Aphelion

Aphelion, 8 days ago (edited 8 days ago) to poetry

May the
Vespers
By the
Moonlight
Sung
Still linger
In the
Morning sun
And the
Whispers of
This love
Become a
Psalm

My every breath
Interrogates
The stars
To find meaning
In the scars

Your grandmother’s prayers are still protecting you. (1983)

Aphelion, 11 days ago to poetry

You tried
To break
My spine
Repeatedly
Because
You never
Had one.

Aphelion, 11 days ago to poetry

I’ll still
Carry the
Light
Even if it
Means
Eating
Flames.

Aphelion, 12 days ago to poetry

Until our sun
Swells out of
Main sequence
Swallowing the
Earth whole.
Until the heat
Death of the
Universe,
The firmament
Erased.
How deep,
My love,
Is eternity?
On the other
Side of which
I will still
Recognize
Your face.

If I am to be
Broken,
Let me be
Broken so
That I have a
Kaleidoscopic
View of the stars

Aphelion, 14 days ago to poetry

Like atoms,
We will
Never touch,
Only haunt
The periphery
Each to the
Other,
Until the light
Goes out.

“Red wine and sleeping pills help me get back to your arms”

Aphelion, 16 days ago to poetry

In the space between
Dream and awake
You dissipate
And I coalesce
Less sure of my
Being real
Without you.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 17 days ago to poetry

You bloom within me
Such a beautiful terror
Garden of secrets

Aphelion, 19 days ago to poetry

You can only
walk through a
minefield
so long before
you become the
inevitable
explosion.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 19 days ago to poetry

Your absence
So complete
It voids the songs
In my throat
Until I choke,
And frightens
My blood into
Retreat.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 21 days ago to poetry

Your strange
Malediction
Brought this
Blade of desire
To my chest,
And I fall upon it
Laughing.

Guess which skull is my favorite

Aphelion, 23 days ago to poetry

I woke with
The words
In my throat,
That old language
Of river rushing
Over stone
To the weeping
Sea between
Us.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 26 days ago to poetry

Your breath
A hymn to
Gods of my
Veins and stars
And things
Without names
That wait
In the dark.
How my heart
Begs to hear
It quicken.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 26 days ago to poetry

The damned
Breaths in these
Oubliette lungs
Sting, and I can’t
Speak, my heart
A frightened
Captive of
Guillotined
Dreams.

#Poetry

Aphelion, 26 days ago to poetry

In death
My bones
Will whisper
To the soil
Better poetry
Than I could
Ever write
In life.

The feds RE: me when there’s a tickle monster on the loose

Aphelion, 27 days ago to music

“You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything”

I call on Altair,
Beseech Deneb,
Implore Vega
To surround me
With the warmth
Of you while
I sleep.

Aphelion, 1 month ago to poetry

My body,
A sarcophagus
For dead stars,
and I’m still
Convinced
The sky won’t
Welcome me
Home.
