my mortal image
a wintry sheath
of sovereign thoughts
surging like a tempest
within my veins

it was the dark root
of a nightly forest
with tangled paths
like breaking stone

you dug me out
of those trenches
and loved me
back to health

you have nourished my breath
softly whispering
with pieces of my heart
a feeble murder land

my friend.
I wonder
if you are still taking pictures
of telephone wires
down each road that dead ends
within each midnight star that winks
and I wonder
if you want to listen
and tell stories
of how there is still ache
that burns lungs
and each word
that gets caught up on lips

and I am uncatchable.
everything eventually fades
to black and white
deep above the sky
deep into my heart
I will soon forget you
don't worry
my feet comforts the soil
that makes the earth move
you won't be able to catch me
on that road to Rome
hearts grow restless as they
often do
and there is always
an incurable pang
that sits on our chests
I’m not sure what’s worse
the desert or the ocean
they are both vast
in their own mirage
and I know, what I know, what I know…
the stillness of my breath
is endless

ghosts you know.
the winter is calling me
as I marvel in your skin
one more time
and I'm catching your stars trembling
as my lips lay low
against your pulse
why is it
that the veiled future
intrudes
like the sunlight
to the dark of our sky
and you slip away again
just before my dawn rests
on my bones

I’ve been writing for centuries.
I’ve been writing since I was
in the womb
scratching my fists
in small rumbles -
call me crazy
but I fall in love with strangers,
I whisper this -
I stole that from a girl
who was taking her last breath,
me -
I know how to love
I wear an affection,
an actuality of my energy
and intimacies bleed off my skin
a little stubbornness never hurts -
I will tell you, that I’m a free spirit
of sorts, I belong to no one
and I feel like no one belongs to me
I like when people want to explore me,
digging up my bones,
finding my moons,
and softly peeling away my destruction
in a black and white darkness -
a rebellion soul I have at times
where my ink writes red on cold black nights,
and catching my sacred pulses that beat
as loud as thunder breaking through a sky
where you can feel my delicate drops,
my rain against your skin -
I simply want my own moon at times,
and my twined engagements
of my epoch love will never die
as I take my last breath -
so I’ve been writing about it
and I will continue for centuries to come...

in the dark.
if I could hold the wind
between my fingertips
and the days of certainty
where you know exactly
who I am
and how my heart beats
then you pull away
as if we are strangers
humming to thoughts
along a crowded street
where I may never
see your face
disillusioned
spellbound
hypnotized
I’m dizzy
the rush of my blood
the feel of my pulse
excites and beats my veins feverishly
and I
will always
want to hold on to you
like this poetry on my tongue

birds on a wire.
you know I miss you
you were my sidekick
my rebel of war
my truth behind lies
you were a land I call my friend
my fate
that feel good wisdom
creeping onto my skin
in compressed moments
I often go back to the place
we first met
I sit and look over your journal
I dust off your words
I cultivate your bones
I breathe life back into what's left
the pieces and fragments
all the finer details of remnants that lived inside your soul
chanting from my lips
for you to hear
the sweet sounds, the chamber music
once more

anticipation.
I screamed
deep from my chest…
I wanted your tender
lips nibbling
at my skin,
your hot breath
inviting my inner thighs
to your teeth,
and your strong hands
feeling my supple
moments of joy
and pleasures…
you, just you
but I sat content
listening to your
banter -
of a once upon
summer musings
as we laughed…

her words.
I am not easy to love,
I get lost in my own
what ifs
and what nots
where inevitably
I always end up trying
to string my heart
back together,
with fine needle point
I learned
from my grandmother
it is not fit for love,
my heart that is,
and I swear
one of these days
it’s going to drown
in the very ink

tomorrow I’ll feel better, promise.
I use to write here,
a long time ago
slowly my mind creeps
into play of unnoted thoughts
in my subconscious
I feel like I parallel
on a tight rope,
where one deep breath
will break my bones
my spirit is gone,
gone like the soft spring
that left the leaves
to the busheling snow
and I feel like a dead poet,
crackling in the after glow…

clearly, I see.
there is always the feel of you
of what I think I need
to stay within, to just stay
for yearning days...
but give me your undeniable air
of a warm breeze
of a spring and the high seas
tender on me...
but give me your hands
to caress and please
to strengthen and receive
your undeniable love...
to the crumbling of my bones
my skin is bare
my truth was ripped without a care
my grief sits tight on my heart
as the ocean was spun apart...
depth into the black of night
deeper and deeper to no end in sight
just ignore my breaths it will pass
just ignore my thoughts it doesn't matter
just ignore my love...
you don't need me

a lost story.
Neptune bleeds its secrets
I would be fine
if I never talked to you again…
oh, but how I wouldn’t
I would speak to the trees
that rustle in the forest,
and adorn their silent suffering
within a heart that broke like glass,
as shards of those pieces
stick to my lungs…
I can’t breathe
and they are sharp tonight
when I gave you pieces of my soul,
they were tender places of paths
where no one traveled to
when you asked to taste my skin
I reached out my hands
to take your palm in mine,
and I could feel the thick cement walls
of vigilance
crumbling down around us
when you collected fragments
from all the words I spattered
above the moons reach
from my chest bones,
I felt alive and wicked
the air around us
felt so clean
as if we were folding our own stars
to form patterns in the sky,
and as it is, this is just a fairy tale
a fairy tale
of my heart
as it beats
in your hands

I won’t miss you.
you have slipped away
grips of silence to barricade
the telling tales of a midnight
that fancies the skin
and clutches the moment
your lips
my lips
our lips
from where the time
stood still
beating silently
now stolen

these streets have your name.
softly quiet,
behind a sheer curtain,
an unmade bed
sometimes my eyes are glints
of whispers, and you can hear my soul
I wear your skin, like I wear mine
gentle and next to my spine
stealing kisses, my words left on my lips
we are the living with desires, walking through fires
and I would love you still
to feel
every song I hear has your soul in the words
you are here, and I am
I retreat to your moments
I need a good defense
because I would feel you all over again

journals of winter.
I feared the cold months
took me further
away from you,
autumn reaching for
her cold breath
to dispel immanent
bone crushing blows
against the tear stained
earth we linger upon -
lovers, and guests sipping wine
from stars only to ignite
in a heap of loneliness,
and the faithful eyes
looking back to their
crooked hands holding
onto rosary beads
for one last prayer…
the decay of leaves
fall to the ground…
and I am cold
in every way
