pluviophile
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

glass
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

Nautical Nights
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

Dark Corridor
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

Emerald Eyes
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

(B)etrayal of (S)
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..?

Se7en
aria xero Aug 2018
PRIDE
Tower beneath me,
superior in nature.
All hail thee, your queen.

ENVY
Abduct ideas,
no regard for you,
I will take everything.

WRATH
Revenge is the price,
pay with your life spiteful *****,
I am watching you.

SLOTH
Sluggish movement bound,
tethered to grotesque slowness,
apathetic dream.

GLUTTONY
Gorge on thoughts,
emotions spew like red ash,
bloated flesh.

GREED
Desire unchained,
rapacious need in luxury
predator of seize.

LUST
Appetite of ***,
lasciviousness in high,
demand arousal.

Hypothermia
aria xero Jul 2017
Brush fire,
feverish fervor
drowned.
Hands cup my face,
fingers coil around loose tendrils,
lips plunge into cold water immersion.
Heart stops,
voltaic pulses converge,
burst avidity.

Can't stop.

False affection,
eidolon.
Mouth sewn,
pushed under,
yearned for truth.

Thinking about you.

Eyes wide open,
phantom tether
grasp unto nothing.
All becomes dust.

tell me
aria xero May 2017
Tell me
has the wind whispered through your bones
the way your fingers fall between the strands of my hair.
do the leaves drift abound suspended in flight
as your heart flutters captured in time.

Tell me
do my ardent advances tremble your able will,
has my unyielding touch coerced such affections,
will our embrace yet come at last,
can lips crash into raw ardor.

Tell me
can this go on

On-Roading
aria xero Oct 2015
Waves.
Swirling pools of salted tomorrow
Lapping away moonlit sand.
Scorched wood burned new acquaintances
As carmelled smoke rose to the heavens.
Fabric embraces heated with warmth of
Liquid confidence, the night shone with rings .

Dunes.
Massive excitement tumbled across layers of
Memories now particles against the sun.
Laughter abundant outstretched to heights
With stomachs knotted flown like birds.

October yeilds rays of joy
New love cascading thoughts
Surprises await dawn for the future.

(U)S
aria xero Jun 2015
A gaze of frozen adoration
Longed for bitter sweet adolescence.
One word from harmonious lips
Entangled boiling nerves
Hives of seduction splotched.
Faded shadowed figure lingers
Streaked heart yearning for unbearable
Amorous addiction.
Left teetering on reality
My dream is superfluous.

Eternally Silvered Sapphire
aria xero Sep 2014
Dark waters ripple thought.
horse drawn carriage tread
voltaic wires, throbbing brain.
lorn elation until osculation
of lips dreamt nightly.
nectarous skin float
between fingers raptured.
everlasting sand blown
from ashes wrought with
doubt.
paroxysm of senses like electric eels
wreck ties bound by vituperation.
Breath like honeyed vapor,
encased rouged cheeks.
savored time in bottles, minutes
turned to minerals mined.
hours of golden flecks
splashed in synthesized
unison.
New always, love evermore.
aria xero May 2014
terror in portals of rapture
twin mirrors reflect possible dolor
untrusting, yet entwined
so amenable.
immediate submergence,
reverence of marred flesh
intelligible infatuation inevitable.
howbeit, efflorescence devotion
find a way through;
transude into pores
inebriated in their fumes.
reverie becomes eternal sleep.

Duress
aria xero Feb 2014
Mind rot,
syllables of flawless flakes
decay, scouring brain waves
feasting on this confusion.

Sewn lips stretch to make sound
knees buried in dirt,
worms burrow their holes
deep within heart.

Gnawed off fingertips
claw breathless air,
your shadow lingers
but for a second.

shadow
aria xero Nov 2013
I dont know where to go
Blind to this new
Fog clouds my path
Im searching for you

Your love was exposed
Too hurt to be fooled
You tried to stand tall
When inside you were torn

Lied to your heart
Another day faded
You walked toward the dark
Consumed by the hatred

I dont know where to go
Blind to this new
Fog clouds my path
Im searching for you

I tried to connect
Drank poison from wine
Your scars wont detach
Youre giving up on you

Ill be your shadow
Be there by your side
Save light from the dark
Mend your broken heart

I dont know where to go
Blind to this new
Fog clouds my path
Im searching for you
Im searching...

