She was pretty. Scratch that. She was beautiful. Scratch that too. She was more beautiful, Than a sunrise on a winter morning. Or a rainfall on an autumn day Where the leaves dance in the wind And fill the sky with life. More beautiful than a flower That breaks through the cracks Of a concrete garden And brings color to the air. She was more beautiful, Than any poem that's ever been written. She was beautiful. Scratch that. She still is.

Scratch that.
We're almost touching. we were walking side by side, you're talking about cabs in your hometown. I can feel the gravity of your hand, calling my fingers whispering "it's alright." We're touching but not quite. you held my shoulder to protect me from the passing cars. and for the first time in a long while, I felt so fragile. In this world where I find it hard even to breathe, you believed me. I almost said it. All I need is one ounce of strength to tell you every single thing that I have ever felt about you. I want to find home in your collarbones. Would you be kind enough to let a stranger in? I want to seep in your being because I'm cold. The world is harsh and my cracks are aching. Almost.

This is how girls with anxiety love
So, this is what it feels like, to be buried under heaps of leaves, trapped like gold in a treasure chest living in the hold of the Galleons of the Spanish Armada, lost at sea, in the frozen crevices of the Atlantic. Yet... I'm still free like air-- **sweet, beautiful, fresh air**-- who filter through the cracks and holes. Nothing's changed, I am still Me.

Thank you ~ for a life not to trade blessings, in spades tight spaces behind laundry doors packed closets and open drawers gator tails, tarnished brass cracks in kitchen sliding glass wet towels, withering plants foundation filled with carpenter ants buckets piled with shoes and tags village clothes and saddlebags peeling paint and broken walls ****** seats in bathroom stalls clogged pantry frigid rooms table scribe and carbon fumes comfort capsules empty tanks broken limbs from children’s pranks **** finger double tongue long goodbyes and sidewalk dung cluster flies chavie’ clique accompanying the hypocrite cracked back and hidden smiles chalk on board with mr miles atomic wedgies closing doors wrotten eggs and open sores jaw jack nasty folk dinner calls for pig in poke penny pinchers double dip yellow mouth and silver tip brown nosers thick red tape paper cuts and pimple nape gallivants so out of norm the joy of life… in basic form

cultivation of gratitude
He told her she was pottery; a vase with grooves and cracks. The patterns of the history she hid behind her back. Within his words he layered in- like thread upon a loom- The sweetest undercurrent to illuminate that gloom. In certain cultures, he decreed, when pottery is cracked They aggrandize them with gleaming gold to bring their splendor back For they believe, with certainty, once damage has been wrought Those tiny cracks, now filled with light, hold truths that can't be taught.

They Fill the Cracks with Gold
The lull of a restless night relieves my senses It's monotone silence maintains my breath The cold night breeze enters through an open window It whispers soft tunes and attempts to put me to sleep The humming of an exhausted laptop helps me decompress It distracts me from overthinking and blocks out my stress As the night goes on it starts to rain It comforts my senses and cleanses my pain This time-worn house cracks and creaks It talks of troubled times and how it came to be This place I call home proves i’m never alone And it's always there to support me

The Sounds of Midnight
late night by the holland sill white framed and frilled alongside the meadow down by the grand where cat fish and cow pies and silly yellow bees make their stay there are swings now and empty barns (with quiet corners and broken walls) echoing chambers that speak of the past ...and little dogs not big ones the plaster cracks and wheat sways from a warm west wind it’s about time for that late afternoon pour you know how it cleans the soul old percy would say and flanders (the holder of those pigs) who fed us good with sow and milk as we plowed the dusty fields into the hot summer sun i can still hear the screams of river shore dreams the grand slams and flints run dry the barks and breaks and bends a world past with forbes and dolls and crab apple trees think i’ll take a trip up the back lane they’ve cut the brush and opened the line

I am not superman. I carry around guns for protection. I have killed many And never was sorry. I have stolen from men who have stolen from others. Do not look at me as a savior, Not even as a big brother, because I am nothing of a role model. My wings have broken and I don't even have a place to call home. Pain is written on my skin with the smirk of a devil leaving cracks all over for sorrow to sneak its way in and bury itself deep into my bones. So give me hope because I'm not man enough to create my own. I keep putting other's lives before mine hoping that counts as love but wind up realizing that doesn't count as anything Trust me, I'm no superman. I can't even save myself. I've burned my cape in the fires of hell because I've been there enough to know I can't wear it anymore. I have flaws enough to fill the ocean and I'm sick of drowning and I'm tired of counting dead bodies and I’m tired of swimming through waves I'm not big enough for. So hear the violin and piano play my symphony of the fallen man. I never said I could fly. I never said I could save your life. I never gave up though. So hold me tight and let me finally break and fall into the arms of someone I can trust and someone I know that'll keep my heart safe buried next to theirs. I've played wicked games and lost too many times and now I just want to sleep. I'm tired of turning up black and blue But I'll do anything to protect you. If you were never here then I would have ended this a long time ago. I would have welcomed the salt water into my lungs Or fall asleep in a tree and meet death in the morning as I hang in silence. But now I beg for hope because I'm torn apart. But I know am seen as your superman so I’m going to hang on with all my might, And live this life with you as a hero as your superman.

