Ritual Sacrifice

“How to get your wife back with ritual sacrifice.”


They say you shouldn’t sacrifice people
but she doesn’t want diamonds
she doesn’t want kittens or kids

 

and waffles didn’t bring her eyes
back to mine with sweetness
but I am willing to appease this goddess

 

Through ropes and blades I carve my love
one hole in a fair maidens chest
one little heart for two

 

so, I gashed a grin with sin
-one swift grope to the chest
and felt her smile rise

 

Now, a dozen kisses met again
from a time buried long ago
and our blood felt hot and bold

 

like summer in our skin, all bounds unbound
praise to my goddess, boundless be.


BONUS CREEPIER VERSION:

 

With a series of storms,
her eyes push me farther out to sea
but my heart drums on

 

Swarming in a dozen thorns
she thickens a cloud around
but I still feel the smile she tried to bury
a long time ago

 

To save her heart from sinking slow,
I paint the ground a pity red
dredging my marriage with a fleshy angel
giving a piece of heaven to my goddess

 

we’re taking back the art once lost
true

 

some sacrifice for seasoning rain
some, sacrifice for bringing pain
but, I give the life for the wife I held

 

We are the ship wreck that set sail
and we feel the frothy sea pushing,
heating the hell-heaven in our wind.

 

The black, the hope, and the ladder

“Write about the future when the past was bad, but today was good.”


Yesterday was the oldest day I ever had.
it swam and buried the sky in a wet year
the moments were patches of passing
unlifted was the day so burned,
it shriveled with no passion in the oven,
tasteless and runny, chalky and crude.
 
Today sits up and breathes away the holes
it moves infinite and speedy like love,
packing neatly into minutes so fresh.
Controlled and clear, today bundles my mind.
Today, the harvest is freckled with red kisses.
 
So, I raise a glass to the tomorrow,
It preps the table
holding all strings
all presents wrapped frozen
for sweet and shy it may melt,
sizzling and drumming it may fold
and we may only trickle through,
casting the black aside and white in,
all for the undone days.

When We Were We

“ill never let you down shane,im here till the end of this nightmare. loving and missing my boyfriend shane lots,  cant wait till this nightmares over and were back together”


 Once loving arms,
when We were We.
Now shrunken shadows.
With passion cold,
Only shells left to hold.
 
We were We,
And now we are each
living like days are nights,
and nights are nightmares
that feel like cold cellars
and vacant streets.
 
Once, we could kiss the storms away-
When We were We.
But now we are gone,
With knots undone.
Like kites lost in tangled branches
Yet, the strings still feel attached.
 
My breathing may turn to tears,
but, I am still filled
with this heartbeat of yours.
Because we need to live
Like when We were We
when the days were easier to swallow.
 
I can’t shrivel my feelings.
because they can’t be lost
when I see you in my dreams.
Which is why I wait,
And why I won’t let you down
when We are We again.

Word Birth

“A poem about writing, please, for one writer from another. ^^”


The collisions of grimy memories.
Slurping on the tides of melodies
like freshwater shaking the sea.

 

Sprung forth from dirt, words
unharrowed, unburned, begun-
pour from pens like spicy wax
coming alive with changing passion.

 

Now these poet’s words 
rest loose on rocks
ready to be splashed and cracked
open for my brave assembly.

 

My hand plunges into the black
to take what disconnects senses from sense,
which lingers on roots of tongues.
I stitch it into curtains
to decorate and encapsulate
the life that surrounds us
within our swirling existence.

 

The wooden dusk is foundation.
The heavy rhythms of old rise up
from the depths of rusted fog
whispered from the untied worlds
to caress our unbalanced.

 

To find the free words
takes only unfeathered focus
and an eye for the unseen
then the knots unlock
and words sprout stories.

Theatre of Life

“I would love a poem about theatricality in daily life. I’ve been thinking
about this topic for a while, I would love to hear a poetic take on it :D.”


The rehearsals of childhood,
repeated, practiced, restructured,
and engraved onto our blank brains.

 

Our roles are like ropes
which we pull for guidance
and wiggle for fun.

 

We mold our meat
for our roles,
for what we ought to be.

 

And the more we act,
the more we see the truths.
Rapturous nature, calming deaths, frivolous passions.

 

When the moon glows hot during showtime
and our eyes strain to see
what is real or upstaged reality,
we see the real stage.

 

The podium of stars and trees-
ever changing to fit the actors
who change costumes to fit the weather,
like delicate dreams that shift at night.

 

It’s these days of overturned acting
that make the moon grow anxious
and the sun takes us backstage again
to find our moldy scripts.
