“He was the fallen angel
with broken wings and wide eyes;
believing in the hero he was
never meant to be.
Scooping disaster
under his coat
and into his own hands
only to have it rip
him apart from within.”
-EL
“I find salvation
in the palms of your hands
and God
on your fingertips,
but you’re not
real and I am
irreligious.“
-EL
“I could play sad symphonies
on your collarbones
as we lie in bed,
surrounded by waves
of cotton, sea foam
dripping from our mouths,
chins, and fingers,
electric currents sweeping us away
to the pillow beaches.
Morning sun rays
tan our skin as we lie,
in bed,
and whisper ‘I love you.’”
-EL
“I cannot move as I stand
here, bruised nose
from the slammed door
yet another in my wake
in this never-ending hall
of moments lost
and forgotten,
but I move down the line:
knocking on empty chances.”
-EL
“I’ve tasted death
in the thick of the night
with walls closing in, throat
closing up,
barely
breathing.”
-EL
