peace, peace,
hummed the moon,
as she looked down upon you,

quiet, quiet,
hummed the stars,
as the dying ones whipped,
from up far.

hush now, hush now,
cried the planets,
who start to fragment.

easy, ease,
told to me,
by the lonely maple trees.

sleep now,
says mother, father,
child of the earth.

rest your head, hold your heart high,
said everything
beyond the sky.

Kiss me kiss me,
Hold me quick,
Before the candles are burnt out,
Have lost their wick.

Kiss me, kiss me,
Hold to me tight,
Touch me, touch me,
Do it right.

On moments,
Before I lose all that's sane,
Only seconds before I forget
All that was gained.

Love me love me
Love me fast
Passionate unruly
Like a spell cast.

Adore adore adore adore me,
With each last breath,
Cup my hands,
Take youth from my breast.

You pulled up the roots,
From in the ground,
Stirred the soil
Pruney palms browned.

Shredded the leaves,
Of the maple and pungent fern,
From my patience,
I wish you'd learn.

The patterns I follow,
Hands stretch for the crescent up there,
slowly steadily
creep with flair.

Rip off my shield,
With your blunted knife
Etch your heart
To your partner for life.

Oh look, oh dear there's a seam,
Pull at the stitches
In my skin,
Push fingernails to find my sunshine beam.

Oh here,
A little hole,
I push inside,
Scratching for my soul.

Oh dear we go,
Black bats under my eyes,
Little eyelashes,
Woven with lies.

Oh
Rip my nails off,
Push back skin springs,
Bite, bit,
Where do I begin.

I love you,
I'll love you,
If you strangle me to death,
Take from me, every last hope and breath.

Even if,
You grab my tongue,
Hold it in your palm,
Make me pinch myself on my unscathed arm.

Even if you,
Leave me,
Go kiss another girl,
Say that the thought of me wants to make you hurl.

Even if
you said you loathed me,
And ****** on all my dreams,
I would love you,
Til it burst me at my seams.

Even if
you told me,
To cut my hair short,
This is an admiration I wish to not abort.


If
And especially when,
When you take everything from me,
Never to return again.

I adored you before I knew,
You hummed Sinatra
In the bathroom.

Lusted when
I didn't know, you only
Accepted a flower in full bloom.

Loved before,
I knew you hated
Your nose.

I adored you before
You told me,
You needed sand between toes.


Before I found,
Your eyes watered when it was
A little too bright.

Before I knew,
You climbed trees when you were young,
Jumped, hoped you'd take flight.

I loved you
From the smirk in your faces,
And wrinkles in your brow.

I loved, I love you,
Even though you still ask
Me how?

These rotten sheets,
I curse and twist,
The spring leaps up,
Bites with a hiss.

This breeze block pillow,
I try to karate cut,
But the masonry stings,
The pain pours out.

The duck down duvet,
Nips at my toes,
Squealing black tongues,
As the birds inside rose.

The space below collects dust,
Luring in dead flies,
Their little buzzing legs,
Have become my lullabies
