I tick and I tock, just slightly lost
And I drink scarlet wine not for the taste, no
To silence the beats in my depth
Stop the dripping, the pain
The haze, the glamour of being a mess
The cork, the bottle just the right shape
Slick, slide it up slowly
High thing glass, sweet smell
Pretend you are something else
Wrong time zone, benzodiazepines
Plath's verses, your truths, your dares

I

Under vibrating lights
The mystique of two of us collide
Too late in the night
Speaking of home and vast distances
Your x-ray voice and venomous cynicism
Are melting

A rooftop, city under our feet
Cars screaming like wild birds
You’re touching my arm
Through bricks and cement
And solid air of defence wall

Cut and transformed, pasted in wrong places
All we ever been
New words tingle through me
This given thing is unveiling

Wrapped up in a see through metaphors
It was always here

II

Nonchalant touch, a look, a sigh
Catalyst to my complete degradation
To this state of demolishing chaos of you
Running through the boulevard of prohibited
Propinquity
Past every connotation of time
When innocence is in demise

My vows are burning me
Around my finger
I’m melting like a Wicked Witch of the West
Selling myself to this unstoppable force of Nature
This twister inside of me
With your breath in my ear, like a butterfly
Clapping its wings to start the cycle

Nerves are twitching
Skin under your hand, screaming
I hide
My head under your neck
You smell surprisingly sweet
For a tempest

Your hands are holding me against the wall
Like a prisoner of this absurd war  
I roll my eyes up to
Vermilion lights trembling above us
We’re simultaneously breathing in
Myriad of incandescent particles
Of materialized desire
World is sinking into oblivion


III**

The arch of you above me,
On your chest, suicide turned into butterflies escaping
Transforming you into my ultimate
Fall from grace

Breathing underwater, in this liquid limbo
I’m breathing in absolute fire
Between every particle of sweat is sin
My skin is inked with handprints
Bones showing

I sink in the ethereal on this cold floor
Under velvet waves
Seeing all red
Those butterflies now fling above me
Out of some fallen creatures head

Serendipity is a wonderful girl
A poet, to say the least  

Real crazy about music
Losing her mind, slipping through celestial pole
As she jumps and dance, out of control

Stopping to breath in the Garden
She giggled together with a choir of birds

Then colored some stones
Gift to a soul mate, as her love scatter
Breathing in soul to a raw matter

Ethereal smells are being woven
Voodoo magic in the kitchen

Ice is melting faster underneath her fingers
Her words are fluffy like summer clouds after rain
When sun is out again

Graceful like a wild cat
Able to read hidden emotions and secret sings

Those eyes deep like Congo River
Her laughter is a contagious swirl
Mind like Mother of Pearl

I am here little girl and I want your sugar.
Through compound eyes I looked at you. You are so large, clumsy and self-centred and I am called a pest.
I have wings, all of my kind do. Only some of you discovered an ability to fly.
I am resting on the fruits of Nature they call the fruits of they labour. What good would that labour do to them without the wholeness of Nature I am part of too?
You are waving after I slide through the air in that ridicules dance of hate and frustration. I am here because I am. It is the law, you fool.
We breed excessively too. It is not your exclusive right.
Those juices feed me just as they do feed your enormous organisms.
I am here little girl and I want your sugar.
A little bit to feed me, but I want to explore every part of it. I want to walk on it on more legs than you have.
You would feel no guilt if you smashed me, if you made a black-red smudge out of my body. I will be part of the soil again. So will you.
Walking on your skin is like walking on a dainty melon. You smell sweet. Exquisite.
Why are you so disturbed by my caressing?  
I’m sliding down you, ready to fly off. You are my runway. Be proud.
I am just like you, made from stardust.
We are partners in motion and we both have sweet tooth.
You may call me pest.
Still, I’m living, ******* the sweetness, flying and resting as and where I please.
I am here little girl and I want your sugar.

In the future life I wish to be bird or a cat
Maybe when I’m a bird and cat kills me
I’ll become the cat's young kitten
Then I would be the son of my murderer
And everything would be forever forgiven
We all want to be free
Our ways of freedom varies
It would be beautiful to be born as a bird
To the ultimate freedom of sky
It would be lovely to become a cat
I am so soft and evil

They are so fragile
They're making me drowsed
Like I’m looking at the letters
Very, very up close
When everything is still
Yet nature is raging with sounds
It feels like Heaven should feel like
I am drowning in this piece of time  
Part of me wanting to die
The other part struggling for
So familiar state of life
Katarina Arno Jul 2010
Sounds from the distance
Occupying my mind
Tickling my nerves
To change
To stay still
The burden is heavy
I scream and scream
But someone pressed mute
Silence in my soul
Raging winds in my head
Empty glances
Empty hands
Crawling and running
Falling and dancing
I’ll search till I find
My haven
