last night i drank a bottle of wine
for no particular reason
other than i wanted it
i cried
i blame that on the wine
but maybe it was
something that i needed to do
i laughed
i blame that on the wine
as i hadn't laughed in awhile
or maybe it was the show i was watching

dream of birds flying through oceans
and of whales drifting through stars
go to surf alongside rainbows
cast a fishing net around mars
hold hands with your best friends
as you dance in the rain
swim down into cotton candy
watch the colors soak and stain
please sing songs about life
and play music too loud
let your mind forever wander
as imagination gathers round

Sitting in an airport terminal surrounded by faces
yet I am alone
My bright blue carry on is the only color in sight
Out the window, planes and boxes stack and line up. Soldiers marching.
In the window, there's a story.
One I can't tell but my reflection shouts
When I smile, she'll frown.
And as I fly off into the clouds
she'll be running and dragging behind
trying to catch up
Maybe if I fly high enough
Maybe if I fly fast enough
Maybe if I fly far enough
She won't catch up.

Your lips tasted like wine-
or at least I think
safe here at home-
or at least I think
Did we kiss?
I don't know?
Did he bite you?
I don't know?
Was there force?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Then what? What do you know? What did you see?
I saw the back of my eyelids. I saw the space between stars. All that I know is that I don't.

You are strong
You sat there broken
crying
staring
at a ***** habit
and you didn't indulge
You are strong

Tears shed
For a minute
Dropped to the floor
Flowers and thorns sprung from the tile
To wrap themselves around the door
Spread
Up
Down
Around
Thicker and thicker
Rebuilding a beautiful
Vibrant
Impenetrable
Wall
Try finding your way in now my dear

Bacardi took my place on your tongue
and you couldn't tell what tasted sweeter,
the liquor or my legs
you never knew what you wanted
even when i drew your name from your lips
with my mouth taking you in me
"pull my hair"
you obliged
with the curve of the moon tracing your face
the embers sparking between my thighs
don't deny you fed the flames
you pressed into my soul
pushing yourself in my ******
making me forget myself
i am a **** woman
the music is what owns me
but id gladly give you a piece.
as long as
you admit to the fear that shakes within your chest
i held you as something leaked from your eyes
"they're not tears" you laughed as you kissed my cheek
"its my allergies"
allergic to love?
no. allergic to nuts.
you begged me to let you love me
i scorned your adoring gazes-
"you're just a hot piece of ***
yet now i'm
the one at home wondering
i saw curls and curves that night
mixed with blue and red
you a somber purple
looking without seeing
i turned back to my one true love who has never betrayed me
treble and tequila
bass and lime
now i need to know what you crave
me or the darkness
night or light
you're the one holding the matches
yet
before fire could catch you, you started walking away
wholesome daylight hours were never in the stars when we always locked the door and shut our eyes
you complain you're cold in the shadows
yet hide from the sun
tell me you love me just one more time
not with words on your tongue but with teeth to my heart
ill tell self respect to go running
take me on your desk
study my anatomy
make believe we don't care so when our grand-kids ask about love
you glimpse the stars on my brow and your hand around my neck
but when you open your eyes you'll just smile at them sadly
i know you long to dream of nothing
to no longer have nightmares
it'd be easier not to feel, and to embrace the cold
you couldn't handle the heat you said as you batted the flames
but darling,
don't forget that ice burns too
you lie too easy
was your serpent tongue directed towards me?
or yourself
because you can't convince me to play the role of eve and then slip away
leaving me naked and vulnerable
don't worry there Adam
in the end i could never blame you for the pain
because its not your fault you didn't know yourself
and you did warn me not to enter the garden
but it was you who tasted the apple first
who convinced me to take a bite
so i ate of the fruit, and i like how it tastes
even as it comes back up, as i crouch at the roots of the tree.
"i want to be the cause of that happiness"
baby just cause my breaking
into another fragment
and as you slip it into your pocket, be careful not to cut yourself
my edges can be sharp
especially when mishandled

Smooth as whiskey
Sweet as tea
Savory as honey
this apple seems to be
Peel back the skin
Close your eyes
Open your mouth
to enjoy the bite
Alas it's rotten
Dark is the core
Cancer has seeped
into the pores

thats left of me
