Paint Me

Paint me beautiful
  paint me clean

Paint me a pretty girl
 with pretty girl things

Paint me pure white
       innocent

Paint me beautiful
  paint me clean

Blink

My world 

is underwater

until I blink

then drown

The Hallway

Torn pages lie on hardwood
       in uneven pieces

  
Salty water streams from sad eyes
      when no one is watching

  
Angry fists bruise small cheekbones
       thin lips now shine swollen

  
Young ears staind black, hatred is born
      from the evil down the hallway

Cold

Outside my window I see morning.
No sun. But soon.

A frosty Gray haze seems to loom
indefinitely, blending the boundaries
of earth and sky
into a canvas of endless cold.

Pale and ashy is the face of coldness,
dull and bitter are the words
on her breath.

The Cold seems to stare back 
through the window with such resentment,
that it grips the earth, 
taking fistfulls of grass
until Winter is barren.

I Touch Invisible

I touch invisible
like love in "3-D"
thankful that tears and sarcasm
are clear

I touch invisible
like ribbons of smoke from a cigarette 
stain the air
love, like secondhand smoke

I watch invisible
drifting farther and further away
in love invisible
married to a memory

So Quiet

Stop silently
Listen silently
Think silently

Think silently
Feel silently
Hurt silently

Hurt silently 
Touch silently
Cry silently

Cry silently
Breath silently
Live silently

Fire

My Fire
My Flame
Just smoldering ashes
And trails of shame
A careless Fire can do nothing but burn

What Happens Now

When you finally let go
of the rope you've been holding

When your strength and your grasp
have slipped, and you're falling

What happens now?

When your feelings stop hurting
but also stop caring

When the sad heart stops crying
becomes bitter, stops trying

What happens now?

3am

I hear bamboo rustling

Something creaking

Three warm bodies lay sleeping - I'm not

3am how I've missed you...In my dreams

Night time is a playground for a mind at unrest

Spit Fire

You spit fire from fire
as you speak to me.
You pressed your tongue 
against your cheek,
and blew white steam.
It filled the room,
it touched my face.
I felt the wound 
cauterize and hiss.
It pulled me down
away from air,
and sucked my lungs
flat like plastic.
