American a total lover of language, head over heels. the combinations are completely endless, leaving us the whole universe to fill with creativity, meaning, emotion, life. i love the way it feels, sounds, tastes like to be a part of that magic.
Look up at the moon and reach your hand toward the sky; I reach for you, too.

oceans away
mysterious existences endure beside a transitory life of silent beginnings, where a hidden solitary figure becomes a poet in the distance, only living in writing - leaving things, weaving threads into lacework of everlasting presence, the essence of eternity and vastness of creativity captured and secured in her attempts to verse infinity.

in the way she lives
later, legs laced in rapture, hinted in the heated swell of your fleshy diaphragmatic release, urges thickening as lungs re-expand, stop short and sweet, sound escalating with each irk of the sheets – inexplicable and evanescent electric sensations, an instantaneous flood of radiating submission, intoxicating ecstasy you ignite in me.

burning at the door when you kissed me hello
raging internal war. feeling bombs detonate in the caves of my core, exploded shrapnel tearing up my lungs, my stomach, my heart. but you cant see the lacerations, the spitting blood; just a despondent face, buried in hands that do a poor job of concealing it, so out of place.

stitch me up
fooled myself into believing you could save me; still suffocating.

no surprise
white blanketed trees and iced over telephone poles, rectangular flashes of color are boxcars becoming a blur, a monotone rainbow smeared across the passenger window sending subliminal messages that say do not resuscitate but you're falling away with every rung of the railway falling further behind, step out onto the platform tears falling down and they're mixing with the rain, no, this isn't home, this isn't home.

reckless abandonment
days get longer - find no need to trudge through slush because spring comes home. eyes fuse to life: you, a meditation screaming at the top of my lungs; amazement on any given day; a one-minute heart-skipping, a sunlit moon and the world keeps going round. but for moments, forever, my world's stuck on you.

winter's dark grip
found at the heart of true: it's you dear, who gets me through the days, yes you.

confession
emergency repairs to broken roads, being less than expected, i prompt some to ask too much. damage, storm-related damage, a million surrenders by early november, i throw my arms up suspending the normal. wind, waves washed out every east-west highway, bypassed permission - no such thing as waiting for a good day. bring in the guard and hire flaggers, rebuilders take gravel and rock from the brooks and rivers, reduce the cost of me, consider me open to no lanes of traffic crossed-off gates in an absence of hope. major reconstruction, let's have a conversation about existing doesn't mean just fixing wounds suffered from the storm; some words of warning - be careful buying stake in a girl who's longing for the day she'll wake up and feel relief from drowning.

in the hills
looking, you hear enormous whirring and clanging, feel cotton lint hanging in the air, see shadowy presence, maybe he’s there, maybe he’s in your mind. spinning spools of time, painting swirls of color on the ground, a little girl dressed in her Sunday Best finally sitting down.
