jealousy explodes
the last two I expect to see together, but there
they stand
alone

questioning only fuels the fire
a cloud of poison saturates my pores,
leaks into my bloodstream, and the
pounding of my heart does nothing to slow the progress at all
the agony, so consuming, yet so redeeming
ecstacy
I double over in pain, developed in this delicious emotion that
drowns out all but itself and its desires
I cannot ignore the want, the need to hurt
revenge pleads a mournful cry
to obey and live
or submit to the blantant truth and perish?[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]Hope and Fall
In blind faith I held my heart out to you
Praying you would catch me before it was too late
But yet my heart succumbed to gravity
As empty air replaced where your hands were to wait
You looked away and what hope I had grasped
Shattered upon impact with the unyielding floor
My veins froze over as what wasn’t mine to lose
Walked away and left me alone with a closed door

[center][color=#5694EB]A Surrendering
This heart is a sad and tattered thing.
It is easily deceived
By sly hope.
It doesn’t belong next to
Another’s soul, this heart
Is a destitute heart.
It mourns the absence of a steady pulse.
This heart has never been held,
Too quick a movement with shatter it.
It frays as time passes it by.
This heart is forsaken.
This heart is decaying.
I have known it to cry obsidian blood
And bleed limpid sorrow.[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]Relevancy of Love
Companionship is elusive.
Landmarks rush by in a blur.
Sitting shotgun, I observe aloofly.
Why get involved with something in which I play the fool?
A malnourished heart collapses like ash
where touch lingered seconds too short.
What is solitude? Is it a vacuum, void of pulsing hope?
Or the heavy presence of the knowledge
that all efforts at self-assimilation are futile?
I am shoved up against invisible yet expected walls.
Hope sputters bitterly in my heart and dies.
I guessed they were there, and I'm not surprised
to find them still standing. Still I inch stubbornly past
pretenses,
until I am gently turned around and sent in the other direction.
Yet to find the one who pulls me closer.[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]No one thanks a Hero
God, not again.
Another venomous lie to feed my growing
Hatred of you.
Well, then who cares?
Hammer away at my innocence with
Your scathing tongue, spitting serrated
Promises at me through your teeth.
I’ll take the ugly blade you’ve forged
Out of this broken soul
And use it against its creator.
Your own rhythm, pounding in the background
Pulsing in my veins, never-ending
Reminder of your falsities gives me
Guts to part the walls of your heart.
No more words, no more breaths, no more lies.
Standing with a clenched jaw, this bloody edge in my fist
It’s easy to see how you wormed your way in.
Your high throne is burning
While you sit in denial of my rage.
How easy it is
To smile
And fool you.
You’re the ignorant one now.
Surely you know no human
Can forget that fast.
The beast builds up pressure, claws unsheathing
Spilling your blood to save that
Of the future afflicted.
No one thanks a hero.
No one saves a hero. [/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]Reason to Smile
Can you find me a reason to smile?
I’m in deadly need of a lift.
I took a wrong turn somewhere
And now I’m wandering the darker alleys of my heart.
The sky darkens and I reach for you
But you’ve slipped away silently.
Did I trust you too much to stay
When I turned my back for a moment?
The sun is gone, dead like my hope
You told me not to believe in fairy tales.
I didn’t listen, thanks to stubborn ignorance
Now I live the other side of “ever after.”
My heart plummets, shatters on concrete
I can’t bear to glue it together anymore.
I walk on, leaving Humpty Dumpty to rot
Resolved never to tempt gravity again.
I round a corner, only to backtrack
As gentle clinking reaches my ears.
There stands a fallen knight
Sweeping the shards into his cupped hands.
Though the pierce his skin and draw blood
He retrieves every forlorn shard from the dirty street.
I hold my breath as he determinedly coaxes
My regenerating heart back to pulse.
He smiles softly as the first beats
Feebly strain against the gathering darkness.
The knight lifts his gaze
Knowing I wouldn’t wander far.[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]Sand-colored Waves
Waves beat the sand
The ocean doesn’t mean to
But it sweeps the beach away
She loses a bit of herself each time
Ocean breathes in and out
Each sigh a few grains taken
But it’s alright, she has plenty to spare
No matter how many times she is asked to give
She will, willingly.[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]My Tree
Some days, when the air is still
The shadows grow below my tree.
The sun maintains a heated glare
But shade is always waiting for me.
Other days, wind makes leaves whisper
And reach out, taunting dark skies.
The brooding horizons never fight back-
They’d see wily defiance if my tree had eyes.
Most days, I rest beneath a best friend
Closing my eyes, I can feel his heart sing
With every breath from the sun-heated soil,
And without a single word's ring.[/center]

[center][color=#5694EB]O Cold Stone
O cold stone! Stand.
Disregard the hearts of men.
You must hold fast the acid lash
Of silky tongues post-sin.
Oh, cold stone. Get up.
Don't crumble where you lay.
Your marbled veins have frozen slain
In black and blue array.
But oh, poor stone ― You can.
I see your head held high and strong.
The weak protests of weary steps
Are conquered by dawn's song.[/center]
