night

Feel the night press against your back and forget about yesterday and the day before that. Remember the electricity racing at your fingertips. Hands running over skin and the feeling of warmth from being near someone. Remember the affect she had on your heart as it swelled with every kiss she stole. And never forget how fast your heart raced when she was near. Never forget that feeling of lost breath whenever she suddenly disappears and you realize it was only a dream. Nay, a nightmare. She still haunts you even after you've come undone.

ache

i have these intense yearnings for flesh.
for fingertips dipping and diving along my spine.
i need the taste of lips burning along feverish skin.
weak knees shaking like fresh fish out of water.

sidewalks.

i'm always walking down sidewalks hoping that maybe today i'll meet someone new. someone interesting like a hobo who thinks he's a pirate or a cat with two tales but they never come. i think they're out there watching from a distance and observing how peculiar i am.

tiresome.

i'm watching the clock
counting downs hours, mi nu te s, s e c o n d s
just waiting and waiting while he speaks on todays lesson
maybe the bell will ring sooner or later
most likely later than sooner
sighs, what a let down

i guess i'll just have to be some kind of patient
some kind of passive
though never aggressive
settle into the sound of these click click C L I C K S.

relate i on the ship.

we are falling down these stairs of empty emotions.
trying to catch ourselves...
regain our composure with words like love and affection.
trying to give off a little TLC as strong as a wrestler's B.O.

grasping for anything solid to stop this spiral
like hugs and kisses
but only gaining bruises on hate and disagreements.
bumbling about on things like confusion and frustration.
only to settle on, goodbye.

haiku.

i have these cravings.
like maggots eating away dead flesh,
we never really are satisfied.

haiku.

it's dark outside now.
hot flashes from early hours.
we were only seventeen.
