An Imperfect Fool For You

You see these shell-cracked hands, these bare-roughed, red limbs? They can never be pretty for you, like I’d like them to, but they will write words for you; pages, scrolls, unending verses for you. So many words you’d get tangled, you’d forget the dry cracked skin that created the sea you’re drowning in. You hear this heart, this hollowed out, still beating drum? It’s a tarnished organ, a thumping muscle that’s still broken, but it keeps going for you. It pushes and pumps this blood in your name, in your memory and it sings loudly for you. I wish that it were whole and open for you, but it will remain constant, beating if only to be near you. You hear these words, the ones I find so hard to say? The words that leave me bare before you, in all the imperfect glory that is my life in your hands. They will tangle themselves inside you and pull you in, to kiss these lips that long to touch your skin.

The Strangers In Me

I feel like an intruder. Each day since my life was altered I look in my mirror and see a girl who isn't there. Others have replaced her and hidden me away. I prefer the girl I was last night, she laughed and joked and chose not to let what happened affect her. Where is she this morning when I feel like breaking into oblivion? Where is she now that I have to put on a show? But not even that admirable girl was who I used to be. That girl is lost to me, and I don't know if I want her to come back. She was foolish and chose to trust; she should have known better. Stupid girls always have a way of losing and I surely lost. The girl I am

2011 June Haikuthon

1. I hope you'll love me every day of your brief life. Make us eternal 2. The point of the blade is really just a statement; a weak one at that 3. I cause a lot of trouble, but I sit back and watch it all unfold. 4. I do still love you, you crazy fool. For all your lies were not enough. 5. I chase the sun rays from morn till dusk with no luck. Blinding myself too. 6. Hone your sword upon my mind; the blade will sever all false words in two. 7. It doesn't really matter when the rush is all you've got to live for. 8. I'm not afraid to say it: I am finally happy with myself. 9. You invite me in for tea, sup

Two Worlds

I've been so caught up in this crazy dream world of mine that I hardly recognize the real one I'm inside Reality goes by me and I never see it come My two worlds are slowly crashing into one They'll mix and spread and I'll never separate them again If I don't do something my two worlds will become one

The Cross I Bear

A grief is strung about my neck, a single, solitary regret. The greatest wish I hold in me is to let this sin free.
