Bleeding Rose

I feel like I am drowning
But all at the same time I'm not.
I get pulled under and
I don't know which was is up
or which way is down
and i reach for the surface
but its
not there.
but at the same time I am
standing on my feet,
without any idea of how
or what i am standing on
or how solid it is.
I am standing yet drowning.
and
drowning is so scary
I can't breath.
There is no air
around me.
my Lungs are being filled
with the water that drowns
out all my bloodied
attempts of knowledge.
but i'm not dying
I feel like I am coming back to life
I feel like i was already dead
and the drowning is bringing me back.
As if I need to swim harder,
to find who I am,
where I am going.
As I sink further into the
oblivion
that consumes my dried skin
...
you.

Alone

Loneliness doesnt mean staying alone,
Loneliness means nobody understanding your soul..
-and you push people away then.

From his Coy Mistress

Had we but world enough, and time,
I would spend eternity,
with your lips pressed against mine.

What would've happened that day, if I would've asked you to come with me?
Was that all it would've taken?
Was that all that you wanted?

Would you have taken my hand and jumped onto the shells of those turtles with me?
Would you have smiled?
Letting me know that was the question you for so long wanted to hear?
Is what's fantasy for me, reality for you?
Are our wants the same?
Our dreams identical?

Do you imagine the times we could have?
Moments that never happened?
Kisses we've never shared?
Embraces with prominent absences?
Love we've never made?

Do you play with your hair, as I bite my nails?
Do your smiles mean the same thing to me as mine mean to you?
Are we laughing for the same reason?
Out of ecstasy?
Anxiety?
Excitement?
Do we flow in each other, like water?

I reveal everything I feel to you
And I will never mind that
To you
I can be naked
No aprovecharas

You feel my heart
Let me feel yours

Naked

Take off your dress
You said
And I did
In one swift movement, discarded in a heap
With my inhibitions
And fear.

I threw it, I threw it
I threw it all away.

Take off your dress
Do you know how that felt?
Do you know how I’ve longed to be told just that?
To be told, to be told,
To be told, by you.

Take off your dress

And then you gazed upon me, saw me
Stripped me even more than naked
Stripped me of all my defences, of all of my doubts.

Take off your dress*

I did, I did, so where are you now?
How can you leave me
Undressed
And bereft?

"O, to be a whirling dervish,"
I think to myself
as I drunkenly stumble to the bedroom
and collapse, naked,
slurring bleary hate speech
to a god
I don't believe in.
