Eyes

blue eyes
Brown eyes said, " I want you, and I want you dead"
while blue eyes looked at the sky, and didn't say a word

Fall in love with a writer
You’ll live forever
Scrawls of all consuming love
Scattered around the house
The way your eyebrows furrow when you think
The way your hands always seem to find mine
Written in ink and pen,
Ink and pen
Desire inscribed in stone for all of time
Pour toujours

A 3 piece harmony line

A 3 piece harmony line
Except
I don’t feel so harmonious
To love two
Is a delicate obsession
One always getting left behind
Unequal distribution of affection
A high and a lower note robust with perfection
Them me, a c sharp
Rings out, alone and stark

unsweetened

Unsweetened
Just the way I like it
The bitter taste of your mouth keeps me from going sour
A negative comment every hour
Keeps me grounded
Stops my idle mind from making mistakes
My eyes open and I see you’re already awake
Eyes calculating, worried but sane
Unlike mine, only thinking with my left brain
You thinking with your right
Made up perfectly to balance each other out

the last time i saw you

The last time I saw you,
you were living off the moon
and over ripe peaches
The last time I saw you,
the mountains echoed
and the northern lights spelled out our names
The last time I saw you,
our hands were full
of each other
The last time I saw you,
I watered your dying flowers
The last time I saw you,
I knew it would be
our last

A modern love story

Loving you is like wrestling with the horns of a bull
A modern Hercules and Achelous love story
Sneaking up behind me and grabbing my neck
Bruises scattered across my body by your rough hands
All apologies, no action
A chain reaction of mistreatment
Always coming back to me, begging for more
Then hostility
Without showing responsibility

Eat

Eat
You are not an animal carcass
You are more than your bones
Flesh shall not rot of your being
You are soil
Bountiful and nutrient
Meant to sustain life
Grow
Grow violets in your belly making you full
swell and fill
like a tide you expand and then shrink
but you are a garden
grow
