I am acid
Running down your back
Seeping into your ears, your heart
Down your veins.
I stand in wait
Till your bones corrode
Till your breath staggers
Till your eyes close.

Edging to your side
Night falls and I am whirling
Again this feeling
Maybe I’ll forget
One careful twirl at a time
Undo this aching.
Revisiting you
Explaining to my senses
Dancing, I alone.

I am the silence after three doors slamming
I am the shy moon slipping in the light
I am a wet leaf on a sleepy morning
I am jumping jelly, shivering in my skin
I am a chase on a lonely highway
I am a crisp, green apple, tossed in the air
I am dawn's glow, breaking from the shadows
I am a whisper, escaping from their lips
I am your wildest dream, ready to begin.

I'm boiling.
The littlest things flick the switch.
Impatience coursing through my veins,
welting like little bitter bullets
sent straight to the heart. I
swallow them whole
in an awkward embrace.
Mask the fury, the white anger.
The rod is in the trunk of the car.

Madly we keep spinning
Blurring turning burning
You reflect me
and he'll reflect she
We'll regret some
forget the rest
Mimic and repeat a loop of
our misshapen scars
Perfect symmetry
A careful harmony
Till we exist only as we.
And our circle mirror transformation come to be.

The stars line my corridor
But I wave them off into oblivion
Like your name writhing on my tongue
They are made to be forgotten.
We were but are no longer
Fingers laced, the past erased.
The moon cries out at its own rebirth
My eyes refuse to see your worth.
So come let us weep and part
You can learn to mend your twice-broken heart.

Oh you don't even know
You've got a hold on me
Fingertips tracing the lines
on my neck like raindrops
Cooling the afternoon wave
And we both know that
love this is not but still
our hearts they hum and
remind us that they are.
We are nothing and yet we are
Everything.
Oh but you don't even know.

Another year encroaches on the
determinedly faded memories
Reminding me of everything in vain.
In vain vanity I remember how
curved my smile goes, rounded
just right when my name rests on
your lips and I lose all resolve
Easy laughter and words in twos
A familiar tugging and a comforting glow
Harder to resist and yet to rue
I seek a lost love already known
But oh I cannot locate my heart.
Old habits die indefinitely hard.

One-
I've forgotten to say hello the way normal people do.
Two-
I have forbidden your eyes.
Three-
Your stream of words flow over my head.
Four-
And into my soul.
Five-
Then up to the sky.
Six-
We hold the world in our musings.
Seven-
Paint the future in our songs.
Eight-
We fly.
Nine-
Soar.
Ten-
Pretend the sun isn't setting.
Ready or not, here I -

It is found not in the subtle petals of new.
Nor in the light rain on sullied earth.
Not in the frost that scurries across the window
But in the rust-coloured grounds of October.
In the fall, in the fall
In the freshly browned leaves
In the warm cup of tea
In the shiver down my spine
In the last few days of sun
In the ice that fills your lungs
In the end ever encroaching
In the time ever slipping
That's where love-
