  • coil lies barren

    shuffling off & cutting ties
    gone to drift on pale winds
    clutching at fragments only
    to toss useless scraps away

    4 u c —
    i realize this coil lies barren &
    there is only death & dream
    this debt is beyond counting
    and all that is left is
    to serve out my time

    i slip
    an ophelia amongst the reeds
    waiting for a mercy kiss
    to set me free

  • first kiss

    [response]

    stone raven black
    her slow hand turns
    on the moon
    in lace and silhouette
    waiting on dusk
    to kiss me
    a bridge closer home,
    ever to her side

    [call]

    Laughing into the fire
    Is it always like this?
    Flesh and blood and the first kiss
    The first colors, the first kiss

  • redemption

    a path in the middle of a dark forest

    i wonder if a part if me
    is lost there on the path
    seeking blaze left behind
    either to or away from

    recalling both nervous
    and tremble hands
    she wore over coffee
    at the allnight café
    cigarettes smoke
    staining the dim lights
    as stained as either's
    reputations unsaved

    i wonder if this dying
    had any point at all
    save for another branch
    lost on a meandering path
    leading towards
    redemption or none

  • daggers

    all daggers deserved,
    crimson drifts to drain

  • let us slumber

    come with me and
    let us slumber and
    dream without
    nightmare or pain
    let our winter
    bury us under
    for long dark nights
    our bones entangled
    skin drawn tight
    let us slumber in
    that everlasting kiss
    and evermore
