BITTER LASTING LIQUID - HER BLOOD HEATS SLOWLY.

2011-12-29T18:34:00.000-08:00

I would have burned inside of myself-

If I hadn't learnt how to feel it.

A rapture of midnight meshes under 12 full moons-

If I didn't want to have everything you touched,

you would have known something else.

The moon she follows me, with her winds under-

It doesn't matter how much she accompanies me.

How long she kept her blue life aside, just to regret.

So dense she rises with the morning that smelled of moist caramel hair-

Indulging, so that it doesn't matter as much-

Becoming familiar with what she forgets.

Bitter lasting liquid- her blood heats slowly

sometimes for hours-

Through fire highly concentrated.

Bitter lasting never too late-

to suddenly pull her here again, white and docile.

She feels it in the night again,

She saw me in the night again.

And again she dreamed with the night.

For her- for life - for eternal bleeding- for infinite fire.

She leaves me-

with all her moonlight

behind.

She remembered awkward space-

Out of everything, through everything

He would never know her human relationship.

How her voice pure hearted reached the verge of recognition-

Tiresome diagnosed imagination

Her world was changing, everything else was still.

Don't even think about it-

in the past that was a taboo.

It use to come in small doses of haunting moments,

In the past it was as if the super natural over took her body.

What a shame-

Must be the blood that feeds her mind with a plague of dreams.

It fills her up- making her eyes roll black.

A spectacular disease of perfection.

An infinite deliticassen of intoxication.

and those who saw her -

they didn't even waste their time.

For them this woman was like venom to crime.

In my streams of consciousness Dahlia appeared -

Ambiguous and omnipresent to consume me.

I begin to reconsider my memory-

Dahlia you were born from Olympia,

from heartache or nightmare-

Now you see me die in complications.

Now you see this contagious venom of life you have given to me.

Dahlia- Child travel within me.

Take this moment to come and engage with me -

in absense or in death -

A year will pass in which you will cut right though my golden flesh.

Why cant you lay inexistent to others,

be my anonymous lover.

Maybe then I would understand what it feels like to be left alone,

in your presence draped in lights that bring you alive.

Your non real movements,

the non real ecstasy from morning to night.

Find me looking for you with no eyes,

I couldn't describe- how I found you, no real

sense, no real life.

My life-

the phantom pregnancy of desires ovulating-

the creations of never lasting lover inside.

TANGLED SOLITUDE.

2011-07-18T15:00:00.000-07:00

How could I have been so oblivious-

Licking off my body taste, the summer days

had more sunlight at night.

Habitual rhythms of feeling alive-

oh, if only you could understand.

If only I could realize-

the moaning sounds of a deep dive.

Love me, fill me in with the depth of your eyes.

Elevate my senses towards a better place where my body meets a full sunrise.

Help me overcome this longing of time.

Golden noir , you fall so quickly down my hands.

But at the same time your overpowering density begins to take over my body.

Beginning to carry a dense shine of memory,

growing-

growing to reach my floors once again.

This time you grip on me tight-

blinding me giving me tangled solitude all throughout the night.

From the perspective of the bed your hands looked so close-

to mine.

I could feel the friction in between my fingers

as if inside of you lay a thousand sheets-

of softness.

From the horizon, the wind you blew-

past my neck-

that of an oceans strange breeze

which invites you to currents of -

nausea.

Holding my eyes back towards the darkness of the room-

the light that crept in and exposed passing

by the cracks and ripples of my hair.

I told her what to do-

I took her fingers- all five.

Close to one another-

holding them all in between her thighs.

I lead her to push them in-

A bit tighter.

A bit farther.

I told her she had to reach in.

I said-

Disconnect for a bit.

I told her- Think about her lips soaking right next to mine.

I followed her- watching her fingers loose the way.

As she began to loose herself as well.

I told her to remain.

She said-

Now you know how I feel?

2011-04-16T10:52:00.000-07:00

The behaviour of the woman seemed so unsettling-

Her rigid fingers moving swiftly through the air,

speaking to male with their own sign language.

Her eyes would look the other way- never looking at

his eyes. Her eyes would travel to the other side of the street and back-

following thin air as if she could see the invisible and speak to the absent.

He gripped onto her left arm firmly-

speaking very close to her ears.

I couldn't understand what was being said,

but she would smile from time to time only when she looked up to the sky.

Pacing her steps to his words-

His rhythm took the whole afternoon leaving with the sunlight.

And when the moon came to be with her she showed her eyes.

With a little hum on her lips.

I'll stop by the bedroom every morning, just to arrange my bedsheets so that they match the outline of your breasts. I couldn't resist I had to lay my dry hands on those dry sheets and move along the outlines of your dry presence. From time to time- I collect strands of your hair and every evening I would suffocate myself right before mother walks into the room and whispers to my left ear-

Like she had been born- and reborn making love to rebirth.

She was heard-

As if she was the immaculate voice of feeling.

She was felt-

As if opium had turned her into a rose petal dipped in sour milk.

She was tasted-

Like when you use to hold her legs open upon the moonlight.

She was smelt-

As if she had laid her naked hands across the whole city.

She lasted-

As if she sewed herself to you.

Just as you want it to feel-

Dipping yourself into a powerful drift.

You stay a while with it.

You float away with it.

Your skin tastes like slat

Your eyes the sun.

Your skin rippled-

time you wasted.

