Spaces

fragile threads and paper hearts
hung from the walls
in a mocking display
of romance,
broken bottles
crunched underfoot
like the shattered remains
of discarded dreams,
lips dripped lies
like honey
to fill the empty spaces
dressed up as people...

Cold

Her lips dripped
with icicles
not even the warmth
of his kiss
could melt

Wings

Through the broken fragments
Of a tortured reality
She clawed at the flesh
Binding her

Jagged nails tore shreds of skin
And the metallic scent of blood
Urged her on,
Gauging deeper…

Her fingers slid through
The hot, flowing blood
As her body contorted,
Digging deeper…

A guttural moan escaped
Her lips, as she gripped the bone,
And with a wicked wrench
She tore her wings free

Elysium

Did you wish for me?
Dream me into this hazy existence?
For I know myself only when I am with you
And all the world sighs in muted colours.
Time stretches out languidly,
As dappled light bends to kiss our smiles
And ripple in our hair…

Throwaway World

And those with pure hearts
And unblemished souls
Are thrown into the ruins
To rot amidst the casual cruelty
Of a throwaway world...

Not A Star

Sometimes your heart just hurts when you think about
How you’re not a blazing star in the sky.
How your soul is not on fire against the blackness of the night.
You’re just one of the billions of faded, tiny pinpoints,
Barely visible, washed out in the noise of the world.

The End Of Life As We Knew It

She shimmered under his gaze
Like a shivering glow of light
That radiated through her soul
And twinkled like stars in the night

Her body turned to liquid
From his hands upon her skin
Her frozen heart had melted
It unlocked and let him in

His kiss blazed through her like fire
A dizzying, burning flame
That tore right through her being
And life would never be the same

17 Again

The cool breeze broke over me
In waves like caresses
I shivered as though he touched me
But it was only the air
Another aching reminder
Of his absence in my life
Another whisper of memory
Of all that once was
I longed to go back and hold him
To right the wrongs I did
But life moves one way only
And we can’t be 17 again..
