Respect the silence
and become fluent in
the language of
lid and lash of
beat and-
beat and-
beat and breath
of blood and sweat.
Speak of my home encased
in flesh and bone;
solemn in the flow
of your breathing. Please,
I beg you.

It tastes like love.
I could speak of her in riddles,
in aged, anatomy textbook terminology-
but, I wont.
You see, I cuffed this angel to my bedpost.
I sank my teeth into feathers she wore like a cage
and asked if I was dreaming, because Love,
you're not holding me. If you only knew the you in my head,
every night--tearing with these heavenly fingers
at the cracks in my sanity- you would allow me this!
Her tongue tastes my tears; nails clawing, clawing, clawing-
she takes away my pain,
but she doesn't belong to me either.
"We are but wolves.
Tell me, what does my blood taste like?"

she says "I'm worried if I breathe

swallow me."
I watch her hands press butterfly
wings between the pages.
does she know that
I'm the queen of silence?
my corpse lungs and
graveyard lips; a decomposing
tongue lurking behind white-washed
tombstones. paint me with sunbeams,
Literature
Poets Always Lie
ambrosial fabrications are
easier to swallow down when
incandescence is a blessing bestowed
only upon those with silky tongues.
deceptions are beautiful
in the right words
because they are salvation, like a
rapture, they save the sickly,
self-indulgent souls from those
tragedies they used to write on the insides
of childhood notebooks about who
they could never be [themselves]
they rescue them from tremulous
corners and closets, hideaways
where they've grown too akin to
the demons they nurse; and drag
them into a land beautiful enough
to wear light as a second skin
(where lies are never discussed
but always shared)

Just a little something I wrote with some spare time. I'm going under a lot of stress and I'm busy trying to figure out my living arrangements etc. Makes for good time to write though, comments are totally welcome and I would love for you to flip through my other submissions.

To me, this is about being comfortable with yourself.
