Let it go
because breathing
is more important
than not;
holding tight
is for arms –
not lungs

that thought can both
dress and undress the mind
without even leaving it

Time: a purpose
built for frolic and fancy;
an infinite seduction
so exquisite
that it’s yet to be considered to exist;
a burden so nameless
that life abandons it
almost upon inception.

Abandon me
so I may postpone
this satisfaction
and
for an irrelevant time alone
subsist on nothing
but my starving need
for your fulfillment

you: lost myself
in the search

so that I

pass into the night
– yours, being the last face
I shall ever desire to see.

leads us closer
to separation.

for there is no end
in sight
to this vision.

my fingers
trace your outline;
every
hardened wave
and liquid curve
the perfect shape
to precisely enclose
my rapturous heart

There might be darkness
where there is no light
but there surely
cannot be me
if there is no you

If I were the ice
and you were the sun
I would
drip
until there was nothing left of me
but a reflection of you
in my puddle.

If I starved myself of food
I would never feel empty
because someone
with a taste for beauty
made you delicious.

I knew
that I would let you
swallow me whole
so I pretended
not to notice
and enjoyed
you watching.

Part of me
is lost
in a jigsaw puzzle
where the image
I am putting together
is looking more
and more
like you.
