Drinking summer skin,
I hear the voices in the night sky
I'm a slave to the darkness around the stars,
and I can't remember why

One, two, twenty-three percocet in my soul.
Ambulance lights breathing throughout the mist.
Pump my stomach like the sawed-off shotgun
that I was too afraid to use,
because what if I 'miss'?
What spectrum of desolation to be traced with lips;
to kiss away the desire to exist.

Mirrored reflection injection causes the resurrection of my imperfection.
I see me for who I am, who I was, and who I won't be.
It's the collection of
my eyes dilating and my knees speculating their arrival
to the blue and white tiling disguised as neo-survival.
My mind is evaporating. My body begins to convulse.
I am a ghost in a machine. I am without a pulse
I
would
give you my
forever but I doubt
I will be around that long
so I'll give you what I've got and
hope that it's
enough

I
Would
Give you my
Dreams but you're in
Them all so won't you walk
With me and we
Could live
Them
All

I
Would
Give you my
Heart but it's already
Been shattered so I'll give you
What's left and we can
Heal together

I
Would
Give you all
I've ever had but
I've never had much so
You can take what you want
I trust you
*My Love

What else if not love sprout in my heart,
for i saw you first on a spring morn;
and you of all were in your best form,
like a dancing lily of the season itself;

Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

I remember our first kiss
The taste of wine on your lips
The sweet goodbyes in the mist
The stain of lipstick in the winds

I remember our first dance
The slow swaying of the hips
The soft sigh of utter bliss
The lullabies that we miss

I remember our first day
The small stumbles and the trips
The squeals of laughter in the ships
The secret wishes on the wisps

I remember my first tear
The look of love on your face
The new emptiness in the space
The priest's last words and final grace
Flowers are growing
on my body where your hands
touched me last time.
