As I watch the blood pour,
I feel you leave my system
a little more.

Look at the stars and how they spell out your name
In the light of the moon everything is so different yet all the same
The spaces between my fingers are still empty and my soul is still cold
But the lighting makes everything seem so undeniably old
I'm seeing black and white flashbacks on the big screen
Showing me everything we were and implying what we'll always be
Though it's long past our time and the world is in color
The unchanging stars seem to last forever

As a Poet
 Dec 2014 Janine
AllAtOnce
I think that as poets we see the world differently than everyone else
We see broken concrete and wonder what secrets it can tell
And every tick of the clock tells a story if you care enough to listen
And nights spent asleep are because inspiration is missing
Old paper makes you wonder if you could have loved a person who held it before
And broken hearts make you write with the ink being tears on the floor
The sky is a masterpiece and we must all be stars
Because nothing else could even come close to what poets are
So when the stars explode and hearts begin to break
It's a beautiful thing and will be written about for days

She has ink dripping
from her lips. He blames
that on the poetry she
drinks after each and
every kiss she gives to
him on his cheeks and
ribs. Sometimes in his
mouth as she claims that
it's her cathedral and the
only place where she
confesses all of her darkest
sins. He sends kisses down
her spine. As if it holds the
knobs to the doors of her
fragile broken soul. Hoping
that each kiss will lead him
in. This is the story of where
their new life begins. There
tangled in the sheets of his
warm cozy bed. And that was
the moment when they both
paused and said the best is yet
to come. And our young love
will live on and on* ~

You are One in a million
But a million in one
It's what I want

Yet you are nowhere to be found
