for you.

By sIo

titanically irrelevant i flush down
the tiles like niagra
you tend me a like a wolf
and i cry sheperd to my love
he watches me collide with
spring.

i stroke the egotistical thought
that i am capable of love
yet i surrender to the notion
where it proves wrong notionless
and pray

forgive me.
merciful darling such love i do
require set in prone i lie in weight
for you to be impatient with me
so i may skip the midnight madness
of this cat and mouse chase

realize the impersistence of my movements
it's not intentionally depth perceptive on
a key note line of mistake
jester won't you stand at my side
as i crumble? i would prefer it
if you held this mirror

in my stead

you make the breath i fold in
full house and i embrace the silence
under water like this bubble i reiterate
only you would i let in

make me tremble so i cling
to your unforsaken words like
diamond cuts and platinum
bands.

blow not my kisses far from thee
i'll catch your breathe if you
take mine.

  • A former member wrote: I agree. Different parts stand out each different time I read this. Like watching a good movie, you catch things that slipped through the gap the first couple times around. The way you write is so unique, like a stiff mixed drink. Rough, a little sweetened and gets the job done every time. So very good, fishy. +tpu+
