K G May 2016
The lights skate across her cheeks and shine in her eyes
Argued that beauty's red and virtue's white
Yet our ambition makes us still to fight

Her touch that lifts the day from the mundane
My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain
Knowing her look torments me with disdain

She might think me of some benighted youth
My head swears to heart that she is made of truth
So she I lose, likely through my unkind abuse

You trade in your reality for a wing You trade in your sense for an act
You give up your ability to feel, to put on a mask

Away he steals your heart with an open listening ear
Stuffed up with his lust, as minutes fill up into hours
I'm used to your inner indecisiveness that is as wavering as a coward
K G May 2016
Catching all my passions
To spend my living in eternal love
I've emptied all their fountains in my well,
And to pour your ocean all among
I reach my hand out to the frosted sun
With sighs I pass my burning lungs

I fall into the heaven's sea
by the trustless wings of false desire
As I stand on the heights of my life
With a glimpse of a height that is even higher

When you're up against the wall
I'll be there holding your hands
You will rest your weary feet
in the heaven's golden sands
K G May 2016
In a world of glass and paper doubt
All kinds of arguments and question deep
If I make it to morning and somehow believe
******* would not break from
thence
A mess, a mess of secrets and thieves
Throughout my life of negligence
Effects of terror and dear modesty
From walls never ceasing to close in
K G May 2016
The apparition of these faces in the crowd
The snow carefully everywhere descending
I see the depth and passion of your solemn glance
I lied, said that I didn't picture countenance
I thought you loved me, Instead of this
Out from the huddled and ugly walls
Tiffany
You were too kind, wooed too persistently
Hindering an old silence, missing her loose cheeks
K G May 2016
My soul out in a burning mist
My body in the worst of dens
To feed it and forget it, the leaves among it
Silence with that murmur, the swung wicket
Its a broken hearted nemophilist
Here
The neck your mother's arms caressed
A handful of blossoms I plucked
Hands ******* and darkened
Great black spots where the blood has run

When we were rich in the crevice
We had our bodies burnished
Night shacking up, so we've furnished

Not a plenteous sort of season, time of year
Blue-black, lustrous, masculine eyes
Barricaded by trees, fields, and grime tears
K G May 2016
Matters passed into the silence
We're both left as nemophilists
Too tired to breathe sprightly
Color the sea, another sky for me
Beautiful yellow as your hair, dress and comb
You are sylphic with skin of peachy monochrome
From sunset, sunrise your body feels of foam
Yet again to whisper "lets get lost'' in a brisk tone
But I cannot see into the sunset
All I know is that you're perfect right now
The zestful weekend’s almost here now
The furthest reaches of your nowhere town
Making peace with an empty town
K G May 2016
Slow Comber from the Seacoast
Where I'd Frowst
I'm the Branch in your Rain Coat
from Pillar to Post
Up and Up I fly and fly
Turning a Blind Eye
I'm the Fermium Butterfly
In the Calcified Night
