Your name on my lips
Sounds like a prayer
Held back for long
Behind gritted teeth,
Bitten tongue
Of a pretentious atheist
And in moments of bareness,
When I crumble and say it
Your name sounds like a hymn

Adventure
I have always been enough
But you reach into arcane corners of me
And show me I am so much more
than all that I have discovered
I am not lost, not broken
But we find new pieces of me sometimes
and you tell me, I am an adventure
Push
Why do you pull me close
untill I am standing on the edge of my resolve’s precipice,
Ready to plummet into the abyss of your stygian soul?
Oh cruelty !
when you do not intend to catch me when i fall?
Why do you weave webs for me
And disappear at the selvage?
foolish!
why do you run?
you said I streaked across your starless sky
like a blazing comet
Coward!
Did the brilliance blind you?
Why do you push me off
then push me back,
Flaunting the escutcheon you have borne
to guard your heart?
Fie on you!
Listless lover!
Go lie dormant
In the prison of your ribcage
while senescence picks your bones
I need no pushing,
I have got my breadcrumbs of heartbreak
and I can find my way back home
