#satisfying
I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied in my life time But until then I will keep writing

Unsatisfied
_Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting_ I didn't really mean to... But all of a sudden... I was opening the third drawer... My hand pulled it out... Uncapped the blade... Then I caressed it Ran my fingers around the tip Tested it on my ankle But no... that's not what I really wanted I know better I know what I've been craving So then it was there In my hand on my wrist And it slashed three times Stopping only when blood began to flow And it did flow.... and flow... I just wanted to watch it... As serenity washed over my body Finally For once I'm calm At peace

Serenity
As honey billows from a hive Words satisfy my mind The sweetest dew breathed out of mouths Mists my skin in Eros My heat rises and bubbles the molasses in my head Slow hands stir its thick syrup and enjoys its warmth and feel Caressing down my cheeks On my tongue and into my lips harmony pleases my inner itch

The lust of language
The arrival of senselessness Is a great shadow over the earth, a cooling cloud in the summer causation of looking up-- Gift-givers wander the slopes and with packets of thought, They run their fingers along the stones and the trees and the fields Grassy, Following the trails of clouds wandering just as inconsequent Leaving tears as rain on the steppes and letting them drain into the deathly floors asking them to give the ability for new things to drink This is the true Holy Water And a patchwork soul seeks, fixated, answers to the crackled nature of their vessel Running into the same stone of them, cancerous soon left to sands and dust Ozymandias The blades of leaves rattle a sad salute Their ragged branches sheathed xylem, a perfect skyscraper design Preventing edema of the like kind Show to me that this place in not but the momentary awareness of light, a stopping point in the infinite variation To locate oneself in the rapid raveling of everything into one great big Sorrowful tear, running from the eternal blackness of the night that holds noting but the absence of itself.

Await
I want to skip forward to the best parts, Talking until my throat is raspy and, drinking burning coffee at 6am as the sun rises over the line of houses. Pale painted skin as I wait in nervous anticipation for your test to come back— hoping that the line will read positive, and dreading the line will tell us that too. I want to skip past our fight about the time I got too drunk, run past the part where, I, in my self pity, collapsed against your porch door, unable to reach the cheaply made bronze. The time I snapped at you for another self derogatory statement, trying to tell you, your scars aren’t a sign of weakness. I tried to tell you how strong you were, to stand there and live against all odds, but… Somehow I made it about me, and at three forty two, I realized my mistake. Red lines mark our history, and my mechanical pencil can’t erase these grades, Signs that told me to stop, but I had no intention of leaving. You told me you didn’t understand, why I stayed, And I had to tell you, It was because I couldn’t love you. You, who loved me And me, who couldn’t because the heart I had failed. but I choose to love you anyways. a choice I haven’t regretted. How about we skip to the night I held you in my arms and refused to let you go? Or the day I surprised you with your favorite dinner, even if I was a terrible cook, you smiled at me and we ordered pizza instead? A choice, a choice, will those kids ever learn? Love isn’t a feeling in your breast, or clogging your senses. Remember how I said I wanted to skip past our fights? I changed my mind. … those fights made us, and so I hope you say yes, will that cute half smirk you always gave me, when I hand you your favorite book, a ring dangling from a chain, marking my favorite passage. Lets not chase after these next few years, Let us just live them first. with love,

A Love Without Love

This is a deadly game This is a poisonous gamble This is unwarranted passion This is crazy obsession And yet you choose me Amidst all that chaos within me That hurts you when it shows Amidst all my flaws you love me You are a bright flame Warm and passionate Fierce and boisterous A raging beacon of beauty in the darkness I am that darkness Cold and unmoving Dead and restrained A chaotic enigma hidden in your shadows I am around you But I cannot touch you And yet you shine for me You choose to love me No matter how much we try No matter what we do Light can never banish the darkness And darkness can never touch the light But here you are Loving the darkness in me Because you exist to need me Because light must shine amidst the dark And darkness must help the light shine An odd combination The two of us And yet you're in love with me And I with you They may say its wrong But who the hell cares Because I feel its right Even if we are never alike

Oddities in Harmony
Touch so gentle and tender Body and soul complete surrender Lips so soft caress the skin Close your eyes and just give in Arms and legs Pull you near Fingers tangled in your hair All lifes worries fade away In the grips of passion you shall stay Lust so hungry an urge so great Fast and frenzied you just can't wait Overwhelming sensations Why put up a fight Whole body tingling Afternoon delight

Afternoon Delight
An author must understand the craft of picking such fruit. The patience to resolve and then pluck the ending, ripe on the branch. But any reader can taste the sweetness, Satisfying, although it leaves such a Singular   lingering   taste An urge to bite    and bite                    and bite until only the seeds are left, embedded in the folds of you brain, watered by your memory, to            grow. Though we say that reading is our escape All readers want reality in the end An overripe “deus ex machina” can never                     satisfy the craving for a good ending.

Set Me Free
Spins The office chair aligns itself with the overhead fan In sync they orbit my body Holding still as I turn indefinitely It's nauseating and satisfying

When sober and sad are synonymous
After days of hot sun, down came the rain, It watered the garden, and flowed down the drain. In less than five hours, the month’s quota met, The news had reported, a record was set. The drink was welcomed, by the parched earth, Ending the dry spell, experienced by Perth. But soon people complained, about getting wet, They wanted the sun, how soon they forget. We’re never satisfied, with what we get, It’s too hot or too cold, too dry or too wet. We want 24 degrees, with sky that is blue, And rain for an hour, in the morning at two. We should be grateful, for the sun and the rain, Make the most out of it all, and do not complain. when things do happen, which we can’t control, Leave it in his hands, it’s part of his goal. Bill Hoeneveld. 4/26/2016.

Satisfying Rain.
Every time you think of me I'm thinking of you.
