Pushing Daisies
You're the devil,
On her shoulder,
Clinging to her,
Fragile bones.

You're the devil,
On her shoulder,
Breaking her,
With sticks and stones.

You're the devil,
On her shoulder,
Pushing her,
Away from home.

But you only,
Want to hold her,
So you don't feel,
All alone.

The New Kestrel
You unknowingly reach to me.
Feel the energy in your fingertips when you touch me.

I can feel it, too.

It feels warm,
Cold,
Fuzzy,
Pressurized.
It makes me shiver.

You've done it.
You've accomplished the next step.
You have the sight,
Now you have the touch.

**I can teach you more.

been thinking about you, piano man.
I would stay up to talk to you,
four timezones away,
so late that the dusk would
kiss
the dawns light.
I'm trying to let it go though,
all those "what would of been" thoughts.
I had my closure.
But even though it's been
three years,
I still remember the ocean breeze
on your lips.
Awkward and innocent.
Like you used to be.
Now you're all walls
and no doors.
And although I know there's no,
"maybe one day,"
you'll live in the capillaries in my body,
in the scars I showed you first.

i may dog-ear the pages
of your heart,
or drop it in the
bath tub a few times.
but i promise i will
read it to the end.

and if you could
run your fingers
over every word
i wrote, like dirt,
or braille, maybe
you might cry as
well. darling boy.

He says he can’t voice his thoughts
But wrote me a lullaby about landing planes
And the first time I heard it my feet were on his dash
And the windows were down.
He says he can’t voice his thoughts
So he steals mine and feels guilty
“I love you too’s” and “I miss you more’s”
“To the moon and back, baby.”
I know he can’t voice his thoughts
My stomach ties when his tongue does
High and dry, just try for me, darling,
Try to tell me everything I need to hear.
He can’t voice his thoughts,
But he always has a bow in his locker
and some nights
I have strings too.

i just thought you should know
i love you
every facet of you
i love you when you're stressed
and it feels like you're not even present
and i love you
when you're so vibrant
i have to hide my eyes
and i bet you're wondering how
i can even call this
poetry
but you don't see
the way you look
at me
and that
my darling
is the song i've been singing
since the moment we met.
i can feel it beating in my body, that's where your love lives. that's where the ink gets the message. also i absolutely adore alliterations.
