  • Untitled (Anthill)

    —

    I felt my world cease like a breathUntil my own was taken awayAnd I was brought lower than myselfLike an anthill crushed underfoot. In the little reds that dart about,Muddled and helpless,Think of me please,Think of whose quiet you have trampled on. You have ruined meWith that kind smile.I was perfect before,Now I am less…

  • Untitled (Hers)

    —

    I bit my lip and tasted venomFor my words felt foulAnd I, the lowly creature,Stood there cursing,Wishing to be banished from the earth. But then my God held me with warmthAnd a new feeling washed over me,And I was renewed, made lively and vigorous.I was aglow with the sort of divinityThat I at once forgoed…

  • I Am More

    —

    You wanted me to be lightUntil you saw me flickerCorrupted images and missing framesLittle slips of dark between flashesAnd only in the flashes, you saw meAnd disdained the restBut dear, don’t you knowThat’s me as wellWon’t you take me as is?Those empty parts are for youThey’re yours to fill

  • Speak! Speak!

    —

    Do you know me? Swear by it!Tell me who I am!I look at you for answersNot because I expect it of youBut in your eyesI see who I amAnd so only you can judge me(The difference is absolute truth)For my character is so firmly etched in themAnd therefore you carry within yourselfThe ability to discern…

  • Stars in My Eyes

    —

    There’s stars in my eyesBorn of visions I’ve hadFrom moments we sharedTo moments we have yet to.In every glimmerThere is an aspect of you.After all, these eyes of mineShine only for you.Your light remains so affixed in meLike a star in the northAnd even when my eyes are shut, I still see you. And how…

  • Burn

    —

    Leave me to burn,If you willBut don’t abandon me;Even as I turn to ash,I only want to keep you warm and secure.Gather around me and feel my heatAnd as you come closerThe flame only grows larger.Even at my end,I only wish to be of use to you.

  • Just This Once

    —

    My empty stomach asked not to be fedBut to be spilled outSo I expelled everythingUntil just my pretty carcass remained;My ribs extended out like an invite for an embrace,For hands to be dipped in the groovesAnd the still-warm meat poised to be clenched. I want to be held like that by a beautiful womanWho fills…

  • If You Will

    —

    Do you remember the warmth,My skin and yours?But it’s all yours anyway;Even the warmthThough you’re not the source,It is still yoursFrom the moment our lips touchedTo the moment they parted,It became yours,So inextricably yours,I had no choice but to relinquish my allBecause there was no greater honor,No greater causeThan to be your servant;How could anything…

  • In Other Words, Love

    —

    A revelation is not as sudden as it seems. The essential truth is revealed in the little sparks between two hearts, a spiritual embrace, so gently felt like two strangers sitting close enough their hands brush each other so lightly that both question if the other noticed but neither say a thing, as if the…
