All Your Words

All your words
And all your advice
Never add up, never sufficed
And in December
I thought I found my way out of my mind
But I saw I had got lost in
Leafless halls and winters frost
Cold bit softly and so often
I woke with teeth marks on my mind
When the dissonance is airtight
I still pretend it’s alright
Making room means breaking myself
In two truths and two lies
Oh through all this time
I still hear your voice
Come into my mind
Like the tide
Now I find my voice gets lost
Inside the past
Inside what’s happened
How do I move through myself and into something good?

Empty

I am empty now
Leave me with my doubt
I am not yours
Don’t ask me anymore
Into open hearts
You say I’ll find comfort
Into broken hearts
We go
we’ve been there from the start
No I don’t want to let go
No I don’t want to leave
But I’m not one
To know when I should grieve

Invite You

We were told
To take care
Of each other
As if by a mother
So she will, and he’s still
Leaving the next day
Ferries and busses and airplanes
Gone to a party
Back in your city
I lived there too once,
Though only briefly,
For an eternity
At times
Though it didn’t last long enough
to remember as such
You move through the stillness
Unfolding the room as I write
About my last love
Circled in memory
Lines drawn outside of me
I invite you in anyway,
Dancing between and around
All you remind me of
Tracing the sadness
Raw as an open wound
Your hands they are gentle too
We were told to take care of each other
As if by a mother

Reverse Bloom
04:53
|

|
You break the silence with a song
In the emptiness my answer rings
Your bitter words have grown in strong
Through the cracks
You’ve heard me say I’m sorry
Now the grass has all gone gold
And there’s still a risk of fire
Yellow moon behind the smoke
I feel the broken, handmade thing
I feel like I can fix it but you’re telling me I can’t
Should I listen
Let your words run in
Tears down my face
Reverse bloom
Now a year has passed since we’ve seen each other
Spinning through our lives
Far apart, it’s true
Maybe in another year or two
You’ll be there
And I’ll be there too
And how our voices grew
Inside our hands and flew
Like butterflies, I see your eyes
Reverent and wild
I tried

Vines

I lie tangled in the vines of the past
Dried and cracking
Snapping as i shift
Perking the ears of unseen creatures in the dark
As I stalk through my own mind
If I open my eyes enough
I see through these dead and breaking branches
Once soft and green-
Into the haloed openness
A meadow in morning light
Deer browse unafraid
Rabbits dart to find the shade
Beneath the boughs
Reaching towards a blinding warmth
