Zodiac Crossed Lovers

Eyes that shift from 

Moss to chocolate 

And a galaxy of stars

Resting beneath them

Child of air

Ruled by Love Herself

I sit on my rock

Content to watch you dance 

As you sing 

A wordless song

wristBurns

Left alone with thought 

The silent nag

The raucous silence

The torture of 

Not knowing 

Entwined with the 

Cowardice to ask

So I’ll sit in the dark 

And count the threads 

Of the ropes that bind me 

The Untamable Girl

If you think you’re 

Fireproof enough to

Kiss the sun

If you think you’re 

Clever enough to

Harness the wind

If you think you’re 

Strong enough to

Seduce gravity 

If you think you’re 

Patient enough to

Caress the full moon

...I’ll let you try

The velvet purple sky 

Stood before me 

He dropped to his knees 

And offered me the moon

Its light slowly turned the frost

On the ground

Into a million glittering diamonds

He held his breath

And waited for the answer 

To a question that was never asked 

Consumption

The fire 

I can feel it

Starting in my 

Fingertips 

And spread through

My chest

Until the whole of me

Is burning 

From the inside out

Now kiss me 

And make it an

Inferno 

sunlightKisses

When I can bring you

Warmth of the soul, don’t complain

When you stand in shade. 

The Tattooed Skull

The torrent 

Slicing from above

Water turning to ice

The shards 

Shredding my skin

Peeling flesh from bone

Until I finally recognize 

What I know

I’ve been all along 

A hollow thing

Tossed aside

Waiting for a 

Regeneration 

That won’t come
