And Winters chill
Both wear the #enchanted
On their sleeves
Bare limbs of trees
Snug in snowy blankets
And carefree blossoms
Swaying their perfume
In the air
Intoxicating us with their charm
We become magical
Stories in the making

and there's nothing left for me
my valentine
i take my pain and life away
carving hearts in splattered paint
my valentine
a #kiss to crystal burn to lips
the devil's deal with fresh red ink
my valentine
they took so much away from me
and now there's nothing left

could hold her heart
so she tied it
to a string
and from a wound
in the sky
that black-lipped oyster
gifted her
a dark moon
her midnight lover
a tahitian pearl
now resting
in the hollow
of her neck
a raven's kiss

than the spread of pages bent with sciatic groan
desire hoked, still mine to slake & you
enriched in text count iambic thrusts as sweat pools in the #lacuna of our appendices
what need have we for notes?
when foxed hearts clasp the thread so well

our #lips a prism to cast
for bright & blind
a kind justice
strands dyed to match the shade spun by girlhood
(woody notes
in the cotton)
& sons
(wouldn’t)
& mothers
(should’ve)
& daughters
(didn’t)
& fathers
(couldn’t)
speak now
call her child
kiss it better

counting uncountable grievances
in the silence of darkness
entertaining intrusive thoughts
with mays, mights, & maybes
cutting away the #kiss of sunlight
who steals a pound of flesh
waiting, suffering the coming #wither
as it corrupts the final wish

I think she was tired of being forlorn. So I dived in, saying “I’ll be your king!”
She said in a thick cockney accent; “ na luv, I’m 4 undred yrs old! Your too young, soz.”

and silent sob to the sky
a pond is born of #raindrops
in an insignificant #lacuna
cut into the irrelevance
that is a worthless, granite face
beauty swells in the tragedy
of a #glowing moon
and the reflective third eye
now staring back at her

I heard the offbeat
sound,
grass growing
as all I touched
turned violent hatred,
I lived in Dostoevsky
and died in Woolf;
that was my
heart breaking
and the stones filling my
pockets
maybe I am the criminal
and my life is the sentence

in the phones reflection
no smile, no #empathy
devoid of curiosity
touched in the brain pan
#ridges turning into plains
the synapses smooth
to the erosion
of an aching wind
in search of meaning
or a wish to carry
...or even a leaf to chase
#vss365 #touch

a burning sunset of mayhemic fangs
its rictus, iron maw sears; mocking me
disabusing my fear
with ember remembrances
in a sermon of lashing tongues
it crackles accusations
from long-wronged voices
and i'm deafened by its taunts
submitting to its fiery recompense

her hand, it trembles so

Her #blood is singing.
She senses me, the fire inside causing the vein in her neck to throb. It's not that I'm hungry, but the hum underneath her skin is maddening. I cross the room unseen, hidden between the soft beats of time. I am the deep shadows behind the curtain. We disappear.
outside being bound
flesh, blood & bones
a shimmer skin poem
a malleable universe
of infinite switches
tingle limb-ing whims, witches
we recite death
as a finality
because in a version of life
we are mad scramblers
the nautilus curled long lines
of hungry mouths
