Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;My dear,<br /> Find what you love and let it kill you.<br /> Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.<br /> Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.<br /> For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it&rsquo;s much better to be killed by a lover.


She slowly vanished

Into the air
A billion little particles
But I don't know where

I screamed out in warning
But I stopped myself
Mid-sentence
I stopped myself from mourning
Though I haven't seen her since

Sometimes she appears in my mind
Her silence gets louder
Her blood gets browner
As I lose track of time

I follow her down through the orange forest
Secrets, whispers, disconnected
Sighs
Emanate a never-ending chorus
She leads me to the bridge as I start to cry

She doesn't turn around
Does she know I'm here?
She jumps into a sea, doesn't make
A sound
Just like that I watch her disappear

Her clothes, once white
Float to the surface of the water
Now a deep brown
And just like they
I have forgotten what I
Call her


The author's comments:

This poem is about about religion and spiritualty. I wrote it to be very open to interpretation because the woman described in the poem represents everything I believe in and so would be interpretted differently by everyone based on personal beliefs and views.
