cocoon
entwined limbs
tangled hair trauma wrapped around my heart melted with the uneven skipping of two sore beats, there is no safer place for you than between my aching arms. Short poem
i want to
live in the end.less paradigms that trap your soul with mine for a cosmic second on the horizon- halving in open question please. pause.and.don't.restart.the.world shatter the lights; reflections ever invade our presence. we face each other in the wilderness of dreams -hearts racing- love will always be insufficient from me, to you. time is the currents space the deep oceans every star with its secret womb burns in glorious birth sweet… my sweet, life is for the living. just--shine.suck.dance.pluck.hurt.tingle.break.miss.trace.bleed.taste & orgasm don't look at the destination before feeling the experience my arms are out finding you heavy and sinking. i blow wishes into a shipwrecked vessel push one last breath for surface and hail the world goodbye. to my love forever remaining:
we are temporary fluorescents in the downpour
of stars collectively rotating in rhythm with the land, whispering of dreams or passing as leaves nightfall's vagabond breath slips over the frayed orbit of its cares with our kiss that melts the brightness of moon i do not depend to live outside her witnessing lo the furious hours, the heart's alchemy, the blood that runs through one for the other; i want to touch the bare torment to feel real poets break each other open i want pulsing bodies 'neath smouldering satin ripples and a pair of machetes. |
today
when i heard about your crash my world froze
nothing matters anymore all the petty disagreements i take them back all i ever wanted was a splint of your strength to prove that i'm worthy of being your daughter gold coast highway
gold coast highway
with my night ride flatlining the street lights only time feels infinite. roar wind sheer race machine locks of moon enclose my eyes end world. earth's gloom heart buckles misunderstood passages. speed wolf caught on a passionate gleam remember hand holding the once glory of being open, face cold tight grip on steering my head is lint and the wrong things feel right. Lovenote
grazing your beard over my lips, i breathe in your essence, musk untamed you are my home. in tatters and fireworks. skin on skin beginning their memory sequence, diaphanous drapes swelling and crushing rhythmically catching the moonlight ribcage pressed tight, no tear escapes without a furrowed brow. feeling beautiful in this sweet- aching-hurt. bodies burning, blood-soaked. like pomegranate orbs in the milky way. tides' unfolded calm, drifting to soft repose- the world is a soluble solution in your eyes i kiss you. passionately-- just as the night air sways your eyelids into forgetting our evenings and days of an unsteady time series darling, when you sleep, i miss you; forever. you asked me if i was sure
i'm prone to falling in love with you
everyday i sink deeper and find no healing in the dark the only certainty is love and uncertainty can you carry this and my rose stained veins that await the crushing of my heart listen to me now and not to them we are alive to risk our lives dying by the hour for every lovely moment--to arrive--in this moment at night i slip into your dreams you are merciless that smitten smile and the sparkle in your eyes wake up sweet and kiss me realistically once we are as selfish as our creator stars- made to fall in orderly strings like glow worms the long night has abandoned all matter--we're free and i can tell you i am ready to believe in soulmates |
