This reflection of slumber

Unnoticed sirens find us missing

Fulfilling ecstasy softly

A small push to know lasting rapture

Love bridges this lonely nocturne

Listen as corners devour deeper

Stray flocks of lightning illuminate pale crests of your posture sleeping in my bed
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
And of love never known

Trembling

Waiting

This neon midnight speaks of more

Pounding silence or a hand held too close

Fearing the fast swords from God

And a dim solicitude that falls to ashes
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
It won't be the same

Childhood flowering to blue

One last night to die, longingly

Indecisive

Open

Flesh dawn

Her eyes string silver corners

And throb to an ancient pulse

Sunlight pain

Calm end to a pure sound

Do these these things make time sleep for you?
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
Something has now come between us

There is silence finally

Amongst voices

Sand

Spilling out

Between pockets of stars
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
This agony is true

Let's hope it's really up to you

When it's very late at night

And you're laying down to sleep

I pray I'm not remembered as a ****

Or someone you can hate

I'm made of deep sweat and cigarettes

There is an ending here that I don't regret
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
The ending shriek of a dogs bark
As you jolt awake from this nightmare that isn't one
Rhet Toombs Sep 2016
Ribbons of your torn shirt unraveling in space

Trapped

Cold sweat

Electric violence

Tears idling on my face
