livid rumbles

slips of something like apathy
settle into my curves

as the smoke
violet smoke
soft like our stomachs and light on shoulders
falls and rolls in the mouth of the sky

i can smell her under my skin
withered for a moment
in a moment
the shell of tyranny
we grasped for something new
words shelter and disguise
something blank 
and unpromised
something tied to us
and choked

A Courting Gesture

Those Who Know Beauty,
Know Beauty True
And I Am One, Perhaps of The Few
Who Treasure it Highly
For Nought Else Will Do,
To Satisfy Existence
And Thus I Seek You.
For It's All in Your Self,
You Make it Inside.
And The Worth of The World
Just For a Ride, I Would Give
Be it Ever, Ever So Short
‘Tis a Sentence 
Worthy 
Of Your Court.

Laying in a daisy
Drifting with the wind
Looking down from a cloud
         but still my thoughts are with you
As faeries and elves surround me
As the twilight envelopes my sky
And as I gaze at the stars
         I'm  still thinking of you
Writing my thoughts
Writing my poems
        And still it's your thought in my head
       Because living without you is like
             trying to fly without wings
             trying to breathe without air
        Because trying to forget you is like
              trying to live without you

My soul and life is a whirlwind of emotions,
it's tongues of fire that dance on water 
daydreams that flutter like the wings of a butterfly
whispers that are heard in the stillnes of night
sighs that emanate from the soul and drift on the wind
eyes that can see to the depths of the heart
memories that will forver be stored
dreams and desires that are written in time
the light of star's that drizzle magic
poetry that carries a part of within
tears that have moistened the soul and confused the mind
dragons that breathe fire and air
wild flowers that nod in the breeze
fragments of thorn-filled dreams that have been shattered by time
skies that see lightning and hear thunder yet always return to the
       sun's embrace
hypnotic, burning flames that flicker in the rain
