The hurt was captured
In a complete expression by her beside
The unreal feelings brought into a room of
Family, friends and the hated light ahead.
A droplet of something so salty and wet
Explained the question of a lifetime.
A breath from a snotty nose,
Innocent child was taken in the confusion of this silent, screaming room.
Then there was a break
Not for better but worse the compete condition,
Only this fairly new.
A stranger that they were so familiar with took them under his wing.
He promised she would be safe and

Red shoes gave her confidence
She didn't need to click her heels
She felt at home
Soles skidded gleefully as she twirled
She radiated red as light beamed off the shine of her shoes
As bright as the twinkle in her eye
But it's just a twinkle in her eye
When the straps slip off, she loses her high.

I'm the snow today
Like the cold
As we know
We are bold
But as we saw
Will know
How we feel
Like a steel
And I will cause burr
In the winter
People wearing fear
In winter
So as the storm I'm burst
We will have the curst
I make wind forever
As I will blow
For the holy worst of all
I'm the snow today.

For myself I write
to send with you
a jacket
Two years nothing lost, nothing gained
Black for the shade of your glassy eyes
Hearts, hardened, sickness ours
Form-fitting, inseparable, resembles
The two of us, once
The smell of my body lurks heavily
Brings tears to your black eyes?
Warmth to your hardened heart?
The thickness of my odor in your nose
is sweet, sickeningly sweet.
When I ask, you refuse to take it
Yet there it lies, on your bed sheets;
Black as the nights we lie, under stars

The blank page is mocking me
Staring back, a reminder of the fact
I lack the courage to send this.
My pen meets the page
My love and rage combine creating
Harsh words
That I immediately take back in fear of how you'll
React.
Sitting with less than perfect posture
Hunched over, why should I bother telling you this?
Pen. Scribbling
Handwriting. Illegible.
So I can be honest without you knowing the truth
That these facades degrade our relationship
Leaving us to cherish generic moments.

Your love is like a magnet
and I am so attracted to you
opposite energy
pulling me
deeper
into this game that is our love
where you know all the rules
and I'm struggling to keep up.
When I
try to dive into the depths of your soul
your restraint
leaves me faint
and fighting to keep hold
You caress me with the sounds of your
sweetness
dismiss me with the greatest
discreetness.
You kiss me with sealed lips
controlling my emotions with every glimpse
without a clue
what you're thinking

I write this poem for myself
In regards to the one possession
I would be incomplete without
Once black
Now holy charcoal
They still hold
Despite their age

Her soft heart just wanted a clean dog.
Literally.
The sponge and soap were catalysts for cleanliness
Really.
She wanted no trouble in the middle of the ghetto.
The cinnamon in her smile.
The gentle stroke of a soaked towel.
The playful whimpers of a tame terrier.
Wanted no trouble in the middle of the ghetto.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Aah!
Boom.
Enough blood to fill a doggie bowl or two.
Limbs contorted in a manner, haphazard
with no manners.
Her heart only beats in the back
of her mommy's memories.

The black line
Isn't so bright
With eyes
Closed tight
Eyes so wide
Sun so high
The rays
Just begin to reach you
Ink begins
To run real thin
No more room
To write down what's within
Forgotten, maybe I wanted it big
Remembered, man it was pretty thin
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Forget that great tune within
Remembering now
There shall be amend
And when we reach that end
The black light will run thin no longer bright.

Black lagoon cat, sausage
Meat don't eat it anymore
(Maybe he was insubordinate)
You want meow mix, now
(He kept turning his head)
Speak up, now.
800 decibels of cat yowls gets
Me nowhere
(Twas another bad day)
Just take it, overlook the
Tomato-reminiscent taste
(to protect and serve)
Ok cat, let's
Give it a rest and
(He slammed his head against the wall)
No tears.
Don't throw out your secrets. They're
Almost as weird as you.
