found a wildflower
all alone
on a plain barren and
desolate
drawn by it's brilliance
bent to caress it

reeled back in pain
as spikes pierced my skin
fingertips bleeding
warmth from within

beauty with fangs
designed for protection
perfectly adapted
natural selection

licking my wounds
pondering my next move
an antidote to her poison
must become immune
my heart weeps
at the thought
of you
in her arms

the dark
slicing away at me
like a cold steel blade
to my skin

the night
choking me
with my own regrets
Surprise
surprise
even the veins write lines
inside my eyes.

When I sleep
which I do,
I shoot up the ink
that makes me blink
more lines.

I need no pat on the shoulder
no cat for me because I'm older

Methuselah lives next door
and he has the ***** of Babylon
that keeps
him young and big
and strong.

Not for me,
I love the pain
I like being the bain
of my own life

and words more words
there's always more
come knocking on the bedroom door
prying into eyes and spying out the
land
some other hand writes the lines that line
the artery
but I can see it,

just as I got over Casanova
Judy punches me,
I felt it
the belt, it
hit me like
she meant it.

it's la di da as far as it can be or
all tickety boo to you.

The meds are wearing off right now
the portcullis lowers down
the castle guards are keeping watch
in this great Northern..
..did I say
they all wear gowns of heavy pink brocade?

they'll feed me lemonade laced with cyanide
must keep my eyes opened wide to

write lines with veins where all are class five choo choo trains
it's only being insane that keeps sane

Silence speaks louder than words they say
But what happens when silence turns into repeated disappointment?
Swallowing words that threaten to break free from my lips
Constantly wanting to please everyone
Never quite pleasing the self
But It’s a pattern now
A part of me
All I know
All I’ve ever known

I don’t want to remember
The way you made me feel
The casual glances
The smiles
The sound of your voice
Signalling a flurry of butterflies to erupt from within
How was it so easy for you to forget
When I’m still plagued by these thoughts
I don’t want to remember
"Don't drink your calories—
unless you want to get drunk."

Her eyes trembled with tears

Weakness stretches out,
not searching strength—
for another soul to be
weak with

A heavy languor spilled into the room
all she can think about
is the patterned ceiling,
which was a book for her to read
while entwined in damp blue sheets

Do you ever dread the day?
The day you write your masterpiece.
Your heart wrenched, blood spilled, gasping for air masterpiece.
The poem you were never meant to write.
The poem of your nightmares.
