Unrequited Love
...You anchor your rancor, a cancerous canker,
Not just any mole
Your hatred you hide it, you split and divide it,

Unknown Poet
...I'm a poet

To trickle out

A butterfly

The barrel of a summer afternoon
And the spittle of the soundless shots of the stars within a summer eve
Homeless homage, tainted talent awaits to watc...

But gazes silently on the lover’s forehead peak
It rests in the knowledge that there is rest
In fewer words that remain caged in the breast

Alone, watching the logs burn—
sizzling, like my heart after your words.
Betrayal hangs, breath lingering and swaying.
My eyes crackle with the fire and the brokenness.
