but i don’t know, i kind of want to leave this site alltogether.

anyway, i’m going to start writing differently again and then maybe i won’t be so frustrated when all that comes out is shit.

i know i don’t have many readers, i’m just kinda saying this to myself.

i just need to be more open, raw, honest, and real with my poetry and stop trying to force something, stop trying to write like other people, stop writing to please people and only write for myself. no more bullshit, no more fakeness (is that a word?). it might mean shutting down this blog, i don’t know. i just wanna write the way i used to. god knows how much paper i’ve wasted lately with only a few good poems coming out of it… so i’m going to write. i don’t need great ideas, i just need feelings, and i have those. i guess i tried to write with words rather than with feelings. i want to be real again.

speak
and taste the saltiness
of your words,
rolling off your tounge
but they aren’t your own

kiss her
and taste the sweetness
of the honey on her lips
but it doesn’t belong to her

listen carefully
to the sounds your body makes
when you’re sleeping
to your blood flowing
it’s the only part of you
that’s real

purple migraine dizziness
visions bursting
tapping at my skull
oh majesty
oh royalty
i’m the color of bruises
i’d kill you
if it just meant i could
have relief

velvet mountain sky
silent sisters
damned lovers

crescents in her eyes
i followed her
up the stairs
early morning
dancing
liveliness

she’s an illusion
emerging from hallucinations
you must get help
we are running out
of time
I didn’t catch her name
well, it’s someone else’s name

oh mirror mirror
lines on glass
tell me what you saw
oh if walls could tell secrets
tell me i’m not crazy

she’s a temptress
an empress, an enchantress,
a witch
the darkness i live in
took to the sky like a raven
and you’ll never see her again
maybe in your vaguest dreams

she’s getting closer now breath smelling of whiskey i can see scars on her ageless...

Fri, 09 Nov 2012 21:08:44 -0500

she’s getting closer now
breath smelling of whiskey
i can see scars on her ageless face
“do you want to kiss me?”

don’t forget what i told you when you were on your last bit of rope i’ll use these...

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:18:52 -0500

don’t forget what i told you
when you were on your last bit of rope
i’ll use these scarred feet to carry you
anywhere you want me to
every cut you make, i’ll heal
every tear you shed, i’ll feel
miles and mountains can separate
but they will never take you away
from me. the edge of the sky
is waiting for us, i’ll carry you home

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:14:28 -0500

surrounded by visions and crystal

keep them in your head

amethyst eyes and a diamond bed

this night will not be forgotten

she runs away, she cannot stay

sleeplessly wondering why

the flowers sway

if i could make her realize

there is so little time

to tell her i love her

i am not a rose

i am the thorns

i am not railroad tracks

i am the train

i am not rain

i am the storm

but i must hold her hand

so i don’t lose her memory

and sometimes i think

and forget to breathe

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:12:41 -0500

wishes are burns on skin
one for every candle blown out
and this time, there are fourteen

broken dishes scar the floor
one for every fake friend
and there are twenty one

flowers dead in a vase
one for each year wasted
she counted twenty-nine

open your stained glass window eyes
i look through your double mirrored soul
i am the part of your dreams that is forgotten
and comes back to you suddenly
how vulnerable we are in the cold
we don’t see the same stars anymore,
the clouds hide them away
and we don’t live under the same sun,
i am night and you are day.
my frostbitten hands grasp for something
to pull them close and keep them warm
but i only find pockets
and even they are worn
so i ask you to dust off your eyes with long lashes
free yourselves from frozen spells
burn fires down to the ashes
and pray for summers hot as hell

i’m back home and i’ll be back to writing soon

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:40:56 -0400

the sun is warm
but the wind is blowing cold
accent my hair with moonlight
and bring me through the rain again

I was caught in a shadow
that grabbed my ankles
and smiled at my grief
the way I cry in the mornings

the way I feel the wind wrap around my shoulders
like a shawl,
and the water
swallows me whole

I am not bigger than this town
I am not walking in a dream
but if I asked nicely
would you let me die painlessly?

if the sun
can scorch my skin
from 93 million miles
away,

maybe then
you and I aren’t
so far apart.

Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:21:27 -0400

i don’t want to be comfortable
i don’t want to miss things anymore
i want to be cold
cold enough to know warmth
loved enough to know loneliness
it’ll be harder if you stay longer
but easier if you don’t go at all
i could taste ice on the edge
of my frozen tounge
and missed the candles that
melted the ice off my coat
but i don’t miss smiles and laughter
i need to know what it’s like to cry
i need to know what it’s like to be lied to
because i trust blindly
and i exhaust myself, trying
to be real, even if i fake
it harder, i’ll wait for you to stay
and i’ll wish that i’d been bolder
as the night turns colder
and your face is red, but you don’t cry
and i must learn how to feel
