First and foremost, I want to be clear, I do hope that is alright? But when it comes to matters of the heart I do not believe in love at first sight. I find the whole concept ridiculous A lie for those with empty mind, I just simply cannot believe That fate could be so perfectly timed. So ignore my pounding heart Like you would a naughty child And when my knees go weak, It is not because you smiled. When I catch you looking My mouth and throat run dry. Don't try to tell me it is love Because with me, that ******* won't fly. I do not believe in love at first sight. I cannot say it enough. The only question that troubles me, Is what is this if it is not love?

Untitled III
I remember being lost, being distraught, being sad. I remember grieving. I remember hope, pride, Elation And the birth of my niece. I remember the cold and wet, The old faces as well as the new. The music, the wind in my hair And the oil on his jeans. I remember the taste of champagne and marshmallows, The warmth from the fire. I remember traveling, Our first date, Good food And the gentle pressure Of your lips On mine.

Memories.
Sometimes I think I died; Unmoving, unblinking, unfeeling. Poison sits in my veins. It doesn't flow, it preserves me. A grinning death mask Hides what rots inside. Empty mind, still heart. Unaware of those that mourn what I once was, Unable to comprehend. Hair grows, hours fade. Yes, sometimes I think I died. I'm just waiting to be Laid to rest.

Untitled II.
Sometimes I can feel my brain Stretching and screaming To get out. It wants to hop off the Meat wagon And go on an adventure Of it's own.

Meat Wagon.
When I think of you You’re the ideal idea You’re everything I need But nothing I think I want When I try to sleep And imagine you breathing beside me I think of affection and humor You’re a balm to soothe Not a love to consume We are not in love or lust There is no burning need Just patience, comfort Body heat for a security blanket Our hands do not fit together Not two halves of a whole We’re broken pieces Odd socks and lost pen tops We don’t match but we suffice You don’t fill the empty parts of me Which gives me time with myself You’re the ideal idea The half smile on a dull day I have no unrequited love No heartache Only the knowledge what perhaps Just maybe I’m not dead after all

Ideal Idea.
Battered boots Old torn tights The way she moves She refracts the light She will crawl inside you Barely five foot in height Smile dripping in sarcasm A rainbow child of the night She smells faintly of cigarettes And someone you know A halo of dark hair Secured with a bow She watches and waits For a heart filled with woe She cheers whilst she jeers My twisted gasoline rainbow

Gasoline Rainbow.
When I was three And my mother brushed my hair She parted it carefully And braided it equally. Two fat plaits Hung as even as my stare. When I was nine And the hairbrush was my foe Wild curls entwined Personality defined. Hair tangling Faster than it could grow. When I was fifteen And hair hit the salon floor I just wanted to be seen So dyed it pink, blue and green. Hair chopped short Little girl no more. Now I'm twenty-three No longer in the nest My parting is messy And my braids escapee. A hairy reminder That mother knows best.

A Hairy Reminder.
Tragedy rips through you like fire And ***** all the oxygen from the room. Lungs wheeze. Cling to the earth, crawl forward. There is no escape from the flames. Sorrow consumes you, Leaving charred remains. Blackened and fragile. The slightest touch, Crumbles to ash. Hope hangs in the air around you. A breeze that scatters ash To the ether. Air that inflates. Oxygen that rejuvenates. It's the first breath After being trapped in a fire.

Happy Birthday Levi, I hope you enjoy your day. You deserve to be felt up, in each and every single way. I haven't got you a present But if you join me when no one is looking, I will put on something saucy And give you a good...Hug.

A Birthday Poem.
Into a bug a drawing pin Secured to collection of sorts A neat inscription lies beneath Latin, commonly known as, caught.
