Gamma rays

Your 
the Gamma ray 
I needed
Melted 
into plexiglass
I'm blurred
You told me 
you would
Wait for me
Till 
time poured 
thru 
your fingers 
I'm 
just crystals 
fused 
Like 
fragments 
of time
For you to hold 
together 
til 
the sun 
melts my bones

Fever

I've watched
Silent 
in rooms
Next to 
Saints and souls
Stories
Of love
Melt my 
heart
Like church 
candels
Alone
Feels like 
the inside of 
A freezer 
With the
door shut
I'm
lost 
like a blueberry 
On the floor 
of a supermarket
Your Words 
replayed 
in a time capsule 
Thrown thru space

Allison

Read me
Some more 
chemistry 
Fill 
my mind up 
like a beeker
Words
I can't spell
Slide across my mind 
like amebia cells
Your 
in a world
That's 
Foreign to 
me
Like swimming 
up stream
Glad 
your steering 
the boat

Don't try

Don't try

Left with dust on my lip
I watch as
Your skin
Schrivels like bacon
Your hair
Stands of wire
Steel gray
Course
Thin
The sun
Ignites 
the flames
In your eyes 
We used to push
20 cc 
In our sleep
You would
Whisper
"Don't try"
As you 
passed the
Belt

Treasure

What do
You 
Value
Stored inside 
A vault
Buried deep in 
My heart
I hold treasures
Notes
Cards
Letters
Written by the people
I love The most
When life is
A steamroller
I dig deep inside
And pull out 
Your love
Like a crust of bread
It keeps me 
Going
Helps me 
Claw my way
Out of
The hole

Dull knife

Your
Dull Knife
Cuts 
old Memories  
like a lobotomy 
I've drank 
you before
Your song 
plays in my head 
like a stones skipping 
across my face
My teeth 
rattle 
Like wind chimes 
in cold air
There nothing 
Left to say
But
I love you

Another day

Smiling 
on the out 
my tears burn 
in
Held deep
Like an
Eternal flame
I move
 thru days
In a Mist
Fogged 
From who I am
How long will
I stay hidden
From myself
ear drum pounds
Out a vibration
that rattles
My skull
Time by myself
Is a curse
Carved 
in my brain
Like initials 
in a tree

Move on

Days 
move slower
Then an evaporating 
Puddle
Watching clouds 
float by
I look for
Meaning
In  my
coffee grinds
thoughts 
Fly
Like geese
Far from here
My feet
Forever magnetized 
40.01 n 
75.1 w
Time 
for new
Coordinates

Death around the corner

You said
You'd call
I waited 
40
Seasons
Thinking about
What I'd say
Wondering
What you look like
Time 
stood Still
Frozen
Like a 
Golf ball 
On a pond
Disappearing
First
Thaw

Tomorrow

Happiness 
Like a
Hit of
Acid
Melts my
Brain 
I feel like
A theif
Stealing
Moments of
Time as
A river
Of things 
To do
Cascades by
Problem is
I forgot
How to
Swim
