silas
behind the locked door
in a steamy cloud of mist
i drag my finger down the mirror
writing your name
over and over
inconsistent, misshaped words
humidity conquering my breath,
making it feel impossible to respire
yet i do nothing to help myself

maybe i'll die in here.

in that moment
i felt nothing
only
utterly
pathetic

s.b.//
a poem written out of pain
I see no problem
in the use of certain Tools
to attain certain ends;
but to rely upon a tool
is to handicap One's potential.

Tread carefully:
use Tools as you see fit,
but be used not by them.
now that we are nearly one
let us consume the other
and be tranquil in our spine
and darlings, ever darlings.
let us chime invincible
upon the  purposeful earth
and lounge in the quake
of it.

now that we are nearly one
let us pursue the rarity of our union
to the depths of our actual love
and be made perfect in the flaw
of god's kingdom, where man has raged
against itself, and joined the devils
of their inner dread.
let us coerce the seasons to a bliss
and reign above all unjoy
to be together, at odds
with the evening
of our mean
palace.

let us love the other more than we understand
and stand under the canopy of sleepless
love... forever.
the rain would fall and the reason was the sun,
it had too many days yellow;  and the blue
was false without
the grey....
more troubadour than tranquil
spinning yarns about yesterday's placid sky
when all the while
inside the denizens of broke hope
there swirled an infinite night
in midday... a troublesome void
nestled in the cul-de-sac
of actual people...
and the lie chose over them
so the rain fell upon them
to be with
them.
the heart,
and how it loves,
i cannot say.
but you forgive
me.
i cannot know the untamed thing
as much as feel
it's sting-
and I have no god to approach...
to reconcile the
irony.
only the pit
in me.
only the furnace of lost moons.
the ****
jewels
of nightfall,
and nothing
else.
i keep the squalor of our opulent hearts
in heavenly hovels !
i denote the flat note
in a fife's
throat -
and blow the trumpet
of silent
things.

so...

how
it loves,
is lost to
me.
but i burn more
constantly
than I forgive
it

empty.

full of
you.
your voice
reminds me of bumble bees and ice cream
Come into me.
Run your hands along my curves
And fill me tenderly;
I’ll welcome you.
By rhythmic passion stroke me,
Do it with your loving fellow.
Rush me with aggression
And then touch me with affection.
Make me sing, my darling.
Hold me close and make me moan.
We’ll lean in to waves of pleasure
and ride.
Let a grand swell rise.
With tantric tingles through our skin,
We will bask until again.

Please Midas,
Take the golden gun
And shove the golden bullet
Right through my golden skin
And tell me a story about
"All that glitters.."

No one will play you like I did,
Honey bee.
You're fine, but you used to be great.
