Inches

inches 

inched up like a spider 

crawled up the skin 

trickled up the spine 

shivered the quiet 

awoken the blinds 

loud screams 

a flicker of a lamp 

a strangers footprint meshed into the carpet 

a heated demon breathed into the air 

became thick 

her hands reached to her neck and he whisper 

hollowed and empty 

the way he breathed 

into her ear 

as he curled his words 

around her name 

made it sound like silk and wine 

the walls got smaller 

the pushed closer 

she suffocated 

in the need 

to go 12 inches 

deep in her soul 

she begged for mercy

she shuttered 

at the crack 

of the door 

she wavered 

at the light 

walking 

in through 

the 

crack 

of 

the 

door 

she 

had 

locked 

she 

was 

only 

inches 

away 

from ..........

12 inches deep in desire

cursive letters

don't ever fall in love with a writer they know how to make lies sound like a love song 

you wrote my name in cursive 

and met my lips 

with poetic lines of misery

lost nights

lost in the dark, tangled in silken threads 

wrapped warm wet kisses 

meshed with chapped lips 

harvested in the bud of spring 

streamed with tears of fragile fears 

shivering cold frozen 

winter chills 

summer heat 

mixed with sping thrills 

lukewarm 

honey 

dripped 

lips 

sweet effervescent

light 

wafting through the lonely corridors 

of waking dawns 

a stony broke heaven 

a cruising ocean 

a wave of emotions 

rippled 

sheets 

tangled threads

entangled hands

warm hearts 

stalking streetlights 

moving cars 

cracked window 

whisper voices 

pulling moans 

suffocated 

heat 

foggy 

walls

paint 

striped 

laced 

underwear 

interlocked 

in strangers 

cotton 

glass tears 

shatter 

the

childish 

sleep 

of the neighbors 

a catcall 

home 

she leaps 

out 

of 

bed 

and tightropes 

home 

slumped 

and drunk 

piled

with tears 

all because 

she was scared to sleep alone

thornless beauty

I am a rose without its thorns

naked 

and 

unsheathed 

behooved 

on 

frothed 

icy 

cold 

stares 

and 

evolved 

into 

a 

tulip 

gentle 

and 

sweet 

and 

plucked 

me 

from 

the 

garden 

and 

took 

his 

hands 

and 

shed

the 

thorns 

so 

he 

could 

finally 

wrap 

his 

arms 

around 

me 

with 

out 

drawing 

blood

Gasoline roses

soft pale petals 

innocent 

untouched 

pinky and rosed 

with childish feelings 

leave like hands 

curled around my pinky 

and your french kisses 

warm velvet hugs 

smell 

tickled 

buried feelings 

your thorns 

pricked 

so deep 

in 

my 

rock 

hard 

heart 

bleed out 

your pollen 

awoken 

my 

taste 

for 

you 

my 

lips 

still 

tinge 

with 

of 

dipping 

my nose 

in this 

blooming

rose 

of 

hidden 

desires 

all I have is a rose 

filled 

with your words 

dump

you 

in 

gasoline 

and watch 

it charred

and die 

just 

like us 

tattooed 

with 

a 2nd-degree burn 

I wiggled my way 

under your skin

and harvested a spark 

I lit match to close 

to you 

I didn't mean 

to burn 

I was just trying to burn the rose

were gasoline roses 

so beautiful 

that were meant to burn 

I am sorry 

it's not that I don't Love you 

its just I can't let you step into the fire 

and get burned by stepping through

I am sorry ........

Love is about the feeling.....

you bend the truth 

until it cracks 

you watch it bleed 

and you plant roses 

on my grave 

and expect it to grow 

you knocked the words out of my lungs 

and expect me to breathe 

through the ventilator of you 

you kiss lies 

with the words I love you 

you whitewashed the past 

with white out

you blot out the blood 

with your lips 

you lap up my feelings 

with your tongue 

and push down my throat 

and devour the bitter aftertaste of your sickening love

you dust my tongue with sugar 

and got me addicted to the sweet taste of sin 

you origami the truth 

and make it beautiful 

you write poetry with your lies 

you sing lullabic tunes 

stripped from the songs I sing while 

I fall asleep in your crystalized 

eyes encased with chipped truths

and you hold me and tell 

me this is LOVE ........

but I know otherwise 

to say anything 

because you keep me warm 

you keep me warm

I am a blood sucking parasite just trying to feel 

all I wanna do is feel alive

stained........

she´s half dead 

she´s emerged in his scent

her body moves in sync to with his footsteps 

he grasp´s  her around her waist 

and takes his tongue and claims 

her 

he wipes her down 

with every trace of him 

she bonded to the pain

her heart beat 

surging in his veins 

she locked in his words 

chained to her feelings 

she´s tattooed 

with his touches 

unwanted touches 

she scratches away at her skin 

till the white bleeds 

blood 

she swallows her pale tears 

and she sinks deeper in the bathtub

and turns the facet on 

and lets it run

until she is submerged 

in cloudy and red water

stitched heart

you opened my heart 

you caused me to bleed 

you mend it with your mouth

you stitched it with your touch

but my heart still beats just not for you...........

looking at the ceiling

pinwheeled 

perfections 

whistling ghouls 

watercolor tears 

cherry blossom 

fumes

neon fusions 

dancing shadows 

surging into the beat 

electronic

electricity 

charging 

veins 

sweating 

at 

the 

feelings 

overriding the systems

flatline 

fatal 

overwhelming 

unwanted 

emotions 

set

on 

sight 

to 

fall in love 

with 

the feeling 

blowing a wish on a shooting 

star 

waiting for a miracle 

as she laid 

in her 

snow globe 

room 

and watched 

her 

ceiling 

danced 

in 

childish 

wishes 

of 

him
