Haphazardous Words

Sunday, 25 May 2014

His brooding stare
Liquid black desire
Stirred memories of
Every raspy breath
Every reverent yet
Desperate kiss
Every arch,
Ache

She stared at her hands;
Hands that cradled
The delicate lives
Of others

Two hands to heal;
Two hands subject
To human error.

I do not lie
Perhaps that's why
My eyes remain
On the ground

If I avoid your gaze
You won't see
The quietly broken
Pieces of me.

Writing to cut loose
The chokehold
Of life's noose
Blunt blade;
Strongly woven rope

And I can't
Get the
Words out
Fast enoug-

Our eyes lock
In still silence
Yet each syllable
Of every
Unspoken word
Sounds clearly
From his gaze;
The naked truth.

Each kiss
Left an invisible stain;
A trail of chaotic
Thought in its wake.

Indelibly marked
By his love;
Inside
Out.

I wish I could leap
And never touch
The ground;
Suspended
Floating
In eternal
Weightlessness.

Liquid anger drips
From furious eyes
I sharply exhale
The infernal rage
Fiercly burning
In my chest
Blocking out
Words
Images
Memories

Abruptly caught in a riptide
The current drags me
Against my will
Gasping
I can barely
Breathe
Head beneath
The surface;

A drop ahead

01/05/2014

Living inexplicably
In fear of a repeated error
Once I let go of hope
Too easily
Now I fear it
Being snatched from me.
