The Beckoning
JSL May 2014
Morbidly wishful
of unloving you.
Drowning while I burn,
this is the death I've earned.
JSL May 2014
Everytime I think of him my heart dies another death.
and so i die every single day, sometimes on multiple occasion. Oh M.

Machine Of Loving Grace
JSL May 2014
There are things metal made-of,

my heart is not one of them.
so treat it caringly, softly, but sensually and completely.

The Silence That Speaks
JSL May 2014
The silence he gave was smothering,
and all too loud.
he didn't talk to me.
JSL May 2014
In the depth of the devil, I dared ask for a pebble,
turning that into gold, I’ll accept a trading cold.
A gentle penance of love forbid, her selfless commit.
But by attrition she is destroyed, playing as the devil’s toy.  
Love she has, a different form, love she want’s long gone.
Sacrificing a lover to make deal with fate in hopes of making things better for families and friends. This is about how two people can't be together because of a bargain.

Confession To Him Who Kills
JSL May 2014
I want to be scared
of how strong I feel
for you.
I want to love you
too hard.

Do you know how deep this root of
love,
lust,
must,
and desire
goes?
To the deepest of the suffocating depths
where gravity defies its purpose and
surrenders
to a greater pull.

I love you
with nothing,
and I hurt with everything.

I love you,
once and twice.
I love you,
each by each,
all in all,
entirely and absolute.
it's a curse that's almost beautiful.

Tick Tock The Blood Clock
JSL May 2014
I am going to be leaving you in about 2 months.
And oh, how I cant wait for the sort of poems I'll write.
I've started bleeding. but even before this.
JSL May 2014
Not even the rain

Or you

But maybe the ocean.
Whenever i'm sad going for a swim or just being near the ocean seem to fix everything, even if temporary.

The nature of the beast yet the passion in the slow burn:**

Love is like a beast; ferocious and wild. We are powerless against it, we can't control love just like we can't control a beast wanting to be untamed.

But love is also insidious in the way it hurts. It burns you slowly and passionately and because of this we bleed from deeper wounds. The careful art of pain that love expresses is a passion that is almost beautiful.
someone's way of pain is my way of love.
JSL Apr 2014
If I were to believe in love, I'd lose myself to the pain of not having it.
If I were to believe in my future, I'd die trying to make it hopelessly better.
If I were to believe in good, I'd cry while committing to the wrong-doings.

This leaves me no choice but to believe in the devil.

a Trading Cold
JSL Apr 2014
I loved you once and twice
all for the devil’s asking price
a tender torture longed-for
the graved regards, cold war

Blood, bones and scales
with you and your sneath
Sail me to death
and tell them my tales

Turning monsters
JSL Apr 2014
There are limits; and I have them.
People become different sapiens
against the wall and under duress.
You've pushed me, releasing the demons oppressed.

In me you've bred monsters.
So hateful and am hating you.
Let it bedevil you how my malice grew.

What is your plea? What is your plea?
You've killed me with the care you never gave.
The old me now rested on blood-layered grave.

In me you've bred monsters.
I loved you too hard
and now i'm turning monsters.
*******. This blood will stay wet for as long as I dare love you.

— The End —
