So full of slight instinct. <br />
Not yet intuition but I cannot help let the desperation cling.<br />
So full of sting<br />
So full of weighted data<br />
I'll let you take me for all my wishes are directed homeward bound<br />
So full of sound<br />
So full of verdance<br />
If in one moment I could think of you I would relinquish controlling it all<br />
So full of mercy<br />
So empty of me. <br />
I'll let you take me there if that's where you want to<br />

Base of spine. If a cat you have lost 3 lives.<br />
My lives are my loves. I too have 6 left. <br />
A rather unusual series of events... <br />
Heavy hearted because who doesn't want to feel? <br />
Heavy mouths will feed. An accolade of what once was and what will continue to be. Suddenly. Almost immediate, heart sinking amongst rising floods of approaching tears.<br />
Howl at the sun the moon is not enough. Sink wolf teeth into stone. Flesh falls from bones. Dare with mercury in vocal chords. Touch peaked too prematurely. It was marginally excusable. Now fraudulent absentian. Blown skin has chewed your tongue. You are a real human being. <br />
Abrasion. Cold. Coldly going. Going down the frosted path I should never have allowed my feet to tread. Intercept thought processes. But it's not good enough. <br />
My blanket of sun won't dry your sodden grey clouds. Repulsive. Look! Look how they hang in the abyss. Drenching smiles with acute deluge. This sorry atmosphere between us... no. <br />
Route our pain with maps. Keep in with army tracks. <br />
Easy, so... we'll circle the view. In stratum. Into this so I wander with you. Tick; it means devoutness. <br />
Stroke the inter. <br />
Grand plans we made in seas and rock of prominent cities. There, in surprise and certainty, so rich and decadent as much as flavoured with bitter ground reality.<br />
Crumble around us. Left scattered amongst brick and mortar. Our dust of broken hearts will settle into new tracks.<br />
And if we walk them again the dust will rise with fury and irritate my skin. It will indulge my weak lungs to frenzy. I will not breathe and I will sneeze from the force of travelling songs emptying from my throat and nerves, spilling on to the dusty road we made but should never have taken. <br />
But carry on. <br />
Give to melancholia your fated hysteria. <br />
Even if your sweet mind can't hold your weary thoughts, your legs will push on forward. One in front of the other. Pushing against the northerly winds while your response kicks back. And so you shall see, I was right all along.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-81198101742142476872011-10-31T23:28:00.002+00:002011-10-31T23:28:56.097+00:00In the dark hours, when I should sleep<br />
the light burns bright and fires are still deeply burning a flame higher and higher for you. <br />
I will myself to break this ache<br />
I still want to be close to you. <br />
To just. Hold hands. Grasp at fingers. Move together. <br />
I am moved by you. I am on my knees. On my knees so raw and calloused from dragging my heavy body through a daily routine. <br />
But in the end, I am a woman in need. That need was not sated. <br />
I am broken by the cause. I am destroyed by the solution.<br />
But to just. Be with you. Take your hands. Trace your bones. <br />
Bones. Laid bare. <br />
Bones; grey and infected by a poison called -. <br />
It runs deep and through fluid and solid matter<br />
It does matter. We are still one. Or am I now half.<br />
But to just hold you and touch you and feel you next to me. I would be happier with your flesh enveloping my flesh. <br />
I will wait for you. Perhaps one day I will forget I was waiting. But deep inside, the poison will remain and I will be waiting like we waited. <br />
Before we made it; we needed. And I was Naoko. <br />
Come to my funeral. Cry. Seep out your poison. <br />
It must end. But. To just hold you. I would cry and the poison would replenish from watering. <br />
One Day.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-52526805486874063342011-10-31T23:27:00.001+00:002011-10-31T23:27:50.102+00:00You shine as silver when we convalesce in autumn sun. Such beauty reserved itself for this day. We spoke once of foul play. Never, in our heart, will such misdemeanors encourage poison to rush forwards through blue veins. We inject secret effusion each morning in glorious moments. Lips touching and devouring heady scent to remind us that we are floating with the greatest of ease down the longest river. An overflow, our love, a pure source of lust.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-54472754611505596602011-10-31T23:25:00.001+00:002011-10-31T23:25:59.097+00:00I noticed your stretched out toes and wanted to press my fingers in the soft gaps.

