#clasp
fingers grasp around you
the ribs of my embrace
slicing solitude in ribbons
wrapping new flesh
with shy promises
filling up the body
of a possibility
its youthful iridescent eyes
now blossoming
giving out near-future sparks
to the world-pyre

Though you are not near,
I feel you in the walls,
I never noticed the ripples,
the effigy of your features peering
underneath the veil of silhouettes,
that contort to the yearning of you.
I push my palm against the wall,
and sense a migration of tangibility
as though you were
intrusive on this world.
but poignant features I read like brail.
I slumber nights on the cold floor, eyes
eclipsing the days. But I gaze at you,
never seeing but I know your
beneath my skin
with your gaze. I see only ripples of
my yearning, I hit out at the wall that
keeps you from me and it bleeds.
My heart descends into oblivion knowing
your within my reach, I want to contort
this paper into
origami effigies of you.
But I will wait till my draping's are tattered
to feel you upon my paper skin flesh.
Write upon me your yearning, I recline
on the walls of his memory waiting for
it to sense my thirst...
drowning in silence.
But as I fade into the grasps of a shallow grave,
I feel you upon my flesh pulling me within and
we are one, I'm just bones behind a wall of memories.

Come here
Taint me with all
Of the empty promises
You keep stored within
Your eyes
Your heart
And behind
Your lips
Come here
Tell me something that
I may not know
About myself
Because clearly you know me
Better than I do
My fears
My passions
My hopes
And my regrets
Go ahead
Fill my head
With dreams
That you say we
Could share
That we
Could hold
Within a gentle grasp
Go ahead
Crush those dreams
Within your
Deadly clasp
Destroy the
Beauty
That we hoped
Could one day be
The glue
That would hold
Us together
