Imagine
All the lives
I’ve lived and
Things I’ve seen
Gone by noon, dizzy
As a dream, fevered
Bodies clutching
Clammy skin, oh,
Dear. Oh, my.
Please, wake me.

Cursed child,
Whisper your sorrows
To unforgiving
Water and
Drain your tears

Wash the blood
And the dirt from your
Hands to purify
This pain and
Pacify your soul

i had a dream of us
aged like the finest wine,
one comes to the other
looking for the knowing glances
and careful smiles

underneath all of
the time we spent apart
lays a love so untouched
and so bright
it may blind us both

at the end
of the night
my mind falls
back to you

fingers tracing
over a
shiny pink scar,
healed memories
from a
lifetime ago

dear cosmic wound,
this achingly
profound pain, twist
the knife and still,
I will beg you
to stay

I can only hope that
When you see me,
You cant see the hunger
In my eyes because
Beneath my gentle smile
And nervous fingers
Lays a clawing desperation
Veiled by calmness,
Fraying at the edges

Please,
Do me a favor
And look away

at the end of the world,
when the future isn't looming above us
all we will have is each other
and beneath the night sky
we can watch the world turn
and relive the bitter melancholy
of what once was

-a poem for my sister

You're gone, and the stage
Is set for heartbreak
The world dims and my
Heart dulls.
Or sharpens?
I’m sorry,
I’m so cold.

My mind frenzies
When I look to
What’s ahead, but
When
My thoughts
Drift back
To you
I am
Content.

In talks with the moon
I whisper into
Night air, I would go
Wherever you go

Call it foolish
To put my heart
Beneath your sword
So, silly me,
Because I
Would just like
To feel
Something
