The night is cold and bleak is composed of verses

that explore the mysteries of love,
shattered humanity, life, and

a fling

with Death.

I hunger

I hunger for things that have a soul

If you have one, I will eat you…

I know a woman

who, in order to breathe, writes a line or two

of poetry

I also know a man

who dances, naked

in moonlight

with the ghost

of his beloved

I ate them.

I hunger for things that have a soul

and I am starving

Because when I show

the world

a beautiful

red rose

they only

see

the thorns.

I killed myself

I killed myself

a thousand times in fiction so that

I could face

this life

without losing

my Soul.

With her arms crossed

With her arms crossed behind her back trapped in a pillowcase,
she was a candle in the night

Write a poem on me she said and I obeyed, very carefully First, with my lips, then with my tongue, I wrote slowly on her canvas while she held me with her eyes - eyes that spread out like branches touching the biggest stars

More luminous than the evening,
I tore the night to pieces and dipped into her soul
Be gentle she whispered with a sigh,
like a soft flower to the moon while I continued to contemplate the fire,
burning her secrets with my desire

With my lips replete with her kisses and her breaths breaking on my skin to the sound of grace,
she bit my shoulder, and pulled me up from the depths of the earth to the sun blazing in her body

I pressed her cheek against the pillow and watched her melting, with every thrust The sheets, wet and swollen,
wild with dreams

She whimpered, crying tears of the moon - yet she was glowing

We died that night We died that night

when I sank deep into her arms and drowned,
she held my hand to the other side of life.
