I catch a feeling
that wraps around bone
and settles between empty spaces
seemingly a life time away
in another universe
in the bend of rhythm
you crawled under rib cage
and became conversations
with an expiration date rapidly approaching
my air was constricted
with you there
in observation of scratches
that whisper prayers
while music births
acoustic emotions
nine shades of blue
where only grief exists
I walked with loaded words
in a natural balance
comfortably numb
belting bible verses
from rooftops
as I spring from ashes
in screams of hallelujah
constant takes practice
even when shit smells
I never knew
down was so far
and when I hit it
reflections splattered
along river banks
I searched for everything I could
to blame you
for opening distance
a pale morning
leaves me to realize
a taste of seasons
empowers me to stroke my muse
with the body of words
in thin rows of white
the color of my existence
is contemplated by sky
as cold clusters of memories
blow by from time to time
just like you blew through me
no words can justify
the thread
that tied us together
in suspended beats
of our heart
or the way I thought the earth
turned inside your eyes
pieces of us
that faintly live
on certain days of the week
in the headline
of my poetry
finally laid to rest
