feel it stop.
the beating of your heart
follows my hand-against your chest.
adrenaline rush,
poked a hole
inside my blue eyes.

the touch.
a flush collapse.
this hidden danger
like a key
digs in a dusty book,
hidden from view.

magnify the glossary,
because i cant understand the words.
it is all simply,
making me,
fade.

i dissolve in you.

can you feel me too?

Holding lightly

Words that make you aware


Your head's spinning

No one knows you're not there


Blankly staring

Strangers call you a friend


The power you hold

Is a power that mends

dead day dreams
scared my arms.
shivering as i clutched my stomach,
i could feel it pull away.
as if aliens
probed
my tubes.
the irrational sharpness
lingered between my eyes.
flashing
crashing
b o o m

all is gone.

and i awake
gently gliding
inside my veins,
drug addicted
going insane.

pulsating,
i anticipate the actions.
following the dots
until the numbers shrink,
a line leads longer
treading the path
my finger cuts.

i drop into it.
a deep hole
where the wires once
wrapped my braided hair.

a voice screams
e c h o-i n g

never stop,
holding me..

it's lightning
a tail end of nothingness
when you can admit
yes,
I'm alone.
what is left
of my stolen confession
when the problem
is stuck between marbles
rolling inside the tightly woven
underground feeding fields.

i stand here
half eaten,
like a dead cow on a rainy day
bleeding,
searching for a savior
inside the eyes of a star.

my hand interlocks yours
& the race track lines escalates.
i open the springtime buds
streaming from my finger tips
growing emptiness
from compassion
that was ignored,
like a hang nail of regret.

i watch the sky
for the shiny reflection
of lightning unseen.

dandelions ripped my hair out
i could see the blood
drip
slowly
creating tattoos across my face
my hand gesture creates
a blinking prayer
one long swoop of
lifeless sparks
running through my veins.
i can feel the power
ringing bells in my ears
drowning my subconscious
eating away my soul
a tangled web woven by dead spider
legs, faltered
eyes, dried out--
he just stares

at the dandelions
