What If She Leaves?i heard a footstep fallingWhat If She Leaves?8 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
on the floorboards set above me
the unrelenting creak
pounding against tired ear drums
i asked her once
before she burrowed into
my cheap pillowcase
hiding from the need to answer
hiding from the idea id shown her
twirling words between
non-existent fingers
the baton id never twirled
in front of bored and passive people
what if she leaves?
the rattle of small feet
as they paced about cramped rooms
id seen
her life falling into a patented sort of limbo
as i watched through the ceiling preventing
my voyeuristic urge to view the clothes thrown
in unceremonious piles and the
small squabble

down the lines and pathways
along the flawless blush
of your cold face
perhaps i have imagined
this moment of the two
of us so close together
sketching photographs
in the night we can see
out the fogged chill of windows
of your lips through
darkness
the dim light of your smile
speaks a symphony
that in deep tones
i may move closer
than ive ever been
without the glass barriers
over your hands
in sterling silver dreams
if i could write music
like your voice within
this soon so distant memory
it would sing like a ghost
walking away from me
im no musician
and in transparent fingertips
i could see

running away

shiny new tires
and a glistening frame
too original to be real
ending up sore
bruised about the mouth
in feeling
fighting to the last breath
for no particular reason
just needing to
keep an honor
well preserved
engrained to tell

bright blue eyes
and stuttered glances
long blonde hair
checkerboards
giggle giggle
laying on the floor
and wishing
they know where the water ends
weaving fingers
becoming something
attaching
press of lips
a secret
everyones supposed to know
like dancing
when the door walks in
the clock dripping
its a painting on the wall
with drawers
in a circle
spinning
word of mouth
intoxicating
nothing makes more sense
than the things that people hide
one day well live together
hes says life will be better
and thats the way love goes
for one or two
three or four
and they give
because thats what lovers do

Once With You Behind the Wheelso when i told myselfOnce With You Behind the Wheel7 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
that id stopped counting
it was a very much complete and total lie
because if you scraped
chewed nails at that back of my memories
there would be dates written neatly
and that worried smile on my face
where i always chew my lip
until its bleeding
on to my fingers and wiped on my shirtsleeves
ive got a word written on the inside of my wrist
and it sings songs for me to picture with coke stained indifference
the edges and turns of the letters
are smudged with crimson that im wetting
with the ends of my flowered skirt and cleaning off
and away
because i rather dont want to look at that one anymore

The Blue Lights Getting CloseThe Blue Lights Getting Close8 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
i spread rosin over my fingertips
and traced letters on the cold
surface of my window sill
the residue is smoke breathing i love you
into temporary expanses
where i can blow the
evidence of being lonely isolated
spaced with five apart into the washed white creases
the song whispered 'where dust fears to tread'
and there are the shaded lines of light grip prints
along the curve of vessels under broken skin
and the ships that sail theyre spreading
so im bleeding
out pentagonal corners
and writing letters to remind myself where i am falling from
the chords of veins are ringing out
that i will stay here

For you.
I picked up the phone to call,
And you made me smile the way you do.
I held my pillow close,
And choked it 'til it was blue.
But it was just a substitute,
For you.
I fluttered in the sky,
Last night.
I soared beyond the sun's reply,
And everything was very right.
You held me in your arms;
You kept my body through the night.
I was only yours,
Last night.
I'll always want to hold,
Your hand.
Then even when we're old,
You'll still be sure that I'm your man.
The only one I need,
The only one who'll understand,
Is painting hearts on boxers with,
Your hand.
My empty heart's been filled,

i had forgotten
how id look for a flickering glance
maybe a misplaced smile
and always wait for the conscious laugh
cradled my senses
walked me wide eyed
as i dragged myself
nails scraping first
out of fleeting adolescence
and bright eyes
never knew the word
or know as i progress in
the inevitable fall of the bones in my body
looking for clouds on my back
in a park
my eyes a mirror
and then shattered
reflected
burned into a person
eternally unrequited desire
for one word
"i know"
three words never necessary
id hold my life
in the flowery comfort of
false memories
my first kiss
perhaps on a bus
laying on a table

this the kind that offers only small reminders. seeing your hands and downturned smiles in the small puddles at your feet.
i walked out the door, my hand on the metal grip of red blockades, to the chill of wind that drew against my body.
as if the pores that scattered over my skin were inhaling long shattered breaths.
and my clothes danced around me.
drawing the black sleeves of my coat around my shoulders and walking forth. i could see the shadows, phantom energy, drawing patters up my bare legs with the frost edges of their mouths. they would be blue like the sky hidden behind the light g
I Didn't Even Stop YouYou changed me.I Didn't Even Stop You8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I know what you did you son of a bitch.
You shattered my dreams and now I'm not the same.
You fucked with my soul and filled me with shame.
Now I don't know myself and I have you to blame.
And I didn't even stop you.
You used me.
You know what you did, but do you even know why?
Did you even think about me? No, it was all about you.
You fucked with my mind and you didn't think I knew.
Now I'm somebody else and I don't even know who.
And I didn't even stop you.
I hate you.
If you don't realize it yet, you're gonna find out.
Not sure what I'll do, but I guess we'll both see.
I'll scream bloody murder i
One DayWe will have a house,One Day8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A big one, you and me.
And we will have a room,
Where we can watch TV.
And we might have some kids,
And we might have a cat,
And we'll come home from work,
To cuddle while we chat.
And we can lay around,
On lazy afternoons.
And you might leave to get a drink,
But I'd hope you'd be back soon.
And I'll be writing words,
And you'll be drawing Pon,
And you'd miss me if I went to pee,
And I'd miss you while I was gone.
One day, I promise you,
We'll do everything that couples do.
...In just about a year....
Forever's getting pretty near.
We'll go out Saturdays,
To shop in all the stores.

Bruises on her heart
she says he has no feelings and
at the same time she likes the way
he mockingly calls her baby
Rosebud on wind
she needs someone
someone to tell she's beautiful
Rosebud, rosebud indeed
she reaches out her slender arms
to touch the tips of the tallest trees
and she wants someone to tell her
that she doesn't need to be perfect
She's blooming all over lives
arresting all of the navy skies
officially someone who deserves
to spoil in a peaceful slumber
she's someone who should just have her way
in every passing day
No one in this fearful world
should ever have to lie to be perfect
and I'm right here telling

The World Can Wait…
When the night falls
Covered by all the rain
Here in the middle of the street
You look at me
Give me a kiss
I insist
How did I get you
How I do not know
How are you standing here
Beautiful inside and out
Just shut up and kiss me
Butterflies you feel
And you don't know why
Love is just you and me
And in the end
All I've got is you.

Straight boys in love with hapless, beautiful lesbians.
Loving no one.
Loving everyone.
Loving one person who will never love you back.
Loving a person who secretly does love you back, but neither being bothered to tell.
Loving a person who lies when he says he does, looking away.
Or cupping you face in his hands and lying through imperfect teeth.
Pregnancy scares.
Rape and forgotten memories.
Parents that leave scars.
Driving in the backseats of cars you shouldn't be in.
Bleeding when there's no one else around.
The lies.
Posessive and manipulative boyfriends.
Writing songs for little girls.

Then we might as well go down with a fight
Because I don't want to say
I died with no way out of it.
I want us to hold hands
And scream all the colours of the rainbow
We can tell the pilot
To steer clear of the rocks
Oh, and if we hear a whistle.
And we knows that's the end
Then we'll close our eyes and pray
We land face down together
So that when we wake up
And the crash is all around us
Our fighting really saved us
And we will tell all the papers
We were in love.
