Burning Love & Beaten Dignity
I just love you so much that
I can't get over you
I love you so much that
I just need a touch from you
I need a look into your eyes
I need to tell you how much...
I loved you!
How much I need you
How much you meant to me
How much you can heal me
How much this is so painful
And how much of pain
I'll have to live with
Without you
I love you sooo much that
Even my dignity couldn't
Beat up my love for you
Your love burning my soul
And my dignity cuting
My lungs open to bleed
Aches and sorrow
And here I am
Lost. . .
In between
Of
Burning love
And
Beaten dignity
#love vs #dignity
In the Mouth of the Wind
Can you hear it?...the rustling mystic sound
Can you feel it?...secrets hidden, bound
Do you sense it?...the night’s invitation, exposed
Can you see it?...rushing swiftly, conceal, impose
In the mouth of the wind, those who covet
On whistling lips, those who crave it
Winds of thirst are them who yearn
Within its stomach, hunger burns
Tearing haltingly at its blistering edge
The breeze wafts to escape its pledge
Secrets hidden in hushed deceit
Diminish mysteries gusts deplete
The eerie mood…wind's prison door
Locked behind human’s sinister encore
Captivated, bound by sealed aggression
Storms ache to spew its opposition
Conflicts the wind yearns to typhoon
The sneaky, the sly, the crafty in tune
Festering winds visibly identifies
Exhaling winds, of humanities cries
Spirit of the Wind pines for harmony
Freeing its mouth from quarrelling hostility
Stealthy, devious, conniving, rations of the storm
The mouth of the Wind laments and mourns

Everything’s Expendable
I cannot live with you inside me.
You cannot live without.
What are we to do
With such
Perfect potential
For romantic
Catastrophe?
The smooth cool lid of the swallow.
The ripple of wine in a glass.
Smooth tinklings
Of something
Not quite lost.
A near miss.
A feint.
Biological fluctuations in a blue flame bottle.
Everything is expendable.
