We have even died 'together'
in my imagination.

i think i'll remember you forever
like the sun lights up her sky
just to see the earth breathe
she never takes anything in return

especially on her moon
where all her love lies.

i think i'll love you forever
harder than the rain falls in a storm
longer than all the river forms
compare it to an ocean and i'll go deeper

especially for you, my love,
to whom all my adoration lies.

and i think i'll miss you forever
like the stars miss the morning skies
like the trees lose her leaves in autumn
like the sun waits to take a peek

of how her flowers bloom in summer.

Sometimes
The words pour out
A beautiful symphony
Letters entwine my skull
Choke me with their simple
Elegance
Some see it as writing
I see it as
A beautiful death
A necessary one.

But other times
The emptiness is what
Overwhelms me
The profound absence
Of ink on paper
The maddening sensation
Of paralysis
Grips me
As my gentle fingers
Shake
Helpless and
Longing.

Flighty
Choppy
Pieces and parts
They never come together
Quite right

Like a puzzle
Missing all of its pieces
Was it even a puzzle to begin with?

You cannot make something
Out of nothing.

Sleep is only a haven
For those having something
To escape in their
Waking hours.

Cold sweat,
Jolting shock
Body wrenching
Soul crying out
For internal relief

The angel holds you
In her tired grip

Half dead
Half awake
Between two worlds
Pick your poison.

Restful restlessness
Peaceful horror
Stable madness

Freedom from all others
Trapped within
One's self.