Transparency you took my lover away-

- speaking to the horizon- shaped as your body

Everyday when you decide to leave.

The sudden gushes of when I had you inside.

The moisture creeping down my legs-

As I looked down to see it fall,

I could see my sexual desires,

in the path you left behind-

So I stood there-

Staying a while on my own,

Giving myself thrush.

While you laid next to me-

" You lay too silent, you lay too full"

Your sweet smile of betrayal making me feel warmth inside-

learning to understand that you constantly lie.

Courage it takes- to hold a friend.

One that will keep you in their eyes,

one that turns into statue lying next your grave at night.

Dear Friend,

I thought I recognised you as you came from behind.

A world that created a garden of exchanges,

a field of revolutionising flowers wilting in your hands.

Yes dear Friend,

you were as empty as standing in a field at night.

Looking at you with your hands full of nostalgia,

I hope you find happiness in what you have picked,

because those flowers only grew once,

where there is no-

Everything that had once happened lies below me.

Right where my bed and my mind meet,

were all my memories being drowned in thick layers of latex.

Looking down at it all now, it all infuses into a blur beyond a glow.

It's never lost.

It all just lays a few centimetres down the ground now.

Only for a while, till I look back,

You would leave me in the middle of the night,

and wander towards the sky.

You thought,

I thought I would have never realized.

But as the bed woke my whole body up,

passing goosebumps throughout my whole back- it was all

a hollow reminder of what you have gone to catch.

Is this what your searching for-

The longest night of the year with the deepest sky of your lifetime?

Is this what you belong to-

A dark dream with only one light - The moon.

The moon-

Of course I warned you, you'd never reach.

I can only imagine seeing you so small,

so out of touch

The length of my entire body passing over your bed, is

as distant enough to crawl up onto another persons dead bed's dream.

Now It's all different, now its not all about wanting to forget.

Fail in believing that I meant something less, something that got lost

within the harmony of your music.

A mixture of a sudden notion that awakens by my side,

Every morning feeling closer to the edge of my bed,

falling to the first layer, falling through with you.

And in a dream I spent alone, You spoke-

I am lying in your bed, reading my favorite book.

I have the candle on and for some reason I can smell it again.

It reminds me of the first night I spent with you,

I wish you were here to tell me to switch it off.

As she talks, her lips breathe spring roses: I was Chloris, who am now called Flora.

Dear you, who feels it the most,

Again,

I managed to feel an end to a start.

I want to take your heartache and poison myself,

along with your demolished dreams& desires.

If there is one thing I would want to feel right now,

is probably just seeing you not feeling nothing at all.

If there is one thing I would want to see right now,

is probably just not feeling my heart so far away.

Take a look at my hands, full of five fingers.

I move them throughout time.

If my tears werent enough I infused with the nature of the night.

Watching myself standing with a casted shadow,

as if almost travelling so far.

The rain hit the floor,

clearing the shadow and almost touching my eyes.

In a blurred vision you no longer could see me.

As I could no longer see the shadow that once felt like I could explain.

Whilst being cleansed away,

my reason with you is no longer alive.

My reason is the absolute departure of the unsure.

Take a look at my hands,

My Fingers lost.

The damned ones.

ROSE MILK.

2010-04-26T06:41:00.000-07:00

She had inherited her own mustard coloured armchair,

next to the window which was always left open.

She never ordered food, I suppose she fed off the light.

She would walk into the cafe parlour with the sunrise, hanging just at the tail of her long draped dress. And would walk out with the full moon just at the tip of her tongue.

The parlour drenched of her aroma.

The haunting smell of rose milk which kept all the waiters hypnotised until moonlight.

Rare did she share direct eye contact with strangers hands that stroked her hair,

as she sat quietly on her armchair facing towards the open window.

Her hands covered in nude lace gloves, revealed only a splash of red nail varnish.

Being the only colour she wore.

The rest of her body remained mystery. Only her face and hair appeared everyday though the royal blue doors of the parlour.

Casual love affairs would sometimes come around in the afternoon to greet her.

A chair was placed by her side, rigid and empty. She never seemed to acknowledge them, as if she had been accused of knowing a man which called her by what really wasn't even her real name.

When she got nervous she would have the tendency to hold her glass of red wine & rest it in between her legs.

Making the male, loose direct contact with her eyes, and lead him to travel beyond the redness of the devils drink.

No encounter would ever make her think. Only she understood why humans had to become something so redundant in her life. Emotionless.

Only she understood why she didn't want to talk.

Now- follow the description that you just read.

It carried on for another 859 days.

Grey hair, which rested like a garden on her back recollected many of those who watched her gaze through the evolution of days light.

Her last tea cup embodied with her touch.

Her napkin embroided with her lipstick.

A nude glove rested on the parlours floor

next to a decadent arm chair,

which sat forever firmly next to a closed window.

TASTE THIS-

I hope you find the nudeness in

this perfect nothingness you have created.

FLORA YOU LIE SO SILENTLY.

2010-04-18T13:11:00.001-07:00

Nothing feels more intimate to me right now

than the feeling of having my own tongue inside my mouth.

Everything lies so hollow.

The smells of ripe fruit from a spring tree

stranded on the coasts of so called friendships.

Nothing real now.

An overcast of lies,

A few days ago

walking into my bedroom.

Feeling moist inside.

All my secrets and mysteries,

I swallow in pride.

Keeps my tongue alive.
