American not really a poet... just a collection of words in my head taken out and put on paper.
here are some things you just can't shake.... there are little haunts inside your soul. mine come in dreams, and little things, like shoes, and westerns, and rabbit holes.

haunts
contorted mentality wrapped in something soft left for dead in that little green dumpster out back. growth stunted by that gentle smothering. smothered with a pleasure that was needed but not given out of mutuality. you’re enjoyment went no deeper than a short-lived purge and that happy reintroduction. nothing more, nothing less.

passionless eyes. when was all the life smothered out? was it when you were let go, or when you chose to leave? was it when that black shadow crossed your eyes that memorable night or when that same night was etched into your skin forever. was it the blood trickling out, that took your passion with it, or the tears that washed that last glint of light away. oh how I wish I could have seen them when they shone.

the twinkle in your eye
visions of you haunt me. slide under my fingertips. smother my insatiable hunger. honey dripping through its sift, caught by over-zealous hands. scorned, you only want what settles unrecognizable thirst. it burns your eyes, it dries the petals on your lips.

something you wouldn't know
cold air is colder against bare flesh. swept over with serenity. alone. these worldly things have lost their grasp. cold air grasps. cold burns. that sound when iced wind hits the glass sends a chill down a covered spine cold in thought cold against flesh left alone in dark divine. doubt is distant but closely cold a chill in warmth and desire. a clouded bowl of clouded ice a frozen-over fire. These things are cold and cold they stay no heat has found its home lost in air futilely grown a never ceasing mire.

frost
a foreign feeling migrates in. in with the winter winds it comes. ready. raw. musters strength. guiltily building up. it move from the core of being outwards. pulses like liquid heat poisons the blood swallows whole its innocent host. runs rampant exposure in spurts. unwanted attention. shameful movements. anger and hate. anger and hate. rage.

rage.
I am not a dog to be scolded and rewarded. I do not bark when asked to speak. I am not a dog. therefore I am not a *****

I lost my leash.
it was a movement. one of a brother, a mother, a father. but not a movement of a lover. the way your lips so gently brushed mine was not beautiful. the delicacy was displaced. in traveled the nonchalance. they call it a peck. It swayed like a shock wave. such a minute movement. shockingly appalling. shockingly chaotic. there was no love. no embrace. no heat. but rather the indecisive movement. of the cold and the ashamed.

a slight pause
Slowly Revolutions Loss of the momentary flickering an inescapable fleeting of infeasibility spun. These beautiful colors Become one beautiful web Smashing into those hurt eyes With every pulse, movement Slow grey spin-spun twist-turn familiarities modify With every revolution. Distortion in the most striking. potential is no contest confusion is adjustable when the view falls and sees all of those wonders from the bottom up. Haphazard, Those blurs whisper that The wind tells no lie When it convinces a soul To forgot what it feels like To stand solid Spun.

Spun
No light penetrates The overwhelming warning Of the Heavens, A warning of brokenness That cannot be avoided, A cool quietness smothers the trees, An eerie implication. Halted are the simple treks for survival. Forgotten holes of yesterday reopened. As the clouds resurrect, A thankful calm washes away The fear of the unknown. Fear comes before growth and Preparedness need not be remembered. With the rain comes baptism, With the storm comes renewal.
