On the outside
I see
Less
Than others

But beyond physical sight
They are the blind ones
Be
Be your own inspiration
your life will never be the same
You sweet woman
With a heart of steel
If I crack the safe
Do we have a deal.
If I fall
no need to react,
Im quite tenacious
I will bounce back.
The code to your heart
Will be difficult to break
It’s like swimming
Inside a frozen lake.
I know your worth it
Your pure gold inside
So Im prepared
To take this task and
Crack it with pride.
I think I’ve found
a weak point I needed
A break
In going to entice
with
Some
chocolate cake.
It
eliminates
everything
in it's wake

still these
unconscious
idiots

contemplate
more champagne
for their next date

while the rest of us
gnash teeth as the earth shakes.
Silence—
a draft in an attic
with nowhere to go
slipping under a door
holding its breath
until it forgets itself.

It is the cracked cup
hidden at the back
of the cupboard
turned upside down
as if laid to rest.

It is the nest
in a bare branch
at winter’s cold fist—
the ache
of having been left behind.

Silence stretches itself
thin—over the night’s spine.
It is the single leaf—
caught mid-fall
held in the wind’s soft hand
never to be let go.

It stirs
a quiet defiance—
the walls ache with it—
heavy as love too shy to speak
fragile as a memory
melting into dark.
This gut feeling
As you lean to me :
Heart pounds,
Breath breaks,
Eyes contact,
Body freezes,
Craving increments,
Touch finds soul.
Well..... Sad but true.
Lies take the first priority in love.
He was a
robot
who dreamt
it was a real boy.
