Let me never be a cause for your tears
a knife to my throat would be preferable
my hand I wish it to be when you reach out
forever pulling us higher up this treacherous mountain
even if it were required for me to carry you
out of breath, weak, on the verge of collapse I would not falter
for I would never take the risk of us falling down a rocky cliff
never allow harm to come your way in manner
as long as I have control
I will keep you safe within my heart
never to fall

Am I not hungry for you
am I not starved
ravenous
when I finally taste you
will I ever stop drinking
such sweet, pure sustenance
my life force, my drink
my breath and life

If my written words could scream
you may go deaf

A face I study hard as if it were arithmetic
eyebrows like mountain arches
I wish to climb high to caress your forehead
such a sweet nose I will kiss incessantly
to reach the valley that is your full lips
falling down to sweet repose in your soul
safe
as I look up from below into your eyes
dark pools of love
let me swim deep down into the depths
never surfacing
that is alright, I can still breathe here
memorizing each line and crevice
of the house that is your heart

Fantasies with Death
bottle evaporating my tongue
passion for Death
smoke baptizing my soul
******* to Death
a hose hooked to my tailpipe
making love with Death
vision blurred, groggy
round the bend
*does Death make love
or is it ****

When I find me utterly destroyed
I look into your eyes
and melt
forgetting all the knives in my soul
if only I could just see those eyes beyond my mirror
deeper than a picture
your stare must eradicate diamonds
when standing before your warmth
