11:11

I wandered down the sand
as golden morning light  bled slowly over the horizon;

a freshly torn yolk.
burning away the thick white mist.


walking over eggshells
& empty words

 I found your body

 devoured
 & picked clean

leaving only           
              feathers and bones

to be bleached by the noon day sun.

eyes
: hollow






torn from their sockets,

I set them gently
with black snail shells & pearls.

as if to make you see again.

blood throbbing faintly in my fingertips:
widowed and wanton.
I knelt there, remembering the words you once spoke to me
birds faintly crying in the distance
:
.


I whispered into the
dark & early morning
smelling newly fallen rain
that hung on blades of grass
& danced down spider webs
:
.

I wait.

freckles
in the shape of orian's belt
sprinkled down my cheek,
like fallen stars.
I frown

trying to remember
trying to forget
the sparkle in your eye,
a thousand tiny crystals.


It's time to wake up.


you are
eros

 
   {tempest in a teacup}
holding skeleton keys/
to open hearts .  .  .

like


mine.

you made a thousand promises
that burned to ash.
 
every-           hollow-          one -

& fell away, like paper ghosts    
       
                                                    into the wind.

now I'm forever searching
the sky & the sea
all
indistinguishable shades of grey.


alabaster reverie

stars like pin pricks in the sky
I am searching for those moments :
lost
over an endless silver tide.

holding your bones close to my chest,
as if my tear drops could wake

you

back

to

life,

but you
just slept.

I could never seem to tell you
what I really meant,


I've forgotten the light, and lost
every dream.


-        -          -
I whisper still
a dark epiphany







I loved you endlessly
dear,

now please . . .










come back to me.
