Without
Resistance
We all fall
At the
Same rate,
My love,
I’ll meet you
At the bottom
Of everything,
Broken open,
Spilling hope.

The violence
In the vibrance
Of the violet
Is another way
Of screaming
And my heart
With it.

Here’s a short horror story I wrote some time ago, based on a picture prompt. Thought I’d share it for spooky season!

Hell hath no fury
Hell needn’t any.
The frost stung enough
And the blades kept singing.
All the devils
All the devils
Laughing in the wind.
Hell hath no fury,
Hell hath none.
It blooms instead in
Wild and forgotten
Groves
And bones.

Speak to me
In the language
Of forgotten
Constellations,
Tell me all
Secrets held by
The stars.

Your kiss,
A benediction
Against this
Cursed skin,
Let the stars
In their envy
Burn. Let us,
In our sin.

Can’t sleep. Tell me a story?

I wore a cardigan today and it was 88 degrees and I don’t care. If I’m wearing a cardigan, it’s fall.

Cut the light,
Let it bleed,
Bury it inside
Of me, a dark
And fitting tomb.

Come find me in
The Mausoleum
Of night, pleading
With the stars in the
Dead language of
Constellations.

The earth
Will yield
To the burden
Of my body,
All the love and
Grief in me
Seeping into
The soil,
Traces of
A life lived
On broken glass
Freed,
And I will
Finally sleep.

You’ve read
The riotous ruin
In my blood
And by exquisite
Love, you’ve
Let it.

You run
Through me,
Fault lines
Threatening,
Veins of gold
In quartz of
Grey, shadowed
Fractures in
The landscape
Of my being.

@BeAware yeah, I’ll be alright. Thank you for asking 🖤

There are
Constellations
Of scars
On my skin
Waiting to
Guide you
Home.

‘Til whatever comes after death

Brave,
The willow is
For weeping
Openly,
While we
Swallow
Our sorrow.

You are
The question
Shadows ask
Of light, met
With the mercy
Of the stars.
