Show me your worst flaws
The face you make when you cry
Show me the things you never tell
I want to be inside your hell
Take me to the darkest place on your head
The secrets you remember when you lay in bed
Your scars and your losses
Your marks and your ghosts
I walked in water
River crossing
carrying it all alone
No one to help me
my regrets haunting me
I faced the water
River crossing
some baggage fell
my secrets behind me
no one to tell
I won the water
River crossing
daydreaming
death kissing
wishful thinking.
From the day our words crossed
Remembering things that never happened
I felt my soul smiling inside
Enchanted by the life ahead
Never again will we be apart
Dear friend.
you inherited his eyes
his sweet smile
even his smell
you got his love for daydreaming
and his way of dancing with words
but your face is not the same
he’s absent, lost, sad
your face is not the same
he’s the father, you’re the son
your face is yours.
Your kisses always tasted too salty for me
as if you had more tears
than love to give
But now I know you have ocean water
instead of blood
dark secrets hidden under your soft skin.
you can’t run from me
I feel your depth as I touch your lips
My own death as I drown in your saliva
searching for the truth
your truth
your mysteries
I’m a teardrop in your high tide
Looking for your ocean
A sea of promises and lies
In your perfectly blue shade of brown
And as your sweat runs through my body
I feel your waves
Crying for forgiveness
Can’t you see?
I am also on my knees
Let me wrap myself in you
like a Saturn ring.
When you move, I’ll dance.
When you breathe, I’ll sing.
Did you write
those melodies yourself?
Because I’m tired of a capella poems
and I like the beating of your heart.
I’ve been wondering
what my voice would sound like
laid on your chest.
Maybe we should do a duet.
Leaves on the sidewalk.
They crack as I walk,
I know they must be talking to me.
I know they are warning me.
With each step another one dies,
They’re like stars
turning themselves off.
It hurts every time.
Although I know
They’re no longer alive,
I still believe in their light.
Autumn comes like a thief
in the night.
Slow moves and sharp knives
It knows what it wants.
Undressing trees and blowing candles.
Suddenly Summer is gone.
I take you as my partner.
I promise
To hold, but not to have.
From this day forward,
For better
and for best.
For richer,
And for hopeful.
In sickness
and in happiness.
For as long as
we both shall love.
If you have to go,
Then let this goodbye be as dark and tragic
as your mother’s tears.
Let it be as loud
As the first sound you made when you
Left her womb,
Scared,
Desperate,
Lonely.
In my mind,
You’ll always be a child.
Like a moon, scared to show it’s whole face
But oh!
If only you saw the light
that shines through when you do
It’s so beautiful.
You’re so beautiful.
I hope the kiss of death
Is as fresh and beautiful as your first breath.
If you have to go.
