38/M/CT I've been writing for a long time, but very new to sharing. Thanks for stopping by!
Water dripping from leaves and trees kept the rain falling for hours after it left the sky I haven’t an alibi against loving you My spring and summer lover, drifting into fall History sticks between our teeth You are a seed in my heart Everything borrowed against time for time to take back and all I can hope for is one last moment with everything

Everything Borrowed
I took and benzo to let my mind go down a long stream of silver lined sentiments in autumn. A curative nature codependent with offerings of self-reliance. The leash leading the leader. I was ever so young only once, and these days we’re adrift on years of waiting for something better. The raindrops didn’t touch my face thanks to covered porches. We are grateful and undone in the same sentence.

Benzo
Soon but not today A mantra I leave tied around my neck for safe keeping The knot is double tied for permanence or I forgot how to tie any other types of knots There are big waves in the Sound and bigger still in Nazaré If I could surf, I don’t think I’d want to My swimming was left underdeveloped like the way this place used to look a few centuries back My brain has grown accustomed to melancholy and strokes it like a Cheshire Cat on its lap The cat looks for Alice in the mouse traps because he’s lazy He knows the story’s ending soon, but not today

Soon but Not Today
Intermittent tapping on the table Intermittent bed frame against the wall I tried to call, but my thumbs went numb in the rain Intermittent fasting Intermittent feasting Intermittent fighting Intermittent I love you A song bird working hard to sing a sweet song on a cold day Intermittent clothes strewn across the floor Intermittent slammed doors A heart skipped its beat to draw out the sentence Preoccupied with permanence in an ever changing world

Intermittence
Life is an entanglement with love as the primary measure. The recipe was lost back when you had to print things, bound to you like the atoms forming the helium in our stars, happy to infinitely embrace until gravity pushes concave and rips the scripture to pieces

Entanglements
Soon but not today A mantra I leave tied around my neck   for safe keeping The knot is double tied for permanence or I forgot how to tie any other types of knots There are big waves in the Sound   and bigger still in Nazaré If I could surf, I don’t think I’d want to My swimming was left underdeveloped like   the way this place used to look a few centuries back My brain has grown accustomed to melancholy   and strokes it like a Cheshire Cat on its lap The cat looks for Alice in the mouse traps   because he’s lazy He knows the story’s ending soon,    but not today
