Epitome of despair
A little Impaired
Agony and hatred
Entertained by Clair

-Oh, Clair how are you?
When I am enveloped

In raw earth,

Microcosm in my flesh,

Loneliness

Will no longer haunt

Hollow bones
Sometimes
I am a phantom limb
Passing through the body
Of a listless lover
Unnoticed

Sometimes I think of those nights
Flowing through the veins of the city
Coursing along the waterfront
Carried along by inky waves
Watching the wind dance a waltz
With the leaves at my feet
As I walked that concrete stage

©FaerieFoxPoetry
I have taken midnight station
Set in quiet contemplation
Sipping on the thickest silence,
Such a sickly-sweet libation

©FaerieFoxPoetry
Silence can be addictive.
Jagged words have a way
Of cutting through
Clenched teeth
And sealed lips
Destroying dams
Built in bloodied mouths
And soft hearts
Remember the golden rule.

More fickle than the seasons
fragile like thawing ice

attached with a firm grip
clutching like a baby’s hand.

Desperate but never dangerous
susceptible yet not defenceless
acquiescent, though a fool.

They are the simpleton’s
that embrace counterfeit fables,
illusions of promise

And at the end
that makes them break
But oh dear,
sometimes
the honey tastes sour too.
Doesn't it

I pray for the day you crave my touch more than anything

And I will watch you wither in sorrow

As I have.
Rose Dec 2020
The one thing I can promise is true...
no matter the distance,
I love you.