Loss Prevention
aria xero Jun 2013
Sweat brow perculates,
unmastered tongue erased all evidence,
moist palms dripping anxious thoughts.
pursed lips crackled and dry
flow words like rapids,
blink open eyes crusted by innocence
each scar buried in rock,
fracture and fault.
heart uplifted bent in regrets,
memories unconformities,
missing from sight.
flash to love, metamorphosed in time
growing, blending to crystals born.
layered finely touched in pain,
like grains lithify
ossify,
remain untouched, preserved
in stone jointed connections made.
meandering tears entrenched down-cutting
cheeks, bone exposed to roots.
once deposited feeling, now eroded to nothing,
blown by winds unforgiving
these days pass like eons.

aria xero Jun 2013
Thou whispers called
caress thy ear
in melodic symphony,
beckon to thine soul.

Explore thine being,
fingertips lacerate thy skin
in pleasurable waves
thou cry in ecstasy.

Pools of sapphire gold
radiate into pores
thou lips have kissed
in passionate winds.

Breathe life upon these bones
for thou shall be enchanted
in tender grace
of ardorous plea.

Weeping Willows
aria xero May 2013
I'm addicted to crying,

for salty droplets of regret

to drip across my cheeks.

Craving dampened promises

to rain down from my blood stricken eyes.

Wanting to peel away at my flesh.

Tainted by words unclean.

Filthy fingers of actions taken

silence screams of breath,

running their nails from nape to chest

opening trenches infected by whispers.

Lies seep from oozing wounds

festering from the tears shed

that hit the floor like toxic waste

eating up memories like acid

to pictures engulfed in flames.

I'm addicted to crying.

Breathless
aria xero May 2013
Breathless
We kissed.
His lips a tantalizing tingle of electric satisfaction.
I needed more.
Fingers explored each groove of his spine,
Farther down to the worn hem of his jeans.
His warmth
Volcanic
As we closed the gap between us.
He smiled when our faces touched gently.
His eyes,
Pools of blue chilled my blood only to boil when skin brushed skin.
There was no scintilla of hesitation maneuvering underneath.
A willing victim of our ardor.
He smelt of sun.
His hands caressed my face as we continued to intertwine.
I thought of teasing him with a light lick.
Bit him instead.
We progressed further.
His voice like cream as we whispered into each other.
We fit,
As my head rested upon his chest listening his heart pumping faster.
Such comfort in falling, you forget when it hurts.

The Last

you burn aglow
with sweetness unbound
a lasting impression
you leave me
butterflies a flow.

Voltaic Melody of Soul
aria xero May 2013
Bring me your tired souls,
Of flesh burned
Marked limbs with numbers,
Age is nothing to me.

Still thy beating heart
Your song trembles,
Words of melody
Writes thy voice.

To thee a single petal
Of motionless thought,
Coalesce into thine mind,
You are the one.

Surging distress,
Lament one’s dying love.
For thy heart beckons
It’s hymn to me.

Indulge thyself
Into the sea.
Searching for love’s
True self.

Who, am I.
I am then
For what I should be
Could be
Would be
Now, not before,
If I ever was.
When now is near, not far,
And why is I,
Too many times ago.
But always I am thee,
Me and we in past tense
For tomorrow is merely
An hourglass.

aria xero Jan 2013
you held my hand as if it were gold,
precious strokes of calm caressed by fingers
reassured waves of adoration.

soft fabric brushed flushed cheeks
burrowed in infatuation.
all i can think about,

Till Life Brings Us Death
aria xero Dec 2012
Memories flood hearts....
Cascading wet tears over jagged sides...
Clench into fists, nails corroded with rot ....
Trembling lips part, release suffocated sounds....
Knees buckle to the floor....
Heated face stopping leaky eyes....
Wind sweeps knocking hands to clear stained boards....
Resonating chill reverberates off walls....
Eyes shut tight....
Fingers clutch weeping pump....
Allocate from edges blunt....
Dismembered morsel lay....
Rouge gushing, layered thin ....
Lifeless, body breathes....
One arm stretched out....
The heart continues to beat…....

