Visceral

The fire is visceral

Whiskey is murky; filthy

I am tangled

I danced to all the tunes and still come out going in

And well, there is no one there in the wind

Not a one but me

I purge to accept this to be

Rebelling and a stubborn soul

The fire is low

And so I wonder how it feels

How does it stay alive

When I’m soft

Him virile

With molded melodies

Let’s make passion out of ash

Let’s pretend I didn’t say what I said

I wanna be like fire too

Don’t you?

Possessive Eclipse

What will linger when I’m gone
If time erases everything
Are some things meant to stay
I wanna leave an imprint
You’d try to forget me
But where will you ever find a ghost as haunting?
Stitched beneath your skin
A whisper in the bones

When I Go

Hold my love when I go

Sing him tunes of eternity when I go

Heal him tightly when I go

Bless him while rising when I go

Sow him with peace when I go

Promise new lovers who dance till full

Does it exist I wouldn’t know

What feels real is felt low I am told

Hold my love when I go

Stillness

Around you I tread gently

I treat you with kid gloves

I rock you to sleep

Thinking little nothings

Riding the wave

I try to behave

My heart is your slave

She prefers it that way

There’s an unspoken rule here

As we tangle and toss my dear

I won’t speak if you don’t

You have my word

Insatiable

She has snake locs and a snake tattoo

I never knew what to do 

Cause how does one trust a shape shifter 

When it takes full moons to begin to see

Just too much

Just in time, and time is precious

.

She was everything

Off spectrum 

Off kilter

Fit

I got lost in her labyrinth face

I slipped on her bones

I yelled at her

.

One time I hung in her pupils

Then the light hit her

I fell in

She had me follow a safe trail to her heart

It was the biggest muscle in her entire body

I was impulsive to take pictures

. 

She turned into a siren

And wooed me to rest then

It was the best sleep of my existence

.

She gave me everything 

I yelled at her some more

We bit each other’s thumbs and back

I heard and listened, devoured all she passioned about

Her snakes adored me, they gave me a name

And leaned in when they smelled me

. 

She smelled like woods

Woods, the incense 

She let me read her books of her poems

I read the ones about me first of course

They were my least favorite 

So she loves me most and longer, and longer, and longest

I never expressed how I needed her to

She wouldn’t allow it

.

She’d just paint her nails

And tell me I was the seed that planted her

I just couldn’t believe it 

As an insignificant star

But she let me play with her in the sky

She let me nuzzle between her inner thighs

Then confessed how she fell

.

After every dance

After every voyage 

During all the silence

.

She never wanted me to draw her

She wanted me to forget

She wanted to hang out again 

She wanted to take it all back 

She wanted to give it all 

She wished she’d never met me 

She was grateful asf

.

She wanted more, expected nothing

She was insatiable 

Mad; total madness

A step ahead and two steps back 

I used to help her off her rocker

Gave her dimples and a heart shaped birthmark 

All of her pleasurable things

.

And she never hit me back

How fucked is that

I never heard from her again 

Sent me back on Earth’s shoulders; simple
