Literature Text
elegantly out of grace
you chase dreams glued
to castaway cherry blossoms
glittering dimly inside
tightly sealed jars
that hang from the stars like lanterns
out of reach from the tiny open palms
of ingenuous children
and like a phantom of an opera
each sonata you play
resonates nightfall within this ethereal labyrinth
relinquishing the patina of aspiration
as you rip wings from butterflies
only to restitch them
with broken violin strings
incessantly
the empty theatre whispers
mockingbird tunes
and as despondency embraces your quivering lips
and cherry blossoms turn to ash
the glass you gaze through
still remains opaque
Literature
That word
One word.
That word.
You threw that word at me
Aimed with precision
To take full control.
You knew.
Which word.
Would vanquish my spirit,
Two syllables pierced
My worth and my whole.
Literature
consecrate
authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love
Literature
on the cusp
it is just that when i let go of you
when i let go
it's hard to remain that perfect without you.
--
the in-between of love, buds- so full of potential
our love is written in whispers on the pages
of a book which has not yet been opened.
--
that day, the sun had erased the last lines
of an unforgiving winter from my skin, i was renewed
olive skinned and feeling as if i had just fled the eternal
garden naked as i came- free, fallen.
--
the sky was dark;
nothing but the blood red smile of the moon
cut through the transient darkness of the night.
