Pirouette through a graphite cocoon
Fixed clutch
Temporary disdain
Feeling undeserving of a lockdown
Car crash smile
Just keep on
selling myself
until the pieces
are gone.
Dreams alone break bones with no intention
yours too is see through just like your reflection
crave new with blood blue you taste the season
make real lies you feel and renounce all reason
drink in these sins then forget times intrusion
latch tight to fresh life and command more illusion
i stopped bleeding
bleeding the words
the feeling
i needed to write
and now
im bottled up inside

and i cant think anymore.

-r.y.s
I have to keep writing.
she chewed through my ribs
& attached me to wings

subsistent, pretending
I don't need a thing

she pushed through my body
propelling a shriek

her hand fits me close
& her sleep fit my sheets

but I'm done with she's perfect
I'm shrinking in blinks
& I'm sick of this
balancing stilts built on dreams

& I've stopped all this tripping
my shoes are on tight
but I'll  
fall asleep
hoping
you slept good tonight

Mellow the sea tide inching in
nibbling the shoreline
swishing kelp and swapping shells
stealing footprints
and time.

A lazy pen crawls the page
lapping gradually from margin's line
an inky gull's opportunist eye
scavenging the scene
with a rhyme.
What do you do when the voices start to agree?

Water drips from you
like rivers of gold,
cascading down your body
like an endless waterfall.
I want to drink you up,
and quench the thirst
that burns the back of my throat.

What relationship
taught me was
every mutual
happening
will get factored.
like
any good thing
graph go up
any bad thing
graph come down
when you want
separation,....
the stage
where
all good and bad
already got factored
So,
no more going back.
