aqua

fluid ecstasy,

dripping stars

from my coral cased strands,

rivers tumbling down

from the crevices

in my hands.

two lilies found a home-

one tangled behind my ear,

the other dangling

at my hips,

lapping at the moonlit surface,

dipping in to taste the night.

i swim and breathe

in forbidden air,

the water folds

and finds its way

into my panic fringed nerves

to kiss my fears away.

another moment

and i will fade away

in a whirlpool, forever.

just tonight

i shine

in my watery jewels

with shooting stars

in my heart.

pain

did i tell you

my blues

were a part of your amaranth sky,

a long way back...

when the oceans were still full of hues

and not undercurrents of miserable plastic,

just like your plastic thoughts,

sinking deep under my skin

spreading like a transparent infection,

inflicting invisible pain?

no blood flowed

so you never saw red spilling out of my hands when I wrote.

each letter took one of my blue cells

and morphed it into memory.

your eyes were teal

with a hint of celeste

and i was innocent to believe

i’d heal in your poison tinged vision.

you made me see stars that never were

and when you went away

there was a void in my reality,

a palette of midnight blue

and pale phosphorescence,

with whispers of an indigo crack.
