The words race out of your mouth like cars on a highway. They crash into each other, they crash into me, they crash into my words. The crashes are loud. You don’t hear them, but the silent noises erupt and cause time to shake. I can hear the metal crunching in our verbal collisions. Our love […]
the red apple
Posted on May 29, 2017
Her heart descended from Eden, Eve’s red apple is alive within her flesh branches, bitten, broken, scarred. No man has a chance, but the sweetest apples are always out of reach, so I’ll keep rustling her flesh branches with my hungry hands, and my slapping mouth. I will carve my name with my teeth on […]

You were dying your petals were crackling. I soaked you with my tears. It did not help. I showered you with my blood. It did not help. I grabbed you and buried you in the red soil of my heart. You grew within me, you flourished, your roots wrapped around my vital organs and sipped from […]

My seashell ears still echo your voice, the ocean of your words still crash against my fears, cutting them into courage.

I just want a kiss to taste your memories, I’ll quench my thirst with the bad ones, sipping the salt of your past. I promise to leave you with some minty ones, good times dripping on your lips, wet memories to seal your fractured dreams so they don’t bleed out their glowing marrow of hope. […]
