25/Cisgender Male/Sydney, Australia A future word cruncher exploring his feelings
The sun comes up each morning Every time the same Yet it is so beautiful Waves roar almost on repeat Only subtle are the differences Though it easily draws me in Clouds drift in the sky at such a slow pace Having little care for shape or form But can entertain humans for generations Why am I so worried?

Catch me a body Give me a vessel One that I can deposit in for future savings My safety net My last call My first account for the day

Seed
Tonight I realized I wouldn’t hear your voice again Your tongue will speak but It’s heart shall be of another There will be no more familiarity No backdoors to my soul All because of a choice First of yours, now mine I must choose To avoid temptation Keeping my door shut And avoid standing by yours There is more that I feel But I won’t deposit more in you Not you

My Choice
Love, four letters. How many words can be four letters? Four letters to lead woman pregnant. Four letters short of proud, regretted. Four letter adjective miracle to earth. Four letters added to she, rebirth. The numbers game got lame it's gain was vain and plain insane no stain on Name. 1, like the ultimate golf swing. 1, second beating the buzzer. 1, master stroke, Picasso. 1, up beat frown on Model. Need my pain be so dramatic? Why oh soul, are you downcast within me. Rejoice and delight in salvation.

Four Letter Struggle
11 comes 12, then 1 for a new rotation a fresh start too close to previous victory "This is what you're made for ! Only you predict the sun" yet here is the heresy the sun will only be measured as a cup is filled to brim and when each value is tested and weighed small gold surpasses tin so when a watch serves its one purpose who determines its value? Prisoners can serve one purpose as leaders do the same What makes them separate? What dictates gain?

A picture paints a thousand words. Why won’t you stop shouting? I’m already close. My stimulus can’t take it.

Pictures
I could ascribe to you few things. Few metaphors represent your wondrous making. If I were to compare you to the roaring waves, far reaching sourced from still ocean depths, like the conviction of your voice, I would miss your true joy at growing from fault. If I were to compare you to the setting sun, sharing the glory of its day on painted sky, like the skill of your hand, I would miss the grounded feet with which you walk If I were to compare you to the intricacies of a watch, it’s beautiful movement formed by delicate layers, like the way you put one foot in front of the other, I would miss your collaborative tick. If I do not tell you how wonderful you are I will miss you. If I do not listen to your dream then it will sour the sleep. If I do not shout I will miss your echo. I hope to soon rid any other miss* from this paper, as our Ruler has more notches for us to mature. Now I will be happy right here, sitting across from, lying next to, on the other side of your screen.

Memory of my Heart
4 times the earth orbited the sun yet only once did you stop to see your shadow. 87,600 times it allowed you to second guess but you didn’t face it, just watched me sink right in. Sinking sands of committed hands brought pressure but no diamonds. No light to revolve around. Now I’m ticked off thinking this was a waste of my time. Not much of a leap, yeah?

Used
The simple exertion of air from lungs, Caged deep within spirit. I was familiar with a voice. It’s presence drove the beat of my heart, It’s restraints deeming me human, Keeping me at level, Brought low. I used to be familiar with this voice. I could shout, I could sing, I could even show restraint, Now I’ll chose. I will be familiar with you