Thoughts of Maybe
aria xero Dec 2012
I thought of love when I saw your face....
Staring into eyes....
Butterflies scrambled....
Earth moved two places to the right....
Dizzy haze crawled around us....
Face flustered....
Your eyes looked me over....
I searched for words ....
Moving  lips, nothing emerging....
Knees weakened....
Body tensed....
Sense of comfort swelled....
You would be mine....
Static packed kiss....
Warmth of your body....
Love and nothing else....
Everything wiped blank....
A new slate...
For you to create....
I was yours…you were mine....
Sweet smell lingered on your every piece....
Remember....
Dark images of memories....
Race in my head…
I thought of love when I saw your face....

write me a poem
paint it with words that light up the page
make it glow like the fireflies we saw
on that august night

write me an epic
with a profligacy of pages
that flow to the floor like the stream
we ran through
on that august night

write me a ballad
sing it to your hearts content
let it ride the wind and float across the sky
like the stars we gazed at
on that august night

write me a sonnet
pour out your thoughts
have them dance beyond the clouds
into the sea
like the kiss you gave me
on that august night

royal flush
aria xero Dec 2012
ace of spades aint good enough
throw out jokers
conteract homicidal daggers.
blood diamonds adorn queen
necks perched in high nests.
tar slicked jacks
blow clovers clumped
in sickly drips of black.
kings present hearts of gold
wrapped in tin foil
pricked with poison potent.
Suits one to four
draw a card
place your bet
21
it's over.
aria xero Dec 2012
first she kissed
but on lips, only images
of truth remained.
she is now stained
with love so spontaneous
that she cried in the night.
her lips have betrayed her
a knife against heart.
she screamed "I'm in love"
words shot with arrows
molding your being like
fingertips tp edges.
she's stuck in love for all time
days, months, years
she was she.
but still, she continues to feel
remembers his face
those eyes of curt stillness.
from his gaze silence
tears fell, hot against cheeks
she remembers love as lips pressed to lips.
his response, her left sitting alone.
she tried to remember love before
but it was a mark, those arrows struck to a chest
hearts empty in death
love remembers though
that one kiss, that stain
she knew was love.

Song Infringement
aria xero Dec 2012
Let's talk about *** baby...
Well tell her that I miss our little talks,
And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
If you escaped what I've escaped, you'd be in Paris getting ****** up too
Baby, Baby, Baby oh... like baby, baby, baby no
Can you forgive the things I do, that I can't amend?
Through the causes of my mistakes,
You'll never know dear how much I love you.
Floating down a raging river,
Maybe then I can learn to swim like 13 miles away.
You left my soul bleeding in the dark,
I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby...don't leave me this way.
Touch me and then turn away,
Never gonna give you up.
Life's too short to even care at all oh,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa I want to be with you.
This is my love song to you.
And how can I stand here with you,
I should be over all the butterflies,
Oh, and it's only you, yeah, it's only you.

Contract Lover
aria xero Dec 2012
Weakness greets our calling cards
burning holes through the eye sockets
of our avenged lovers.
Rain arrows down upon those who
have lied through gritted teeth
spouting out cavity infested promises.
Smothered in flames, you will roast
In hell along with the tears you have summoned.
Happy now? As your tongue splits in half devouring
the grotesque shape your face has become.
Crumble to ash, you acid laced a**hole.
Suffocated breaths, gasp into clouds of rot
just like the tentacles you touched me with.
Deteriorating flesh flakes scales unfolding
the sinister serpent of your inner core.
You **** the essence out of life draining every last
drop, blood splatters rippling into sound.
Happy now? Your love was only a business card
And now I belong to you.

aria xero Dec 2012
Ring, why? Significant...
Maybe. Serpentine, constricting

Polished neatly...not really
Worn by arguments tarnished

Smooth contact, rough punctures
Green stains of hurt bury deep

“promise me” was written
Only “not today” is screamed

Ring, why? Accepting apologies
Too late to return a gesture made

Hollowed now, diamonds forever?
Maybe. Should of thought

Commitment tomorrow
Tonight is dry, this ring, why?

The birds and the bees
aria xero Nov 2012
rejection stings
birds before bees
you leave me at the end of a very thin string.
marionette fitting of your puppetry,
subservient to every deception,
you had me on my toes, yearning.
naive is the bird who believes
that bees understand her song,
exposed affection like down feathers
bees gather to gorge themselves,
weep honey unto selfish wings.
you: wasp, hunter of self indulgence,
I: bird, dreamer of ignorant bliss.

Deep in the rain
each droplet traces the creases in your face,
melting the smile that held for a year.
never good enough.
your hands became faded,
frozen with difference.
gray shadowed pigments.
never good enough.
empty eyes of blank paper
underlined in tired sadness,
you stared at me.
never good enough.
those lips of red wine liquor
now pale roses of wilted colour,
foreign taste of discomfort.
never good enough.
you walked away, head turned
forgeting us, each step erasing memories
you left me in the rain.
why wasn't i good enough?

