of stars shining down,
gives a sense of calm,
tranquility.
Together,
earth and the heavens,
one to the other,
just as it should be.
Perfection.
numb
.
im numb at first
i dont feel it
as it caresses my skin
i push it further
blindly
..
then the pain
draped over me
like an oversized blanket
dragging me
drowning me
...
i can feel
as it rushes out
like a waterfall
of everlasting doom
pain i cannot describe
....
but in a way
i am still numb
i cannot feel it
i just push it in further
.....
i cannot feel
my heart breaking
into a million pieces
because how can i
when its ~ numb ~
from all these years of pain...
Swallowed Up
I fade into background,
little drops of molten ash,
timid roots tunneling
in tangled webs
trapping my feet.
I feel red ants
crawling in my lungs.
Flawed words tumble
into my belly,
struggling
to let my panic
escape,
wrapped in feelings
of being born
upside down.
Hidden between walls
I shrink
into black ocean
of shyness.
Illusions
I am imagination
blazing flashes of imaged light
soul caught on fire
silence in hush of day
discreet gentle feet
I am imagination
framing your love
reaching for our yesterdays
closed eyes seeking hope
past unfolding into butterflies
I am imagination
upside down reality
daisies of your smile
flight through winged sky
garments of pink sand
I am imagination
surreal dreams with no limits
shadows of infinity clinging
drops of clear water on tongue
holding hands of summer hues
I am imagination
wild with infatuation
throbbing with need
tasting the sweetness
guided by pale moon
But are you just my imagination?
Erupt.
You really don’t know
That they matter
Until there's no they
Until it's just you
The good days are gone
And we're back
To the boring everyday
The same old depressing routine
The meaningless smiles
That fill your days
Giving you
A false sense
Of hope
Thinking you can make it
Thinking you can get through this
And thinking you can live without them
But deep down you know you can't
And when the realisation hits you
It hits like a volcano erupting
Splitting your world right in the middle
Sending everything into chaos
Destroying neighbouring towns
But once it passes
It only makes you stronger
All the experience and knowledge
Building your foundation stronger
Thinking you'll be prepared for the next one
Thinking it'll never happen again…
…but you never know when it can strike
Can You?
Can you see me?
I'm standing here
Right beside you
Laying flowers down on you.
Can you see me?
Kneeling down on the ground
Because I really need to see you.
See you just one last time.
Can you see me?
With tears streaming down my face.
Landing on your cold bed.
They disappear faster than they appeared.
Can you see me?
When I leave you.
Because I feel you with me.
I feel you in everything I do.
Can you hear me?
Whispering beside you.
Of all the secrets we shared.
I promise I didn't tell anyone else.
Can you hear me?
I'm shouting your name out
But there's no response.
My hoarse voice echoing in this hell.
Can you hear me?
From all the way down there.
Far below the ground.
In your bed, where you will rest forever now.
Can you hear me?
Because I'm crying out
All the things I should've said before.
That I love you.
I miss you.
I can't live without you.
I can't do this.
Can you?
