The last time that I hurt this much,

It didn't hit me quite as hard.

Hopped up on barbiturates,

You took my wheelchair to the car.

You'd probly push me off a cliff,

if again you had the chance.

I wish that we had found your earring,

That night at our final dance.

Nikos Engonopoulos, from Bolívar, a Greek Poem

[faded-lyte]

The sun can’t set until welcomed by your arms,

The stars can't shine unless invited by your eyes,

Not even the night will come without your permission.

You make darkness bend at the knee,

and offer its submission.

Cursed to live beside you

When I'd rather be within

Diagnosed with madness

Frolicking with sin

Holding tightly onto something

That I know one day must end

I am fire

I am flame

I'll lick your eyes

And eat your veins

And when only ash remains

I'll take your soot and write my name

Your name, the truth, I carve it into my bones,

An ancient spell to bind myself together,

A holy word to cleanse myself of doubt,

It calls out for you from underneath my skin. 

I sit alone and listen.

If the only warmth

We share is through

My eyes resting on your smile

It will have been enough,

My

Resting

on your

It will have

To be

Enough.

Cut and run

she gets up just before the sun

holding her flip phone like a gun

forgetting who's her number one

he thought that they were done

otherwise he wouldn't phone

best they not be left alone

nobody wants to wreck this home

Hold me while we rot.

Hold me when we are nothing but buried treasures,

homes for things that wriggle,

and fuel for things that grow,

and still don't let go.

New Moon

The night I was born it was just me and the stars,

my cries so loud I'd scared off the moon.

And longing for a light I had never known,

my fresh tears soaked into the earth, her first taste of me.
