Like the tortise came to
finish last you appeared
During a quandry where
I was already cornered
Looking up into the
hollowed and pale face of
failure, pereptual dissatisfaction
I felt you like the sun
wraps its arms around
a body dripping in frigid
lake water
after a jump into the
cool blue which seemed to
stop time
just so I could reach out to
grab your heart
before it could fall out
I have you now
I've tied you into me
Where the time stopped
our souls got to sit together
for eternity
they would dance into each other
in celebration of our union
they saw the meaning before we did
and we didn't need much time to
notice it too
In this moment
I feel no fear
For the first time
I looked down into
the water and
it's clear

There's a feeling that settles
into the comfortable silence
accompanied by a shared meal
that was too spicy to
finish
sort of like the feeling you get
with a sturdy cat buzzing
in your lap. The warm steam
gathering on the tip of your nose
from a shared hot drink
as you hear the oration of
an equally warm book
taunting us to
laugh
deep in our bellies

Vibrations turn into
eclectic sounds
A symphony that plays
feebly in the tangles of
my clouded mind
There are scarce moments
in which I can hear clarity
Am able to separate the
clutter of instruments and
settle into my peace
most of the time I
hear just an overwhelming
chaotic unnerving
wrenching rattle of noises
make it stop
My peace comes when
I see glimpses of humanity
Kindness that comes from
a precious resource
human selflessness
be kind to me
I can be your joy

There was once a time where
I felt so strongly
Within me was an eagerness
cradled by a fire that only
inexperience could kindle
I plunged blindly into
the depths of feeling
unaware that death lied ahead
but o the death did come
with it's menacing smoky
pain. Paralyzed me like a shock,
electricity unexpected and cold
Left me dumped in the stagnant
waters of struck-down lovers
who hadn't quite learned yet
Here I float
face down and
all the wiser

an unfamiliar place
filled with darkened
people with minds that
seem to understand so
differently than I or you
preoccupied with
how short her dress was or
if she danced too much or
if she had a sip of alcohol or
if she'll ever find a husband
what about him? I wonder
but anyways it can't be much better
in a society that propagates
male privilege in the form of
a different set of accepted
social standards
No matter how familiar
or unfamiliar the place
I am followed by this
****** UP
petty judgment which
shackles me with guilt
But when I look up
and see the natural beauty
which sees no standards
I scream out in gratitude
and the guilt evaporates
I am free

In a dark leech infested
swamp I found you yet again
haunting me behind the
cage that is my eyelashes
I find no peace within
my own darkness
The sacredness of my solitary
mind has been corrupted by
the demons which have
infested the remnants of
some flesh I once loved
In the swamp I am
choked
and
thrown
and
******
and
drowned
I feel it all but am paralyzed
by the curl of your lips
which seem to conceal a
glimmer of hope

The smell of stale cigarettes and
the moons reflection off a damp street
Somewhere in Europe
Dead, hopeless with
beggars staggering along alleyways
You are lost like those beggars
yet wish to be in their place
i'm stuck here
Darling,
nobody's holding you down

Simply
a
tiny
insignificant
vapid
speck
in
a
world
full
of
stars
of course I don't matter to you

is there a word
for that feeling
where you know
it shouldn't be there
but you let it
sit inside you
because the sting
reminds you
of love

the universe has a
wonderfully sadistic
sense of humor
it brings to you
the unexpected at
inconvenient times
drags dead mice
onto the white
rug of your existence
and looks up
at you with
innocent eyes
and all you can do
is clean the mess
and ignore the stain
