You're a little blue flower flourishing in my head
nourished by all the things between us left unsaid

mother nature

standing before me dressed in green we both know a flower will unfurl a beauty unseen set to make leaves curl

Literature

Aquamarine

the ocean gave you her eyes; fixated on the moon, the tides ebb and flow and you search for a cliff to erode, a ship to hold, a beach to breach and break yourself open upon.

Literature

pollutant.

he is a boy devoid of sharp colours, rises like a distant sun fragmented through city smoke plumes, he paints skies grey, he dilutes turquoise seas, he is always a shade of nothing. his girl, she dresses him in clown colours, masks the void with scarlet smiles and peacock feathers, but the hues all fade under his watercolour touch. i used to love him, but he stripped even the lightest shades of happiness down to something faded, something missing. dreams in greyscale, life in sepia, i ate blood oranges and painted my skin pomegranate and clashed so beautifully with his frown i think he forgot to cry when i left, dressed in theatre costumes

Literature

Washed away.

His lips were always bitter blue; his lungs spent so long drowning in the weight of his gasping windpipe he didn't know what calm seas felt like. (breath slowly, slowly, slowly was all they ever said.) Washed-up on empty shores, his driftwood body lay broken on the sands at dawn, feelings in two and lips still bitter blue, but this time there was no movement as the waves lay weeping, finally calm. (and the lonely sailor wandered forevermore, never again to touch the distant shore.)

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge

Literature

Slate Blue

Slate blue clouds cloak the dawn, crepuscular rays creeping round the blockade to wake songbirds and squirrels. The mill house wheel clacks and tumbles; yeast rises like a whisper. Only the blueberry thicket knows that the taste of sunlight keeps the bread warm.

Literature

but where is the blue

You know how to be just skin. You know how to remove every molecule of air. Every molecule of the unknown. You can nail yourself to the juniper trees. You think you will. Stab through every callus with peels of that ragged bark. Your back to the gnarls. They catch fire so easily, you know.

Literature

Gnossienne

You never told me that you play the bass. Some stories I hear over and over again - Xerox computers, meeting well-known authors - but others I learn haphazardly, stumbling into tidbits and details like a newborn fawn - a junior year spent living on pancakes; a car accident; animating projects in the early days of Flash. You never told me you play bass, piano, guitar. And I worry - what other talents and footnotes are buried too far in the past to light up on my radar? What will I learn about you only after it's too late?

dreamer

by all the gods, is she lovely— the sweetest lullaby i have ever heard. and her fingertips soothe this raging nightmare which roars inside, a decaying dragon that one too many knights have slain. if i could worship at her feet i would. alas, her temple is guarded by pale clouds and a witch's moonlight; only ravens may find their way into her tower and break her chains with a featherweight kiss. i do not feel her embrace every time the darkness whispers. no, it is only when the ice in my veins burns hotter than the sun and my voice is lost in the supernova that hides itself behind a black hole. it is only then that she is there,

Literature

You are More.

You are more than a number, statistic or fraction, You are more than a stranger’s glance or reaction. You are more than a puzzle piece or a missing link, You are more than what the world may think. You are more than a stigma or sign which you're labeled, You are more than “special”, diseased, different, disabled. You are more than a whisper, you are more than a name, You are more than rejection, you are more than others' blame. You are more than vibrations that torture your ears, You are more than disorder that drives you to tears. You are more than emotion you can't read or display, You are more than the words you’

Beautiful Disaster

You came to me- a sinner with wild eyes and saw me as an angel. I had flowers in my hair, you had blood on your hands. You saw my love as a halo circling my flyaway hair and thought my forgiveness to be wings that could lift my frail body into the air. But I got down next to you on hands and knees and showed you the slits in my soul, the imperfections marring my body. Yet you still looked at me with wonder in your eyes saying my heart was still more pure than a human's would be. And slipping my small hands in between yours blood slid between them, staining my hands along with yours and I promised you I'd save you if you saved me, too. A
