from hidden caves
of my soul,
clattering in
a dark shallow grave
where childish dreams have
become fine particles
of pretty fairy dust shifting
aimlessly . . .

I painted you a picture of beauty—
one that was embedded in the sky.
I whispered you an elogy,
leaving it on the smooth ridges of your lips.
I pressed my hands on yours,
but you pushed me away. . . .

You say my eyes are pools that you can get lost in,
deep as an ocean with windows directly to my soul.
You could stare into them forever, or so you claim,
with your clichéd advances that seem to . . .

Just as its legs clung to the glass,
its sweetness lingered on our lips:
a mere hint of grapefruit.
Sensations surging,
more than simple tannins
dancing on my tongue.
The feel of bass reverberating,

I want to see you
dancing under the stars;
twirling in rhythm
with the universe’s
throbbing heartbeat
as you blatantly
announce your presence
with passionate vibes
that wash over me
in silent sighs . . .

He says,
"We have to talk."
So I light a cigarette—
a dirty little
nervous habit.
He says
it has been beautiful,
and I smile
because I am an idiot,
and run my tongue across
the menthol . . .

I find myself lost in you—
trying to reach for the untouchable,
trying to attain the unattainable.
I reach out my hand into a memory,
only to find that my hand closes
on absolutely nothing.

Skeletons and lost love,
it's all just a part of the day.
The tears won't dry up,
they never choose to fade.
I freeze in front of the mirror.
My face looks older day by day.
My reflection . . .

Each person has
something new to show you
about the things
that run through their heads;
life goals or memories they dread,
a new way to dress
standing out among the rest,
a desire for things
that may . . .

She was a flower—
a dandelion—
a weed in all her beauty
dancing in the brush.
A cinematic princess
of a garden full of insects,
and though she's just pretty face
for asphyxiation, . . .

Why do I do this to you?
I need a verbal pacifier
to put me to sleep each night—
to roll over and go on with my life.
I know it must be horribly trying,
this constant reaffirmation,
that yes, you . . .

If I wanted to be vulnerable,
I'd expose myself to you.
But that's not a door that I'm comfortable
just letting you walk through.
Truth is, I'm just a little girl
with way too much . . .

If I thought it would make a difference,
I'd tell you how it feels to be made a fool when
you're in a crowded room and all eyes are on you,
and all laughs are in your direction,
making you want . . .

With every literary composition,
another wave of stardust whirls from my eyes
and finds its place in the heavens
where you were meant to be.
Poems I crumble to fragments
so no one will ever comprehend . . .

I can't tell you what you won't hear,
or sing you a song if you won't listen.
I can't make you believe it just might be
a mistake.
Innocence flies away so fast,
slipping through our . . .

You told that me pain is art,
and then you hurt me
in a million beautiful ways.
My tears became the paint that
splashed across your canvas—
heartache between every brush stroke.
My reality became . . .

This black rose lays internally bleeding,
it weeps in pain—so alone it cries.
At night its broken soul escapes
and into the dark it fades,
returning at sunrise,
still being as lost.
Torn in half . . .

It's an ugly landscape-
gazing out across acres of mildewed romances
and the dried-out craters
of all the stars that fell out of the sky
whenever lovers uttered sobbings of farewells.

There was something I awakened
that should have been left to sleep.
It was your hand wielding
the knife in my heart so deep.
Strip away your fixed composure
and leave only your pallid face.
Your hands . . .

Bring me down from the shelf.
Place me next to your heart,
in your shirt pocket
for safekeeping.
Take me out when you need me-
time for a break.
Relieve some stress...
draw me to your . . .
