My tides move in waves
Of reactive oscillation.
Bound to your momentum
By threads of gravitation.

Gravity, like rainfall . . .
I, never yours,
And you, never mine.

Each day I etch a tally,
And try to act surprised
That another day
Has come and gone
In which the sun forgot to shine.

I'm so attracted to the broken
The struggle, the sorrow
The empathy in me swirls and swells
Reading poems to sadden my soul
Forcing tears to my eyes
Reminding me how to cry
Reminding me it's okay to hurt
Everyone else is hurting too
No one is as happy as they appear
So I suppose, it's really the strength
To be honest about how broken one is
That I find staggeringly attractive

A fiery *****
She knows to trade
She wants to grow
Extreme havoc
Follows her wake
Beginning to suffuse
A relationship with honor
Sustainable fixings
An eternal gift
The purity of a partner,
With emotions
The wave of the divine
Heals

Like apple blossoms
Entice bees to sweetly dance
So you call to me

you were like the sun to me
you shined so bright
you gave me life

you were like the sun to me
I revolved around you, I held on strong
although our attraction didn't last long

you were like the sun to me
you kept me warm for days and weeks
although at night, the darkest of times

you were nowhere to be seen

I heard you whisper pulse into placidity
lay words into the earth
river to rhapsody
drum devilline deception
summon veiled depravity  

I’ve no shame in temptation
only in myself

Chimeric savaged soul
captive silken suffering
rabid nirvana
flood my bloodied conscience
with rosebud delirium
