A Metaphor For Passion

my words are a broken.artform
elequent songs bereft of melody and substance
raw.pressure grind and holistic
scream-spatter kisses.

they touch moons and murder silent stars;
flow ebon 'neath innocent raptures
wander rapine through the romance of your verse
mannikin.suffocation and stop.dot heartbeats
and you know I won't say sorry.

this does not mean I'm not somehow a
poet
it does not mean I am somehow short of
humanity
but rather I am too full
of conflicting.fierce.passions
thatdontleaveroomtobreathe.

I know that I am alive
I know that I am poignant as is
all jumbled.soul-machina that
flutters on iron wings.

but were I to embellish poetically
my letter.after asphyxiating letter

my
words
would
not
burn
you
to
cinders,

my heart would not
beat

Second stanza was my favorite. Everything was so fluid, good rhythm. Breath taking, even. Great write.
