A torrent flows
       tumultuously toward the sea.
Tales recounting of
       rivers run and rapids
Swum. Awaiting the arrival
       of the untamed.
Wolves wander
       with her. Reclaiming
Untouched wilderness,
       which waits for our return.

After all the things
He spent with me… I was
Never a note — a flower — only
A brief connecting flight.
I am not the type
Clinging to security — yet —
What once were fingers
On delicate hand, are
Crooked — Clawing.
Howbeit his snake coiled,
Relents its wring. And slow release…
Relieves my grief.

A hard hit.
      
        Smoke hangs
low, slowly slithering
       from a cracked smile.
Her vexed and vacant
       visage is frozen
for a moment...

and her glossy eyes, glazed
      with frigid gloom, dilate.
Expelling expired air
      she hacks in exoneration,
as if some spirit's
       clutch surrendered
her soul, shaking
       her skeletal frame
in a passionate
       fit of unbridled hate.

She relaxes in her recliner...

       relief.

Lost yourself
Tossed yourself
Out the ******* door

Where you went
Who you are
Kicked across the floor

The one I know
The one I love
Is nowhere to be found

It’s like I took your heart
Ripped it out
And smashed it on the ground

It’s not my fault
I know I can’t
Control the way you heal

I never can
And never will
Feel the way you feel

Now you’re gone
You’ve lost your spark
I never want to call

I tried so hard
To keep you here
I gave my ******* all

Too bad
So sad
You had to go and change

Now it’s me who’s gone
I don’t feel bad
Was never playing games

I hope you know I love you
You can see it in my eyes
I giggle when you kiss me and
Leave love marks on my thighs.

I cannot voice my thoughts aloud
You know I cannot say
I love you dear, I always will
I’m just not quite that brave.

We said it once, we said it twice
We said it every day.
And even though it’s comfortable
It’s just not quite the same.

It’s better now, I can’t describe
The way you make me feel.
It felt so strange not having you,
But now my heart can heal.

When I see your face and hear your laugh,
My heart feels fully free.
Every time you touch my hair
I’m happy as can be.

But I cannot say I love you yet
I must admit I’m scared.
But know until I’m ready to
The love was always there.

Riddle
Subtle
And guarded

Quiet
Reserved
And shy

Flip

***
Lover
And wildfire

Hot
Sweaty
A high

Skilled
A thrill
Electric stilling time

Slow
Melting kisses
Trailing up my thigh

— The End —
