The constellation of the night sky
Dotted with Asterism
Calling our attention to the mystical lights
Plotting an image on our minds
The celestial space is where minds wander*

*Asterism are pattern of stars visible in the night sky

you speak with fine lips
modeled from flickering stars
with words of the sky
I love to feel your body next to mine
I languidly run my nails up and down your chest.
Time has been kind to you, you've aged like fine wine
Next to you I feel delirious that you desire me.
I feel addicted to you, my passion is boundless.
Every time I see you, I smile,
Wantonly I want you to defile me.
Craving you like an addict craves his drug of choice.
Your touch emblazones my need, my lustfulness.
How long will our desire last?
Until we run out of breath?
Until we desire others?
I kiss you deeply, hear your heart pound in time with mine,and
I lie in the knowledge that we will never desire another

She woke up this morning
in her cigarette ashes
and found last night’s late pleasure
still stretched out on her bed—

How remarkable that
a single blue-eyed boy
could take just one look
of hers and have her
in his chains the next.
Willingly, of course,
but does it really make
a difference with the heart?

The heart which
tore out of her open chest,
latched firmly to his
and made a scene painted
with love in her
one-room apartment.

Her fingertips reached out
for his bare back—
warm to the touch,
and full of promises.

I wish he held me like he does his last cigarette.
Like that cigarette is the last bottle of water in the desert.
I wish he would inhale my scent like he did that toxic smoke.
Like the scent of me calmed his mind as much as the nicotine did.
I wish he would grasp me firmly on a winter morning like he did his last cigarette.
Waiting for a bus, or a train, sharing a piece of his day with me.
I wish he would want me, for a minute, for a moment.
But wishing for him, is wishing on a star that has been dead one hundred years, but still shines bright in the darkened sky.
Every morning
she sipped her coffee,
smoked her cigarette,
wrote him a love letter,
and cried a little bit.

Does my poetry
harm you?
I'm sorry
i only mean to
slip my blades on
myself
but sometimes
i forgot they hide
inside my thoughts
as well.

Lunar
summer nights
fairy lights
women rights
skinny tights
we ended up with
lovers' fights

plain as day
you took away
a sunshine ray
left me with
no words to say

feelings fade
a girl's parade
to hold her head high
and hide the mess you made

Ominous
There was fire in his eyes.
She couldn't put the fire out,
so she embraced it, and set herself
on fire.

adore my beauty
before it grows old
look into my eyes
before they grow cold
undress your body
before I go blind
tell me you love me
without lying
kiss my lips
before they go dry
give me a reason to live
**before I die
