Zodiac Crossed Lovers

Eyes that shift from 
Moss to chocolate 
And a galaxy of stars
Resting beneath them
Child of air
Ruled by Love Herself
I sit on my rock
Content to watch you dance 
As you sing 
A wordless song

wristBurns

Left alone with thought 
The silent nag
The raucous silence
The torture of 
Not knowing 
Entwined with the 
Cowardice to ask
So I’ll sit in the dark 
And count the threads 
Of the ropes that bind me

The Untamable Girl

If you think you’re 
Fireproof enough to
Kiss the sun
If you think you’re 
Clever enough to
Harness the wind
If you think you’re 
Strong enough to
Seduce gravity 
If you think you’re 
Patient enough to
Caress the full moon

...I’ll let you try

nextChapter

The velvet purple sky 
Stood before me 
He dropped to his knees 
And offered me the moon
Its light slowly turned the frost
On the ground
Into a million glittering diamonds
He held his breath
And waited for the answer 
To a question that was never asked

Consumption

The fire 
I can feel it
Starting in my 
Fingertips 
And spread through
My chest
Until the whole of me
Is burning 
From the inside out
Now kiss me 
And make it an
Inferno

When I can bring you
Warmth of the soul, don’t complain
When you stand in shade.

The Tattooed Skull

The torrent 
Slicing from above
Water turning to ice
The shards 
Shredding my skin
Peeling flesh from bone
Until I finally recognize 
What I know
I’ve been all along 
A hollow thing
Tossed aside
Waiting for a 
Regeneration 
That won’t come
