promise me

promise me

put your hand on my face,

this
phantom feeling.
just a whisper, dancing on my skin.
tingling.

skipping rocks in the ocean,
ripples and trickles.
that's what this is...

an almost memory of something to come.
that's what this is.
a promise.
the muscle memory that feels your hand on my face. that's what it is.

it's a promise.

Gilded Gold

Image
Laying there languidly barely caressed by the sweet wind swirling around your ears and in and out of the baby hairs on your arm lifting a few long hairs from your head, dancing across your face the sun is gilding you with golden brown sugar dripping down from its rays slowly slowly you close your eyes and let go. it's that feeling some people try to force with anything they can pure bliss warm, gilded gold.  you hear the sweet wind fluttering each leaf sounding like maracas the birds just small creatures who know nothing else but those leaves one songbird calls calmly to his mate who echos him they let each other know where they are never too far from one another always close enough to echo it's not a song of desperation or a lost, hollow cry for help they're warmed in gilded, dripping gold from the sun. i will always echo you i'll always be close enough to hear you call out for me.

I get excited. Things always happen in the Fall,  I suppose. Just different things than Spring things. It's linked to school starting back and to the beginning of the holidays. Summer flings turn into serious relationships that, if they survive all the way through Winter, could turn into the real deal. The air turns brisk, and it tastes different.

one more word & you won't survive

out in the center line cars passing by on either side nobody is looking at you. nobody sees you peeling back your layers peeling and tearing at your skin until your stomach is a gaping hole, the white hot energy coursing into the different channels in your body your veins frayed, nerve endings jagged like wires ivory cage struggling to keep it all in you pull off different parts of yourself until you're too fragile and you scatter them all across the pavement ashes raining down like confetti, catching in the wind, feathers nobody is looking at you as your knees become one with the ground with a crack, splintering your bones blood trickles in strings and you're desperate for them to see, screaming at them to see and simultaneously hiding behind your fingers so they can't so they can't see what you're doing to yourself what would they think?