Tears, Shatter. The floor, Cracks. Against the splashes, You hear them splat. Your heart beats furiously. The girls heart breaks. She falls. Eyes shut. The hits, Leave cuts. Her smile, Vanished. Against her own will, She lashes. Screaming, "Mother, no!"

His "I love you" came swiftly. Like the monsoon pouring down on a leaky roof Those three words broke through my defences. At first they were an ambrosia; They sustained my life and our relationship. At least for a short time. Then "I love you" became an excuse; For absences, and purpose-filled accidents. And I ignored the warning signs, the flashing lights. I pretended like "I love you" was enough... ...But it wasn't. His "I love you"s were like band-aids on bullet wounds; Like using play dough to fix cracks in concrete walls. But I rationed our good memories, I held on as tight as I could to our love And watched as it slipped through my fingers. His "I love you"s became poison, That seeped deep into my bones, And turned blue skies grey, And turned light into darkness, And slowly killed whatever semblance of love I fooled myself into thinking we had left.

His "I Love You"
I found you in the cracks of winter. On our first date, we drank tea from cups bigger than our faces. You also told me you wrote poetry. I noticed how every time you would lick your lips before you would speak. The first time you read me a poem your window was open and it was raining. Your voice cracked and you cleared your throat six times. I was smitten. After our third date, I showed you my favorite place in the world. I took you to a bay on the outskirts of town. I told you the stories I carved into the sand a long time ago. I told you I came here every time the world kept turning but I felt as though I've fallen off, waiting for a guitar solo crash or a midnight knock on my window. I wanted to tell you, you were my midnight knock. You let me hold your book of poems that night. There were bite marks in them from when you said you climbed up in trees back when you were as tall as the kitchen counter. We had conversations of Bon Iver and soccer as we laid on the sandy bay. I realized that night I wanted to be there with you when the clock swallows up your time and watch indie movies on Netflix when there is nothing good on TV. I turned to look into space and swallowed all my feelings. I felt hollow when I looked at you and noticed your skin was old and tired. But you looked at me like you were young. You said I was the first to make you feel this way. I was smitten. At first, I looked at you like a star but ended up seeing the whole solar system.

I Guess I'm Floating
The pieces of me Were falling through the cracks The pieces of me Shattered from the past These pieces I've Been missing so long You've put them back Where they belong In your shirt pocket Grazing your chest Where those pieces are safe And can be loved best You've found those shards Where someones thrown them away You're now who will Keep them safe Be careful because My thinly severed parts Hardly resemble What once was a heart They may embed Themselves within And splinter you with Broken passion I may not give you all of me But I can share my pieces A bite of me is all you need The bite that never ceases

i wrote you a letter every day letters to tell you just how i feel written in neat, curved writing i told you just how sweet i thought you were how you made my heart glow letters in which i wrote with various colors of ink pouring out my whole being to you i wrote you a letter every day. i wrote you letters in which i told you how you made me bloom. eventually i found myself pressing harder on the paper than i had before. creating tears in them similar in shape and size as the ones inside of me. i began to send letters with creases and bumps and stains splattered with tears pouring from my eyes as i wrote the anger bubbling within me. my last letter addressed to you contained no words but was blank. because i had none that could reach as far and deep into the cracks of my heart to describe just what you had left of me.

****
Keep your eyes soft and your dreams up on the highest shelf so you won't take them down too early; keep everything that you spill in the dark locked behind your teeth during the day, don't bring it out before dusk; like secrets we drip over sidewalk cracks from cotton-candy sticky fingers and leave our names dissolved under each other's tongues, the warmth of you is keeping me company as I try to crawl out of my blood again, they told you to leave a bread-crumb trail in case your heart becomes too watered down by just visiting to even remember the vacation at all; you carry kisses on the knuckles of amputated arms, driving through parking lots with your seatbelts on, collections of constellations growing in the bruises on the insides of your thighs, reminders of salt & the whites of your eyes; I'll always carry you around like scuffed knees and the last time I told you "I'm okay", I wanna press my fingers into you until your skin is melded with fire and scraps of things that I could never be, I hope steel rods grow out of your bones and I hope you gather bruises before you gather dust, we are all a little lost and lonely but that never stopped the accumulation of well-spent nights coughing up new ways to spell my name (it sounded foreign before you) leave this on repeat, we're going in again.

things we keep between our teeth
*In the land of love and hurt Life holds no reason for what we gain The love of hurt The hurt of love They come in a pair So please beware We hurt the ones we love We love the ones we hurt We execute our hurt for love yet Surrender our love for hurt We try to sweep our hurt under the door yet We let our love fall between the cracks*

love and hurt
A small clearing surrounded by trees, Everything is bright and vibrant. A crisp breeze blowing, Swaying the grass. The ground is covered by rocks Of various shapes, colors, and sizes. Bladed grass and ivy-like plants Growing in the cracks of the stones. A small white butterfly fluttering about, So full of beauty and life: Like the sweet-smelling flowers, So simple with a fragrance of purity. A soft breeze blows rustling the leaves, Seeming to shush the world. All is still, obeying the command, And all around is at peace.

