In sorrow's end,
Where lovers meet,
Where death will call,
And mother's weep,
A fitting end,
To harrowed tales,
When lovers fall,
Emotion fails,
A dying kiss,
A lovesick heart,
And then we know,
We're worlds apart.

you
are my salvation
you
save me
I live without you
but it feels lacking and lonely
how did I do this before?
I want to breathe your air
I want to fall into your arms
and feel your lips against me
I want to feel your love and know its true
I want you
I want all of you
without you
it's cold and it's dark and I can't get away from myself
I want to be with you
always
every hour of every day
I want you
I miss you
I miss you so much it hurts me
it hurts me
it hurts me so much I don't know how I get through it
I don't know how I make it to sunset without falling apart
you kept me together
you held me together
you made me want to stay that way
you changed everything
I gave you everything
I poured my heart and soul into loving you
you're gone now
and I don't know how to get it back
where am I without you?
I am lost, adrift out at sea
I can save myself
I know I can
but the wound you left feels like a bullet
shot through my heart
and all I have are bandaids to patch it together
I have to live without you
I have to live with missing you
one day this will be over
one day I'll stop feeling the ghost of your touch
one day I'll erase your smile
your eyes
your voice
from the workings of my soul
and I will learn to breathe again
and I will learn to save myself
and be my own salvation

love me
thrill me
kiss me
**** me
wrap those arms around me
and tell me i'm yours
keep me close
close to you and close to your heart
warm me with sweet kisses trailing down my spine
tell me you love me
but show me too
laugh with me
play with me
be with me
whisper to me in the darkest hours
find your way to me down the fading path
we'll be together, darling
we'll hold each other up, always
i'll be yours if you'll be mine
we'll tangle ourselves up in these hearts
until the knots are too much
and it'll tear us apart to break free
the leaving would ruin us
ruin me
to thrash and struggle to walk away
would be apocalyptic
but don't think of that now
i know nothing lasts forever
but our love will blossom and grow
within this fleeting gasp of eternity

This weight
on my chest
slipping into my core
and pooling there
eating away at everything else
and leaving only this hollowness
I am empty, I say
I am hollow and cold, I say
fill me, warm me, fix me
But you don’t need fixing, they say
You don’t need anyone but yourself, they say
I know I know I know
but
what do I do with this heavy hollow feeling?
it drags me down like an anchor into the dark depths
I want to laugh and dance and go wild
I want to breathe in life
and exhale everything else
I want to be held, to be touched – anything please
I want to talk to kiss to love – something please
I want meaning
passion
burning desire
but more than anything
I want calm, quiet, perfect happiness
I want love
I want to be known

I want a love that devours me
not in one big bite
with a snap of sharp, hungry teeth
but piece by piece
nibbling around the hard edges until it meets the soft and chewy center
until it tastes the very core of me
the heart – my heart
I want a love that devours me
not all at once
but slowly – slowly now
so slowly I don’t even notice until that last crumb dissolves
I want a love that consumes me
I want a love that makes my pulse go wild and steals the breath from my lungs
I want a love that makes me smile at the thought
a love that threads itself through dreams
that holds me close and keeps me warm through the coldest nights
I want a love that’s all mine
I want love that envelops me in its tender embrace
and drowns me in the weight of this new
strange
happiness

I think the wind
Stole the stars from your eyes
Because your smile is a
Distant memory,
And now all I am is lonely.

She came to me in a dream
of bones
floating on top of the waters
of a riverbed of death
her cold lips
offered a warm smile
and the promise
of a place better than this
I heard my heartbeat slow
and fade
as I gave into the hope
of drowning
and dropped my bones
one by one
into the peaceful current
of her limbs
and now I can’t remember
my name or my sins
and I am no longer
here or there
but if this dream isn’t lying
I have finally found my home

[tongue taking taken prayer]
*come worship in my temple.
your tongue gowned by silence,
thy teasing vibrations disperse my slack,
exchanging it for a rigidity that is even softer, looser,
an improvement possibility impossibly incomprehensible
the noises of freedom from anonymity is thy silenced tongue
unleashed, teasing, speaking tongues unrelenting and unremitting, tongues unforgotten for they never were
learned, and incapable of being self-taught
my pleasure sprouts mushrooms in thy loamy foam,
thy rainfall nourishment, seed plant growing life morning borne,
thy tricked up sonnets played within my hearts harp,
tunes never known but coming from the land of plenty,
my new promised land
teach me where the apostrophe goes, the comma and
why the question mark is curved and dotted like my body,
why we need punctuation to separate the first from the next
trees weep as if every dry rain petal is instantly imbibed,
wanting more for my swollen by thy ministrations,
I cry out
my ice storm, my thunder, embalm me within the
electric spreading in my veins shocking steady constant
thy name thy name I beg to give thee a name
to understand what has befallen me*
you can call me by my favorite of
all my seventy two,^
your first baby squeals and
even now in human manufactured agreed upon symbols
(words),
every utterance a prayer heard and answered
my name is a heated and unbroken
hallelujah,
I am thy god, and you, darling you,
my beloved
