Thorns

I was quiet
And found that she left me with sorrow
And that of lamentations bring
And that smiles that even bring sorrow that even now would not even show its head

I cried for her dear face that it may shine
And grace that succored my time has vanished
Into atoms and the particles that float in eternal space
These no more

I was alone and that which saw to my own doing
Killed my heart and shattered my soul
And found nothing to ponder upon but myself
And that sadness left me alone forever

And now rosas and sampaguitas bloom in the garden
For I am the unworthy soil beneath such beauty
Left untouched and now exists as it was
THORNS

Consummatum Est. Amor Mortis.
Requiem in pacis, Lara.

For Lara

She tasted like watermelon on a july day  
pink and juicy
 Mostly liquid (transparent) but full of flavor  
a rosebud mouth that inhaled like I did  
bitter meals of smoke from tin foil and glass  

She laughed like echoes off ancient cave walls  
all experience and fire  
dangerous arousal from a primitive state  
I gave her my greatest possession
 sharing with eyes wide open  

She fights without going to Geneva  
*****, with bricks  taking hits like a man
 deep breaths of poison and still she trudges on  

She smelled like gardenias inside my palms  
familiar and hand-picked
 infested with seeds  
but all that I can recall is her on my lips;  
pink and juicy

  tasting like watermelon on a july day.

Inspired by the wonder that is my best friend and kindred spirit, Lara Lockwood.