Maybe these wonders

that float by the bed

of the wandering traveler

will ever find peace

to the rivers it washed

on the shore of tomorrow

but the train has departed

time itself frozen

in ice-trays for scalding

hot yesterdays

lollipop remnants

askew in the hallway

of this rundown shack

rewind the

disk so as to portray

all the shame felt

by this day

we say Hello..

hands waved to the sky

as rainbows descend

heaven above like wings

white as the

snow, but pure like

nothing seen before

we dance...

mixtures of speech

blend like smoothies

of strawberry finess

every stripe, every spot make

the gold seams of the dress

stars wear. year

after year it grows

to burst with

confetti they float and

we stare...

blankly each moment

is blurred

muddy images pierce the walls

drip do they fall like rain

on the ground covered in

petals and petals of flowers

so red but yellow

we hug...

I'm waking up to the sound of your voice

the touch of your lips

the smile on your face that lifts me up

knowing you're here with me

come with me to forever

and there we will stay together



It's time to soar up to the stars

and forget all the pain

it's the beginning of a new start

breaking free and flying to infinity



I take you in my arms

we kiss and all is forgotten

knowing you're all I need

come with me to forever

and there we will stay together



It's time to soar up to the stars

and forget all the pain

it's the beginning of a new start

breaking free and flying to infinity



I watch you sleep

and think how much you mean to me

knowing you're all I see

come with me to forever

and there we will stay together



It's time to soar up to the stars

and forget all the pain

it's the beginning of a new start

breaking free and flying to infinity

LOVE
aria xero Nov 2012
an illusion of the heart

it clouds your eyes

to the simple signs

that lead to the lies

of this broken art



a parasite of the mind

you believe this is bliss

from the first to last kiss

as you start to dismiss

the fact you are blind



so fly with your wings

and escape from that stage

to become quite assuaged

beyond all that rage

that's attached by strings



disintegrating, piece by piece

you start to decay

still smiling everyday

unaware you were just prey

to this creature who continues to feast



thus when the time is deserved

speak loud and clear

and ignore all the leer

from them and your peers

and all the attempts to make you unnerved



while the ties have been cut

and your vision has cleared

you're no longer adheared

to the leech that appeared

to be more than you thought



still this cycle remains

with the exception of few

who stick together like glue

but that will be you

when, vanished is the pain

im waking up beside your heart

you feel warm to the touch

i breathe you in



i fight the urge to blink

for fear that you might disappear

alone in my head



you whisper in my ear

and i tingle from the neck down

"i want you"



that's all you say

that's all you've ever said

tell me..

when does "i love you" come in?



i've loved you

i love you

i will love you



but you're not really there

fantastical is this fantasy of false addiction

when instead you feed my affliction



you're killing me slowly

and all i can do is gasp

for the air that will never come



so please, just let me go

release me from my delusions

and i will be set free

She Tried To Remember
aria xero Nov 2012
She tried to remember when she first knew she was in love

