in this walk, I am solitary
it comforts me.
this leprous condemnation, my dearest heart
….has me bridled.
a noble sacrifice, please understand.

i see your face in the silvering, not my own.
shimmering, gazing, smiling at me

don’t mistake

my benevolence

for admiration,

I’m addicted to feeding your ego {I think I love you}.

~rachael hays 19J15

for you, they will be
waiting eagerly
to touch your dripping wet hem

to take you
over their two toned vermillion
borders

the thoughts of
those encounters
makes me faint and swimming, heady
for your smooth appeal

i am deteriorating - come back.
~Rachael Hays 21J15

EVERY
SINGLE
DAY

I vibe your electromagnetic waves

THERE
IS
NO
WAY

to shake your swagger babe

NORTH
WIND
TAKE
ME
AWAY

sinking into the feel of it. The reel of it. Making a meal of that swirling lay.

PLAY BY PLAY

~Rachael Hays 9A15

chemical romance without any bars,
tub full of hot water,
water glass filled with wine
would I love you If I had you all the time?

I think I’ll wait

LA rituals come easy
once we discovered our time zone
a rolley between my fingers
a whisker on my tongue

your ram
has my eagle flying
you set me ablaze
and the Phoenix rises from our ashes

East - west - East - west

~Rachael Hays, 15A15

Im losing myself... into the thin,
Im choosing myself…can't be near him,
im gonna fall and get buried in a bottomless hole -

he's gonna push me in,
  with his truth gem…with his open kettled whims.

what he's got is no sin,
he's gonna take me into that ******* wind.

I'm losing it again
   im not gonna win…
      if he says no, then I'll be safe again.

the sun is coming.
swim…just swim

carefully i write words
on your heart so that you will
not forget our moments of gazing
upon each other’s
naked skin and slowly
devouring your lips as you taste mine, i am
ravished by your passion
uttering your name breathlessly
moving with you until we are like the dead.
