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

Thorns
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.
