i wish the earth would move
one inch to the left
so i could see the monster, fused
to the shadow, best.
and curl my toes in moonshine
breathless...
stuck in dark luck
and black mirth -
and forget.

But that Lens between the Sun and the Ant
is your Soul.
a less obvious fact,
but a tragedy
in the hands of the oblivious.
for we
are too young
to know the horror of our stupidity...
but

to
see through
it all
is  not
the point.


it's the knife
from nothing

and
the clouds don't see the weather
for they'd rather be the storm
and reign.

than feed flowers.
Encased in slow gold, and older than clocks -
the rot sets, and the 'shrooms
bloom lots
stuck to the heel of our trot
across the fog clot
and how lovely
are we now
so frightened ?
how precious
are the things
we dismember
for holding ?
and how loved
are the things
we love
perhaps ?

I long for adventure with you,
over and over
again.
Her mind is like a universe.
She's a soul,
but still a human first.
To be whole,
she must grow from birth.
Till her last day,
she's here to learn.
Here to earn,
and not return.
The bad, she's had.
The goods in turn.
Her heart could burn,
and shouldn't work.
I’ll spark the flame,
it couldn’t hurt.
The stars don't fall,
they shoot at earth.
I'm the future of what’s new to her.
Beauty oozes from her humor,
but she’s a rebel just like Lucifer.
She’s the Devil, level nuclear.
Her presence, omnipresent.

*Represented by a ruler fueling
love* like it’s a weapon.
Leave a door open for us
Even a crack will do

And I'll leave my window latch unlocked

****, boy
I really do miss you.
Feeling rather melancholy tonight
Yours was once the voice I yearned to hear,
The face I looked for when I woke
And my favourite reason for smiling.

An addict to my phone only for checking to see if you messaged.

You don't message anymore.

How did to become reality that I no longer share every moment of my meaningless day with you?

Who speaks with you now?
Who fills your free time with mindless chatter coupled with the loving whispers of the devoted?

I don't.

I am left to wonder where we went wrong;
If love is not enough then what,
My dear,
Is the ******* point?

I can see my pain mirrored in the wet tears that fall from your shocked eyes.

Neither saw this coming,
But it was my 'strength' that ruptured the fissures of our personal issues.
Cracks allow the sun to shine through?
No; cracks are what love falls into,
Lost child in the well too deep for cries for help to be heard.

Leaving me a shell, empty of hope,
You, filled with regrets
And us just another tragic tale of love gone wrong,
But I am not Romeo and you are not Juliet
Thus we must live with our sweet parting.

are you still breathless?
the wind is caught in my throat,
and your words choke me.
this hurt.
