down on the west coast
autumn lies waiting, its leaves in a fit of fury. the bitter breeze is hungry for home, while i lost mine quite a while ago.

almost, the leaves
Callused fingertips, bruised up lips, but when the day is done, you're still my sun. A star so high; digging me a grave so low. Love is complete when it's this skin deep.

Fly, fly
i wish our love could have unattached itself and fallen as gently as the autumn leaves do in the breeze; like a ship sailing smoothly at sea. i wish our love had ended on a winter's day, so the memories would feel like icicles ready to fall on my skull, rather than fire creeping up my back, like the blazing summer heat.

wishful thinking
sometimes, a little sliver of light is more than enough to chase the demons away.

chase the sun
It is nighttime. The stars glimmer in **** near infinite distances and directions, sending out static signals that we may never hear, emitting light, we get to see long after they are deceased. I would give you these burning things. I would send you safe sparkling dreams of space travels and grand adventures. If my hand could stretch beyond the horizon of a black hole I would reach out into the gravity field and gift you the unknown. For a small smile or merely the hope that one day past your pain you will laugh again and find sweet dreams I would give you eternity. But for now all I have is poetry. So, I give you the heart of my words, they are yours to do with as you please.

These Burning Things
you keep saying that i've changed. i know, these bones don't feel quite the same. so many different versions of me have passed by you. always afraid; always so alone. our souls have intertwined so many times and we don't even know it. but i know in every variant of myself i have loved you.

same soul
My sun: setting more beautifully than any sky in sunny California, though I haven’t seen one in so **** long. I’m starved for your attention, won’t you shine on me a little brighter, babe? I know you miss the waves when you’re up north; I know you shiver in September and that it’s too soon, that you should still be able to show off those tan lines but if you stay here with me I’ll love you like I’m the moon. Let’s not make our love something that they can only see occasionally. Let's outlast the summer.

a total eclipse of the heart
i'm tired of watching you go. you ghost right past me and forget all the love we shared. i become nothing but your past and you become someone who i can never see again. but then you return and the heavy rain lightens for a bit, i might even glimpse the sun. but we both know it'll end and the cycle will repeat itself.

let go
In a distant memory, I hear the words "I love you" echoed in an otherwise peripheral silence.
