They lied to me. They told me the embers were still hot, Hot enough to rekindle the flame that was once burning brightly. I am watching it wither, Not even a tendril of smoke to signal hope. I so desperately want to be warm.

To wish black eyes, deceived into perception Who haunts the void? Fantasmic figures of past linger Incomplete circles cup waking nightmares: Insomnia's footprints, Precursors to dam expression wells thought drought containing floods of denial. Tormented love, Why deny all comforts? Rest awaits; Assurance ahead

How can you die knowing I can't breathe
White blankets the sights around as if the color seeped into the cracks, the noise with it. Underneath the peaceful shielding, roots gather nutrients, awaiting warmer, welcoming days ahead. Soon, life will wind its way to the surface Peaking buds of what will flourish under rays. Now, muted movements remain. Voices carried by the air's stillness, Thoughts sent across continents of being bringing furnaces burning brightly within. The seasons urge to honor transitions; Fighting proven futile. As the degrees decrease And alignment glides into place, Never locking, yet protecting from intrusion nonetheless.

Winter (E)scape
Clutching so tightly the only thing I feel are the nails digging into my own palm. I can't remember what was once held gently, freely. Now the lightness feigns, and I doubt What was there in the first place, Air without movement. I would like to unfurl this fierce grasp, Remember the openness and movement of wave. Welcoming Let go, Look Ahead, Trust the movement.

Letting Go
HAUNT ME, you coward. The only way you can, from the outside. Maybe I will let you in, but on my terms preferably, through my legs. Possess me? You will fail, Like you did all those years ago. If you could not with the grip of your hands you sure as hell cannot here. I smell you lurking I recognize the chill on my neck I fantasize over the gaze I feel the pull towards past Presently, I do not see you, because I control my faculties And ghosts cannot touch me the warmth a new lover can.

A Ghost in a Warm Body
Tell me what to do next. let's unfurl this path, two lines already laid: One want. One Need. yet, hesitation... Wait you whisper in my ear, raising all fibers to ******** I can make the warmed engine purr. Your mind already figuring what your hands cannot, Cannot or will not Not yet... Don't stop patience or persistence to what end? Why do I react without any resistance? Succumb swallowed whole. One day... I mean it fill my head with daisies and kind words fantasies of nevermore. Never once with grounding, sweep the sentiments and me along with them into a beautiful pile of Naive hope and changed hair.

Tell Me
A little flame clinging to oxygen searching in the darkness casting shadows with every movement, but also lessening the emptiness. A little flame combusting with heat shining in the night illuminating the unknown with every movement, dancing with flare. A little flame bringing the lost to sight warming against the chill inviting comfort with every flicker of self. A little flame capable of dimming capable of strengthening. A little flame once, now a wildfire.

Little Flame
I'd like to live in your upturned smile, The one before the **** eating grin. Not the canyon I'd dive into when something finds its way to your core. The crescent that curves like a moon mostly hidden. The perch that promises knowledgeable delight. A secret broadly casted, only few honored to know. I memorize the ripples turned upright towards the sparkle amidst the window of oceans within, The gaps below pearls protecting the hum only depths withhold. Betwixt soft cushions of warmth and comfort That's where I'll rest to take upon the vastness of the unknown

Why are you such a ******* idiot? Daggers for eyes, We are meant to water the seeds not look in disbelief as streams pour from the windows, left open, always ajar always aware. Solstices bring new energies; Tread on the fallen yellow petals, Muster the strength to hunker down and say No. The floral killer, Why can't you bloom in darkness? Can't you grow from all this **** I dispose, burdens to strengthen those roots. Weights. See how strong you can be! What if I just want to open up? Show my face, bright and bold, even if my beginnings were some questionable soil. What if the only kiss I need is the accomplishment of a solar's flare for desire. Tell me do you fear the seasons as I do? Do you know I return again and again? Do you know I'm lonely! To love all parts of you, right? Not just the one who does not fight. It's like you hate me, It's like you don't know me and so You don't see me.

Dumb Love
They call me nymph They call me muse They call me lesser than a god, all while worshiping at my altar.
