Latches
And when darkness crawls through the curls of my lashes,
I hold tight to my bones and close my soul with latches.

ColdPaw
There was frost on the ground
I need not brave the elements
To know
For your tiny paws
Handsome dog's
Little black and pink toes
Wore the temperature to tell.
Wrapping you up close
To me
Bundles of fuzzy warm cloth
Enveloping us together
As I held your cold paws
In my warming palms
To take away your chill
Winter was hard for us both
We hated cold
It made us lazy and pained
Old bones growing old together
And as our breaths became unison
We drifted in and out of dreams
Together and apart
I felt your dream paws running
After something fun to chase
And why not let you dream
Of springtime's squirrel chase?
Were there tiny purple blossoms
An explosion of new growth
Beneath your paws?
I nestled my nose
In your long soft neck fur
A mane of silky white
With large black swaths
Your eyes now
Half opening
In their new blue color
Cataracts like ghosts
Concealed your once dark
Brown, round eyes
Little black eyelashes a flutter.
I pulled you closer
Trying to stop time
And appreciating all these silent moments shared.
My companion, my confidant
My protector so fierce.
Your Papillon-Chihuahua smarts
And sweet loving glances
Comforted me and brought me outside myself, when sometimes
I needed that.
ColdPaw, I shall warm your paws for you until the end of our days.
Loving you is the greatest gift.
As you announce all seasons by walking on my lap.
Now we are warm again, let's slumber a little longer, and let no one disturb these precious moments. Let me just love you.
For Loui Pup Pup, my faithful companion in this world.

Bones of stone,
Skin of paper,
Eyes of jelly,
Teeth of sand,
Nails of glass,
Hair of straw.
Wobble around,
Try to make it to town,
Stumble and fall,
To the Earth
you are bound.
Knees are down,
Bones break skin,
Muscles snap in place,
Tears run down your face. -

... Who Are You?...
Behind the flesh and bones, are you what you think you are?
You are a soul, which can never have a scar...
You are a spirit, which can leap far... And far...
You are those vibrating strings of optimistic guitar...
You are that enthusiastically shining star...
Oh Man! Behind the flesh and bones,
Do you even know who you are...??

I've writing this poem for quite a time. But I finally finished it today.
Note 1: This poem is dedicated to 'Shunsui Kyōraku'.
As I have taken the aspect of the poem from his Bankai's name 'Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū'. Which literally means bones of heavenly blooming madness.
Note 2: Corazón is a Spanish word that means 'Heart'.

The wanderer passes
through the field
That once happened
to be a ground of fiend.
Seeing the decaying dead
on the now quite battle zone
Grief had just clawed
through his soft Corazón.
Not later, but soon
the wanderer gazed upon
The gorgeous heavenly flowers
that had just bloomed.
The heavenly flowers had bloomed
From the bones of the fallen ones.
The wanderer questioned,
"For what had they redeemed?
For what had they given away their lives?"
Astounding the wanderer,
The heavenly flowers smiled and replied,
"As, it would have been impossible
Without them, for us to arrive."

Beautiful girl,
Listen with your eyes,
Carry light in your smile,
Love in your bones,
& power in your
Pretty little skull

I embraced my lonely bones, mostly because no one else wanted to.

Spring Cleaning
Spring arrives, time to clean the skeletons out of your closet.
Because it's eventually going to become time to be honest.
You wait and you wonder, where to bury these bones.
Time to put those bodies back, to whomever they were owed.
You've made sure to take beautiful care of them.
When the time came to finally beat your own drum.
Kept them all dusted off and polished.
While you watch your hopes and dreams become demolished.
You don't know what you'll do after clearing the skeletons from your closet.
You wonder why they're there from time to time, and always wonder the cause of it.
Put up the tombstones and call the church and bury.
Covering all your dark secrets in the dirt while acting all cheery.
You burned up all the bodies and crunched up all the bones.
Because this is the only life that you will ever know.

done
i have picked between
many poisons and i am
surprised that i am not
done.
living not dying always
being bit by life's venom
teeth in skin, bones crunch
and i cannot run, yet i am not
done.

Apart
Apart. Picking myself apart. Pinch by pinch scratch by scratch. I pull apart my flesh until nothing stands but bones.

You
Like a seed buried in lies and watered with saltless tears,
Crooked bones and peeling flesh grow.
A monster, a horror, the truth of your soul
Blossoms into the nightmare
We all had to know.

bones.
her skin was soft, a sinking sun.
her eyes were loved, a tame flame.
yet her bones sunk down, drooping down,
to the thrum of his breath, merged with another's.

battle scars.
his tales were old as time, rust and webs in prime.
her bones were torn and tired, shadows pressing stones.
their love was a dying breath, three words uttered distressed.

Under layers of clothing,
that's who i truly am.
Only skin and bones,
and nothing else.
It scares me to know that,
that's all i can ever be.
Just skin and bones,
no matter how many clothes
of pretence i wear over it.
The pretence that I don't care,
is only to conceal
my weak self,
controlled by the moster,
that is in my mind,
that is ultimately me.

Bones
Standing on earth and stone,
It's you and I alone,
Just flesh and bone.

[ a beautiful danger ]
Call me a wound and I'll hurt you,
Call me a memory and I'll be distant,
Call me a rebel and I'll flow opposite the current,
Call me an ocean and I'll carry your feelings,
Call me home and I'll keep you safe,
Call me a regret and I'll corrode your bones,
Call me Love and I'll be a beautiful danger.

"I dip my pen into my head-
that haunted house of dread.
The floorboards creak, the wind whispers
its secrets to the dead.
The air is stale and the walls rot;
this place that time forgot,
transformed into a house of sin
for creatures God loves not.
Slime under everything I feel,
and grime clings to my heels.
Yet further in, I venture still
to find the ghosts concealed.
I wander through the crooked halls,
the closets seem to call.
I open one, and come undone-
at my feet old bones fall.
They are my bones- the myriad
of bodies that I've had,
decomposing inside myself-
the stench, it drives me mad!
I spread them out and rearrange,
the air begins to change.
Spirits return to skeletons-
the me's that I've estranged.
They scream and shriek. They frighten me
and follow constantly.
I sit and listen to their cries,
meet fear with empathy.
"The world outside is cruel," they yell.
"Humans are worms from Hell!
They used us up, murdered us, spilled
foulness on our pastels."
They yell and bawl with all their might,
lament such heavy plight.
I take my selves into my hands-
with them, I cry tonight...
☠☠ ☠☠ ☠☠
The night is done, day awakens.
I leave the house shaken,
return to earth still clutching bones,
the Truths that I've taken.
I've seen ghosts and communed with them,
and vowed to talk again.
They gift me cartilage each time,
bestow intuition.
I carry these old bones with nerve,
their axioms preserved.
No longer afraid of monsters,
I'll stare them down with verve."

I feel so at peace so immune to the world
Your love is like magic ancient as the mountain stones
The touch of your hand the warmth of your love,
It's like the sun is shining somewhere deep in my bones... -

Doing time
'Time for a break now.'...
....Laughs..
'But I already broke bones?'
And time spent thinking, ain't good for my soul.
'Can't I keep busy? I'm already in hell?'
'No, It's the rules here...
Now back to your cell.
You know where the key is, it's there on the stone and the devil knows your limits,
he's in charge of the show.'
'Ok, ok.'
