Fae queen

What plans may make
To bind, to break

Seal me in
This burning skin
And dance my eyes
To take

haunted rows,
Midst fallow groves
The flowers fair do reach

And on your brow
You wear
your crown
of twist goldenrod

My soul is yours to keep

Bemusedly Betwixt

There is door
between moon
And
stars
All draped in blackest tack

Whilst it breathes
You’ll find me here
amidst the wreathe and wrack

Narrow back
And
Twisted rose
A smile made of lack

To my home
I must go
Ere the night bites back

Major Arcana

The fool dances his tune
A merry wanderer
Giving chance a shaking
A snowstorm in a snow globe
Each piece set in ribald chase
Each course changed
A subtle shade of yearning

Painkillers

slipping out

aches and reminders

of life

Pains forgotten
It all seems light
But on horizon

The struggle
The fight

Life without pain
Is seductive
Falsehoods generally are
Just a pill to make it better

Just a pill will get you far
Seductive song to get you going
Just as strong to keep you up

This will is full of knowing
When a little is too much

Lost frogs

This blank page staring back
Words filter like strained seaweed
Plopping on the canvas
Like desultory frogs
Wondering how they got there

The flu

Drag me to the river
Dump me right in
I’ll float down to the sea
Where I’ll be done in

Last gasp of the forbidden
Last dance before sunset
Last night on earth

Time dilation never works the way you want it to

When does a week feel like an eternity? I honestly thought it had been at least two weeks, but I checked the calendar and just one. I’m floored. It feels like so much longer. Like years, like decades. I miss you every day. Sometimes every hour. I miss the sure knowledge that I’d dreamwalk to you and we’d sleep together in our dreams and both our days would be better for it. I miss you telling me that you woke refreshed and happy and I felt like I was apart of that because I’d felt you in my arms. Though usually you got hot and pushed me away and I would say “you can hold me if you want to”. So we’d switch places and sleep the rest of the night.

One week! Feels impossible that so little time has passed. And really, I don’t think I’ll  ever be ready to watch you go. I accept it because I have no choice but it is never a decision I would make on my own. 

I thought it would be easier though. I was very wrong.
