Tomorrow the sun will rise again Such is the inevitable march of time Brief is our time here Especially in this hurried digital age Proof of our existence only buoyed by those who whom are true to us                                                                           as we hold them the closest Even despite the grand shadow of our own self perception The life I've lived, being so full of irony of it's own sort The greatest being that I could never convey to you,                                                                           nor to the world The great fortune I found when I met you Even if I could proclaim to this unworthy world,                                                                            who would take notice? How, when most of us know so little of ourselves,                              much less from a man they've never met                                      from a place they've never heard of                                            about a love they couldn't hope to dream of For her name was Teresa

Her name was carried on an evening breeze
The pain is absolutely unbearable Never enough to smoke, the bowl will never be filled I drink a lot more now Hoping to wash myself out of the bottom of the lowest canyon of my life Afraid Angry So Angry But at who? Bear my soul in a futile yet desperate attempt to reach her humanity I was unwise She made me eat my own heart while she and the man she loves took joy in toying with me Pulling out the last strings of faith and self worth I'm ashamed to admit that I can't stop crying during the smallest hours of the night She did this bereft of any anger or hate towards me You have to be human to be able to feel those emotions

Unbearable Pain
For the time is not mine to keep Impassable mortor keeps me at bay The smell of fear like the waves of high tide crashing upon the rocky shore that was my life My judgment was passed before your words were spoken Oh, my love- how I bleed for you Is that your blood as well? Do you shed for me as well? I have left nothing Proverbial dust in the wind For it is not for everyone to leave their stain upon the play

Untitled
My body is the vessel in which your story shall be known Pages of flesh, written into decay and eventually, the earth My soul, laden with the stains of my own admonishment is where your sins will be laid to bear When the hands approach thrice, vengeance will be so swift When the arm reach up for the trinity, the viscous brutality of my vengeance will be unmatched if not only by it's own depravity and indifference When the clock strikes three, and the darkness of your chambers begin to close in all around you and you hear the whispers of what you already knew It will be in that moment, in the moment that is yours and yours alone that you will know

I am your vessel
What is a memory? What is a thought? Is it the fear of losing the trees to the sky? Is it the darkness inside out? The pain clouds my thoughts, closing in I cannot bleed, cannot hemorrhage Cruel irony runs through my veins now And hate My mind races with the corruption of fear I am no longer me I am no longer you I am If I were the sun and you were the ocean, we could meet at dusk and drink of each other in bliss and warm familiar chaos Will you die to me?

Forgetting
I'd rather lead a life less social than a life of nepotism to the empty masses. A spiritually and existentially empty sail less vessel saying and doing wherever the political climate takes you. My love; you're now part of a proud yet lonely few. Don't despair my beautiful diamond- our time is coming. A Fake foundation cannot hold the weight of a lost society. Common sense cannot be held at bay forever. Stay the course. Weather the storm. I firmly believe this too shall pass and the sun will shine brighter on you than anyone else.

May These Words Find you Well
The sun is setting again This time she's not tired This time is like the time before but different Black The light fades again For good this time? My flowers will wither and die It is not too late A child is received again today But not with the promise of tomorrow Yesterday is spent Tomorrow is now Today is new Again she settles in The moon and her slumber She settles in this time for good But she is not tired

Sunlight Fleeting
It is not tomorrow yet But today Why does she cry? What makes her wail so? Was it me? Should I be punished? The wind breaks on the shore like glass on my memory Sand is forgotten to time like so many martyrs They throw themselves upon the sword of my own paranoia Bleeding lies Again I am besieged surrounded yet alone These context have trapped me so Who are you-you who steadily tip toes through my eyes and inner-most desires? Are you the demon I've been chasing?

Pursuit
What is it worth to you? That moment That day that feeling That last breath of a childhood gone erased? What is it you would give to live again? Your skin perhaps? The eyes in which the world beholden you Or maybe the leg you stand so firm in your own self-righteousness For just one more moment to live again

Cost of Doing Business
Again these words escape me Escape my depths as my lips fly across the keyboard “Release me” Eyes no longer worthy of this world Of this life Of this death What is to become of him? Again; nonsense rattles away as I can hear her breathing Her fluttering heart beats in tune with mine. I can feel her love It's warm Today is just tomorrow when we find it Today is just yesterday when we forget it Today is the first time I've ever seen life Today is the first day I no longer fear death