My heart as a tomb. Waves flooded in those days where your face lit up the caverns. Now mere trickles slowly creep in. I will never again feel the rapturous tides of immense adoration. Your waters swelled in pure and filling emotion. Crisp and quenching I savoured each drop. I take these small trickles that barely cover the solid rock deep at the bottom of this shell. Those walls will grow moss. My tomb will be dank. It will cling to the mediocre supply of life filtering through. My dear. My tomb is nothing without you. <br />
<br />
I was consumed by your breath, your presence, your touch. The first night, so real and full of love, clings on to my memory and I cannot leave it behind. I will not forget you. I will not stop loving you.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-79898774858664643822011-10-12T16:42:00.000+01:002011-10-12T16:42:11.418+01:00Long drawn out pauses have been replaced by incessant mumblings. <br />
I am talking to you. Honest and desperate - curls of uncertain fragments push out from my lips. Immediately they are wafted away like bothersome smoke. You tell me that it’s not dignified but you are the one breaking apart my words until they have lost all fundamental truth. <br />
Oh. We made this together. An uncalculated expression of desire and resignation; we needn’t have bothered. It has launched us into a continuum of nothing at all. Severity not fully understood but it will not improve after the event. Words are replaced by smiles that hide real feelings. But they cannot be shared until grass has been replaced by snow. <br />
Matter-of-fact, succinct; banality of things said by millions of others. We are nothing special but I am still hurting. The incessant mumblings will stop.<br />
<br />
> > > > <br />
<br />
The silence has cast a damp shadow over our frenzied eyes. <br />
With solemn faces, I look into your pupils. They are cold and small. Once upon a time, our eyes dilated in the instant that we saw each other. Large ebony moons in the flooded oceans of blue and green. But those oceans are deserts now and our moons are but insignificant pebbles on grey streets. <br />
Say, did you offer me an embrace? A warm hopeful embrace making me sink into the sand? Or was that a mistake on my part? Is it more a closed cocoon where you will hide me from any other watchers? I may feel safe there but today has shown the falsity of that haven. A moment in which we both come together, but the space is greater than it is when we’re apart. The eyes tell me so. <br />
Stretching pupils, stretching womb. I stretch to touch your face. I am extending and cradling, deeply hurting and silently staring. The shadow does not yet lift.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-39508189650397644272011-10-04T22:09:00.003+01:002011-10-10T23:02:21.418+01:00Crisp clicks and ticks of keys<br />
smooth letters fixed in place<br />
softly they give to the push of words<br />
drowned out by white noise<br />
and still these white tiles are clicking<br />
<br />
I take them in my mouth<br />
I take them in my heart<br />
I feel them beneath red fingertips<br />
<br />
Patient flash, white glare<br />
clogged atmosphere heeds<br />
little black ants from left to right<br />
unsure of meaning<br />
and still these white tiles are clicking<br />
<br />
I took you in my mouth<br />
I took you in my heart<br />
I felt you between red fingertips<br />
<br />
Exuding innocence<br />
Seeping filth; glory days<br />
Decadent in the profound I waited<br />
Devil's hands snail pace<br />

Sticks and stones. Holding their own against broken words. <br />
Touched and made. Lying in reprieve. <br />
An eventuality to halt and relieve. <br />
<br />
Sumptuous moments there beyond affection and bitterness<br />
Electric and statism. Beating in a stained room of fullness.<br />
Just a glance. Looking without seeing.<br />
Feeling. We are still one being. <br />
<br />
Cotton and stitch transfer emotion between two hearts<br />
Excuses to touch and claim adoration amongst curious crowds.<br />
Tears will drop. Slowly but persistent<br />
Unfaltering. But you're resistant.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-24343329080411335072011-09-16T00:07:00.000+01:002011-09-16T00:07:34.590+01:00You have exhausted my waters<br />

I breathe in so deeply that I feel I am taking in<br />
the ocean<br />
and its tides.<br />
The empty waters swarm my lungs and cling to breath that<br />

