I slid my bare fingers across the sandy surface, scratching them coarse and raw. The exposed skin on my finger pads now painted strawberry. The rusty bar shuffled beneath my touch and backed away letting sagging arms and weak hands to fall at my side.
A silhouette awaited in the shadows, discreetly rocking from side to side in a nervous twitch. He carried something, wrapped tightly between two hands wound together. His hands are wrapped tight for a reason. Tightened about the object to prevent the surreality of the moment from escaping. To prevent the dream from taking a life of its own and flying away. To prevent the illusion of her beauty from dissolving to a surly mien.
A rose, a box, a letter?
But before we ever saw each other, uncovered by those shadows, our souls had mingled beneath the street lamps. Flitting under the artificial light, dancing with transparent hands entwined, and sailing through the salty air. Fraternizing with all things organic, and then fusing to form the essence of all things hallowed.
That’s how I thought I knew we were meant to be.
But of course that wasn't true.
He stood there fiddling the unknown object in his hand like a child, whispering about hope & faith & auspicious occasions. All of which he dreamed to possess, but never could. “She’ll be here soon, no need for worry.” His murmur trailed melodiously through the street. It wound about poles, under benches, wrapped it’s euphoric hands around pedestrians, and tickled as it reached my waiting ear.
I stepped forward and all our uncertainties collided. His mistrust crashed my skepticism to the ground, and my dubiety sent his suspicion rocketing of to a place of assurance. We listened to the moon shout at our stupidity, and watched as the stars flickered their remorse.
His heavily ringed hand reached for mine. Heat and impatience flooded from his fingers as they stretched ahead. But it wasn’t a hand of apprehension and doubt. It was the hand that caressed its lover. The hand that shunned trepidation. And the hand that healed my contusions.
But his anxious touch only burned my wounded fingers,
As he placed his love in my hands.

monster.
we watched horror movies together in the back room of the shittiest apartment on the west side. the more blood and cheap effects the better you liked them. i was always worried you might be getting ideas. that you might have been too focused on the red and the way it was forced out and how you could replicate in it in full HD.
most would worry about you replicating it on someone else, like the media is forcing down my throat. god dam this world makes me mad sometimes. too busy trying to stop people hurting other people, that they don't notice those hurting themselves.i noticed you. no-one else did though.
i never understood how your heart

monster
"i feel like a monster" -
whispered secrets to a plastic Jesus;
pray for swift, holy justice.
no - Fate smiles. too easy.
so you
swallow it down, let it
burn deep inside,
destroying.
i tasted the fever on your lips
and it was metallic
[gunmetal]
burning quicksilver in your veins,
dripping off your tongue.
so you
waited for it to consume you
like the monster
that it is.
"we're all monsters inside" -
broken revelations in the darkness;
the daylight was too bright
to see our sins by.
i drew the fire out with each kiss
and blew away the smoke:
guilt is like a glass hammer
beating against stone.

How to Make a Monster
How to make a monster, you ask?
Well, it's really quite simple.
To start with you need a typical embryo,
Preserved in a jar of mushroom fluids.
In this order, add five drops of lemon juice,
Half a cup of spite,
A tablespoon of jealousy,
Three quarters of dark night.
Remove half the reason,
Siphon all that's light,
Take away the easy road,
And the sense of what is right.
Pour fire down his throat,
To give him extra fight,
And add a nasty aftertaste,
To keep him from clear sight.
Starve him of affection,
Add a thirst for power,
A good helping of bad temper,
So his enemies will cower,
A dollop of mean spirits,
A sprinkl
