A church mouse’s despondent muse
Is like a fuse
Melting as soon as it features in its brain
It does potentiate a pitiless migraine.
Bubbly spring in its step
A misstep
Seemingly a rare occurrence
Like a snow ball in hell, perchance.
A truce
With Zeus
To spare it
Bedeviling suited for a society’s #misfit.
Poor....poor church mouse
It's too poor to afford
the elusive luxury of hopelessness
are we thus rich enough
to afford it??????

We leaned across the lines
I looked you dead in the eye
You looked straight back into mine
Then the sparks began to fly

This was the first time
-With our features so aligned
I’d ever felt inclined
To cross the line and kiss you
And let the flames rise higher!

You confide
A secret crush
And lips collide.

Conscience slaps libido
Tasting party tongue
You're all undone.

Pounding beat
Shaky feet
Fizzing heart
Fall apart.

Tomorrow is analysis,
Dissection, and dismay.
Tonight is heady chaos, and delight, and disarray.

Oil fumes
wove with
that burst of laughter
so sought after
by my blood
pumper
thump, thump
my god
what is this?
Can it be
I'm finally
ready to
breathe out
love
again?

I fantasize too much
I always imagine love
and the craziest scenarios
like, get these thoughts
out of my head
and keep them
locked away
far from
my mind
please

Tu silencio
Es mejor
Que tus mentiras
Ya me cansé
De ti
Y como tiras
Mi corazón
A la tierra
No aguanto
Nada más
De tus
Juegos de la mente
No quiero saber
Nada más
Sobre ti y la gente
Con quien
Estás
Quitate
De mi vida
Nunca quiero
Oir de ti
Por nuevo
Some things are better said in Spanish. A more emotional and passionate language.

Translation:
Title: Broken
"Your silence
Is better
Than your lies
I am tired
Of you
And how you throw
My heart
To the ground
I can't stand
Any more
Of your
Mind games
I don't want to know
Any more
About you and the people
With whom
You are with
Get yourself out
Of my life
I never want
To hear from you
Again"

Cadence Musick
she had long hair
that fell like ragweeds
across skin of soil
measuring deep.
the water came and eroded her lips away
and the seaweed got stuck in her throat
so she looks on with wide owl eyes
silent as falling snow.

You were my heart
But in that endless pulsing rhythm
I got lost in translation

I filled my blood with nicotine
To keep myself as far from
The truth of you
As I could

But every buzz wears off sometime
Leaving us listening only
To a single near silent refrain:
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"I'm sorry..."
