My love for you
Grows like wild flowers
How lovely
 Dec 2013 REAL
Earthchild
Crumpled agaisnt the white wall
Burning tears streaming
From my hollow exhausted eyes
Down my pale cheeks they fall
Along my raspberry lips they gather
Oceanic water

One by one
The last few daisys that lined my mind
Wilt
Their petals are dropping to the ground
Ever so slowly they turn to dust
My heart is charcoal black
My walls are breaking down

I look around me the glacial walls
Melting to the ground
They pool at my sides
I drag my frail finger through the warm water
snap
Someone grabs my hand
Shaking my clouded head
I look up with red swollen eyes
Mom?

Shes so far off her voice a silent as a winter breeze
I give up
Head falls back onto my chest
I grasp my head
A fist full of my long brown hair
Shuddering breaths threatening to shake me apart
"I am so ****** up"
I whisper soft as rose petals

All that is left are fragments, ashes of what used to be my warm heart. Help me.

on the corner of conroy
and kirkman
a man who didn't look
a day past dirt
poured me a grin
as i poured out
my change for him.

an army green sack
draped over his back
drank the coins
while the old man's
gums roared
the kind of wisdom
that only comes
with age
and maybe an once
of crack *******.

he leaned into the
driver's side window
and said dear
DON'T BURN THE CHICKEN!

*shrugs
These are the life lessons you learn in Orlando. I am hoping he wasn't serious tho.

dreams of nowhere
yet there going somewhere
I can't tell where
not just anywhere
but there.

The feeling

The motion

The color

To feel absolute

The mistakes

The never ending

But coming to a finish

You go back

To your regular life

And you never look back

She Who Was
i enjoy
the feel of your fingers
in my hair
and your lips
pressed
to my ear to whisper
sweet nothings
as i fall asleep

i am in love
with the way
you smell
feel
taste

i am simply in love
with you
all together
