i'm tiptoeing around the fine lines
holding my breath, silently
my fingers trace the boundaries
i am too close for comfort
circling the forbidden with my fingertips
i am so close to falling in love with you
in the sand, with a stick
you draw a line to keep us apart
but the sun burns too strong
to keep me from you
i test the water with my feet
too hot, too cold; just right
i am so close to falling in love with you

Detached from the tree and
momentarily from the world;
what does the leaf witness?
One already so dead, dry, devoid;
is resentful?
One would think not.
One does not need resentment.
One falling leaf needs not,
the cries of man and his children below.
One falling leaf needs not,
the chirping fowl above.
Detached from limb and life and
momentarily the world;
One needs only
a longer eternity not to need.

Languid prickly pear.
Ashen, voracious sky lay waste.
bruise Earth.
Prickly languid pear.
Hold fast against the wilted branch.
Thank the tree for its regard;
the limb that decayed the least.
O' how my will hangs
as I do above the death
who brought us this rot
Pear, languid and prickly.
Tenacious pride claws and bites
at morbid despair and lonesome longing;
neither victorious.
Ashen sky dust and burn the peel
Languid pear.
Pain felt from
the dying of the limb that had more than
you in the end
Resentment tucked between the anguish.
Who brought us this rot?
O' how this will fades
unable to deliver
the cut that will end
The branch snaps.
Languid.
World devoid;
the will of which persists.

Sugar of the island;
crystalline.
Seclude thyself from
the fingers of the men of The World.
Birds of flight;
softened against the earth; hardened against the sky.
Avoid rest beneath
the head of the men of The World.
Fresh water of the brook;
serene.
Bubble, toil, and rush away from
The mouths of the men of The World.
Trees of the forest;
magnanimous.
Stand tenacious before the frailty of them;
fortify the earth as it is gouged by the men of The World.
Mountains that challenge the heavens;
stoic.
Hold thyself between them
the men, and The World.
Salt-water of the sea;
viscous.
Run thyself down the gullet
of the men of The World.
Cattle of the fields;
naive.
Hold thy tongue and stomach;
do not slave to the men of The World.
Fangs of the exiled hunters;
voracious.
Bare thy teeth against them;
consume the meat of the men of The World.
Children of men;
ambiguous.
Remain at play; thy memory will wither of
the men of The World.
Men of The World;
insolent; gluttonous.
Sit idle and fat;
thy follies shall decay beneath the history of The World.

*Rights are make believe
All can be taken from you
Life owes you nothing*

It has become night, the most dangerous time.
When everything seems to come out and try to push you into the dark part of your mind.
The thoughts you push away come out.
You struggle falling asleep.
So, you turn on the radio but the song him and you listened to comes on and you start crying.
You remember everything.
You are not safe at night time.
You stay awake for as long as you can, until you have become exhausted and your eyes slowly start closing.
Your final thought is, I hope my dreams don't torture me.