Simplicity & Diversity
You used to tell me that beautiful things come from pain and adversity. Like motherhood, unconditional love, and true stories. As I stood in the middle of a room painted white, Staring at the remains of rolling hills burned to black, I saw you staring back at me. Burnt fields like black panther fur Shining against your bones Velvet black You’ve changed And changed and changed Yet your love still remains Burnt fields like black panther fur Whiskers are the needles on a compass Always pointing to the azure sky You used to sing when I cried Rolling your r’s over rrolling hills A haunting melody startling black birds into the night Feathered constellations against a sliver moon And lips pressed to my salty cheeks You told me that your favorite skin tone was chocolate, As you laid out in the sun hoping to melt. “A quarter black” is what you say when you want to feel proud, Even as you tell me stories of how your mother was called negrita, The girl who stood too dark amongst the crowd. Burnt fields like black panther fur Black like the broken wings of mothers before you Who had hands with scars from cotton seeds And blue veins like uprooted trees Stretching all the way to their tired knees Burnt fields like black panther fur You criticize your aging beauty Speaking in envy of the color gold Like you are a broken bowl in need of kintsugi Yet silver snakes still slither Over the pebbled river beds of your black curls Dripping down the small of your back Until they reach the base of your ivory spine Burnt fields like black panther fur You criticize your aging beauty Because you never thought Cocoa lips and sun spots painted on sculpted clay that never cracks Could ever look as stunning as it does on you You told me that it is better to speak my truth then tell pretty lies. So I told you mine and you cried, And cried and cried. But look where we are now, Standing beside each other with the same eyes, Just different reflections. Burnt fields like black panther fur Tongue like a sword set ablaze Tempered in pools of milk and honey Blood red sun grazing the tops of your eyelids Still reminiscent of those in old photographs Where you saw the little girl you search for in me Burnt fields like black panther fur I am sorry I made you cry But even when our backs are turned We are still Black birds singing in the dead of night Free Thank you mama for my broken wings.

my fingers have become bored with the quicksand of routine they prefer to dance erotically over my typewriter frolicking like naked ballerinas over an ancient stage spilling their secret thoughts onto blank page, after their day job threaded together over my lap, or bending over to reveal the contents of my burlap sack they have taken instead to jumping over cracks in the nothing of night stifling the sound of silence with assortments of clicks and clacks punching in the perfect pitch of keys to leave Beethoven blind from this symphony of notes combined and just like that at last they have unfolded some rhyme unachievable with ink and pencil, without the stencil of time dictating to work inside the lines

The road behind bares us a backdrop, too many nights find us fractured in our thoughts and the dreamers we once were are far from the two people who stand today. We're broken, mere splinters of our shipwreck past, driftwood on a shore that drowns every time the ocean breathes. The path is littered with slaughtered dreams that didn't bleed. As time and tide wait for no man shall we find it a tragic scene? simply erased with the sunsets demise? No one gets away without a scar and mine speak a road map to chaos and a found hello to you. Mine own scars are fingertips gouged into the sand and faded but salted by tears of the ocean, inerasable by the tide. A soul washed up upon the shore, a road map etched delicately into fine bones. You can trace where I'd been before. All roads lead to your hello. In broken lines and have uttered phrases and one too many empty night. Backdrop of chaos does paint in the darkest colors you could ever imagine . How does it gets so flawed by our own creations and vices my dear? Does it still ring ever so true? The bell rings true whispering distant voices Empty nights are just bottles lined up as dead soldiers We contemplated our own truths and fell victim to our own vices The backdrop is black, no colour beneath skin. Honestly? Where does our downfall begin? Two ships underneath the nightscape past the spark once understood the flame and nothing more . In empty alleys, like cats to prowl, we find our moments, and then bury our thoughts to lay for no others to see. half written papers and half heard conversation the keys of the piano haunt the silence as myself shadows that still remain. Nothing is but a thought and those are like dead flowers laid to waste a reflection of far better times The night crawls to meet the day as it has so many times before. The thought of the minds bottle lay empty upon the table. A fond farewell is but a sugar coated goodbye. And I seldom have minced my words to mask their sting. The page forever bleeds. Pages that lay scattered on a ***** floor Bleeding ink into cracks that will forever more hide the spirit of our souls.
