life cycle

the poetry of a graveyard is its earth. we are like this too, our bodies dark soil drinking everything up. our skin the frost. our bones the roots of flowers. we bloom

and return to what birthed us: our knees pressed to the dry ground like unearthed sunken fossils, this land an underbelly of a lost ocean that once lived heaven-like above our heads.

each breath reminds the shifting of granite, and each word of ours the fire of the supernova that shocked us into being. the poetry of life is that we are burning and understand it.

the poetry of life is that we are burning and unafraid to burn.

Strike The Windows (a poem)

Strike The Windows

Like a sandwich without bread so I just don’t eat

it takes too much courage to go outside

cuddling with the crumbs of you left in the sheets I survive

weft and wind strike the windows and your ghost like you makes me survive.

i. Loneliness just makes us feel more a part of each other. You sang in a whisper of wishes and wants, desire stretched over distance that can’t be measured in miles. I reached out with my need for nourishment, and you let me love you with my letters. You wrote words that bit like bullets, and I keep kissing the teeth-marks in my skin to feel you near. You are the rope that binds me to this world, when all I wanted to do was float away. The only kisses I felt were razorblades that left me red and reeling. When I was sick of feeling damaged you brought me the hope that this world does contain some form of healing. There’s a hell inside us both, so let’s bring torches to light the darkness and walk through it hand in hand. You are the rope, and I am bound to you forever. The distance just brings us closer together. ii. She is the rope and the razorblade, the hope and the healing. I can’t wait to love the hell right out of her.

I fell into silence. Just as she fell out of love. You don’t ever believe it can happen, but it does. She fell out of love and I fell into silence.

her ancient wood cracked with time and mother ocean salts yet still she floats lives and drifts endless shore to jagged shore

the color gone after years  though no rain enters her soul filled with blood instead

she carries me when others would have me drown

I love the way you play piano up and down my spine with fingertips purposefully dancing, keeping a lovers time This private melody of touch, it’s nothing short of sublime. A crescendo builds with every sweep of your skin

A ricochet rumbling ripples outward from beneath your silk caress and I find...

Be True to Yourself

Wherelight constricts, bending visions belief where realism only comforts the mind where the heart shows mercy never playing entertainer for a bow where gathered particles torn from love prance on a puppeteers string where hiding what the heart sings is found in the fire what lies beneath the ashes where loneliness buried her bones

[aubriestar]

I blink and that moment between life and death is gone.

I quake as the realization of never is defined.

I drop to my knees as the finality of losing you sinks in.

I grab the wall overcome by vertigo as the world still spins.

tried to delve  deepest black-blue violet corners escape the pain avoid the rain a soul’s existence in the balance never fathomed it’s so hard to become a shadow

I’ll see you in the spring In the poppies that blanket the hills with their orange hues Embedded on the green grass that will always remind me of your eyes

I’ll see you in the moon Being held by the man that will never love you as much as I do Petting the rabbit...

A Friend… Indeed

The frame of your face gently polished in elegance soothes with a grace of kindness where apprehensive guards yield and a confidence of certainty peddles past the promise of better days no other light shines brighter than the comforting glow afforded through your glowing smile looking for strength I find courage looking for friendship I find you…

I have fallen in and out of love with countless characters in countless books but you…

you have written yourself into mine as perfect as a dream as flawless as armageddon

I can only hope that I have done the same — that you read me between life’s courtroom dramas between sips of scotch whiskey

perhaps someday I’ll send you a print

to be gazed upon by your eyes to be caressed by your hands to be rested on your lap…

under sky, charcoal glow above the valley, with ice far below, and under ice, the river runs, indifferent to the flow and I become the river, indifferent to the flow I close my eyes, release my breast, exhaling soft and slow and find for the first, I am letting go In the clearing of a mind, a born quiet begins to grow standing atop the frozen rim, where no one else can know the clamor of collisions heard in the silent coming snow

It isn't so much a poem as it is, a confession. No lyrical line will ever express- this... No lovely words could ever caress. All of this, is all for nothing, now, With no place to leave these untenable relentless feelings no comfort to be found To arrest this useless heartache.

I'm paraphrasing sunsets again Subtle light at play, touching my skin plagiarizing all of the birds flying around In their last minute quests, before the night comes I never cared much about this sort of thing it was always you, that looked for meaning Since you've been gone I sit here each evening with these sunsets Wondering where you are Wondering if the sun would wait for me

[the-tag]

light on your feet step out, step up... run now don't wait around for a beat don't wait until it's all too late never hesitate son just run.
