If you were the sky and I were the sea.
If you were the sky / Then I'd be the sea / And when you shined bright

Almond Eyes.
Come spring, she leaped across the grassy dune, / Beaming with sheer joy as she hummed a halcyon tune. / Her beauteous almond eyes- the biggest, the brightest.

A road with no obstacles
Damaged people are dangerous because they know how to survive, / And if you've never been damaged you don't know how it feels to be alive, / See struggle is the sauce that gives success its flavour,

The difference between actions and habits, / is often measured by the person you're asking. / One bump, one line, one half ounce . . .

Opia
Opia. Noun. The ambiguous intensity of looking into someone's eyes, which can fell simultaneously invasive and vulnerable. / As you lie in my arms, watching the television, you don't notice that my undivided attention is focused on you. Something I've been dreaming of for weeks, and it's finally come true. Even better, from your angle, you can't see me staring into your eyes, so I don't feel the nervous compulsion to turn away. Whether directly or not, I could drink in your eyes with mine, for hours, and they would be among the best hours of my life. / Then there's the other hand, held tightly by trepidation. I love the prospect of your eyes staring into mine, but it's not without its fears. I'm afraid you'll see all the pain and fears that I've spent the past seven years working to overcome. I'm afraid you'll see all the insecurity and doubts I have about myself. I'm afraid you'll see all the words that I long to whisper in your ear, but can't, because I'm terrified of scaring you away. I'm afraid you won't like the fact that, behind these eyes lies only pictures and thoughts of you. But most of all, I'm afraid that, unlike me, who loves every detail, and lives for moments like these, you won't love the things you see. I long for the day when you stare happily into my eyes, but I'm frightened that you won't enjoy the secrets they reveal.

Incest Is Best
Grandpa sits in his favorite chair, / Spots his granddaughter and starts to stare, / Whips out his dick and starts to stroke,

Stillborn
These poems do not live: it's a sad diagnosis. / They grew their toes and fingers well enough, / Their little foreheads bulged with concentration.

Last Words
I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus / With tigery stripes, and a face on it / Round as the moon, to stare up.
