Faustina Marie

A mother's love
Wraps around you like the wind,
Invisible, incomprehensible, and inescapable-
Not that you would want to escape
...

Lovely, lovely, lovely;
They say that you are lovely

I see the sparkling in your eyes
...

I once went to a recital
For Spoken Word Poetry

A young man and woman
...

A room full of water droplets
Waiting to be changed

Transparent little canvases
...

You're the tug at my lips
That starts the smile,
You set fireflies dancing on my skin
Lighting up my night,
...

Waiting for the gun to go off
The bell to sound
The light to flash:
Waiting for my life to start
...

A thousand beads of water
Are shattered where I stand,
Half from my own eyes
...

I know I can't turn back to my old crutch
It's borne the weight that I didn't think I could
For longer than it needed to
...

Love used to seem silly,
But now I believe
It is our purpose
...

Touch, taste:
Electricity, sugar

It's wholesome,
...

Contemplating your love
Kindling your passion,
Made the rest of the world dissolve
...

Do you scream
And thrash
And beat your chest
And sob on the inside?
...

Seven shards of glass
That spin and twist and
Score my body
...

Sifted flour in clouds around my feet
Clinging to every crevice

The chilling wind pinches my cheeks pink
...

I spent the summer wrapped up
Safe in my cocoon and itching in my skin
Patiently waiting out the dark
For the new day
...

Second doesn't sound nearly as special
As first

But you're a world more important to me.
There are scars on my hands
...

I stand untouched
by flames and clubs
But the horror rakes my throat,
The fires are far away
...

Sparks in your finger tips,
Melodies on your tongue,
warmth

Fire hooks down in my core
...

Sharp words can't hurt me now

Your jabs and edges
Fall
...

Fast, fast, faster
What harm could there be?
I know this road
Like the back of my hand
...
