sometimes, you need a little...

...poetry in your life.

some of my favorite crap, penned while my Muse was half-drunk and eyeing the hack next door.

The Flammable Heart

To have a fire that burns in your soul,
to see a look so profound
it singes your irises as you look.
Spots everywhere you turn
for you are blinded by perfection.
Love you want, love you seek,
yet love eludes.
Only deception knocks at every opportunity,
and fool that you are,
you invite it in every single time.
But practice makes perfect they say,
and one day, when love comes around,
you'll be ready.
From miles away you feel it,
you feel warmth in the air,
radiating from a kindred soul,
from a burning heart,
that the promise of you has ignited.
The truth of it all will have you running
toward joy, toward pain,
unseeing, uncaring,
unable to tell the difference.
All you know is that you can't stop
your legs from pumping,
your hands from shaking,
your heart from pounding.
You are helpless.

And it's exactly how you thought it would be.

Faithless

Turn my head,
(beautiful one.)
Break my heart,
(faithless one.)
Taste my tears,
lick my lips,
feed me lies
from your tongue to mine.
Whisper stolen words
into mine all too willing ears.
Turn my head,
(beautiful one.)
Catch my eye,
(faithless one.)
Then look away,
break the spell,
(and spare me.)
