23/F/earth find me in cracks unseen.
I’ve loved satin and lace for a long time, yet believed I was too rugged to enjoy such luxury. That being draped by something that feels like butter on a porcelain vase desecrates its sanctity. I was never meant for such grandeur, as I am made of stone. Coarse, menacing, and hard. Such gentleness doesn’t befit an ever-destructive chaos. I was a whirlwind romance, a cacophony of squawking ravens and crows, a relentless repetition of echoes in the caving mountains, a disastrous flair in an illicit affair.  A damsel and the prince, the one who saves her own soul from eternal damnation. Yet. I was taught softness once. How I can be a gentle breeze from the northerlies, like a lily pad floating on a laminar stream, or a dandelion fluttering in the breeze. But this softness was robbed. From me, from everything else. Returning me to the state I came to hate the most, to shy away from, to loathe and bury like a cadaver that reeked of nothing but ill intent. Which made me realize that this time there was no turning back, that I was calloused now, permanently. Transforming a learning heart into a plethora of evil and demise. A gatherer of sorrows, a charmer of guilt. A benign tumor, a tactless joke. What’s harder is that there’s no clear road to return.

the delicateness of a ragged thorn.
Will hellfire breathe amongst the icy glaciers, igniting the frozen pits of my flesh? If hell hath all women scorned, will it also unleash the reigned beast I had tamed inside? With every glisten of sweat and profound lines etched on his skin, will it grip my soul into an enchanting dance? I believe that it would, it may, and it can. In a tumultuous feat, I'd be close to something spectacular. Would heaven's gates hate on me, and will the angels shun my presence for longing such a guilty desire? They might, and I know they will.

folded psalms
i saw you smile today and it braided a heart that's frayed; leaving stronger feelings i can't tame no one else but you to blame i felt you skin to skin today it sent electric touches down my spine; like reading a novel's plot twist line one where both characters stayed i got to kiss you today it resembled comets touching atmospheres; something that can move you to tears and i loved catching some strays i got to hold your hand today and it was like my lifeline; i don't know how and i don't know why but it hitched my breath; oh too sublime

I got to
in his breath i heard trails of promise, of comets and stars, date nights with kisses, of hurt and scars in his breath i learned to draw, a sword of defense, arrows of offense, and bled and gained flaw; in his breath i had known, the lies to be thrown, the damage to be made. and the swing of my blade.

breath
i lost faith when i lost you coffee seemed too bitter than it was the air's dirtier than it is— or maybe i am unknowingly suffocating i don't know; but, i lost faith when i lost you reeked of nothing but sadness known no light at the end of the tunnel and lost me when i lost you

i lost faith the day i lost you
i ache in areas i didn't know could feel pain like a stepped on leaf—brought by disdain i bleed in crevices i thought i had fixed; but my body seems to deny the remedies —it ditched the cries; the laughter, the shattering thunder makes my heart unnaturally falter the heaviness; the rage, the unforgiving phase, the me you cannot replace the heave and squeal, the dying of zeal, the red as it shed— and the blue once its dead.

damaged
i dreamt once to be swept away by love like waves; set astray feelings loose like golden sand by every sweep of someone's hand yet when it came--- it felt like troubled waters chaotic but full of wonders then I began to ponder, love is like tidal waves, larger than shallow tides nothing like a little light--- but something that gives a sunburned heart.

sunburned heart
i remember the embers dying, the chest that felt the sting, the wound that kept on aching, the silence between rivers of thought; tempting to sing. it hums, it buzzes as my mind right there fuzzes--- blank--- black what the hell was that? everything turned gray then rainbows, then rain followed by a strong h   u    r    r   i    c    a    n    e i twirled, buzzed fiddled and dozed a lot more of nothing until it became everything the silence grew loud i wanted to get out its fingers--- no claws crawled, until there was jaws i screamed, but screaming was painful it burned me, until i was put out.

the silence that killed a flame
I was chaos in delicate lace, in satin and taffeta; a pretty face what they see is what I let a peek behind; they may regret. I was chaos in delicate lace, with smiles charming--- tears no trace lips with chapstick; smudge on side nothing but a breathless ride. I was chaos in delicate lace, disarray with class and taste I reek of Chanel and all things sweet, nothing but a foul treat. I was chaos in delicate lace, only but a pretty face a troubled heart and restless mind, a woman whose love is always blind.
