She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.
With  that one smooth stroke of the blade
He knew it was over.
The love they had shared
Was history now.

As the petals fell to the marbled floor
His knees buckled
And he knew his heart would bleed for eternity

His breath stopped,
Watching as the greatest love he ever had
Walked away
Not even glancing back.

Break my bones;
cut my throat.
Pull me open,
learn the ropes.

Breath me in;
taste the fear.
Shank my skin;
stand and cheer.

Kick my head;
let me bleed.
Unbolt my veins;
enjoy the read.

Gouge my eyes;
punch my face.
Wrap me up
in your embrace.
Get to know me like I do you; inside and out.

since lies are sweet
and the truth is bitter
i'm not surprised
i liked you better

I am not a moth
but I fly to other flames
moths do not feel shame

You’re genius
You’re empty,
You lift me up
You bring me down,
You comprehend what others cannot
You’re lost in ways others can’t imagine,
You bring laughter and love
You’re consumed with pain and hate,
You achieve the impossible
You destroy dreams,
You comfort
You hurt,
You seek out beauty
You envision violence,
You recognize greatness
You’re oblivious to evil,
You think uniquely
You’re run by others,
You love strong
You hate emphatically,
You’re self-correcting
You’re self-destructive,
You strive for more
You beg for less,
You listen
You ignore,
You’re stronger than most
You’re as weak as they come,
You’re my supporter
You’re my enemy,
You’re part of me
You’re beyond my control,
You’re my mind
You’re not me.

I loved each of you with all my heart.
     You were my fierce light in the dark
     corridor that is my life. I treasure
     each touch, smile and secret we shared.
     You were my favorite. You always are.
     You were all just as broken as I was.

I'm the warm cup of coffee
he drinks every morning,
but today he's forgotten me

I've been waiting for his
mouth to swallow me all day,
and I'm losing my warmth with
each time he forgets to drink me

After months,
his tongue longed for my sweet taste,
but now I'm cold, bitter, and sour
I’m angry and hurt.
There is a place high
Up, up above
In the vast blue sky
Yet deep, deep within
The cavern of my being

Silence, light and smiles
Dance together
Nothing happens
Just Is

In giving
Is expansiveness
Truth within

In fear
Is contraction
The mind world
Of desire
Control
And illusion

Let all fade
In the blue ocean
Of silent love
