Deep breath take up far more space than silence.
They steal the air from your lung.
Close the room around two shadowed forms.
They make your skin heat up just enough to feel there skin almost ever so slightly touching yours.
Never quite close enough.
Our breaths make up more than a sentence.
More than a promise.
They make up a lie.
A lie that we can stand her forever.
A lie that we can be together...
My dearest,
Today the flowers did not bloom. They sit in a bud stuck to their home. I saw a child force one open breaking it’s petals apart as the remnants crumbled down to its feet below. The same flowers I used to give you. I feel they are hiding from me for a reason, yet the truth is I do not know if I can bare the look of it again. I would sooner blind myself to see it’s remnant blossoming. So...
It came to me like snails come to a garden, ready to consume.
I couldn’t sense it at first
The icy chill
I was numb to it’s cold
as I have forever been stuck in it’s furry
I didn’t see the signs
Never ready for when it pummels me down
Like a predator
it attacks
So sever I fall to the floor
Legs crumbling against the pavement
I could feel it sucking me away
Clenching into myself I hug the fe...
Opening the cupboard on a starstruck day.
Windows open access to the spring breeze,
Letting in the aroma of flowers and honeybees.
The tea bags fresh and packed,
Ready to stream into a world calamity.
The pepper and salt adjacent in their honeymooned outlook.
Citrused vinegars falling for the pacific oils over again waiting to be united out of site.
The forgotten bandaids standing at attention to ...
Terrifying and endless.
This spiral of darkness I’ve been
whirl-winded into.
The magic was a promise, and it kept.
What no one told me is how devastating my sense would be.
The day I met her,
My world,
Time stopped.
The second she brushed my arm the wind was stolen from my lungs, and the seasons changed.
The most beautiful women I had ever bestowed.
Immediately she shone like a bright light, lumi...
It was the worst kind of day to be lost and alone on a mountain.
The birds are gone.
They left long ago,
With the breeze and the sunshine.
I’m trapped in the shadows now,
The summer heat trapping warmth in me through the night.
Even though I’m lost in the wood the chill of the air is the last fear I have.
The bits of ember flying into the sky from the lit logs do little to calm me,
Emerging small ...
Oh my gosh what was that?
I can’t see anything.
What the hell was that?
What time is it?
……
Wait freeze!
What is that noise.
Ok ok just stay wrapped,
Don’t you dare move!
Listen…
Uh gosh what time is it?
I can’t believe this is happening again.
Come on just turn around to look at the clock….
No no I can’t do that.
I have to stay still.
Just stay still and every thing will be ok.
Everything will go...
Raised to lift entire kingdoms and brought down every time.
Do better.
Be better.
Lift your eyes,
Never crack,
Be the leader they need.
The leader they need is not a beaten man.
Not a wholistic ghost,
Constantly wreaking of whiskey,
Never able to hold a steady gaze.
The leader they need is not this man,
Has not always been this man.
But when a fly across the seas flies around the wrong room people...
I don’t know what to tell you, it was so fast and everything is scrambles up.
I just remembered her coming at me with the knife.
I ran so fast, but she caught up and pushed me into the wall.
Glass shattered everywhere and the mirror stunned us both.
I was in the ground when she pounded my head into the floor.
I didn’t have time to think, and I just grabbed the glass.
I guess it did the trick, bu...
