her naked body
splayed across her bed
arms wrapped against his lean muscular body
breathing in sync
exhale, inhale
body against body
the glass wall now broken
shattering barriers between them
collecting their uncertain love
fusing them together as one
a love unbroken;
solidified,
now has formed
every move he makes
like nothing she's ever experienced
left afterwards to rest
against his body
head against his heart
thumping, fast
then slowing down
like a butterfly wing's flutter
when sleep enfolds him in its arms
and comforts him, simultaneously as she,
oh how that night felt
with him
and oh how she misses
his once undying love,
because that night
and that burning love
has now turned to embers
and blown away with the gusts of wind,
never to be seen again
yearning to be with him
she knew that night meant forever
a bond to never be broken
but he didn't seem to realize this
and broke everything they ever had
like a crack in a line
a hole in a heart
and now scattered embers
blow across the earth
never to be ignited again

You stole my heart like it was gold
But really it was cold
And you dropped it before my coldness conquered your warmth
Before my darkness conquered your brightness
Slowly your light moved in and slowly my darkness consumed you
You lit up my world while yours was getting darker
Slowly my world turned to gold while yours turned to cold rugged iron
And when you left you took the world of gold with you
*You stole me like gold
I just made it up. Not sure where it came from.

What if sound was robbed,
Held at gunpoint
And smuggled away
From me
Into a duffel of contraband.

What if songs became nothing?
What would I
Do? As the bus
Bounces up and down,
When the sun hasn't
Yet stolen it's kiss.
The window yields
Bland scene
And I would recognize
The silence
In the detestful
Way I do
When I forget the wires.

What if his voice
Was gone?
Could I remember it?
Could I fill in sound as his
Lips moved,
God
All I'd ever see
Would be lips.
And I don't like mouths as it is.
But maybe
They'd be my new wires
And my eyes would follow
Their parted
Movements, enamored.

What if instructions were silenced
And I was left to guess at
What to do?
Emergency situation
Stealing my life away
Because I couldn't hear
Anything about
The oxygen supply
Above my head.

I'd perish in silence.

Would I speak?
Or only write?
Would I feel heard
If I could barely fathom listening?

Charging language with meaning
To the utmost possible degree

Chewing on the raw image
With eyes sharpened
Ripping into the pictorial flesh

.

A time suffocated
By terminal space

Remix of coded subjectivity
Black holes of pseudo-subjectivity
Surrounded by possessions

.

This biological catastrophe
A post-human construct

Fear of weaker morals
Elixirs into the cup of life
Ideas of what it means to be human

When the sun fades away, paving night's way
and the moon swoops in, riding a swift chill
as we sit on the sand, held in the moment's sway
i reach across and tuck, a curl gone astray

It seems like yesterday, strangers we were
the tide came and went, but I wouldn't stir
bobbing along the sea, a boat without an oar
drifting along to where, I couldn't say anymore

then you waltzed in, like a cool summer breeze
when i glimpsed you at first, time stood still
my heart that had gone dead, knew life again
a smile and a skip later, my demons were slain

I've never known love to hold magic such
as if I were a violin, strings begging to be touched
and you played a dream, that ripped me apart
kiss me my love, now that you've stolen my heart

Slippery (thief)
The sun beats down
upon
stagnant water.
revealing what should have  been
a girl's
reflection.

But she's no longer standing up,
She went in with a plop,
and the light reveals a deadly abduction.

You came into my vision like fire over glass,
I never would have let you in like I did unless you had.
You ran across my skin teasing every hair,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would feel this bad.
You stole my thoughts from me and replaced them with you,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would be so vacant.
I break like a dead tree as I bend to reach you in vain,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would just take it.
I feel the flesh burn and break from my bones as you walk over me,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would be this.
You're turning to gold right in front of me,
I never would have let you if I could have anticipated the kiss.
You flew in on gilded wings and broke my hope with one smile.
I never would have let you in but I did and I still would.
