I still have everything you gave me, Wrapped neatly in the chest of my heart As a special gift from one adored It beats in rhythm to my heartbeat Unable to distinguish which is which Because it has bled its color into my veins Time has sucked in much, Some colors have faded, some thre...Read more

Good mother, I’m writing this hoping you can see the sincerity behind these words. I’m here with pen and paper, but the quill of my heart is doing the writing. They limit how much of my love I can show, but they’re all I have right now. You are not just a role defined by...Read more

When the heart Calls a ceasefire And refuses to pump grief Into your veins Let the chest go quiet Let the blood forget its old orders Stop running to meet a world that bleeds you Stop answering every wound Forget love, forget hate, just once Let the body be empty and honest Let...Read more

I married the pain, Now, I’m numb. The screaming silence That weakened my joints, Applauding, laid me in this chair that was designed, To make me remember Remember my wedding night. It speaks in the little things, The clock ticking, reminding me of The precious time wasted, sitting I...Read more

So long as the coffee machine breaks and your love spills hot across the counter I’ll leave the mess there. So long as you come back at the end of the day, the rest goes blind. The rest goes deaf.

When new lions take a pride, the cubs disappear. The complex blend of survival is how we forget — Not all at once, but in pieces — because the body is barren? No. Because it remembers how to build again with shaking hands. The lioness doesn’t erase. She revises. She takes the shape of the...Read more

I remember your eyes, The prettiest shade of brown, Dulcet as rain tapping, A windstorm held still behind brown eyes. I still hear the sound things make when falling, The fall of your voice, the plate, the caving of my chest. I’m coming apart, bolt by bolt, Learning how quiet rui...Read more

Sitting down, like he always does, Crossed legs, coffee mug in his right and Bread in his left. Except his seat stays cold, Wood holding the shape of him, Not the weight. Moving forward, slowly, praying.. Let it be real I set his cup by the sink, Wipe a ring that isn’t there, The...Read more

Sacrifices are to be made, Made to achieve our goals Goals that benefit the human race Race on slowly, a step at a time Time which walketh not, yet runneth Runneth so shall we, in time we beat Beat our chest proudly, all the ego and aura Aura intimidating, weakness torn by pain ...Read more

Trust Once Had Now looks like Forgery by ink Gone Kin Side-eyes At Closed doors Love with a deadbolt Burnt Plates Passed quiet Salt tastes like Secrets kept warm Cold

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow I will still grow, sprouting up from the soil As a young plant to the world I will be free to spread open my weak, soft leaves, And receive the first rain drop, Dance in the storm, wither in the sun And survive the trampling of feet Tomorrow, and tom...Read more

Sin drips from open mouths Skin burns where fingers trace Slowly o'er the soft breasts Sharp breaths break into moans Sweat pools in dark hollows Souls clash like thunder now Silence screams when you leave

Betty Botchway bought a big bag of balloons for her boyfriend. Hilbert Harley happily handed the huge hamper, hurriedly howled. "We would waste it anyway, we want" he whispered wittingly Betty boxed his big head between her bag and her breast, buttered up by his big talk. Entered the ele...Read more

Asked for music. Got your heartbeat instead. Breathing, finally calm. I called it peace then. But now I’ve realized, it was your name. Tried to deny we were meant to be. The riots in my head wouldn’t stop screaming. Now I’m here to give in to love. Until I am full with your thirsty kisses....Read more
