Live for the truth
no matter where it takes you.
Share it with me.
**** me with it, let me die in it.
I will always be grateful
my truthful friend
my sibling in truth.
Let me not be buried alive
under the weight of beautiful lies.
You know me
I like to breathe
Don’t spare me
the pain in the lungs brings hope - I live.
I know you
you’ll help me fight for the truth no matter where it takes me.
I will always be grateful, but tell me the truth, just the truth: Am I breathing? My chest feels heavy.

*I am sorry darling
our paths part here
a bell's loud toll
encourages pace
it sets me free
It's been a long day
the suns set
finally
my eyes can rest
in light embraced
hold on to my fragments
without lament
for the night is generous
quieting the rain
I am sorry darling
we must part ways
remember eternally:
you are part of me
it's til I see you
that goodnight I bid
my heart stays whole
and with you remains*

What heart has ever not been broken,
what soul has never sought and lost itself in pain?
And yet, to hold your broken heart and try to heal it
I’d pawn my soul and wander quite insane
I know my steps could circle
without purpose
one hundred years on earth and sky in vain
but I am the product of
a chip upon my shoulder; it boldly tells me
that I am the one your heart and soul could save

*After you left
I moved to a bigger house
as if I needed more space for my thoughts of you
as if I had the strength to
remember you
I measured the size of each room
and touched every corner
of that tremendous place
trying to guess how many moments
how many of our early mornings
in embrace
it would take
to repel the shadows of emptiness
to turn the color and shade of my contempt
I opened each window
and closed my eyes, shutting out the
wailing of a so tired heart
holding the silence
in all its weight*

*It is so easy
to fall apart within your hands
and there
I leave my soul unfolded
uncontrolled
to its side, I place the weight
of dreams imposed
upon the heart
hoping you can shape them
make sense of them
I leave half
of all the restlessness
that makes me brave enough
to hold you close
and then let go*

*You are standing there
in that five o’clock shadow
words escape me
Blame that look on your face
everything you’ve said and
those eyes, those eyes
that penetrate fiercely
I hear your steps
cross the room unhurriedly
rapture comes in your place
bare and impatient
I am motionless
wanting to devour
the space between bodies
to let tremble and crave
take over your gift and
consume your power
Blood rushes
your hands fall heavy
as the weight of your body
spoil me in your richness
and then be still for me
let me hold you
let me hold you for hours
in the strength of a gentle, but
intolerant straddle*

A thought indecent
claims to know
the you that I miss most
the you I've not yet met
and long for
prematurely
I miss your skin a day too soon
a kiss before its taste
and so I catch myself falling inertly
in thought consumed
veins first
waiting, waiting
waiting for time to bloom the day when untouched skin
and unkissed lips take form and shape of all indecent thought exposed
lived amidst the tender sounds of rustling sheets
in the warmth and taste
of strangers
known

*I want to be
your happy poem
to write myself
into your eyes
your lips, your shoulder blades
to fall into your soul
and leap from there
into that heart within your heart
not known to you just yet
I want to be
the verse that rings as true
as the promise of your gaze
late in the day, an uncontemplated
word
a whispered phrase which keeps
and holds and stays with you
throughout the day
I want to be the sound
and smell of fresh felled rain
to stir your thoughts as you awake
a storm
relentless, unafraid
to bring your laughter
and retreat into the wants
within your veins*

*Rebellious and insolent
my thoughts return to seek for you
to find an empty fighting ground; there
long ago two hearts collapsed in love
insane
And so I try again
as I take a final blow
and watch my soul’s remains
laying face up mid-sun
not knowing how to live
not knowing how to finish dying
holding a permanent stance
against letting you go
there is no final breath
I am without your many shields
exposed ever so fatally in the promise
to protect
and bleed in different shades of red
as I remember your left hand
gently covering my face
while the right swift and skilled
split my heart in two
beyond hope or repair
I am without complaint in all your strength
and in the bluest of your hues*

He was a man who stopped time
stretch a second in love
as much as he wanted
This was not the case
for Saturday traffic
he left before she got there
Sitting at the corner table
she ordered a cup of coffee
-for here-
in case he returns for that napkin
that napkin inscribed in chocolate
"I waited, you never got here
this flower is yours, if it's alive
when you find it
water it"
She did and drove home
against traffic with just a note
and a flower
Oh, if only the man that stops time
could also take care of traffic!
