I. rainy days, shaking foundations of
human anatomy & deconstructing
the many paths to illusion written in bone
& muscle, sheer cold making both (of us)
quake -ache for sunlight, warm(er)
days & warm(ing) smiles.

there was a rush of thought, a rush of
heat lining my cheeks at your smile, something
like a proposition rolled from your touch &
fell from your lips & we caught fire. (again)
& just for a moment nothing had changed
(but everything does) & i have to remember
to breathe because oxygen is important & i
have a bad habit of forgetting small facts like that

& how (un)well we seem to get along &
damn you, this is all your fault.


II. through the clouds, i discovered India,
trying to  erase the taste of copper pennies
from her lips and her memories; wild berries
crushed on pale fingertips ghosting over
untouchable wisps, capturing everything
better forgotten and dotting the horizon.

i take the window seat in silence,
watching colors fade from my grasp
& darkness mingles with exhaust(ion) to
blot out the night's only silver.
Yes, *Purplecherry5, I hijacked that title from you.

This is no where near finished, and I don't think I'm going to be working on it for awhile. But any of my long time watchers know how well that whole phrase works.

I'm quitting now, with a half finished poem that plays off of spelling, and I think Nanc (*Purplecherry5) is almost finished with her poem (LINK HERE LATER, GUYS.) and yea, sleep. Nancy's been laughing at all my fuck ups with Sin (Bamboo tablet guys, I got one and he has a nameee.) and now I need to sleep. Or deal with work for class. SO basically, sleep.

Edit; Yes, I know this isn't my usual. Less choppy/blender worthy sounding, I think. Not fond of it.

Edit; That link is here:
The Other WomanAlligator accusations.
Breaking barricades.
Cheating couples.
Depressing declarations.
Enormous endings.
Finding facts.
Guaranteed ghosts.
Honest hypocrite.
Interesting insight.
Justified jester.
Kissing killer.
Loving loser.
Majestic moron.
Nicest narcissist.
Obliging outsider.
Perfect poison.
Quiet quest.
Restless revolutions.
Sour soul.
Transgrassive tramp.
Unachievable urge
Varing vengence.
Wavering will.
Xenodochial xanthippe.
Yielding yearner.
Zero zeal.
