Sacrifices

"It's good to hear your voice, Juliana." "Feeling isn't quite mutual." I could feel him shift uncomfortably, but he didn't face me. My shadow loomed over him as I walked towards the dresser. I was glad I had hacked into the sensors and lights before even coming inside. He wouldn't have wanted to see my face, or what was left of it. "He looks nice in this vid, if a bit scruffy," I paused as the soft hum of the electronics inside the vid-frame lit up the screen, playing a video of Richard and his husband someplace warm. "You both look happy," it felt heavy in my hand as I turned it over, "Recent?" "Uh, yeah? Month or so ago?" his voice tra

Autumn was my first love.

October, I follow you - from the magic lights of New York to moonshines in Georgia, until the colors dissolve. The anxious poetry of autumn made a memory of me. Here’s to things I take for granted: September blues, chasing airplanes, country road thunderstorms. Unspoken words, unwritten ideas. October, I follow you; I thought I saw you on the shore where the river runs through gold on the last boat leaving the city of a hundred spires - or perhaps Pittsburgh (it was the lights I guess). Here’s to the things we leave behind: sunbeams in November, letters addressed to no one, poems, wounds, dead birds. I’ve got that summ

Winter Haiku

Snow dappled mountains Majestic in their glory Winter's Sentinels... A winter flower She rises above all odds Behold how she blooms... Snow falls to the ground Collecting each unique flake turning the ground white... David Rogers

Winter Intimacy

Aluminum-wrapped snowflakes pinning down my frostbit tongue - a numbing needle sensation expressed in sapphire blue... ...it renders you speechless too, seeing how each star shape falls. Finding solace on my very mouth, a kiss well overdue.

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

'nothing' is a raptor

*** Listen to me read this piece: When I tell you "it's nothing" you usually hear: the clouds are dark and rough like elephant skin and I'm caught up in the folds of an ear, tangled and desperate for relief but unsure how to flip myself an escape. You usually hear: the world is still turning on its axis and I am left breathless, breaking.... broken in more ways than I can count on my hands, broken in more ways than I can put a name to, broken in more ways than I can ever explain. It's not that simple, really. Really, "nothing" is a raptor dragging furrows down my sides, screaming unintelligible. "nothing" is horseshoes and handgrenade

You

One tie Bonds two souls, Hate grows. Stronger, stronger, Stronger. I hate you. More than anything, Anything, I hate you. I long to see your body lie, Lifeless. I long for your eyes, To stare without seeing, Forever. I long for your blood to run, Like a river. To stain my hands with murder, Murder, murder, Death. Your death. As much of s blessing it would be, Death is not enough for me, And my Hate, My true pure Hate Remember… My only reason for your continued life, Is what is left of my sanity. But I will find a way to hurt you. To kill you. To kill, To kill. Our tie won’t last And then… My Hat

Lesbian

My thoughts wandered back into my fourth grade mind frame. She had beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, And a perfectly white smile that reflected the sunlight like a mirror. She was a good teacher, mmmhmmm, good to look at, And I even knew it back then, Before I knew I was a lesbian. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Ranbows are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, And so am I! My thoughts wandered back into memories of Sam, my first girlfriend. She was shorter than I was, with wavy black curls, And with hazel eyes that seemed so enchanting, And she had beautiful pale white skin, mmmhmmm, lovely girl, And I knew it

Poetry

I found meaning In words so unspoken, And the places No eye catches. In the shade of behemoth movement, Watching a life Behind the borders of mind, Without a breath or word A reason to question the air above my head. How I breathe And am held down, And crawl through forests Still as the sky. Release burden, And listen to what was always there Between branches and channels, And breathe. Learn from each To know yourself. And the one's you would surrender it all for. Continue with that emblem To reaches Out of corners. Make the road your own. Forget each curve And listen in silence.
