Shake it off/lasts night's disgusts and empty bottles
Tear off the ridiculous clothes and break the smiles
There's gotta be more than these wasted minutes
Spent on a stool and in front of all these fools

There's something about the stars tonight
I'm hoping to see something new
It all goes away so fast for anything to last
It's gone all too quickly and we're left with....

up late

i have been keeping things nice and tidy in here for quite some time
and then something like this comes my way
and i can't keep it together any more
and i'm falling apart at the speed of light
yes you fall apart in front of me
achilles isn't the only one

everything comes falling down around
burn it
burn it
burn it to the ground
let there be nothing left
let me melt with the cement that layed with me
for these centuries
making my bed with the dead
ones
i had grown happy with the dust
and the corners
and the rotting pages
melding my bones into the moldings

and at the speed of breath
you stood there

and all i could do was make calculations
of how much space I could put between us
before i completely lost it
and could no longer keep it together

you have no clue how hard it was to look away
to hold ground and
to let fate stop it's bottled letter and sail on

my god, all this for you. what am i thinking? what am i becoming? have i been relegated to some desperate late-night jostling with keyboards in hopes of pinning you down in between spaces and words?


what are you doing woman?

Let It Go.

the science of secrets

the science of secrets
the science of the the present
the science of too many what ifs
the science of let downs

you were too sweet, honey
a little bitter, ill-timed memory
little fish, you are too far gone
to make you mine

Musings on a lover

He who paints the upper echelons of the stars
with his feminine lips and begs me to suffer
for a simple glance, a touch, a sliver of gold

He who carries Michaelangelo under
furrowed underarms
and charms sorrowful magicians out of terrible
secrets

My love is the ghost of renaissance oils loosed upon
Ottoman carpets
grinding themselves into the backs of their
lover occupants

My love is the corpse upon which dark irises make their
beds, where grasses keep their basements,
and where time ceases it's dreadful
song

My love wears a crown of thorns caught in his wild hair. They cut deep and burrow themselves past thought

**Disclaimer: I've been reading A LOT Keats and Thomas.
