Woke        
                   spitting Crystal
                   wanting teeth sinking lesson teaching
           your burning skin                         my heart
Still not enough               bite my own fingers
                           Til then

Months of words woven
from barest bones of almost-nothing imaginable
I've netted myself
in strands of fantasy
When i wish i could truly want
your grin to fade from my mind's eye
And a new desire take its place
I won't weave a noose this time.

I hoped it would ease
But it can always hurt more
Now you don't see me

Heart trembles on fingertips, yearning.
To extend a hand: MOMENTOUS
Our continents brush against one another
Later there will be great clashes between our oceans,
ERUPTIONS, our lands scattered and reformed.
But for now, with gentlest of touches
We draw our hearts to the surface. . .

See love's reflection
Gazing on my lover's face
I want nothing more

I want you to want me
I want you to feel with the same intensity
I want you to think of me
When you hear music
When you see a swallow
When you cook bolognaise
When you smell tigerbalm
I want you to feel secure enough
to initiate affection
I want you to surprise me
I want you to suggest things I'd never think to do
I want you to embrace
I want you not to avoid
I want you to want me more
than you want your safety
I want you to be who you are in my dreams
I want you to want me

There's a girl that comments on your profile
You use jokes i thought were ours
It's like hearing the same pick-up line used

I was at an internet booth in an arcade
My expression was too raw for the shoppers
All i could think was "out went my heart's new fire
and left it cold"

So now i sit in a restaurant with hideous buffets
being comforted by the sounds of other people eating
I can barely face a bite
My plum sauce is the same colour as the carrot
