our love was one of a kind. we knew about each other long before we spoke. we both thought maybe then we were not ready, and we were now. jokes on us, i guess. our love was from a distance at first and we found every opportunity possible to hop on a plane for each other. it was working then, but not anymore. distance got too much and by the time we were going to break it, you broke me with the words i so hoped i'd never hear. distance got the best of us and won. i thought our love was strong enough but i suppose mine was the only one. i understand you got tired of waiting by the phone, trust me so was i. difference is, i never got tired of you.

she caught my soul in her web

she's the spider girl in my dreams

she came for me and I came to her

we belong to love and love for eternity

ive never felt a love so certain

our love has nothing but loyal certainty

we will love hug and cherish in every galaxy

you are the altar cup and from this

“Let me die like a rockstar

And be a teenager

But too many people expect of me

So I’ll die normally like the good girl I am.”

Words turn to ash on my tongue

before they can leave my mouth

I created a huge, shining shield

Around me

But only I can see

He kills if he gets close

It will break into pieces if you insist on crossing

Turn to ashes if you try to find a way to enter

A shield emanating white light

That only I can see

That can kill you

Behind the counter,

I scribbled

words

on scraps of paper;

till roll appropriated

for inappropriate

uses.

Footsteps tapped-

me on the shoulder:

Mr bossman said, “you need to

hurry up.

Fill up the coffee machine cups,

put out the pop

on the shelves,

rack the wine,

making sure it’s aligned,

label to the front

and

don’t forget that damn queue.

I want more work

out of you.”

I sighed,

surreptitiously scribbling

my resentment

as if painting a masterpiece

with my own blood.

I did my job.

I don’t think you can ever truly be bad at poetry.

Poetry comes from your soul, from your heart.

If you write what you feel,

Anything you write is revered, and beautiful and worthy.

Because it’s you.

And you are beautiful and worthy and revered.

What must be done to outgrow from this extreme yearning of someone you have never even seen? Should I just blame myself and hate me for eternity or curse the entire world because I didn't wish for this misery. Yes, it is better to speak than die, but I just can't tell you that. What must be done to get out of this?

All seven of the deadly sins embodied me. Repenting, and praying, maybe I could be free. But sometimes god doesn’t have faith in me”

How can shifting hands reach heaven

when silence comes and takes

the wind from my lungs, the words

from my tongue and leaves me bereft?

Ache dull grey cloud: close my eyes

and shut the world out, like a blind

going down over the sky. Peepholes

covered, button holes closed.

Entry and exit: no. Shut my functions

blind. A lack of time eats my sanctum

space - between the words; demands

to be heard. The band still plays.

The circus goes on.
