Giver/Taker

I think I hate your boyfriend.

He seems less a giver,
More a taker.

Texas

Texas

Said I'd never go back to Texas
But there's something pulling me there
I'll face my destiny in a dusty street -

She's got a gun in her hand and pale lavender hair

Thaw

Adam Barraclough Jul 2013

Thaw

Her skin pale ice
Her body, winter.

My hands smooth
Across her flesh,
Warmth blooms,
Spring blossoms.

My kiss is heat,
I taste her snowmelt.

— The End —
