It didn't have to be this way...
It never had to be this way...
The crack of Sasuke's fist connecting to Naruto's face echoed so loudly he almost wondered if his own bones had broken simply from the force of such a great sound. His wrist nearly buckled under the pressure and though he would never admit it aloud, the young Uchiha was a bit suprised that it simply hadn't shattered like his other. Too much force, too much power, too much chakra flooded through his body. Maybe even too much hatred.
But hatred was necessary for what he was about to do. Konoha needed to be destroyed. It needed to pay for everything it had done to him and his cla
there are angels combusting
into Lithium Stars and Carbon Dust
from just trying to escape
your tar-black eyes
and deep in the lack of space between us
saints are martyring themselves
over my hope and your potassium chloride kisses
--
you eroded my self control
in Lithium Tides and Carbon clocks
that took my sanity with them
--
i have no rhyme or reason why
so i have to trust clock-work instinct,
that ticks "buried under stars & oceans
& collapsing hearts
you're a good person"
and ill never see it because
im already high on your
potassium-chloride kisses
and my lithium-carbon cocktail
--
i should have never stepped of
the feeling of flight gets me
high on your scent, your breath
escaping in subtle, matched rhythms
to my heart & i cant swallow
the romance of your words
or the depths of your pragmatism
because im already falling
~~~
i forget what it's like
to kiss & touch & utterly drown
in you and all your cryptic words
that set my hands to shaking
and my breath on fire with
the dying embers left
in wake of your absence
but i do remember the curves of your face
and the nuance of syllables in your name
and the feeling of our breath between stars
& car rides & long talks about nothing
(and this feeling of breathlessness vaguely captures
With a gentle flap of his wings, he landed atop the Great Statue; bare feet barely grazing the marble stone as he proclaimed "This city is ours now."
There was an eerie stillness within the emptied city. Rusted and broken metal creaked. The wind howled like a lost, wounded wolf. All inhabitants of the city seemed to continue on, their lives etched eternally into concrete, pavement and walling like ethereal shadows from some unknown time. There was stillness. There was silence.
The bombing of Rio was completely unexpected. Neither the Neo-Soviet Union nor the United Federation of America had considered the move. It just happened. Quick and h
somewhere in the night sky
there's a shattered star
with our names engraved
into its very core
im watching the wind wave over the water
& sometimes i wish your eyes
would wave over mine
then maybe, just for a second, we might forget
what its like to do everything alone.
im drowning in the remnants of our memories
like a sparrow drowning in the ocean
i was meant to fly, but right now
i just want to evolve into something with gills
and live deep in the remains of what we used to be
until i take a turn & devolve back into
a little sparrow,
broken from the start.
if i must fly, then let me fly to the moon
& take shelter among
There's an ocean full of stars
& relics & memories wasting away
behind your Pragmatic Eyes...
im choking on cool breezes and the remnants of your sent
while we discuss god & the origins of the Universe
i tell you i dont believe in god, because if god were real
he wouldn't tease me with just enough of you
to drown in.
all you can think do is laugh, 'cause if i were serious
you might have to learn to swim in those pragmatic eyes of yours
that I can't get enough of.
i tell you something exploded and then here we are
but you're too absorbed in not looking back to care.
...sometimes i wish you'd look back
because you might get a sma
its five in the morning and we're waiting for the sun to rise on our side. ive long forgotten what it feels like to have the morning grasp my face and kiss away the nights painfullly perfect imperfections. the first rays of sun look almost enchanting against what few colors you can muster up in your eyes and im really trying to sustain whats left of them. youve got a look of gray on your face and i wish you knew i could paint it over with blacks and blues and stars and sunsets that just seem to sparkle more when ive swallowed them while youre pressed hard on my lips.

in my starved broken mind, i was wrapped around lithe muscles a gymnist would envy and coiled inside a heart weak enough to not show weakness and strong enough to be broken. my eyes were vomiting stars and i let them fall at your feet with the universe in your hands as we reveled in a silent grappling with gravity.
in my lavishly anguished heart, youve broken open my rib cage and squeezed my lungs til i started to breath. youve spun my world with the songs i taught you to dance to and ive never raved since.
in my crystal gazing soul, we're a pair of worn lives, tattered and remended a thousand times for the sake of breathing, inhaleexhalein
flames dance
refracting your words
like poetic mazes of broken glass
and tempest dreams
---
in my wasted mind
youre shuffling through
a labyrinth of broken english
---
ive had you on my mind
for weeks now
and i cant even write a straight line
because of it
my head is spinning
youve turned the room upside down
without a second thought
---
your blunt callous manner
drives me up the wall
in such a way that
it makes me want to engrave
your name on lillies
and stone
and memory
oh wait
you've already been engraved
burned with ice
deep into my memory
It didn't have to be this way...

one day I will tell my daughter to touch herself
before she ever lets a man do it for her, to learn
her body-secrets and the shape of pleasure. I will
tell her that San Francisco always keeps your heart.
that her skin is a blank canvas, that hair grows,
the value of the right kind of disrespect. that the older
we get, the more we need the people who knew us
when we were young. I will tell my daughter
to give away the secrets that keep her up at night,
and that there is never a wrong time to love someone,
but sometimes a wrong way. I will teach my daughter
to travel without makeup; that sometimes forever means
morning and sometime
