I dreamt of a candle in pale hands
With a crimson flame burning down down down
Wax dripping on soft skin
Too gentle for it's heat
But there was no flinch or falter
Until it melted down to nothing
Leaving only a curl of smoke and scalded flesh
As its legacy
-
Day 1/14
Kisses between
Desperate mouths
Inhaling like a drag
From a cheap cigarette
Remembering a time
When all we desired
Were words
Instead of actions
The rising storm
And the tumultuous sea
Of gray and green
Cannot be mightier
Than our love
And the sun
Somewhere deep
In this scaffolding of bones
My heart aches
For love
And the stars
Summer is gone
Just a heartbeat away
My life feels empty
As I waste my days
Sitting inside
Seeing no one at all
Maybe life will be easier
At school in the fall
The mountain mist
(And the paleness of its shroud)
Is a constant reminder
(In the darkness of my thoughts)
Of how much I really
(Unknowingly, but undoubtedly)
Missed you
My heart is torn
Between two homes
The one i know
And the one I've yet to find
I wandered into the purple mist
And listened to the eerie croaks
Of creatures in the dark
Paying no mind
To the smoke and haze
That smothers out my spark
When is the last time
That i thought
For myself?
My mechanical brain
Made of gears and gold
Robotic and cold
I do what im told
And nothing exceeding
What was programed
In my bones
Strings of lights and
Yellow tapestries
Brighten up my room
In an attempt to hide
The darkened mess
That lurks in the corners
"You cant have it all," they say
And that, for me, is fine
I don't need everything
Just enough to get by
I don't want a mansion,
Or love, or wealth
I just want to know
How to love myself
