still.
seeing the remains of the one dead and loved
it makes my heart falter
and then restart in a disjointed rhythm.
she left us behind
or maybe,
she accidentally moved ahead
while the blood pumps effortlessly through our
veins, hers is forever distorted in dust.
how long will she remained ingrained in our hearts?
I wonder, when she is patched up,
if her stitches were disposable -

silence in your throat
I suppress my words and stay silent as humanly possible as he slices through my heart with a thousand pointed daggers in the shape of strung together syllables. They eat through me, like a flesh eating disease of the mind as I comprehend his magnified words. I tell myself not to erupt - like I did last time - and just take it, because soon the rant will be over. My words remain silent in my choked...
Variations on the Word Love - Margaret Attwood
This is a word we use to plug holes with. It’s the right size for those warm blanks in speech, for those red heart- shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing like real hearts. Add lace and you can sell it. We insert it also in the one empty space on the printed form that comes with no instructions. There are whole magazines with not much in them but the word love, you can rub it all...

it's yours
the spot where your hand rests -where my hip meets my thigh- when we sleep it’s yours
the small of my back -where your hands lock to pull me close- while we’re in line at the movies it’s yours
the place on my wrist -where my pulse races at your touch- that you kiss and make me forget my name it’s yours
the space in my heart -where love seemed to instantly evaporate- that now overflows every...
For the dreamers;
via wears heart on sleeve;
For the ones who look to the sky and imagine the possibilities. To the one’s who look at a pile of discarded garbage on the side of the road, and see art. To the one’s who often feel overwhelmed by the beauty of other people. To the one’s who write, and paint, and think. To the one’s who hate humanity, yet love it to death. To the one’s who feel too strongly and...

You are so beautiful and I am a fool to be in love with you is a theme that keeps coming up in songs and poems. There seems to be no room for variation.

You are so beautiful, too bad you are a...
