...an inkling
unsteady
faint
dim
dim
dim

"What do you want from me"
"Absolutely nothing"
...his response expected, but not
at the same time.
 
We haven't spoken in quite some time
but he'd reach out
sending glimmers of hope
that lead to smoke.
 
Why didn't he understand
that no matter what it was
that kept us apart,
I still loved him.
 
so much.
 
I'm complex
As is he
But I speak
He sweeps
I'm fragile
He's steel
even his eyes
But I loved that about him
even if it'd ice me
sometimes
often.
 
...it's good to be different
but not to hurt
one another.
 
The cool to my hot
icing me over
with a word
a look
a nothing.

- Note to self -

 
 
...this wreck stallion
perfection
sparks a loom
weaving a tale
so black
so thick
longing the sky
for flight from
a glittered tar
wet with grief
blues, bark and pleas

 
his drupelet heart
so deep, so sweet
rare, they like
to eat
slow
mouths filled with gloom
they grin
with glimmers dripping
their chins
chins
chins
 
Dark flames
fire his blood
hot black
he sees not
himself
but another
in this ebon-pond
staring back
with pale souls
open
for them to see
this countdown
to his cherry top
frozen
in all his jewels
a night-lumen-kaleido-pitch
silking ...

Kat Graham - All Your Love



...tell me what it feels like
what it looks like...
because I no longer
remember the feeling...

A woman
with long blonde hair
long to the floor
sits nude
in a birdcage
inside my head.

She lay
on a garnet, chaise lounge
the floor, black
the cage, gold
who is she....and what does she want?

I've seen her face many times
only when she's angry
and when she is,
she rushes her surround, grasps the bars,
 and violently shakes her prison.
Who is she?

mascara dripping down her face
she's beautiful
a lovely red mouth
blonde eyes
she tires and collapses the ground

canary, canary
canary, canary
 in my head
canary
circling my mind
waiting for her key
canary
Who is she?
to fly free...




Florrie - Real Love


...I danced with you all week
tipping the thought of us, 
your hands on my shoulder.

confession:
I like things
that are no good for me
addicted to the ones
with one wing 
and no reflection.

That being said,
I know where we stand
And I'll be sure to say
there is no "us"
even though 
they all 
always come back
for more
of me.

You're not the first
and for the first time
I'm the one in red
leading you astray
hot-leaded
with mal intentions.

Run from me
Run
Run from my spiders
and red velvet,
because
I don't even know
what I want anymore
or better yet,
how I want it...

Coldplay - Hymn For The Weekend


...they've been searching for a while now
waiting eons to find him,
the one
to serve their King.

Walking for centuries
their feet never tire
effortlessly gliding
'cross the Earth,
their eyes awake
their minds open.

Spinning into being,
they find 
a wilting body in stone
and know it's him
white-winged
on the edge.

He knows nothing 
of himself
or his fate...
and they take him
wash him
teach him
love him...


Purity Ring - Begin Again


...bath on, per usual
my deluge surges
through the faucet
hot like I like
foamed like I like
I lay

ribboned in wet
I close my eyes
and slip under
a chardonnay float
by my side
just in case, of course

I do this thing
a melody on repeat
til I see every lick, vocable
til I see his voice, his face
and my own bow-tie
white, with a large pearl
at its knot

I drift along
wishing of swords
hoping of apples
gilded over for my own pleasure

horned for black feathers
and velvet beaks
I swan,
dreaming of that peak
wishing of that peak
hoping for that peak
in the foggy distance
far, far away...
