Success.
Once bitten
I stumble headfirst into the nothingness that beckons with
candy-painted lips
somewhere on the fringes of reality.
A storm’s coming
and if you look closely
the Prada-tinted wastrel who summons the torrent
looks nothing like me

Contrast:
I loved you once.
Now I don’t.
Your sharp edges assaulted my restraint
and we moved forward
too much alike to be so different.
My bright green coat against your dark grey sky

My aubade to us:
the pain that tears with each breath
a new scar born to bear the weight
of missing you

Nudged from hibernation
the parched pavement
an angry, concrete beast
sheds its winter coat
stretches beneath the breeze

I want you to know that
even when the wind howls
harshly
icily
loudly
and I am alone on a street corner
regretting my existence
I won’t wonder where you are
what you’re doing
who you’re with
if you’re cold
rocked by the gusts.
I won’t

Once
when we were young
when the day was long and the
stars fell in sheets
your smile
crooked and sly
tasting of honey
reminded me of summer

Isn’t that meta? Who of us is not a work in progress, truly? And while I’ve blogged about such things in the past I’m being quite literal here – this website is a work in progress. Why? Because I decided that rather than trying to maintain two blogs with constantly growing and evolving content, that I would mash them together. And because I’m just learning WordPress.
For the time being, I’ll be using this lovely, pre-built template/design while trying to figure out how to craft my own, more personalized one. Will I be successful? Possibly no, but I’ll give up trying! In the meantime, please feel free to browse some archived (and admittedly infrequent) posts, and I’ll get to work updating as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Shannon
