Love In Hiding

Love In Hiding Jul 2013

i am scattered everywhere
from fingers tips that bend, to toes that curl.

i am sleeveless in my journey, that everyone who touches me causes my bones to shatter
i am a swollen sore that won't leave
i am scattered pieces no one bothered to pick up and put away,
the dust no one bothered to dust.
i am a broken jar, i am a missing piece.
i am tangled parts that can never be untangled,
i am scattered everywhere, and nowhere at once.

ghost

i was already
a floating

ghost

(you didn't understand)

maybe

Maybe it was something in the air that chased my lust into black holes.
Maybe it was love that shoved me six feet under and melted my appetite.
Maybe it was her.
And maybe it was me.
Maybe it was nothing.

demo poem: dreams walk around at dusk

waking me up without saying farewell
to the ties i have knotted in my dreams
because reality unties them without asking.
waking me up without warning
you speak through cold hard teeth life is what you make it,
living through dreams will only drown your luck.
face facts, i'd rather face your face and kiss it in my dreams

in my dreams
you are waking me up to a hollow grave
cause your love is dead to me
like roseless stems and winter tree limbs

waking me up from daydreams
you said i should be here not there
but in reality i am falling to pieces
in my dreams i am collected into one gallery of what i want to be
and isn't that so wrong?

when no one wants you around anymore

maybe our friends were little pebbles,
and we lost them through the spaces between out fingers
even when we held them in our fist.

up at dusk thinking of her lips

And I'm going to bruise your lips with my lips
And cradle your heart in my hands.
(If that's ok with you)

home

the smell of her
lingers on the
flannel that she held.
the flannel reminds me
of home,
not here. but her.
wherever i am with her is home.
