curling confetti
litters like cleavers
‘neath pot-bound lungs
outgrowing his ribcage
she shoots
unrestrained
rambling t’ward
a celandine sun

taut
beneath midnight stippled skin
you lay stifled in humid half light
stymied fingers
between edgy estival beats
drum your chest
fluid smooth
over wind-whipped knees
my hiemal body pours
a blasé moon
briefly strains to contour
my salt slapped cheeks
I begged her
that lunar *****
to rake gelid slivers
across your skin
my name wistfully hissed
where fingers would skate
to patent my cure
for your searing need
but that vainglorious orb
kept you
her guiltless reflection
swells in your dolorous eyes
as she pins you
taut
beneath midnight stippled skin

Kick my warped heart
'cross horizon's false length
watch it burst at my heel's tempered strength
under hot caustic palms
I grind clots into smears
o'er the tactless bold beauty
of dusk's starlit tears
Acidic blood orange
immiscible lies
through combustible petrol lined dusk riddled skies
pummelled raspberry shades
razor grazed until night
amid gloaming mood strains
of my bruise hued twilight
Your blackness detoxifies
poison carved pain
murmured words purify
dispel doubts storm fuelled rain
overcome by our sunsets
conquer nights crushing pain
watch the burnt sun arise
let our hearts love again

you cracked stars
lavished me in gloaming dust
beneath freckled lashes
through glimmering tips
I adored you
uncontrollably
pledged skies could not hide in your midnight eyes
still your somber head slowly shook
between powder keg’d echoes and dwindling flickers of twilight
I slashed clumsy neon scars
intoxicated
stabbed stars spat
stuttering sparks
searing gift-wrap skin
and shrivelling ribboned lust
so shamefully I cling
to your petrol soaked promises
with tinder ribs
awaiting combustion
but you always knew
I was too dewy
to ignite
and my lungs starve flames
as I gasp
knowing
only you can crack
my star shelled wish

cobwebs yawn at worn out corners
shame will sing my whispers warn
fireflies fade in burning bulbs as
memory-making wings are torn
forever's filthy broken promise
lash the back of wounded past
marooned upon my stepping stone
where lucent limbo never lasts
i’ll ignore the worn out corners
turn my back on fading light
as cobwebbed feathers fight the fall
my patchwork wings intent on flight

he nudges her troubles
like pebbles
away
knowing most will return
living just for today
her whispers drift doubts
lift clouds
in play
knowing winds will change
skies shift and grey
her moon rakes tides
impulsively
horizons
palm to palm
unaware she wears the stars
his mirrored gift in glistened calm
her adoration
floods his seas
beyond prosaic reflections
he fears his own uncharted ink
she loves deep imperfections

flickering flurries
‘neath burnishing beams
of molten moonlight’s
own gleaming iced dreams
in glistening glimpses
on winter whipped walk
stung lips cite the script
yet besotted eyes talk
under chunky knit pom-poms
cheeks peach’ily pink
over lingering indigo
brassy stars wink
