and desire? (poemoff 2)

MAKE UP YOUR MIND

there are no secrets
deeper than the ones
hidden in my subconscious.

snowflakes mix with wine spilled.
one droplet is shaped like a heart.
it cracks as you step over to me
and stand on the shifting snow.
(my blood red heart oozing with
cold is shattered in a moment. you did not know
i could be so easily broken.) my

brain thinks in haiku
syllables stretched thinner than
gold thread of smiles.

it's a good time that's not going to last
so i cling to every second
with the vicelike grip of heaven
'til my muscles weaken
and i let go and
flutter to the stars.

The title of this poem comes from "AND NIGHTS I WISH TO BE UN-REMEMBERED" by Zack.
