The water sways

within the glass

When the world moves

so does the water within.

Ice floats to the top

How?

I mean to say

You’re a chameleon

Versatile

Flexible

You can form to

What’s needed

When the world moves

I want to move too

I’m not like you.

You are so damn

beautiful, and

within you

is the very essence of survival

Within me,

I feel empty.

What do you feel?

I love you water

When the ...

When I look at you

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold;

a place once so magical now hurt to behold.

When I look at you

The moon overhead must have vanished;

the house that we built has been ravaged.

When I look at you

Footprints that have disappeared in the snow;

that beautiful river we swam in has froze.

When I look at myself

The mirrored reflection flips upside down;

The hairs on my head ...

Hazy smoke shrouds the grass

branches fall

adorn the land with your rage

bodies lie embellished

upon the cliffs

golden flakes spread.

Ruby-red glimmering arch as

beautiful ichor runs over stones

I find myself staring at you from across the lake. I press my feet deep into the sand as I watch your hair dance side to side with each gust of wind. The air, the lake, the trees - they whisper to me. But I never could understand what nature had to offer. You seem happy now with that guy you’re with. Your daughter seems happy too. You always told me I would never be the father to your daughter. Y...

So I am doing this

Tap tap tap

buzz brrrrrr

So I

tapslipflop

Above the shattered remains

Ahhh to dark

Perched across that empty sea

Ahhh to sad

Tap-buzz-brrrrplop

Incredible

Round and round

the towel goes.

Where my brain flies

nobody knows.

Anyways

I am trying to do this

“Did you flip the burgers?”

“Huh”

I am trying to do this

“Hello”

“Wait” tap-tap-flop

“Fine, I’ll do it”

Sssssssshhhhhsssss

If...

I miss you

Oh so dearly

Brown grass beneath

Molten sun

I can still hear

The sound of

Your small slippers

Tap tap

The sound of

Your shallow breathing

I miss you

Oh so dearly

Words I never said

I fucking miss you

Oh so dearly

I hear you

Oh so clearly

And then you’re gone

Rain from my eyes

Molten sun

Hospital bed

One long line

Before you’re gone

One last breath

No more pulse

One last whisper

You to ...
