First tears fall

Ethereal tones steal into my heart
Ritual demands
Feather kisses along spine
Choices made and remade
Cold seeps in
Memories cement
Cherished forever
Your lips on mine

Try again?

Looking back, I wonder
I wonder why I allowed situations where I was in so much pain
I wonder at feeling those highs when the lows lasted for so much longer
I wonder why do I want someone to eat with me when I so much enjoy sitting alone at the restaurant, eating at my slow pace, reading my book
Experiences that aren’t made better
I only dance in public when I’m not with someone I know
I’m only free from all expectations on my own

But still, I miss having someone.
To love. To kiss. To hold.
I miss sleeping next to someone.
Not all the time, but sometimes.
I miss that moment when you look at each other and everything is said and nothing is spoken

Valley avalanche

Numbers cascade like pebbles
Becoming boulders
Making one bolder
Standing taller
Waiting for the final
WHUMP

Howling at the moon

Steps burn as ice
Chill wind creeping through skin
Grins at the moon
Midnight dancing
Grime soaked sweat
Small prickles cascade to torrent
Of needles scraping flesh
Exploding
Pain
Then the world is remade anew
