Untitled

You put a stopper in my heart

The love flows over

Nowhere for it to go

Leaks out when I'm sober

Hourglass

This is the end of an era

The timer has turned

As the sand falls again

Will I find what I yearn?

Will the grains fall empty?

Will I end in turn?

Casualty

I'll explode my words on to your canvass
My love is the bomb
You love to paint
Paint with what's left of me
The shreds clump
To remind you of what I was
Stroke a beautiful scene
Dip your brush in the obscene
My voice avoids your ear
My words sneak past
My efforts fall short
You don't see me
You see only what you wish
I hand you the knife
Only to see you smile
Wipe the blade clean
Now watch me fall
I'll bleed out
And smile for you
As long as you stare
With those beautiful browns
But your mind is somewhere else
I'm just a casualty
Caught in the fire of your love

Whispers

I keep my words whispered

Though I'm screaming inside

These feelings are punishment

To keep my heart in line

Embracing you is masochism

Writhing and feeling alive

Encased by you

The body's natural high

Legs lock

Mouths dance

Hands pull

Eyes glance

You reside inside

That girl laying next to me

I'll be gone

And you'll never hear my whispers

I took them with me

Though I left something behind

I'll swallow words

Till I can say them to another

Carabao

Her crown reigns short

But stands out from among the trees

Her bark is soft

She is unmatched in beauty

When I drew near

Her flowers were clear

No shade of color worthy
