Literature

Into the Rain

Your presence teases me, Makes me believe that I see you Out of the corner of my eye, Standing in the alleyways, Or hiding behind bookshelves. I see a glimpse of you, And then you're gone, Shoulders fading from view. Something makes me follow, Rush to where I saw you And look wildly for another sign That you're still here. I follow you through storms, Rain so fierce it's almost blinding, Chasing your smile only For you to turn away and disappear Each time I think I've found you. When I finally catch up with you, Just when I can't go any further, You're somewhere I can't reach you; You're with people I don't know, Perched high on a balcony, Or

What He Left Behind

His name is like A tattoo upon my skin That wont go away, Even though I try desperately To scrub it off, Leaving angry red marks And broken skin On the permanent scar He left behind.

Literature

She Cared

She said she didn't care And that she didn't love him, But when he called her up Crying, she caved, And he took another Piece of her heart away

Literature

Of candles and consequences.

Write, poet: write of misshapen mishaps, of the long awaited rain, of a walk with butterflies, of little things that fill homes, of fathers who lose their children, of the clear resonance of the empty north, of snow in rain when coming back from fencing, of a curious warm feeling -- that warmth for you (burning me down, millions of years in the making), of the end of you and I.

Literature

the root, the stem, the rain

bringing me back again to you, behind the hydrangeas. we meet in silence, unspoken answers to unasked questions, whispers of dilemma and tentative congress. lie here with me a while, beautiful and broken, our only purpose to mirror the gentle falling of the sky, hearts released in vapor and hair awash in a pool of petals.

Literature

Neutrino dowsing

Love is a brilliant idea, but around the most placid dreams come flowers and silence, serendipity and snowfall, matutinal silhouettes in the realm of awakening moss. When cats revolt, our darker purpose may finally become clear -- with child-like wonder and the charm of grit neutrino dowsing will not be our last resort. Love is, after all, a brilliant idea.

Seer

Sweet poison, Trickles down- I suck it out And convulse Electrifying I’m a seer Able to see Magical lands Balance Between dark and light The poison seeps out Perspiration Words course through My mind Thoughts Disturb me Remind me of something In the tangible world I’ve tried to forget My body cold now I rise I’d cry if I could But I laugh Hysterically My angel was right Life’s a joke

Literature

Lesbian

God loved the two girls at the end of my street. Everywhere they went, they went together, hand-in-hand so they didn't get lost, laughing at everything and nothing all at once. He was so proud of them. They never stole, they never swore, they brushed their teeth twice a day and always said their prayers. It was a gift, said the townspeople, that two girls as perfect as they were were born in the same place. an even greater gift, said they, that those two were the best of friends. Long nights spent giggling in rooms with closed doors was a good thing, back then. One day, halfway between their houses and in the middle of th

Blood Stained Glass

Pools of blood are on the floor Painting shards of broken glass. Yet we step upon them still As we talk about the past. Each time we put our foot down, The stained mosaic cracks. Can’t you see it doesn’t change Who broke it in the past? The glass opaqued with gore Will reflect iconoclasts As will the scarlet sheen. They will not reflect the past. The bones and glass inside your feet Squeal and click and crack. Your wince is louder than your voice So why talk about the past? Sweet merlot drips from our toes. Our soles are skinned and slashed. How much letting must we do To heal from the past? One day perhaps we’ll drown.

interior design for broken homes

i. here in isolation, we begin the fallout. everything around us makes us pull the knives out. once i turned to you when all the world was making chaos sounds; now we run away and run our ships aground, entire days lost. what cost can be discerned of loss and lives set fire? churn my stomach into wreckage, lover. what will we have learned? ii. as the night evades, we are tyrants in our ruling places. color me so purple that the worries fall up into space. ardor isn't earned, it is the currency of loneliness. i'm spent. iii. i've spent the last three days in solitude, a quiet i can't place now that it's over; what a melody is overbearing noise! no choice stings quite like you, and no regret is louder than the truth. up on the roof, the rain gives all of us illusions: we are not what we believe to be revealed. iv. if i had to explain it— and someday i worry i will— i would first look for paper, pen, mercy. v. the blueprint of a heart is volatile; everyone knows but no one

Prayer

the last time I was in a chapel I got a nosebleed at the start of when peace like a river I don’t get nosebleeds I took it as a sign I retreat inside my skin not because it’s safer but because I know this temple was built to withstand the burning spirit that inhabits it these windows shatterproof these walls flame resistant at home I make my own stained-glass busted mirror —pools of silver crimson-dipped fractals of my busted fist repeated my mother always said I had too much fire in me I am a fire sign after all what did she expect I contain it within myself no, I try when I open my mouth embers erupt I catch the

Literature

Rats

I’m sat here in this heat, little one, trying to find the poison. It is the thread between me and you? The thick blood in our veins, slowly killing us even as it keeps us alive? When the time comes, if I can will I? You will not thank me, little one, you do not have to. To give one’s life is one thing, reputation and honour another. Can I do the right thing in the dark, when no one will see? Or am I no better than the rest? I keep asking why this is us, little one, or if this is us at all. In the 70s the rats escaped the cage only to lock us in it.

Literature

Well, I miss you...

I miss you because I hold you so dearly You're mostly in my mind, but not because I worry But because I miss the gentle voice that inspired my poems The playful personality that cheered me up every moment Your adorable ways, that would always warm my heart How beautiful you are that you'd break the fourth wall Your difference between girls, being real, not a thought My heart was sad until here, you were brought Because every time I go to sleep I wish that you were here, laying down next to me Hopefully, you feel the same Because without you, I just can't stay sane

Literature

i will love you forever

I Will Love You Forever I love you so deeply, I love you so much, I love the sound of your voice And the way that we touch. I love your warm smile and your kind, thoughtful way, the joy that you bring to my life every day. I love you today as I have from the start, and I'll love you forever with all of my heart When I'm with you, eternity is a step away; my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you, you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your heart, I love you more and more. W

love is...

Love Is; Love is when you care more about someone else's happiness than your own, You would do anything for them, You'd rather be with them than anyone else in the world, You would die so they could live, When you lose them it feels like you lose yourself, They're the only thing you can ever think of, You never even dream of being with anyone else, because they're everything you want, They have many faults, but you're blind to them, You would take them back no matter what they do, When you're with them it's the happiest times of your life, but when you're without them it feels like there is this great big hole in you You always wa
