The soft skinned girl has disappeared But love still lingers here. And in the agony of the aftermath, One cannot help but only subtract. The heart, and the hurt, and the pain to bear, that burdens the soul beyond repair. The brooding feelings of jealousy, Of another’s touch upon thee. And feelings decaying from deceit, Were [...]

I can smell the dogwoods as the wind rustles their pedals to the ground. The early blooming flowers of lilting pain, lingering like the love of a dream not undone. Vivid colors, bright and striking, wildly tamed. And that little girl with curls running with me, I can see the cracks of those creeks all [...]

People live their lives like bulldozers without rearview mirrors to remind them of their regrets. They roll with the rivers, the sludge and slim that filtrate and foam like a covering, like some catastrophe of organic chemistry, incessant and endless in their pursuit to perfection. And they drive— oh, do they drive. Reaching and having, [...]

To and fro this boat go rolling with the tide. Hands glazing over the sky with ripples reaching out. Memories are like a canvas to me covered in white paint. And I know they’re there, and I stare and stare looking for these things I cannot see. And I lost your touch not too long [...]

We met in the wrong room— cracked doors helped to echo our hearts down the hallways. And they heard us all too clearly. Nothing can change that I suppose. Ice covering the edges of these windows like crystal shadows, traffic smoking through the fog, and it’s all a blur. The baffled dream of a bored [...]

I’m making due with the ashtrays we are. I’m not hiding my teeth behind a smile. Not for you. The negatives are what we run on when we’re in the rain, and when we can’t sleep. I’m taking this distance and I’m cutting it in half. And believe me, these things take time. We sure [...]

It’s a little bit hazy now, but I imagine that dust storm we drove through where your coat was caught in the door and we listened to that song way too many times. That night on the ocean shore were we froze our asses off like high school sweethearts cutting curfew. And it all becomes [...]

I’m drinking wine under the midnight moonlight, glowing with your endless visions of feats. Sipping and spilling this wine that lingers on the tongue like the taste of your lips, like the smell of your skin. Sitting beside a hollow tree, lying beneath its canopy, covered in a white light like fractured bones, like miss [...]

How much have we given? If the mattress were burning and the streets were swept in chaos, and this desert once again became disserted and dry, How much would we have to show? How long would we run together until our hands became a burden? How long could you really keep up? When the chips [...]

The things I want to say are sweating in the sheets and drying in the dirt, in a poem and on a page fading with the dim, consistent light of time. The things I want to say are lying naked in my eyes, in my passion for you. And perhaps this poems sounds as if [...]
