To The Wolf
I indulge in the saccharine words of an unremembered letter,
Written to the Wolf who feeds on my diffidence.
I endure the gnawing, revel in the uncertainty of free-form chaos.
You, the Beast, are sentient, sleeping in my soul.
I continue to compose the mediocre drafts to quell your hunger.
But for as barbarous as you are,
You give me courage to trudge through these muddy words
and find virtuous ground on which to rest my feet.
Slicing
I relapsed today
As if shit weren't bad enough
I sliced my skin
I sliced my thigh
Welcomed back by
The sweet release of pain
The familiar scent of blood
The brief shining moment
Of floating.
I'm sitting here ashamed now
I cover the marks from myself
Yet my fingers keep searching
Until every welt has been caressed
Every mark bears my pain
So very lovingly
Spring without rain
Mother Nature slowly stretches her limbs.
Snatching time
No blast
Of Spring time hues.
Her orgasms habitually
Squirt
Vibrant buds
Pastel petals
Scattered everywhere
Ejaculated pollen
Spattered throughout the air
Absent rains
her climax
Blunders
Tantalizing Summer
Days
Seductive
Midnight dreams.
Sweltering flesh
All that's wild
moans
Quench her thirst
with a storm
Make her wet
Before she catches fire
You'll have to watch her burn
Color
The sun rises
The sun sets
The world spins
The seasons change
Bright blue skies
Become grey
Snow falls from above
and blankets the ground
The colors of the world fade
And we focus on the colors of
the people that surround us
But we find
that the colors of these souls
are as grey as the clouds above
and we wonder
Just how much
does the color of the world
impact the color of our friends
and then, it dawns on us
as bright as the morning sun
That we too
are grey
Footsteps on the beach
We've all seen them
The footsteps on the beach
They all have a story
Whether big or small
Wide or narrow
Those imprints on never lasting sand all have a story
But then comes the ocean to wash away the thoughts and feelings and emotions of the person in that single step
The steps never last
Their stories go untold
Their thoughts and feelings and emotions never shared
All because of one thing
One unstoppable thing
Because of the one unstoppable thing they're gone forever
