I am weary of the dragged fly-legged
scrawl that bangs against your
haughty jutted heart.
Little cramped words written in
moon spattered midnights.
On crisp, smooth virgin paper
with ink dropped tears bleeding watermarks.
Tired, so exhausted of chafing
my ragged heart.
Burning love into those jade eye pools serene like a Spring morning, yearning to melt feathered hoarfrost covered hawthorne cheeks, be the golden sunlight in your Universe and pierce a stoic raven's Soul.
Everything takes me away from you
slipping by as a fast moving taxi.
Passed familiar streets, glaring city lights
at warp speed pricking my eyes.
I call out for you into the ridges
of yesterday's wind.
Thinking I'd hear a whisper of a whistle.
And wound myself inwardly
on the sharp edges of night.
Silence and the air beats dead
like a slackened drum.
Crumpling the pages tight
one by one letting them fall.
Above stars are dimming
a crescent moon wanders down slowly
as a flock of migratory birds on their journey
are blowing like smoke across the sky.
