a glass jar

empty wish

empty promises

empty voids

empty words

forgotten memories

lost voices

faraway dreams

heartless goodbyes

unfiltered thoughts

and opinions,

tears streaming down below

like oceans, like rivers

like streams, like showers

sorries caught within

deceptions, caught in woven webs

sorries sorries

apologies not accepted

I drink a cocktail

of moonlight,

hours drip away

until dethroned

past the towering bridge

of ecstasy.

Moon threatens

to fall out of the sky

in a beacon of glitz

and bleeding toes,

drifting past moodiness

leering brazenly -

a pock marked soul

sitting on edge of day.

Moon’s madness

slips just beneath halo,

laying on top of world

with angel wings.

Standing alone,

I hear sounds of guts

and fury

pounding the ground

displaced spleen limpid

with lukewarm tears -

trickle of aqua

a stream as

moon gives a silent yawn

while music strums

in the gilded background.

Moon is all that exists

as I take last sip

awakening to savage sun

taking a bow.

my throat, pulling heavy at damp air.

my breath, a weight.

collapsing the walls in my chest.

too heavy to bear.

your fingertips, electric shocks.

teasing my skin to attention.

you, coursing through my veins so hard I break at the knees.

charging through me fast enough to fill my heart before it can empty.

and it swells and bursts.

and the blood is deafening.

and i don’t hear a damn thing but everything on your tongue.
