The memories dance behind my field of vision;

Old confronting new in an emotional collision.
Reminding myself to breathe
The psyche begging for reprieve.
Seeking the comfort of contemplative solitude.
My soul desperately needing to be renewed.

… I escape …

Walking the quiet streets along at night
Makes the burden on my heart less recondite.
Raindrops create ( Read more... )

A lonely droplet of liquid emotion
Gently rolling down a stone face
Eroding a small trail of burning remembrance
Why do these tears taste bitter?

.....Once had is lost.....

A storm of falling pain
Bathing in a dreary shade
Drowning in a self imposed imprisonment
Why do these tears taste bitter?

.....Once lost be forgotten.....

A void simply empty
So kept yet ( Read more... )

One moment of weakness
Disguising itself as strength
After all these years
Hi should just mean hello
No undertone of
I miss you
No sense if accomplishment 
That you smiled in my direction
So beautiful past
Stop creeping into my dreams
Knotting my thoughts with half forgotten memories
Because

.I was never anything that I seemed, not these soft words of coiling phrases,

not a poet or a girl or anything but light refracting in the near darkness
bending itself in inspection.
and I look at my illumination as if it where foreign,
for it stalks about me like tamed men trying to clasp my life
trying to cut all my fierceness in a blink.
but my heart ( Read more... )

 we were the sound of bone-built grief
slipping past the silence of our fracture.
A slow motion slaughter
mounting in the marrow of our debris.
And in a decay, my eyes became
cryptic keepers of our grave spun hymn.
For we delivered words still-born,
mouths muted pall bearers of their weight.
Black and white talk
with silent screams to match.
Cracked voices ( Read more... )

 i'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth with more weight than my own.
the easiest thing to do would be to let them cut the ropes
but i find myself still trying to negotiate with my teeth clenched,
and pain dragging me down.
i'm an honest lover and a faithful fighter
and winter is coming again.
i can taste blood on my tongue and feel skin starting to ( Read more... )

I have forgotten how to love you
so much so it leaves me wondering if i ever did
you have become this dream i am not even sure i had

like a splinter you have worked your way under my skin
and although it will hurt to remove you
the pain is not enough to let you stay buried there

not knowing how to keep something
is a good enough reason to let it go
I am ( Read more... )
