| Forever Yours | Conspicious Consumption | Confessions | Over You |
O Love
Let me encase forever
My heart in concrete
Let liquid ground stone
Flow
Along arterial passageways
Through aortal archway
Into ventricular chambers
Solidifying in me eternally
This fluttering butterfly combustable state
Of having known your bliss
I feed myself from steaming
plates
Of honeyed fantasies
Consume saffron-scented midnight feasts
In starry late-night dreams
I am shoring up the fleshy walls
Of my unrepentent resistance
So when you come again into my world
I will not be emaciated pauper woman
Tempted by day-old kisses
And the slight nourishment
Of your pale green salad gaze
I am sharp-edged woman
Knife pleats coated with stone-ground glass
Whirling dervish shadow warrior woman
Fighting insurmountable phantom demons In howling ink black nights
Cutting all those who come close
Screaming out my anguished regrets
As I watch you flow away from me
In crimson rivulets of pain
Warm blood of mourning pours
From my parched skin
Like sweet sticky honey
Staining pale pinky red
Grey many windowed jagged horizons
As I walk through rose coloured worlds
Praying for comfort
Refusing to think of you
