And when I've made the descent
All there is to ask for is a clean break
Easier for the bone to set together
Fuse back into what it used to be

Caught frozen in frame
Waiting for it to melt away
Fast forward through the dark
Clenched fists and screaming

Appreciate the solitude
Healed bones and muscles
Dance beneath the moon full
Just the spirits and I alone

This plague is disastrous...
No casualties quite yet,
But my skin does bubble,
And my soul itches constantly.

I'm sure you're somewhere,
Doing something with someone,
Letting me drop so far
Into your unvisited archives.

Back with the forceps,
And your grand confusion,
Of who or what you thought
You needed to be.

The cough has calmed,
Dreams grow a little strange,
I think of you only once in a while,
But you still are my plague.

Breeze felt from your wings,
Hovering like a humming bird,
When my heart is steady,
And my body fast asleep.

Lips caress my cheek,
And your gaze burns my face,
But I refuse to wake,
Because I'm stubborn.

Your breath invades my dreams,
Stealing away my hiding place,
And a thundering whisper calls,
For me to draw the curtains.

Crystal clear,
This bitter sweet memory,
When time was golden,
And everything was fine.

Ash soon did cover,
And not much was clear.

Until the other day,
You sat on my porch,
Crystal clear,
And I felt alright.

The smoke was an offering,
Mostly to memory,
And all I lost,
When your flame died.

Feeling somewhat lost,
Understanding myself,
Control is necessary,
Kindling my desire.

Make art with me,
Everything must go.

Heart in your hand,
Aching for the squeeze,
Reaching for the kiss,
Deprived and prepared.

Contortions and words,
Blended into bliss,
Awaiting midnight,
To kiss the stars.

North wind is angry,
The chimes sing heavy,
Hands cupped and catching,
Refreshing breeze.

To me it's not a craft,
It's an understanding,
Of completely being,
And completely letting go.
