Sometimes, the words left unsaid, are the ones that tell the story.

I awake
sweating,
heart beating,
breath catching—

it flits still,
at the edges
of memory—
dancing darkness
around my
consciousness.

I watched it burn

I watched it burn

Again.

I watch it
every time.

Then I awake
to the ashes
of you and me.

The light had gone hours ago. The room stayed still, neither dark nor bright, just waiting. Dust floated without purpose. The air no longer cared who breathed it first. Nothing ended, but nothing began again either.

Words linger in the darkness
Like moths hoping and restless
Fluttering around cold wicks
Remembering light once fixed

The wondrous nook where I once read books and dreamed so many somedays was now dust-covered and tarnished. It may have always been that way, but I had never noticed. So entranced was I that imaginative transportation took me far from reality.

She told him love was a doorway. He built one inside the wall, small enough for only a whisper to pass through. Each night, he waited beside it, listening. To build a thing is not to open it, and what listens too long forgets which side it’s on.

I feel it in my bones.
A chill
I choose to blame
On the rustling leaves.
A sudden gust
Of realization
That tells me gently,
"It's over now."

Trees overlook the entry
Wooden floor to ceiling
Muddy boots a messy line
Of drunken soldiers
From the mud wars
Did my pack fit in?
No probably not
But I had hoped
In the morning hours
Fog in the rushes
Clover at the window
A spot on the floor for me?
A book in hand
I could blend in

Found a niche in the corner of my eye
Where no tear or stinging wind could pluck free
Those beguiling visions of you and me
Holding dreams of what-ifs so tenderly
While gales and chances keep passing me by

In the small, hidden spaces
Where imagination thrived
The warm and safe places
Where I felt alive
Held apart from angry faces
My dreams could still survive
From behind the bookcases
Violence ruled the other side
But my reality erases
When I went to hide

past its prime, the dying fire clicks,
its red shimmering beneath ash gray
suggesting how it once knew heat.

somehow you're here and not here,
in our bed and elsewhere simultaneously,
casting no image now the light's so dim.

I kiss our secret spot
that's definitely moved.

it’s a strange thing
to fall in love
with a poem

to yearn
after stanzas
and s y l l a b l e s

to smile as a simile
to hold a metaphor
like a dire breath

I am not one
to fall
yet I see myself
reflected in the
turning leaves
tumbling ever
downward

they hit
the ground
gently
as I hope I will

though you
have spoken
right to
the very heart
of me
with your
gentle words

leaving me
a floating
l
e
a
f
on the
breeze.

Falling leaves, as the bones of

That last leaf
Lifted by the breeze
Was caught in my bones
And in the hush of night
I can hear in its rustle
A tale of its fall.

I'm a remote star
fading out infinitely—
an eternal unbecoming.

I started broken,
fractured at the core,
letting in dark matter—
a twisted seam
splintering inwardly.

But in brokeness
is beauty
and when
I supernova
let the darkness
consume me—
one with solitude
evermore.
