Did you fall in love?
No, I dove.
angry sun whipped-up sea dusty wind
I
dive
deep
deep
down
lead-tipped arrow straight
the sand chills my hand
love
Your hands often shake now
Your hands often shake now
Mine too when I seek to calm you
Holding on is all that remains
I had a playlist
I had a playlist
a playlist for life
until that moment late last night
when you shuffled me
Dice tumble
Dice tumble, bone white
Will she ask me this time, or?
Do I want her to?
Once upon a flame
Once upon a flame
Blood-hot glances lingered slow
Until the fire died
A day at the sea, looking out towards Albania
sea horizon breaks
rose sun above snowed mountains
warms powder white sand
midday sun scorching
a monotony of waves
in shade sleep and dream
last swim draws shivers
last light falls behind the pines
love slowly sinking
Stone
If your love for me were a stone, what size would it be?
It would dam any river till the water broke banks, hold our house solid forever.
Poetry
People shouting roses
Fists in anger, hearts in love
Calling for the change to come
Pendant
The blood-red heart in the plastic is real blood, you say. As you lock the chain around my throat, I shiver. One day it will rust, you whisper, and smile. When never again meets always forever, something has to snap, but this time I do not know.
Sugar
She flinched as she dripped melted sugar on her arm, casting a magical sweetheart spell. The silver spoon shone in the candlelight.
