And the sun crackles
the horizon into dust
while the moon glides
slyly forward to
taste the faded daylight.
the horizon into dust

consecrate
authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love

A Letter of Understanding
Dear Heart,
Let us come to an understanding.
Welcome to your wake up call.
You are a fool. I'm sorry, but it is true.
Life isn't a fairy tale.
You knew this, always.
There is no such thing as happy endings.
The frog you wanted to kissed… he'd still be a frog.
And that prince?
He was perfect- sweet, smooth talking, a dream come true.
Until you found out he was only charming; not sincere.
Sitting on the steps as the dawn falls around you, waiting for him like in the movies?
Honey, he's already moving on. Those tail lights you see driving away in your mind's eye?
Yeah, they're his.
Never trust love; never think for a minute it's true.

Storm
STORM
You threaten, "You won't do it."
Lightning flashes across my mind:
The storm is coming.
Fearful tears blur my vision.
Lightning flashes across my mind,
Filling me with defiance.
Angry tears blur my vision.
Rain pelts down around us,
Filling me with defiance.
Your threats are harmless, like wisps of cloud.
Rain pelts down around us.
Thunder fills your voice, but
Your threats are harmless, like the rain.
You watch storm clouds gather in my eyes.
Thunder fills your voice, but
I turn away unafraid.
You watch storm clouds gather overhead.
You say, "You won't do it."
I walk away, unafraid:
The storm is coming.

But sunset is beautiful too.
Edit 12/5/13: Switched the words "slyly" and "glides." I like this a lot better. Sounds more...elegant to me, if you will.
