Tangled Heart
With a final drop of blood my heart collapsed
A crimson stain the soil greedily drank.
Slowly, a blackened cane appeared and grew.
Not straight and tall, but crooked. A tangled mess of branches.
Over time, the brambles grew into a heart shaped thicket.
Strong.
Thriving.
Its branches and thorns glistening a deep ebony.
The night velvet leaves swallowing the sunlight as night devours day.
And there my spirit reclaimed my heart.
A thorny, blackened thicket.
That grew from chaos and refused to become fragile again.
A Scar
All the promises we made
The empty words displayed
Strewn as breadcrumbs on the ground
Emptiness the echoing sound
Kiss my eyes as they close on you
My cold calculation your only due
For you have made what I’ve become
Cold, heartless and ultimately numb
I see you now, the truth unveiled
A child, crying - leaving my heart jailed
Now, as the chains fall. I’m finally freed.
From your clever manipulation, for all have seen,
What you were and what you are
A spot on my heart… a healing scar.
Time
Hourglass figure
Your sand running through my hands
Too heavy to hold
Undertow
Undertow of thought
My mind, a turbulent sea
Waves crash against waves
She didn’t break my heart, but taught me how to love with every broken piece

Your whisper holds me like a promise
An unheard echo of my heart’s desire
There’s a thrumming in my chest that relentlessly beats for you
A keening that aches for your gentle touch
To soothe the savage beast trapped within my ribs.
Hunger
Desire
Lust
Three unquenchable ravenings that claw at its boney cage.
Which can only be sated by you.
Your heat can tame the beast
Your fire can quell his hunger
And your embers, he can call home.
