Luce Darwin

I got my share of serendipity
that day I found you.

This dalliance
...

Sometimes I think I am psychotic
and possibly I am.
The ground is breathing,
skies are shimmering
...

Leaving me things, here and there
things only you; my loyal mind-reader
Could possibly know I love
And that is how I know
...

I've thought of dying,
Of what dying may be like;
This is not new;
I've come to a conclusion;
...

When you are young
Your life is condensed
Your grandmother is drinking out of a mug
Your mother is on the phone
...

Live near the ocean
I can taste the salt
In the air around me
Sometimes at night
...

I am 60% the ocean,
the terrible and alluring,
the flowing and rising, sinking;
we, together, are pulled by the moon;
...

I don't like the sun,
that it doesn't hide my face,
so I hide in my dark closet
until it is night again,
...

I am smoldering
In some invisible fire
I am scratching at my clothes
Trying to tear through my chest
...

I'm looking for something
to destroy myself with,
only before I can
I'm waiting for my favorite constellation
...

There is a place
Somewhere
A place no one can go
It was built by me
...

I listen to the song you do
and think that possibly
it's playing in your brain
at the same time.
...

I could draw the trees
by your house I know them
and love them so well.
...

I wonder at what hour you sleep
so that I could fall asleep according
to when you close your eyes,
when you might sigh,
...

I mourn Eden everyday
because somewhere between there
and here,
we have forgotten that love
...

The soft screams return
Left with only one last choice
But chose not to see
...

Add another year
Admire the white opal
That he never sees
...

With no pinch of fear
The lightning strike speaks wonders
In saddened blue eyes
...

You'll be better off without me darling
but if you aren't,
surely I will save you.

If the that angel with dark hair
...

In the Gothic cathedrals
painfully jutting through the air,
I am reminded of your soul,
which exists to me so painfully
...
