My Dark Ignites into Kisses

My heart pressed into love shapes

I’ve handed you the white flag.

I need your mercy.

kindness with depth
and curiosity
for right reasons.

I don’t fear
I’m unseen here.

My dark ignites into kisses

lips against the sacred

mouth finding absolution.

I’m wholly myself
when on my knees.

Gravity of Attachment

I loved him like he was my sun.

Shining for him
I split myself open.

Fragments

lodged dagger-sharp
in my heart,

a cage
I bled out in.

hoping he’d pick up a shard
for an hour,
a day,
a minute,
a hi

just a taste of his love
was enough.

until all the beauty in the world
spun down,
held in his hand,

feeding me
small increments
of good.

it wasn’t good for me.

but I liked it anyway.

Even when the cost rose,

carrots dangled

small victories
just out of reach.

A starving rabbit
hops.
