save me

she's an addict for dramatics,
wishing each wreck was her own,
so that he'll come back to
untangle the messes she’s made.
each thrill, each mistake holds
the possibility
of seeing him again,
of being carried away,
of being saved.
so she steps into oncoming traffic,
swims under crushing tides,
flies with broken wings,
always waiting for deliverance.
danger is free and easy,
but rescue holds no guarantees.
still she tests fate,
waiting bound in ropes
tied by her own hands
as the train charges,
rushing full speed.
all she can do is pray,
hoping that
underneath,
theres someone
worth
saving.

war of the worlds

two armies march into doom
not knowing what fate loomed,
of a violent fight lacking art,
of battles raging in the heart,
of a war dying to consume.

two sides ready for the attack,
each to slash, to push back.
shouts roared from the inside.
one beat solemnly shouted,
"adhere to reason, not doubt!"
passionate was the reply,
"embrace emotions to stay alive!"

so the fierce campaign endured,
with clashing like angry tides
and yet, no ground procured,
no arrest for the rancor inside.
every struggle dragged on
as fire exchanged everlong.

but as quickly as it started,
the fighting arrested in my heart
for a voice shot straight into my ears,
right in rhythm with falling tears,
and robbed my arms and fears.

what did the silence impart?
the beginning of a new start
or of some restless truce,
preparing to save the accused
from carrying a guilty heart
but maybe,
just maybe
yet another war is to be seen




at the end of you and me.

volcano

fiery words
erupt
from your lips,
to spill forth,
dripping,
on those tensions that
tightly entangle us.
they melt my resistance,
leaving liquid questions
no longer dormant.

hands ignite nerves;
you shake me, sending tremors
to envelope our struggle.
oh, these flashing eyes capture
my mouth,
suddenly too hot and dry,
dry like ash
and apathy
and
empty of a reply.

when the dust settles and
all is said and done,
i'm left frozen and hardened,
just grey,
grey just like pompeii's
final goodbye.
