you can see that
this is a give-and-take warzone,
but somehow, we made it
a give-or-devour domain
and i'd tell you you were
beautiful in every language
known to humankind
if i could,
but there is no such word in your
book, only lists for
ranks of each side:
angel or demon,
succubus or cambion,
creators or destroyers,
weakness and strength,
the broken and the never-been-broken
the sad and the exulting
god forbid you ever decide
that keeping me
around was worth the fight
'cause if you wanted me,
there would have
been a word for love in that
bat-skin-covered diary
you never untie from your cloak
(funnily enough, there was
never any mention of my race
in that little red book of yours)

all the words
taste like salt
on my lips,
although all the oceans
evaporated and stopped
throwing up corpses
long ago;
now all our souls
lie bloated in the
burning sand -
the sun beating
down on our heads
like a war drummer
that got lost
along with the
cause.

but I don't think they're hungry.)

contrary [e]motion
Every once in a while
the mountain winds
taste of salt,
so much that I could
cup my hands
like shells
and picture white waters
marvel at oak roots
for the first time,
hear the seagulls
cry for food
let’s build a castle
you and I,
made of stardust,
down the street
where the last wish
went to die,
let’s make boats
of these empty pages,
and flowers,
and hats
to call our crowns.
Let’s dance alone
you and I,
to the sharp
light melody
of a moon
and let’s stay,
oh let’s stay,
grow old
you and I,
in the place
where the roses lay.

keeps the earth still
beneath my feet
but the clouds above

we sit side-by-side and i pour my dreams
down the drain, one-by-one;
you do not yet know i am the
epitome of natural disaster and
that when you offer me soft words
with gentle hands
i will pick them apart
mercilessly
in the dead of the night
and
throw them aside.
you are too kind for me and
i cannot survive another broken heart.
(yet here i stand,
falling hopelessly in love with you)

the word choice and flow of this is amazing. i love how mysterious it is, and how it seems to hold a story much bigger than what's actually written out. <3
