POETRY???????????

it has never been sweeter

blistered limbs and bloodied vengeance

you keep me close, you keep me in sin

a kiss like the name inside of my thigh

and with my ecstasy, I remember hell

untitled

your name rests on the back of my tongue

swallow it down, take my heart along

the birth of athene could never compare

you are my stardust, my unfinished song

untitled

i'm having a hard time pretending the sweat on my palm is from the warmth of your hand against mine. God knows I'd kill for it; He's making a dog out of me. i mourn for the skin i peel from my lips will never feel your touch. it's selfish and ugly how I take good things for granted. i love you

untitled

seems better the barrel of the gun 

than the tip of the boot

it's so cold down south without you

old poetry gifted to past lovers

(quotations, whiskey down my throat)

you're sweeter than the salt beneath my nails

and bite harder than savanna november 

untitled

bone nude to the elbow

boiling pot heretic 

to debate my love will leave us scarred

[unfinished]

1999

slicing wrists

claiming crucifixion

burning lips

searching for salvation

your demons are actually

pretty smoking hot

if you don't mind the novelty 

mercy is a pardon; grace is a gift

take my suffering as Your throne

Heaven forbid my love have limits

the tongue sins when Her name is called

no Mary, no Grace. archangel above

salt struck; the spine straightens
