The night is cold and bleak is composed of verses
that explore the mysteries of love,
shattered humanity, life, and
a fling
with Death.
I hunger
I hunger for things that have a soul
If you have one, I will eat you...
I know a woman
who, in order to breathe, writes a line or two
of poetry
I also know a man
who dances, naked
in moonlight
with the ghost
of his beloved
I ate them.
I hunger for things that have a soul
and I am starving
Because when I show
the world
a beautiful
red rose
they only
see
the thorns.
I killed myself
I killed myself
a thousand times
in fiction
so that
I could face
this life
without losing
my Soul.
With her arms crossed With her arms crossed behind her backtrapped in a pillowcase,
she was a candle in the night Write a poem on me she said
and I obeyed, very carefully
First, with my lips, then
with my tongue, I wrote
slowly on her canvas
while she held me with her eyes -
eyes that spread out like branches
touching the biggest stars More luminous than the evening,
I tore the night to pieces
and dipped into her soul
Be gentle she whispered with a sigh,
like a soft flower to the moon
while I continued to contemplate the fire,
burning her secrets with my desire With my lips replete with her kisses
and her breaths breaking on my skin to the sound of grace,
she bit my shoulder, and pulled me up from the depths of the earth
to the sun blazing in her body I pressed her cheek against the pillow
and watched her melting, with every thrust
The sheets, wet and swollen,
wild with dreams She whimpered, crying
tears of the moon -
yet she was glowing We died that night
We died that night when I sank
deep
into her arms
and drowned,
she held my hand
to the other side
of life.