A scream she did make agonised and loud, and he had regarded but made not a sound.<br />
It was she who had swallowed the blood-tasting pill but he did not know what it was like to kill. <br />
She begged him to help her and curled into a ball but he had not seen the foetus and all.<br />
“Make it stop oh won’t you please OH god no” And so it continued the cruel agony below. <br />
In the mess and the storm, blood filled lakes flowed warm, but blood was not in her veins for reform. <br />
The distances walked and the shoes broken in, heavy splintered womb now echoed the din. <br />
Swollen balloon and fragile like too, language of matter precarious and blue. <br />
The choice had been made earlier that week, and now in full swing, the process it leaked.<br />
A calm moment approaching, both shuddered and rested; if only to ignore the constitution infested. <br />
White hardened ball and horror existing - no longer a heartbeat of pain inflicting. <br />
Sickeningly open and spewing and heaving, nauseating volumes of repugnant bleeding. <br />
Worthy of noting is the sadness of exile; girl of emptiness is exacting and hostile. <br />
How now to denounce the departed of yester, when sitting between soft is still there to fester? <br />
In any offer the passing makes well, as they will find time does tell. <br />
Ultimate loss but inclination conflicting, all longings left in those moments afflicting. <br />
World still turning and breaks do not halt so in earnest they return to their life before fault.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-72344569405828233812011-06-02T22:27:00.000+01:002011-06-02T22:27:25.192+01:00A short developing story:<br />
<br />
Part 1: The Event<br />
Swallowed love is as ripe as peach nectar; animal skin smooth and kind. A million young suns at the end of nerves rush to breathe in oxygen at the surface. Tingling. Blood warm throughout. Vectorous affectations, side by side, movements controlled by poetry. <br />
<br />
Part 1a: AMOR FATI; The realisation<br />
How unbearable to be so loved and to love as I have never before. How cruelly this love sits in my stomach, unprecedented in its resolve. <br />
<br />
Part 2; The Eternal Recurrence. <br />
Legless and senseless but loved. Pulsing beats and embryo rifts permeate from below. Sharp implanting in my spine, a melody resuscitating a tired soul from sleep. Cultivated but neglected in real meaning; an integral part of myself will be taken away.<br />
<br />
Part 3; The end has light and darkness, fury and delirium.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-28447425470022277982011-01-16T22:39:00.001+00:002011-10-10T23:04:47.722+01:00Comfort. It's a comfortable word. Not onomatopoeic but still warming and kind. We take for granted our comfort in the new lights of morning windows but are jolted when sudden light breaks through a gap in the door. We are comfortable with our barriers, with our horizons that are still tangible. But barriers are for breaking, not just by us, but by our closest and nearest; our comfortersMeninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-22705141711484789412010-09-24T12:11:00.000+01:002010-09-24T12:11:10.739+01:00What can you read to me from the depths of hidden meaning? Forget your tired language and ease your green and blue tongue into returning to the chlorophyll of speech that is natural and free, evolving and organic, seeking and finding truth and honesty that imparts wisdom to my polluted ears.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-46019020754501321362010-08-27T11:18:00.000+01:002010-08-27T11:18:30.149+01:00When the trees are still and the forest is silent, the green turning to brown and the leaves curling, be more vigilant, for quiet is not always the peaceful awakening you crave. Here it is sinister and echoes the explorable torment of your hollow mind. Do not stay between these looming trunks for they are sucking your soul through their hidden roots. Run freely to the flowing river and allow the trickle of crisp crystal waters effervesce through your blood, reawakening the clarity of your heart.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-75130808042983800232010-08-13T22:33:00.000+01:002010-08-13T22:33:36.169+01:00We built our foundations on quicksand; slowly we sank, but with determination to hold onto any solid form around us. <br />
We attempted the ascent out of the weighted deluge that had fallen onto our heads and shattered our protecting beliefs. I loved you fully, a pedibus usque ad caput, a capite ad calcem. That love was a brittle creation that we'd nourished with fervour but I polished and tried to restore with manic enthusiasm and this only made those fractures more delicate and fragile. <br />
I cemented our feet in blocks side by side but now we know that cement is no match for a disturbance deep inside. You held onto great rage and my pleas were but muffled cries in cement torn apart by tears and regret.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-20498226344271149512010-08-06T15:37:00.001+01:002011-01-15T21:52:38.345+00:00Search for an academy where flesh can lay with the rest of flesh; let the community of fat and skin linger on bones, one as other. <br />
There in the mound of banality will all human poison seep from our pores. My blood is your blood; my eyes see the same tangible fleece and the rest of proprieters of eyes sewn with poisoned needles.<br />
We are trained to deceive. <br />
Your nose, though larger than mine, still smells the same excruciating sulphur of normalness. It is only our souls and significant sensibilities that differ. Matter does not matter; we are one and the same in almost every way. But the way you think is entirely offensive to the chemical connections of my logic.<br />
My conditionalities and comprehensions do not sleep sound at night. No. They fiercely crawl around my body as wolves to meat soon to be demolished by salts of saliva.<br />
My conflicts are creeping spiders in the vaults of my cranium. I trap myself in a web with fragments of your glacier smile bouncing particles of piercing light on vulnerable threads. <br />
You laugh with simple pleasures. I grimace with hardened concern. There is no rapture behind your eyes. No apology in your routine.<br />
In essence we have no fractures to mend between us; the fault lines are weathered cracks in the sands of our time together. We need only to accept we are both the same sworn men of earth as well as opposing elements of reaction. My ache will not break you. My acidity may numb your sweetness but your flowing syrup will always remain strong in your blood. I will endeavor to compromise with savoury methodology; the kind that can only bubble to the surface thanks to your timely patience for my pedantic disillusions. <br />
Perfumed by your opulent roses, my thorned garden will no longer show neglect. It will be coloured with new blood; the same blue blood that is both yours and mine, flowing with reckless abandon to oxygenate in clean air and once again remind me that we are as one.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-21904893743873135352010-07-04T21:43:00.002+01:002010-08-08T00:59:20.712+01:00My darling. <br />
<br />
I waited for you. You did not come. I realised at that moment that all was lost. I had nothing to occupy my time apart from the functional misery of waiting for you. The hours come and go, as do you each day. I needed you most then, I could feel the falling. I knew the inevitable event would happen on that night and it frightened me. I tried to stop myself from wailing, shaking and taking. My love, I tried to find my exit in the same way I had before and was disappointed in myself, but desperate to continue the act. I needed you to help my profound loneliness come to the surface. I needed you to indulge my neurosis and help me overcome the stabbing pain in my chest. But you did not come. And I could not wait. <br />
<br />
When the begging had been exhausted, and I too had lost all energy to scream, the clouds lifted but hovered over my swollen face. I was calm after breaking down to you. The clouds, they were not heavy with thick rain any more. But they were black as the night and ominous like my being. Would the third time be the success? <br />
<br />
I waited for you to accompany me on my journey to the poisons unit. I saw the anger and lack of understanding in your eyes. I knew that this was a mistake. I knew that despite waiting for you, you could not wait for me to become better. You left me there. Your night had been ruined. I could not come back with you. <br />
<br />
My love, that night has not ruined us. It has shown to you that what I have been telling you all along is true. I may well have scared you away. You may be polite and stay here for a while and make me feel safe, then you will leave and I shall run after you. I cannot apologise for those clouds that follow me. The sun does not break through for me like it does you. <br />
<br />
Love always,<br />

