You’ve Disappeared like faint footsteps —who’s temporary imprints in the sand quickly fade under the pressures of the sea and of time and of the light bubbling whispers of past failures You’ve Vanished like the moon on a hot, blazing, hateful day scorched with the sun’s ambition of sharing its warmth and hide in the cold comfort of your darkness You’ve Hidden like a magician’s rabbit nervous & deep within a false unknown                                                 (we all know you’re there) standing ovation applause. All that is lost is eventually found, when you return I hope you are received with welcoming arms.                                           (those won’t be mine)

Gone
where is the clarity in my thoughts? the straight lines, in the jungle of scribbles? the uneasy nuances of my ideas push me back and forth until i’m nauseous with self conflicted confusion dizzy, turned around ideas dance & twirl until I **** out actions taken with jumbled conviction and lost intent. where is the clarity in my thoughts?

emerging adulthood.
Your lips, love me fondly   whispering life into the dormant butterflies trapped in the pit falls of my untrusting stomach Your hands touch me lightly, hesitant not to overwhelm but never will I get enough of their warm grasp Your laugh lights a spark in the heart of my forgotten humor bringing happiness to my smile illuminating darkness Your passion will set the world on fire, burning down the wrongs replacing them with your affection powered by past affliction   I pray your lips, your hands, your laugh, your passion… do not forget me in the flames

Playing With Fire
For the first time--in a long time I sit by myself--alone-- and there's no where else I'd rather be Than right here--right now-- With no others company except The solidation of my own divine thoughts And for the first time--in a long time I put myself to bed--alone-- with a smile across my face Utterally, and distinctly at Peace

When did I accept desperation? For anything you'd give your attention your affection Love and tantalizing Touch I crave you excessively

Are we all ******* blind?! How did we all fail to see the apocalypse in it's twisted occurance Detinating life as we know it All I see are Zombies All that's left are zombies! Look there! That girl walking Missing half her life Half dead-trapped no real human left behind her eyes Walking aimless to her desk To her future Look at that zombie over there! Drowning himself in alcohol Killing himself again Just to feel alive Though simultaneously wasting...away.... I better do the same Hide the life so I don't get eaten and zombiefied myself I must survive this apocalypse Trying         To            Survive moving forward & forward & forward I have become a zombie.

Living Apocalypse
Inhales inaudible You exhale   The ghosts that haunt your sleep The terrors that sculpted Your past Your future Breathing in nothing But the knowledge You grasped from the horror You remember -so well Out and not in I-so-la-tion Swallows you as you sleep rocking you into a deep, deep Place of fear of anger but of love For the life you've created Though unbalanced and un-whole Your inhales are inaudible

Breath
no one is around i walk down the streets of a vacant wasteland forgotten, discarded, tattered red cups drag across asphalt with no force pushing them but the tired alcohol stained breath of the wind. this beautiful sunday morning-tainted by the drunken cheers of last night the life-poured, guzzled, shot out of this place death hangs over the streets while a drunken hibernation swallows my "highly esteemed" peers. shattered glass cracks beneath my feet as i follow the pathway to my house; to my successes this place… this is home.

GhostTown
that place… that place where you..don't…know whats right or whats wrong that place where you just are not quite yourself; yet not estranged by a strangeness completely that funk that is what this is do I feel extra or not quite is this excess or insufficiency Do i jump into action abounding with love or stay put for fear of the funk that follows quirky tendencies or supressed emotion? stirring. twisting. explosion of thoughts of none but a barren wasteland that slowly crawls through the excessive chatter that fills me to the brim. is it grim? or a beautiful bounty of raw, ****** toils of the soul blessed, or cursed I Am This Place.

The Funk
your hot breath Consumes my ears my neck, Victim to your tongue Heated Passion with kisses that Burn
