" Vivid"
Our Hearts get Vivid to each other
Wish to hold on tight and tighter,
But tight than tighter,
Wish to Neologism unspoken
Loveish words, to explain my feelings.

"Vivid"
I need unconditional vivid love
I got to keep it real vivid...

Mother of the Moon,
Shaman of the Sun.
Extracting all the darkness
from the eyes of everyone.
Draining hue from skin,
Soft soulful bones.
Shadows of her velvet cloak
follow footsteps home.
The witch amidst the forest,
The light within our palms.
Dwindling breaths confide
in the cold before the calm.
Bearing portals in her womb,
Maternal one, obtuse and sweet.
A smiling jaw (phenomenal),
will lull your dance of life to sleep.

the jaunty flight of a Butterfly
dip and dive of the Swallow
lines of poetry in the air
the silent weaving of love
remembered around a winters fire
the storyteller, the bard,
a book of verse, a poets songs.

it’s in between stations
on the 9:32 train out of the city
studying windows for facets of urban legacy
forcing my thoughts away from you
and the streaks in your hair which decide
your new future
a safe transformation
removing every bad thing that’s come your way

I can’t say you’re the one that got away
when I never had you to begin with
this is the ending where beginnings and middles
are of no value
for surrounding the way you smiled
and laughed when I said something witty
were the tone deaf words
shattering the wonder
where the “someone else” you find
is the first and possibly the last
where you don’t need to fall in love again

a few photos are enough
to declare this vision you always wanted
from the way his arms find you
and the way you relax into them

how maybe he takes you to bars where the music isn’t too loud
and the drinks are affordable
you can share everything with him and only him
each secret you’ve been dying to share

if I exist even as an afterthought
in the pages which don’t need revisiting
only the close of a chapter unattached to the narrative
if I ever told you you were perfect
it may have been a mistake
I can’t pretend those are original words
and I’m the first one to love you
I can’t pretend I’m the story that will become timeless
and you can’t pretend you’ll read any of this
since every poem you heard from me
whether or not you truly loved it
it always had the potential to break you
there was a sense of staying power
and you simply wanted out

with that came the "once upon a time" you
wished would come to life
safe in its innocence
never needing to be questioned

when the train finds its destination
and sends me off into the night
it could be the final page
the ambiguous ending
to a story which never began

You're better off on your own
With no one to bust your pieces
As you try to fix your home

Brewing over a cup of steaming coffee,
And warm, fluffy, syrupy pancakes,
Our chemistry could be the perfect recipe
For a weekend romantic escapade.

Grand tales of eternal, undying love
I really, can not promise you,
But my giggles around you are real,
The new stride in my step is true!

And every time my eager eyes
Communicate with your smiling ones,
My winter-heart heaves sighs so deep,
I sometimes fear you could hear them!

So, wrapped in mufflers and woolly caps,
Come, laugh along at my red-tipped nose,
And live a short-lived fairy tale with me,
Who knows, we may just outlast the snows!

There's a new town house on
the old town square
which wasn't there before.

I think Santa's a builder
or
a miracle maker

she walks from the alley
over wet lottery tickets, chesterfield butts
and empty gypsy rose wine bottles.
but truth lies in forgetfulness and
even the stars bleed dust.

I smile to greet her.

I smile as she lifts my throat to heaven.
I smile even as the razor skates across my neck...

and she's following you too...sucker...

the BIG! dream

You're so beautiful
You're amazing
You're my Disney princess
Lies!

Lie to me again
I dare you.
Tell me you want me again
I dare you.

Break me down
Threaten me.
Overpower me and
Try to **** me.

Do it all over again
I dare you.
Tell me I'm your world again
I dare you.

Honey you don't know
What love is.
Don't act like you do.

Love and lust
Are two different things.
One is comprised of beauty
The other of pain.

Iv been there before
Been pushed to the ground.
I got back up
And I'm standing proud.

You attempt to contact me.
But darling it's pointless.
You don't deserve a place
In my heart or in my life.

I gave u 3 months,
Which went from heaven
To hell.
You proved your worth.

Worth nothing more
Than a pile of crap,
That's all your words and lies were,
A load of ****.

Don't try and come back,
I won't reply
I won't give u the satisfaction.
I'll make you wish you died!!

B-/W-itches
Burn to the ground.

But I guarantee,
I'm the best at burning bridges,
So show me to the shambled mess,
And I'll ignite a fire
So very bright.

Because I'd rather suffocate
Than hear their names again.

I'd rather drown on the smoke
From when I burn the bridge down,
Than let petty brats walk along the planks again.

I'll burn that bridge
With them on it.

I'll ignite a flame so bright,
Ignite your plastic promises,
And throw the embers to the wind.
