Dec 2014
tap dancing over each vertebrae,
connecting me to you.
spine of stone
one single kiss;

Rays of sun
envied
the
illumination of your
heartstrings.

eyes,
fogged with smoke still burning from fire
left smoldering.

No warning.

Water washed me,
cleansing impurities:
marks from scratching skin
over you.

turned upside down
the blood rushed to our heads.

external force,
//****//

I don’t know how to
helplessly
get over you
hopelessly
Energy leaving skin,
isolation
bound to yours by nothing
freedom
anymore.
(you)

The trees outside are begging me:
climb,
I can’t move my legs,
they’re glued to the floor.

I’m sensitive,
and I squirm a lot.

focusing hard
not
to
fa-
ll.

comforting
like my mother
reminding me I have sensitive skin.

Grounded by a force in my feet
pulling me closer to your hip bones.

You ran out of patience
and into someone else.

The flowers are drowning,
maybe I can pick them all
before the TV gets too loud for my ears;
you should know where I keep the shovel.

Softly for you,
all of it.

Everything,
I’d give

more.

Rebuild, retract
reboot.

love,
lit by someone else's sun.

palm of my hand,
lines led straight to you.


Can I stay the night?
Inside of your rib cage.
I want to touch you
with my whole hands
eyes
palms.
What’s wrong?

What am I supposed to say?

I’ll always think of you.

damaged
replaced
rebuilt.

Thorn torn hand
left for giving.

My hands are freezing
without
the heat in your wrists

the petals would be so soft;
I promise.

escape

Ice isn't solid forever

I am waiting for you,
To melt

Scared of heights?

Maybe it's broken glass
In your eyes.

I still feel
Feel
Feel you
In my head
Like a pounding that won't quit
I want you more than time

and there is no shortness

of that.

still...
