Poem: About Moving On
Romantic love, lately,
Has brought thoughts
Of stories and fiction
To my mind; I feel a
New kind of love for
Myself as I realize that
You aren’t the first
Person who comes
To mind anymore.

grown out
everyday, without fail, she’s here.
everyday. with a book in her hands,
everyday, she reads away beneath my leaves
whether my blossoming flowers slowly
trickle from my branches as the soft wind
hushes them into her perfect hair, causing her to sneeze, making me laugh,
or the strong greens of summer
engulf the sky above her,
shielding her
from quiet warm rains, or
golden leaves, bright oranges, loving reds,
drop upon her words, she picks them up
gently, so careful, as if they’re so precious
to her, as if every part of me is sacred to her,
even after it has abandoned me.
but she never does.
she never abandons me.
reading away at her pages, of love, passion,
kindness and courage, hopes of finding the
one, one day to share her life with,
drowning
in her reading, being absorbed in her life
as someone else, a character who to me
is unknown, as alas, i am unable to read.
i am able to just watch. watch her smile
drain from her face, her hair, scratched away
at my bark, her flawless skin growing paler
and paler everyday as she realizes she’ll
never live the life she lives while she’s under me
reading away, everyday, reading her books
fantasizing about her looks
getting caught onto hooks
until one day she doesn’t come.
she doesn’t read. i don’t know where she is.
has she left me? abandoned me?
she’s usually at my base, in a beautiful dress,
reading away and away everyday
like there’s no tomorrow, but then
tomorrow comes and she comes again too,
only now she’s not here. she isn’t sat where i would usually see her.
instead, others are. standing in her usual place, screaming, crying, desperately dropping
to the ground, on their knees, begging
to be dreaming.
it’s nice her family wishes to have had an imagination as vast as hers.
although one of my branches has been
feeling heavier than usual ever since
deep last night, in the bright
moonlight, when the stars became the leaves
of the sky and i was sat under the tree of the
universe.
they haven’t trimmed me in a while.
i must’ve grown out.
candles
light the candles
watch the flame flicker
don’t get too close
don’t get burned please
feel the warmth
the warmth of my heart
smell the scent
i can’t escape this feeling
Primrose
Everliving and Youthful
Your image that of Beatrice,
Heavenly, resembling of the days gone
But there is no regret up here, my Dear
Our likes sometimes Daft and Daredevil,
Yet Your presence to me never sufficient
As You are my life’s only elixir, my Dear
Death himself walked the Earth today and
Damned us both, my Dear
But I will never let go of You
Place Your faith in me as You pledge to me
The remainder of Your living moments
The Earth is crumbling at our fingertips, My Dear
My life mustn’t go on any further as I can’t
Bear Your absence
So I shall leave You with the kiss of Death,
For now.
May our fantasies end the plague, my Dear
And may You return to me
You always return, in Spring, kindred to
The Primroses that line Eden’s Garden
One Broken Promise
My precious glistening dream
Yes, I know what this is.
The faint breeze between my hairs.
The fragmented shells washed up on shore.
The sand hugging my bare feet.
And as I inhale the scent of the sea,
I know this means goodbye.

Calais
your heart rushes. my eyelashes flutter.
you both love and hate the lace of
my gloves, hugging my fingertips -
undeniable elegance obstructing
your skin from touching
mine. although, you could say the same
for the rest of my attire.
but we both know actions speak
louder than words.
a lustful dose of aquamarine ketamine
white sage valley
where rams come to die and
goats become human
crystal anthems of chrysanthemums
cause shivers in my skin and goosebumps on my bones
pearly tears in the sink
twisted gears, i can’t think
through the years keep me weak
we cut ourselves on piles of ionian sea glass
your infra-red blood on my body paint
just hostility and futility embracing in a whisper
cover me in velvet bruises on my inner thigh
make me in your thyme less soul
opalescent adolescent violence
my wet nymphette scent
accompanying a lavenderection of a coleo rising
my own softness chokes me, a violin side me
lively nightshade in your hair
like nevergreen overgrowth on a grave
the tyrannical terrain decomposes the magnoliar tree
lilac tarmac scorching below you and me
you were sculpted not by the gods but by those who appreciate mortality
make me in your soul
peel away layers of plaster from my sun-kissed skin
and watch the jealousy crumble to the ground
i unfurl like petals when i’m with you
if you weren’t mine, the skin would fall on its own
unloved for eternity away from your gaze
give me
hibiscus kisses below
eucalyptus eclipses
instead
champagneful truths become the lie
candlet go of hoarse remorse
if with you i’ll never die
you broke inside of me and painted it all blue
now dance naked in the ocean of my body under the moon of my mind
i wish you could skinny dip in my lagoon empty of perfume
my soul, reborn in your eyes
a single moth attracted by a flicker
that never vanishes on time
hollow worry
hammer heart
worthless mercy
worlds apart
there's something about the mirror in the hallway
my reflection pours a whine glass wearing a webbed dress made of phantasmas i stare at her in the hallway such a shame, crying on a summer's day i don't understand her demands red excuses speak in different tongues an image of lace underwear haunts my daydream as a honeyed nightmare i'd write about you like a vine the graze of your cotton skin upon mine driving me nowhere i would know naked license plates coax me out of love am i wasting away in place? porcelain tears on an undrawn face laid by a statue's decency the clouds shape the moon's hidden lunacy my portrait of anonymity bedaubed in oil paint and nudity
the psychology behind cutting your hair
my hair is living - like overgrowth on a grave cinnamon wine cleans my eyes foxglove stare the perfume veering wildly in my bedroom the mirror complicates my reflection and reminds me of a necklace in the silver coffer that lays forgotten i'm wearing you around my neck today you're etched into my soul the same overplayed CD i carved your name in each petal of my rose a white rose from adam she drunkenly takes off her top and poses in the mirror devoted to neurosis far too young to live the lamppost that forgets to turn off fresh air trapped between two blades so blunt, so dull she tattoos herself to never go out again barbed wire, northern lights i salivate salvation backing away from the mirror, my feet tremble over the pile of detached hair i am fatally female
