December 2015: Best Forthcoming Releases

Imagine this: It's Friday, December 4th, the start of the holiday season, and the forthcoming tracks from electronic pop to chill house artists have just been released this morning. From the electro beats of CHVRCHES and the smooth melodies of Foxes, to the '80s guitar strums of Duran Duran and the chilling vocals of Bill…

Little Drinks

We all inhale poison to feel a rush, Addictions come in different colors: Blacked out or dark blue from depression Crimson red flowing off your skin Clouds flooding of contemplation - And who can forget the rainbow swirls of bipolar? Hearts close choose who we love, We used to snort cinnamon off the ocean's back…

Dark the Sky

Dark the sky Fills And darkly Spills Dark the drip Drops Silently down And dark my mouth Falls Dark the ground And down the ground Fills Silently down.

The Sun Always Runs

I still wake up in the morning and remember things that I shouldn't, Like my 19th Birthday, And the 90-pound body that nearly crumbled me. You offered Birthday Cake to me and said, "Praise Jesus For Loving..." I asked what Jesus loves and you said you couldn't remember. I finished the sentence by adding "the…

Conditional Love

What the eye does not see the heart does not grieve for... But when words come out, it will always hurt more. I soon learned that love is not repeating "I love you." I've claimed the outwardly sane, how beautiful I am. Buying what a person has sold you - Making love a product of…

Overwhelmed

So in depth, time away feels even longer. November comes and we wait for the rain, the winter Wind blowing my skin cold. Calm as the ground I am, absent limitations make everything even stronger. Uninvited for the third time, second-hand smoking feels even better Than inhaling the real thing. The distance is discouraging yet…

Untitled

Am I more a body than a mind, more a mind than a feeling, more a feeling than an experience, more an experience than a future? At times, I am all doubt and sometimes all peace. There are moments I live for and minutes I live for him. I live for next week and the…

Letters Written at Jefferson Port, New York

Darling, Although anything can happen Nothing has happened. The sea isn't young anymore. The sea is the face of God Without miracles or absolute rage Or stilled hope. Still, I have my eyes. I am surprised to see That the waves are still going on. I have made it this far, 18 years, And I…

Daydreaming

In dreams My breasts lie down in air The same dream goes on. Like some foolish French toy My body has been rebuilt My eyes have been redeemed. The same delicate set, Their faces as uninvolved. I sleep in an elastic case You're moving, belly gentle as water, Rolling over my hips and filling empty…
