_{Until the ovum opened like ghost skin,
Pooled like the ocean
And poured from my mouth.
I wasn’t aware of how god-like
We sinners could easily be.}

Hieros gamos

In the wild, wind washed, beneath the hills below the skies, This temple is a body. Came upon his inert rest. With lips still reddened and warm, I sought breath in the valley of his mouth. But empty spirits guide this house. Cupped his chest to mine, captured by his musk My lungs expand to weep. Father, my brother, incest of kings. Essence in your arms, Names you bore for me.

I Found It.

A breeze washed over the shivering hills allowing them to rise and fall like a mothers gentle hush Quieting the sun-rays to curl within the drops of dew and nestle atop the trees catching flight upon a beating butterfly and dispersing amongst spinning auburn creeks. the wind gently tugged at a mass of wild hair Strays unraveling as invisible fingertips danced through the songbirds lullaby. Fingers lost in buttercups and eyes merely resting where the sky meets the earth laughing in colorful shades and spinning in the watery sunset. I have found happiness.

i could be nothing

some days you look at me as if i am worth remembering, glances studying my face like a road map. but mostly, i find your eyes stuck in the static of the pavement, or lost in the clouds gathering before lightning. and we never promise anything, just share the air like strangers when we don't know what to say. (it always ends with a silence more desolate than broken trust.) you said this is the calm before the storm but what if it never slows down enough for me to notice that there are days when we can exist without doubting every second. you have a tendency to whisper too quietly, leaving room for me to imagi

I Take It Slow

This feeling of life passing me is back Makes me feel like I'm on the wrong track. Everyone has a life they are living Makes me think: is it worth all the giving? Am I the one who has to fade away? Giving myself is a price I must pay. Destined to be a living sacrifice Wandering between the naughty and the nice. No big moment stands out from the past year Neither moments of joy, anger or fear. Rather the moments that I think are sweet Feeling the sea sand covering my feet. Others rush their lives, but I take it slow Making memories, leaving a warm glow. I don't follow the footsteps of a fail Instead I make my own and leave a tra

Something Sinister

A ring around the rosy Let them laugh lightly Pocket full of posies Watch them sleep tightly Something with poison And pleasing to the eye Poppies to make them sleep And sleep until they die Something sinister is stirring Beneath the fragile skin A daisy for lost innocence Scarlet rose for my sin Not once have blossoms healed Not once have petals saved Something sinister is stirring There's lilies on my grave Something sinister is stirring Buried in the ground Dust to dust, and ashes, Ashes, we all fall down

Clipped Wings

It begins slowly As such works of veiled wickedness do So soft and gradual that the perpetrator himself does not even guess At the sheer nauseating extent of his control He starts with the foreplay of caressing words - Insidious whispers slithering across a moonlit pillow Forming a chain around the young girl’s mind Like the tender entwining of his fingers around her slender throat So white, swan-white, in the waning night As he suffocates her with his dominance And so it goes, night after night Day after brittle star-haunted day Manipulative words sliding into seashell ears, gently Tickling her psyche like the feathers of a

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

Tolerance

It is often said that tolerance is necessary in a free and democratic society, but there is considerable debate about what tolerance is. One standard is that tolerance means putting up with others and respecting their basic rights. Others regard this as insufficient, and consider almost any expression of negative attitudes on the basis of factors such as race or religion to be intolerant. The focus of this essay is religious tolerance. This is the form of tolerance that was most significant to the founders of the United States. It will become clear, however, that religious tolerance is not as special a case as it may at first seem. Religious

Will you ever love me as much as I've loved you? We went through so much together. We beat the hard knocks together We laughed together We played together as kids We did so much for each other Why did you turn away? You stopped walking my way And went your own way Could this be heaven or hell I could never tell If you actually loved me Or I'm just another crash dummy.

all my friends are dead

When tension pulls my tight warcry loose and my Evergreen throat is strung up in your Dark chest where I ran the red light / I killed the girl / I put my shoes away Small things make me ache for you When you sit in the driver seat with the door open and I do not Take the space in your lap When you lean into my ocean and I Wash over you but That is all Your careful jaw and open wound mouth I could rest there I could rot you away I could wear out my comedown In the shadow of you loving me I could be born again Like any Used girl mountain passed between Any tree in Crucifix Valley could be you Any penance in tenderness Any doubt in b
