Tingling alarm,
burning eyes,
sassy is out,
in my mind.
**** long hair,
short skirt,
dark music,
pale skin.
Salty humor,
seriously sweet,
sparkling aura,
on high-heels.
Knocking on hearts,
Opening doors,
Shivering crowds,
Dancing all floors.
Sight sets on me,
Fountains of youth,
Brilliance in her steps,
Each marked with truth.
Tied by her beauty,
My soul's reeling in,
Tossing and turning,
The lure, deady sin.

I keep the flood in a teaspoon
Stir slow
Don’t spill
My throat learned how to
Knot itself into napkins
Folded
Unused
Beautiful
You blinked and the room dimmed
Just enough for me to
Pack the sun away
I speak in mist
Maybe
Never rain
Your name still fits
But only on the inside of my wrist
Where nobody looks
I walk lighter now
No grace
Just
Less of me left to carry
If I’m quiet enough you might
Stay
So I practice being nothing
Loudly
