#curl
what brightened the horizon
frightens you in the trenches
just a curl
untrained
soldier toy
clotted in company
awaiting an enemy

At the end of the day , it's just you curled within you , within you ,
with your thoughts floating ,
even with all this gravity.
You are a woman ,
With muscles that
stretch and curl ,
With skin ,
Which glows.

Moscato smile
Curl your lips
And curl your toes
Liquid dusk in a dusty glass
The lines between forgetting the reason
And forgetting the person
Are blurred
I pour another glass anyway

I love you,
When you tease me,
Play pranks on me,
Burst out in laughter with me,
You blossom,
You look adorable.
I love you when when you sleep,
With one arm and leg on me,
You look way cute,
With your curls on your face too.
I love you when howl in the shower,
Sing songs we both love,
Care free, content.
I love you when you look into my eyes,
Hug me tight,
Kiss me long,
Whisper in my ears,"I love you too."
Let's grow old together and have fun,
My heart you have won.

I jotted my work
to the world,
They accepted it,
with a curl.
I took a fresh page
to write,
There also they,
gave a bite.
But I am happy ,
with my stuff.
Whether it is ,
Soft or rough.

ANu de girl
dat made me twirl
ANd made
my moustache curl
She winked at me
I got knock-kneed
and had to
smoke some ****
It worked indeed
she puffed with me
then we both
watched this tale unfurl

skin covered in shadows
a dead winter leaf bouncing against a flourishing summer tree
catching the handle of a spider string
holding onto the living as if
it can escape its crumbling burial
only can a field of soft, mumbling earth
call sleep more swiftly than a mattress
within the green and blue sphere are textured tints that release
wifts of genuine air spilling into half-filled industrial lungs
can art be felt when eyes don't open?
as closed eyelids fall humble to the glowing yellow light
answered silently with a curl of the lips

the kitten curls up
hardly recognizable
sleeps away the days

Little by Little
He softened in the Head
He drank from his own Spittle
Stored in Jars
Under the Bed
He said Daily Prayers
And waited for The Girl
But Drowned in his own Pale *****
Then Stiffened
In a Curl

please, someone, waste
my time; help me
forget my burdens and
responsibilities.
please, someone, for the holidays,
buy me a prince, and
tell him to slay my demons,
like you never would.
please, someone, make my
toes curl, and my fingers numb
with your warmth, that
i hope caresses me like
a lover.
please, someone,
just know that i don't need saving,
but i sure as hell want it.
