The permeation of my shadow
Beckons a new dawn
Upon the moonlight
Which shrouds my soul.

But it’s only in the day,
That I can clearly see
The dripping carnage,
Which was once me.

Speak

You speak to my heart,
In languages I never knew
Fingertips like velvet,
Tracing worlds into my skin
One touch set ablaze,
My weary soul
Oh what a solace,
To spend a lifetime searching for freedom
To find that freedom exists,
Within the confines of the smallest hands
And you… The unsayer of gray
You, speaker of colors and magic
The calm after the storm,
Promising the breath of a new morning
Safety found in a quiet smile,
A gentle squeeze
Eloquently you conduct harmonies,
Across my body
Plucking my every heart string,
A resonance warm and welcome
You speak to my heart,
In languages I never knew

A cup of tea

I poured myself
inside your cup
pretended to be tea
your lips pursed to the rim
burning kiss
bile churns
you forgot
I'm made of sins

I never liked Romeo and Juliet
But I’m okay with crashing-
just let me crash and burn in your arms
Let’s try to touch the sun
before we know what’s good for us
Let the wax melt and hold me close
Let the feathers and tears fall  
Because at least we can say-
We flew
Let’s reach the sun tonight

i divorced myself
she took the child, the tulips
and me—she took me
outside, the city weeps

gusts flip open a
book and sea comes barging out
i drown into me
i drown i drown i drown
