#poems i love

Winds swarm the evergreen chimes of the Earth. Linens cape his ebony, a soft fire in brown eyes. Not a ravishing fire, made to burn, But a candle illuminating warmth. Yet darkness clings to him And shadows trust that he will lead them home.

Bourbon and rose, Fingers and thorns, Thistling throat. A light and a bud. Fire is fire is— built upon liars. Pass and pour, then turn again. A roulette exchange Till the bullet meets the head.

Blood is blood is blood. On the island and the board of the floor. Throughout the streets and throughout history. Blood is blood is boiled. Hell frozen over. Heaven's scribe caught with (more than) their pen in their mouth. What's power to pride? Bled enough to die, but still we stand with pride.

2023

I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE LOST AND OUT OF CONTROL.

I HAVE HELD MY LIFE STILL AND ON THE BACK BURNER.

I HAVE A LIFE. I'M WASTING IT.

I HAVE A HEART. I'M MUTING IT.

I WANT A HEART. I WANT A LIFE--

I HAVE ALL I WANT.

So what am I searching for?

A DEAF CHILD MADE BLIND

THE LESSONS LIVED AND TAUGHT,

A STORY OLD AND ALWAYS TOLD.

LOVE IS ABANDONED TO DEATH,

LOVE IS A WASTELAND WITH A SINGLE OASIS

SOON TO MEET THE BRUTE OF DRAUGHT.

LISTEN AS I TELL YOU.

BUT ITS PAST ONE EAR AND THROUGH THE FIELD

RICH AND BOUNTY WITH STRAWBERRIES.

AND NOW YOU ARE BLIND.

EPIPHANY IV

Epiphanies, existential and perverse. There is the road less traveled And there is the road without sin.

There is the road paved, and the abbey of the aberrated. Somewhere at the crux of the malum and narcissus— Somewhere in the past I grew grossly misled.

Madness and genius, love and possession, Passion and betrayal, beauty and sin. The eye of the beholder in a world where all is held the same. Gaze to the Abyss, watch as it reels back, Dumbstruck by the husks that grew.

Stare into the eyes of the child of Midas and the Gorgon. We are fascists of self-righteous greed. Our intentions aren’t pure when the poison of the bud licks the seed.

Epiphanies, existential and perverse. Raising daisies in my chest and hemlock in my head. Misery and Wisdom were supposed to go hand and hand, But Wisdom deserved better, so Acedia caresses me.

Stopped at the dead of night at the intersection. The street signs are scarred and etched out, But here is the malum and here is the narcissus, So I suppose they’re all the same.

Lavender thistles combed by the current.

The tides whisper to the shoreline, while the sun sheaths the coast.

And the petals of your flower dress the frame of my skin.

Coveted to the corners of the Earth in the slow rise of Spring,

Skimming the loving earth that is your body.

Fuck with it or don't. I'm a lover not a fighter.

Motes floated through the rafters. The gaps between the oak stared like an open mouth, the splintered edges, a conglomeration of teeth in a myriad of conjoined smiles. Isaac turned away from the ceiling to face the wall. Scorched black and soft with mold. Isaac assumed it was a sudden fire. A candle set too close to some paper or a cigar left burning. A family left asleep, oblivious to the danger. After having finished their suppers, they all retired to their rooms, eager and ready for bed. All of them succumb to a greater sleep. To death. The marks were old, but not forgotten. The entire room was painted over in soot. An accident. A mistake.

Somehow, this place felt like home.

Don't make this harder than it already is. I know I'm not heartless. I know I have feelings. And I know I'm confusing, but you have to understand. I'm not made for this. I'm really sorry. I can't love you. I could never love you. I don't.. It's unnatural. I'm sorry. That came out wrong. I just. I don't think I should. It feels-- I know how it ends. I know. There's only one way out in the end, and there will be an end and you will want out. It happens every time. I'm scary. I can get scary, I know, and you won't know how to handle that and I won't know how to help you and you won't be able to help me and in the end we're just two strangers who really want to help each other but can't. And those only reason we want to help each other is because of a few good memories that look like you and me. But it isn't. I'm sorry. It's preemptive. I'm just trying to spare you the heartache. I don't want to go through that again. I won't go through that again. Love is the biggest mistake two people can make. I'm tired of mistakes. I'm tired of love. I'm so tired. Aren't you tired? If you're not now, then you will be soon. You're going to regret it. Everyone does. So just walk away now. I can see it in your eyes already. You're angry. That's because you know I'm right, and I know you want to risk it all anyway. Risk it all for the chance to feel it, even for a second. Because everyone would rather love and have their heart shattered than never at all. Rather have loved than miss the chance. The chance to what? Feel broken? Be robbed of your faith? No. That's stupid. That's what a fool would say, a fool who was once a wiseman, brainwashed by a poison, sweet as it is deadly. Love is for fools.