but words on her lips were only false images

the truth was

she could not remember

love was spontaneous

like the pigments in the night sky

a rush emotion that enters her brain

as if a wave had crashed against a cliff side

they say that when you are in love

cupid shoots you with his arrows

and that poison molds into your being

as if it were the oxygen you breathe

it begins to tingle from the points

of your finger tips down to the edges

of your toes



she did not remember an exact time

or day

or month

or year

what she remembered was how she felt

how she still feels

and how she will continue to feel

she remembers his face when she told him

it was sad

a longing that stretched from his eyes to hers

he looked pained

but smiled curtly anyway



she remembers her tears

they bled from her eyes

as he stayed silent

they felt like hot rain against her cheeks

her love was being poured out

she remembers his eyes

as he kneeled in front of her

to gently press his lips against her fingers

she remembers his empty response

and the look of hurt as he

left her sitting there

alone



she tried to remember when she first knew she was in love

but all she can remember is the mark that arrow made

when it struck her to the chest

she knows her heart isn't empty anymore

in fact it is absent

she knows she will fight for the love

she remembers

and that one day she will remember

when she first knew she was in love

Amazing
aria xero Nov 2012
it's amazing

amazing to think how far i've fallen

fallen for the athlete

the jokester

the ace

my best friend



it's amazing how we met

a tumble in the grass

and what happened next

was history



it's amazing how you loved me

how we shared

and held on tight

hoping we'd stay together

all day and all night



it's amazing that i'm ignorant

of how i felt about you and us

that i couldn't see the bond

or how you loved me



it's amazing that i let you go

cut our ties and drowned in sorrow

being selfish all for nothing



it's amazing how much i miss you

when you speak

or pass me by



it's amazing how much it hurts

to see you happy

to feel my heart bleed out to you

when we speak



it's amazing how i love you

but it's too late

too soon

not right

oh well



it's amazing how i'll keep trying

trying to win your heart

trying to see your smile

always trying

it's truely amazing
aria xero Nov 2012
You scream help

but no one listens

absence only lingers

pushing at your bones



tears become waterfalls

descending into muffled cries

you grab at your seams

scratching away the rose colored stains



please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

I'm going under

so won't somebody hear me



Scathing cold eyes

bore into the black abyss

awaiting the silent terrain

of each ticking moment



You shutter violently

trembling before your pain

the lines scorch your skin

as they burrow deeper and deeper



Please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

I'm going under

so won't somebody hear me



Pleading and needing

a sound to escape

this wanting desire

just aches to be made

I'm crawling inside

my heart beating along

please hear me someone

for I'm not alone



Please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

so won't somebody hear me

please, won't somebody hear me

Confusion Treads In Water
aria xero Nov 2012
Exhausted, each letter drops

from my head to my feet

a blank screen behind these eyes

why?

understanding is futile

and wondering is growing weak

wanting, waiting

empty wishes

fall like ash

clouding my judgement.

just a fox and a hound

evading my pursuits

i'm left without your hand

warmth, smile, touch, breath

ingredients to your heart.

Mystified, my haze injects into my mind.

uncontrollable

my blood squirms

with a single thought

her...

polished, porcelain doll

of mocha caramel flavor

painted happiness, internal despair

all i ever think about.

waking moments reflect daydream hopes

dreaming scenes

of tomorrow

a ghost, a whisper on her neck

she'll never know.

adorn skeletal masks
suffocating your mangled breath
as curled fingertips scrape against dirt.

Flesh, charred and soiled
hangs brilliantly from serrated bark.
Bleached bone barbed at the spine
where charcoal dragons dig infected beaks to feast.

A single mountain of shadow stands
before lacerated skies
a portal of inviting mayhem and madness
concrete pathways twist to its starving mouth.

Horned beasts hobble on disfigured limbs
dragging their sins across heated ground.
Hungry for souls dipped in blood
the scent of rot disperses like fog.

Rickety witches stir boiling cauldrons
with ossified tendrils,
saliva oozes from cracked lips
as you're watched from a distance.

No escape from the blackened sludge
as it wraps on the nape of your neck,
gurgle out pitiful screams of fright,
welcome to halloween.

Traveler dare to be bold
Gobble up future remnants always
Backwards path, he wanders alone.

Porcelain Waters
aria xero Oct 2012
The porcelain tiles felt chilled
against my bare back,
each one crawling
injecting into the pores of
my skin, they scalded into
the core of my bones.
Water lavished twin bodies,
Scorching feet and
exploding senses,
they ran across naked
forms, exploring every inch
just like our lust soaked fingertips.
We stood close, breath
shared between us,
Chests heaved in anticipation
as we became drenched
in the moment.
He grabbed my hair
in messy fistfuls,
Lips dripping
with flavor, his taste
was infectious as it seeped
into every inch of my being
we merged, one
like the sun sinks into the ocean.
I sank into him, giving myself
all of myself to ecstasy.
Like a drug, I was addicted
as each finger danced across his spine.
We dove in together
gasping at every breath
clawing at the rapture stained tiles
twisted hands entangled
squeezing for release
over waves of unrelenting pleasure.
A soft cry shot through
our submerged affair
awakening rolling figures
we became still, the rain
continuing to tap upon ourselves.
A single touch from his lips
expressed agony later to come
As we lay together on that
Still porcelain tile.

Through Rose Colored Lenses
aria xero Oct 2012
oblivious remarks pierce the air like arrows
they fly around our heads
like sugar plum fairies
waiting to strike at our dreams

words exchanged they hang
empty, soaked in underlying emotions
coated with expectancy
they fall

shattered looks of pained expression
melt away broken hearts
we stare through to each soul
bruised by poison rain

gaps of glass
tread cautiously
to barred soul
untamed

release the beast inside
revive emotions drowned
by whispers tainted
you are the one

a single touch and bonded
our roused lips laced
moving in sync to the beat of
our undying hearts

our eyes meet
locked in a trance
and we know
forever is just a moment away
