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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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