Windows

Posted on June 30, 2017

You did not like the view, but our love was just the window, shielding you from the elements you disliked and providing security from what is beyond. You complain that you did not like the view, but our love was just the window, and you never learned that, so the curtains closed, and what you […]

I hang on to hope and hope hangs me.

Dolls

Posted on June 27, 2017

I collected lovers. Memories of them like pretty dolls. A cabinet full in my mind. I can’t get rid of these memories and I can’t touch these dolls. They’re staring at me from behind the glass cabinet doors, and I always find myself apologizing to them.

I’m just a shattered human held together by your saliva’s glue, and I keep sniffing the air like a wild dog, getting high on what holds me together. No one kisses you like me, because nobody needs you like me. It’s more animalistic than lust, it’s survival.

S.A.I.L.

You wanted to sail the seven seas in search of spices, so you found the same when my teeth met your neck. You wanted to sail the seven seas in search of sugar, so you found the same when my lips moistened your body’s secrets. You wanted to sail the seven seas in search of […]

sunburnt hangovers

Posted on June 11, 2017

Sunburnt hangovers remind me of you, to love in excess, ignoring all warnings, for our well-being, to allow an unconstrained, even if temporary, love to burn with no limits, just like the sun’s UV tongue rays leaving red lick wounds on our bodies, the drunken sun takes body shots off of us, and all we […]
