Pen
They called my pen tearful.
Like a melancholy dream.

but what they don't know is that


they weren't tears.





They were wounds.










I just drew them in ink.
It's been a long February.

I must have been a Star graced on the pale
and amber Sky against sharp edged Giants,
the way you searched for wings behind me.

A black strip of lace I was, but less frail,
I broke through the loudness and gifted you silence.
Though no Halo was rest on my crown,
You laid yours beside me.

Hark I did try, though the clouds are all that spoke.
I cradled you then, skin soft as bread.
Leaning over like grass in the wind
And planting Daisies on your breast.

Tempest came fast and the sunlight awoke,
opening the wound from its rising, and bled.
It gave an orange and firey tinge,
but the Blood was warm as it spilled over the crest.

Passionately, I held you stark.
The Thorns wrapped around your head and heels
but the River flowed down the Cliffs so steep,
to drown the Thorns in reverence.

And soon your eyes arose from the Dark.
I pulled your chin with my finger to watch you reveal,
and I noticed the Thorns had buried deep
and I worried what served as their consequence.

I could have questioned the Shepherd that rest on the peak,
"what bothers your black woolen Lambs?"
Knowledge so flooded and thought all fragmented,
I kept the silence floating where words could have been.

So we settled in the grove of a like-minded freak,
Glued horns on the Ovis so they looked like Rams,
Made sure the air was a sweet Rose and Wood scented,
And awaited the Sun to burn the mountains again.
The only people that can handle us, is each other.

Spiral in.

Spiral out.

But always spiraling about.

Never and end,

since I began.

A spiral is all I really am.
Ride the spiral.

I wonder if he knows
How I cry when he touches me.
How the softness in his voice strangles my indifference.
I wonder if he knows
How I sob when he leaves me.
And the poison in my head
How it burns with persistence.
I put my hand upon his cheek
Hush now you’re safe here with me,
Boy who’s heart that I keep.
You’ll never stand up to see
That I’m being killed
By what stands on the ground:
Ammunition by the pound,
On top of which you take your seat.
And it weighs two ton.
Too bad you’re the one
Who’s shadow it resides underneath.
Always too much to handle.

Is about how often


and how easily




she died.

I love you so much

more than the Sun loves the Moon,

or the Day loves the Noon.

I want to hug you more than

Waves hug the Shore,

or a Frame hugs a Door,

and kiss you more than the

Horizon does the Sky

or more than Lashes bat an Eye.

I don't think I could love you more,

but now, I've said that before,

and I'll say it over and over

until the day I die.
I love you more than poetry. And that says something.

You called my head "Madness"
when it's name was "Desire"
And you wore my skin for safety from all you'd thrown at my thought.

But I was taught,
'never surrender under focused fire,
just move out of the way,
so you don't get shot.'

With my dry bones beneath you,
you sought fire from the start.
You were a thief with a bullet
shaped like a heart.

And with brutal precision,
you aimed beneath your morality,
and no wishful decision
could have torn me from reality.

I held purpose and purity,
things I wanted to save for Sam.

But you sang my song for me,
and with swift hips,
and a good grip,

you decided who I am.

— The End —
