aria xero Dec 2022
Neptune gems trickle weightlessly down
Banging on glass, pounding shards sharp in my mind
Erratic droplets disperse
Dosed in gelid waters
Our image plummets into the iris of your still blue eyes
Splash hues iridescent
Percolating through my veins
I bleed indigo fire
Farewell shrouds of the sky
Until they cry cerulean again
aria xero Dec 2022
Broken
Why am I so broken
Jagged sparkles of glass jut out from my insides
Grotesque
Rubber-band flesh springs back with each pull
Must eviscerate down to the cell
Slice across to beads of dark garnet droplets
Forced puppetree of lips to a smile
Am I pretty enough
No
Just broken
aria xero Jun 2020
siren song
splash the jagged rocks
hopelessly incandescent
awaiting sailors call
from faraway isles

mermaid tails
iridescent scales
rainbow ripples
extend out
ships to sea

serpent teeth
from depths of black
sink into wood
cries fall deep
drowned

pirate swagger
cutlass clangs
of power
lustrous treasure
buried

open waves
breathless orange
skies of amethyst
and gold
ocean tales told
aria xero Oct 2019
it's dark.
everywhere is pale.
empty.
what could i have done?
broken heart.
i believed you.
skin on skin with someone else.
you did not chase me.
no love.
lies?
there is another now.
i am left forgotten.
slipped away.
my fault you said.
you left me.
your lips on another.
it's dark.
everywhere is pale.
empty.
i hate her.
i am dust.
lost in this corridor.
aria xero Oct 2018
Aches
Black hole pains
Eat away insides

Empty
Rivers run down cheeks
Void of air in lungs

Over
He hates me
No words spoken again

Alone
Still in my head
Burrowed deep

Love
Will always be
It was you
aria xero Aug 2018
I told you your eyes were pretty
twin jade pools
get lost in ocean depths
deep sadness hides
behind cloudy playfulness
sparklers of excitment flashes
torrential rain of hurt

You held my face in your hands when you kissed me
lips a velvety smooth
parted surprise, anxious for more
rhythmic solace
melted peripherals
halted time

My face and heart flushed
you pulled away
breathless
hopeful reciprocation of yearning
bittersweet, those emerald eyes
aria xero Aug 2018
arms stretched out
your presence falls to dust.
clinging to lost particles
essence blows to the wind.

Never mine alone

your hot breath whispers
nape of neck scortched
tendrils embrace fragile frame.

How could you?

callous manipulation
your earworm hypnotized
siren's song to keep me at sea.

*****

satisfied by legs sprawled wide
predatory habits
engorge on sickly perfume
latte skin prefered

Why her..?
