What is a needle?
Eyes believe it to be
a small steel apparatus
with an eye for thread.
Ears deem it
a sound
barely audible
when dropped.
But a needle is not a sound
nor is it defined by the fall that causes the sound.
It is not used for sewing.
A needle is the Empire State Building
a prodigious emblem
to marvel the might of men.
A magnetic guide when the North Star is not visible
to guide the lost.
A crystal to be a beacon
when there is only darkness.
I can be your needle.
Scream,
thrash a thousand blows into me.
She strikes me as wind
torrents through my desires.
Please bluster by.
She manipulates my hot, chained urges;
I lust for her so.
Is it a lie?
She watches them from afar
As they go into fits of laughter from things that she could not begin to comprehend,
She used to be that way
Free of corruption
Unscathed form the jaws of the world.
Seated on a dejected bench
Tainted by surreptitious wounds,
She observes them
Attempting to drown out the shadows surrounding her
Never quite succeeding,
But for a moment
She swears apathy is attained.
On occasion she inquires where her companion is
For no one is ever utterly unaccompanied,
Yet anyone can be wholly abandoned.
But maybe she is mistaken,
For He was unaided,
Bearing a weight only He could haul.
For this moment
She merely
Her tiny feet make a noise that only someone with superb hearing could hear on the off-white linoleum flooring of the kitchen. Her three-year-old hands could barely feel the edge of the countertops, as the top of her curly blonde head reached several significant inches beneath them. She was very aware that it was past her bed time, but she couldn't help but be awake. She reached the edge of the kitchen and noticed that the tall, dark door of the basement was ajar. She could see lights dancing from it's opening. She maneuvered it open with her finger tips and slid inside. Tip-toeing, she moved to the third stair below the doorway.

Eyes meet
A fleeting moment of equilibrium
But one which is never discovered
Unless you are trained to look.
Aching cardiac muscle
Pulsates beneath layered flesh
Yet the beating is never heard,
Never noticed, but the constant pain remains.
Syllables formed voluptuously from lips
Never completely questioning commitment
But commitment is given nonetheless.
Endless cycle of confusion,
Questioning and receiving answers
That are only met with more confusion.
Could it be lust?
Lust would occupy me with desire,
Easily dismissible and not as confusing.
Could it be love?
It is painful, and certain aspects could be considered fulfille

Is it a lie?
the rain hits the roof
with a steady, sure rhythm,
a song of sadness.
It reminds me of my fears,
dark shadows, angry, unfarmiliar faces,
temporarily fillls my holes,
my empty spaces,
with dirty water.
It is relentless
I am overflowing
but the rain cannot fill me up,
because it always drains out.
Evaporates.
Left empty again.
I am oblivious to everything.
Being empty, I think,
Is not so bad,
when you've never been full.
