    scales that grew in the thick unknown
    of past fields is put down as delicately
    as a page of ancient text
    in a thin shed of snakeskin that is
    a shroud shrining what was has
    and will emerged from elapse;
    as are we, a shedding of time scales
    in vast past dark fields of space;
    a memory of an earlier and
    still growing, both ancient
    yet still infant, cosmos.

    Still as steps, I waited through the night for newborn thought to nurture. suddenly the music pounding from a passing car became the second heart of a pregnant mother beating on the outside my chest, and I became possessed like a father for the first time; in a sense it felt part of me. My fingers its arteries and my pen its pulse that could only…[Read more]

    A cold wind came
    from the distance I seen
    in her eyes
    before the last wave
    died in her hands
    softly on the shores of
    her sea me soon

    For months I blew from
    room to room like dust
    collecting in layers of time
    across fields of tall grass
    that form from the fray
    at the ends of the last
    memories we made.

    • ”before the last wave
      died in her hands
      softly on the shores ” and ”For months I blew from
      room to room like dust” too beautiful. i don’t know how to say it, but you paint a feeling with your words.

    revision:
    in your presence the company of all others goes out of business, and from the street of my stare only one lamp flares above the grand stairs of your gracious beauty of which my lips itch to kiss every step with the same busy tingle as a bee curating the first opened gallery of spring tulips.

    An old lady once told me, “Butterflies, they are like dream flowers, childhood dreams, which have broken loose from their stalks and escaped into the sunshine. Air and angels.”

    pages of breath
    leaf through air
    dampened by the dew
    of you as you
    work like a poem
    written for eyes.

    I find it heartwarming when i read something that reminds me of my secrets, things i do that only i know – it’s one big same humanity out there :) i can so relate to this. <3 lovely writing, i especially enjoyed: my silence didn’t break me, nor you, but it broke something. i can’t look into mirrors anymore. i’ve taken to crying into my coffee.…[Read more]

    I’ll always remember that last big wave…
    of your hands off the shallow shores of my sea…
    you soon, where a final blue goodbye bellowed deep below.

    As our eyes set,
    high on your temples
    my fingers prayed
    in circles,
    making wishes
    before those
    shooting tears
    that fell
    across the horizons
    or your face.

    I am homesick for lands I’ve been,
    missing family I’ve never known.
    The distance beckons.

    There are nights
    I get kissclose,
    laying my head
    in between her deep,
    soft breaths;
    collecting her
    exhale in my lungs
    where I hold them
    until I can’t breathe,
    -
    hoping my body will
    store them away
    in my heart.

    My eyes hung heavy,
    stepping down their stare
    case into a brewery
    of tears, aged in
    stubbornness;
    not to be opened
    until sour shame
    ferments into
    an honest
    sweet sorry.
    -
    I’m Sorry.
