Poems, April 2009:

Sprung-

No more parking lots
Loving scents of velvet blossoms
whispered through the snow.
Icy black nights
calling my mind
with wanderlust and floating dust
so cold upon my lips
that miss the taste of yours.

Silhouettes and Headlights-

Nylon twisting pills and petals through
fresh salt water filters
blinking soft stilettos, blushing wide
and gaping smiles mildly in love.

Hypothetically Speaking-

One day you'll touch a pillow to your face
and know it can't be me
although it smells of me.

I left my perfume by your head
and let it melt into me
you can't get rid of me.

So when you're crying in the bathtub
please will you kiss me
and then come with me?

[Master]elated-

She spoke like death was whispered in the meadows
Crescent suns blinking starlight up and through the universe
Particle dreaming and cleaning the mind like it's frightening
She'd like to collide with the sky and cry like the night.

Get Out-

Running waist deep through a crowd
of loaded guns and
lighter fluid palms.
...this is that way and to
destroy you would be
a thing of the past.
