Skeletons

There is moonlight
in this tragedy
like metal bones against the storm.

Press your lips to mine 
and I taste your sin, 
your lies that scratch
and claw the back of my throat
with this disease of love.

It is a curse of unsettled whispers, 
and I dare stay afloat, 
bathing with your demons.

Come into the shadow box. 
Rest with me
your oblivion,
your lovelorn soul,
and let our skeletons dance together.

50% off Art Sale | Sophie's Fight Against Cancer - Surgery Needed

I spent days trying to find the words to write this, feeling overwhelmed by all the clouds in my mind. There were times when I deleted everything, only to start over again. It's difficult to say things eloquently when emotion makes you carry every feeling so heavily. It's hard to put yourself out there when all you can do is ask for help. But it's even harder feeling like all of these moments might be our last so I have to try.  Gratitude defies simple explanation but I want to, again, say thank you. Your support for my sweet Sophie has been extraordinary, and is a reminder that even in dark moments light is found in the kindness of others. 🤍 I'm still running my sale to raise funds - all original art is 50% off.
