He No Longer Loves
...He is no longer in love with me.
His spoken words flesh caught like dull razors.
Churning pains toss me in raw seeped reelings.
I feel feather fragile as weighty aches

The second coming is at hand.

Not so platonic
...Yellow in your eyes—
seemed bright, but honeyed words didn’t feel right.
Letters that questioned truth and dare,

A broken doll with eyes like the abyss.

Canis Lupus
...Canis Lupus
The sound of a pin drop in the

I get a whiff of a strange scent

I Saw a Storm of Ice and Stone

Curling North the footed hill;
From which grows the cold and bone,
Beholden to whom the beggars kill.
The ashen clouds above the alabaster-
A sieve to the dense...

Veiled with adorned armours of Caesar.
But at nights is haunted with Caesar’s spirit,
Which yells ‘There is no such place wherein your solace resides, no one who ...

Even dragonflies buzz about with importance.
Against all odds, I'm against all the odds.

Lush rushes of hot air.