It flicks behind my eyes; a heavy flamed candle burning the corneas. <br />
I did at one time see the dream come alive before my eyes and that flame bounced, rising and falling into the cosmos. It grasped for the white light of the moon to compliment the gold light of our earthly fires. <br />
Those days were filled with awe but the night has extinguished the bouncing flame; the connection no longer sparks and ignites when we see each others firm countenance, hardened to the obvious pains. <br />
My eyes, no longer, are bordered by love. They have become windows of black leather panes. <br />
Now the flicker of our fire is but a terrible burning that is weaving through my heart and singeing the delicate fruits of my limp organs.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-70127040763501624802010-06-30T18:59:00.001+01:002010-06-30T18:59:40.059+01:00The window frame doesn’t shake with the gentle vibrations of traffic<br />
There is a silence that speaks to us more than the reasoning<br />
As we know, it is easier to convalesce in respite rather than reaction <br />
But the echoes of the stairs will be amplified to extremes<br />
It sounds to me as if you can hear the pumping of my heart from under my<br />
Grief saturated jumper<br />
It jumps from one step to the other, giving weight to the presence of painMeninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-76181303846172362222010-06-28T00:59:00.001+01:002010-06-28T01:06:31.755+01:00I cherish your childlike joy: your face filled with a grin so honest. <br />
I am in these moments forced to realise that I don’t need to take us so seriously. <br />
I can run around in circles without being concerned there is no start or end point. <br />
I may even jump into the middle and create a splash instead of focusing on the sharp edges of square and rectangular partnerships that hinder ease and instead cut and bruise. <br />

The other is a little more cooperative, falling slower and teetering on the edge of reason. <br />

Walk in the socks, walk in the shoes, not so neat, not so perfect. Not so boring.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921073348210631399.post-88307743873213621042010-06-23T00:03:00.000+01:002010-06-23T00:03:38.792+01:00Rested... in placated slumbers<br />
she clung to his arms that lay motionless upon her chest, rising and falling perfectly attuned to her movements. (It was as if those arms were extensions of her own lungs.)<br />
The subtle pulse of his wrist beat against her rib, which encased both his and her hearts.<br />
The beat provided a pattern for her breathing; slow and steady and perfectly mellow. <br />
Her satiated breath was without conscience or concern, everything was slotted comfortably in its place. <br />
In the dawn her breathing would change as they both arose in the smell of dew. This moment was her favourite of all. Pure and gentle, they savoured the welcoming embraces shared between them before daily corruptions.Meninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07240828725263718364noreply@blogger.com3
