She was correcting

all the mistakes of her past
with an eraser and pencil
sitting in a bleak room
painted  clinical  white.

Every night I lay into a pink sleep, which is the secrecy of her arm’s love for me. There is a solace for me in her eyes… if only I could live in their reflections forever! A landscape of exploding glass-works, that trickle wet stories down her beloved face. Into my dreams, they will fire an inscription of dazzling intimacies, in soft-blue storms of light. I want to run away with her down private roads, that glisten with the unrest of heartbeats.

As I sit
On a deck chair
In the sun
Outside my childhood home
And let the sun
Leave its mark of beauty
On my skin,
My thoughts flow
Like poetry
And I am happy once again.

I can hear
The delicate chirp
Of birds
And wonder whether
They're saying:
"You should've done this
A long time ago."

When Christians were persecuted in biblical times they would identify each other with the symbol of the fish.

It is the symbol of Christianity to this day.

I saw you as beauty
A true art form
I was a fan and couldn't get enough
The curves and shape of your body
The way your smile
Could pick me up if I was down
The way your touch
Would steal my breath away
Throughout my life
I had been searching for you
You
Were who I had been looking for

No matter what I say or do
Nothing is going to change you

You helped me to realize
That loving someone
Wasn't always going to be enough
And it doesn't matter how much you love them
They really have to want it
And they have to want to open up

How can we be on the same page
When we're not even in the same book?
I've written chapters about you and I
Yet, you write about me only when you're in trouble
Here I am for you
But that takes a toll

I need someone to be there sometimes too
But, that doesn't change the fact
I love you

The Victim

She looks at herself in the mirror
A tear drops from her face
She fixes her silver earring
As her heart begins to race
She lies down on her bed
In her diamond studded dress
She looks up at her ceiling
So many thoughts race through her head
As the bottle falls out of her hand
And her eyes begin to shut
She thinks about all the times
They laughed as she would cut
As her heart begins to stop
And she lets out her last breathe
She whispers to herself
Will they still be laughing after my death?
