At a desk, coffee sachets rest.
Long-life milk harbours
white dreams of expiry.
Shuffling in his forgetful nest
a grey man blinks
at the intruding light.

Americo, do you remember
your antique power,
that opened like a rose
on the walls of Hiroshima?
This is a poem for the Blackwater
       of your being
where death lives
       beyond your seeing
and the white swan floats
       above your keeping
This is a poem for the Blackwater
       which keeps you breathing

Don't scrape my layers.
Don't dig inside.
You’ll find some good,
but I’ll run, and hide.
You'll see the good,
but you’ll want more.
I’m not an idea.
Inside, I'm poor.
Don't dig inside.
My layers are few.

Don't, just don't
let me disappoint you.
It's about what I don't say here.
Some people are just born blessed and equipped to be another persons counterpart perfectly

John Donne
No Lover saith, I love, nor any other
Can judge a perfect Lover;
Hee thinkes that else none can, nor will agree
That any loves but hee;
I cannot say I'lov'd. for who can say
Hee was ****'d yesterday?
Lover withh excesse of heat, more yong than old,
Death kills with too much cold;
Wee dye but once, and who lov'd last did die,
Hee that saith twice, doth lye:
For though hee seeme to move, and stirre a while,
It doth the sense beguile.
Such life is like the light which bideth yet
When the lights life is set,
Or like the heat, which fire in solid matter
Leave behinde, two houres after.
Once I lov's and dy'd; and am now become
Mine Epitaph and Tombe.
Here dead men speake their last, and so do I;
Love-slaine, loe, here I lye.

ugly dolled up--

a good quiet cry, eyes squeezed

shut.

pretend makes it go away--

sweet sociopathic denial.

misshapen rancor, not a word

spoken of it, only haggard

hobblings, and gutless mouthings.

that cross the T of the tale.

fresh white sheets thrown over a corpse

that plays dead, while the heart

bleeds through.

a truly artful stain.

I love you with all my might,
All my heart and all my life.
But if you fail to put up with my battles,
I'll cleave our bonds with a knife.
