Dearth Feb 2019
Caress my skin with
Your feathers of air
Cool air
Sweet as a mint chocolate

Gentle light
Shining down from above
Like a shaft of God's will
All that I wanted
Dearth Jan 2019
War
Tempos burning higher
Pruning the trees
snip snip
shears of revolution

Tempered bones
and
fallen trees
hold your torches up now

Sulfur and Brimstone!!
graying marble
ashes all around

All this for
one
crown
Dearth Jan 2019
Why
Everything seems too much
Its the insidiously subtle taste
of drawing not
enough air

I'm slowly drowning
under the weight
of all I am

The slightest touch of your hands
overloads my senses
until i burn
out

a socket
with one too many
plugged in
Dearth Jan 2019
This is the year that you left me
To place that I can't reach
I know its not forever
But
Some part of me can't seem to accept it

This is the year I sit
In the ashes of all I burnt down
Building a new home
With my blackened hands
Where for the first time
I'll live
alone

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I must confess
I'm no elephant
But a goldfish
Forgetting you
With every passing moment

This empire
So cold now
Will spring ever come?
I ponder
endlessly

I await patiently
For this frost to thaw
And that day
Can't come
Soon
Enough.
Dearth Nov 2018
I broke a *** today
It slipped from my buttery fingers
Shot to the ground

I broke a *** today
It's shards sleep on the floor
Waiting to be swept

I broke a *** today
It was my favourite ***
Now, no more

I fixed a *** today
Never the same
Think I'd throw it out
Dearth Nov 2018
When I first met you
It was raining.
The softly falling drops
Mirrored the way your eyes shone.

At our first embrace
You enveloped me
The **** taste of raspberries
I could never forget.

With your first touch
A spray of sea salt
Wind running through my hair
And stung your cheek.

Iron and rust in my mouth
Mud and grime on my skin
All that's left
The first time I left you
It was raining.

— The End —
