21/F "Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood." / -George Orwell, 1984
She is a mother to be She is man’s abiding greed She is birthing misery Directed by he Wild bird with an empty nest Wings beating at her breast It makes no difference With state’s net ensnaring she

Empty Nest
Put me in Adam's place between A lonely garden of barren bliss And my love in the abyss. I'd eat from the palm of her hand And lick her forbidden fruit clean. No gift could tie me to this land But my shameful baby. By my God, I'd gladly go banned. Only need the blessing of my baby. When you've already bit into sin, There'd be nothing else to do, But look satan's snake in the eyes, grin, And greet the original fall with wide open arms. All's well as long as I'm with you. Towards hell's fires, I'd crawl. Swim through the flames of the pyres. No death I couldn't desire, As long as I'm with you.

As Long as I'm with You
Put me in Adam's place between The lonely grove of sweet bliss Or her love in the abyss I'll lick the forbidden fruit clean Eat from the palm of her hand No gift to tie me to this land But my shameful baby By my God, I'll go banned Only blessed by my baby When she's already gone to sin There'd be nothing else to do But look in snake's eyes and grin And take the original fall All's well as long as I have you Towards hell's fire, I'd crawl Swim through the flames of the pyres Sleep upside down with the liars All for my baby's love in the fire

Forbidden Fruit
Between lonely grove of sweet bliss And love in the abyss I’d eat the fruit from her hand I’d turn the tide on promised land Go nowhere without my woman I find my heaven in her kiss I’d greet hell gladly for her sin Swim with flames of funeral pyres Take in the hurricane and grin Sleep upside down with the liars All for my love’s sweet fire

Why Adam Ate the Apple
The wound was wet Your skin was salt You felt at fault just under fleeing threat The night we met I've not left yet Caught in this field where I can't forget You begged a kiss I tore away Circling prey, hear my vulture hiss The claws I miss Your beak's sharp bliss Feed on rusted pain, the end of this The death of me The time I haunt My flesh torn gaunt, I won't fly towards free Keep pecking debris The sickness in me I trace it back, to that night's last plea

Vultures
My heart sings of your's. The heart so fickle as to chose me **** Kindness, she is so nice! The blue and red jewels of her rings smoke In the windows, the mirrors Are filling with smiles. What is so real as the cry of a child? A rabbit's cry may be wilder But it has no soul. Sugar can cure everything, so Kindness says. Sugar is a necessary intake, Its crystals a little poultice. O kindness, kindness Sweetly picking up pieces! My Japanese silks, desperate butterflies, May be pinned any minute, anesthetized. And here you come, with a cup of tea Wreathed in steam. The blood jet is poetry, There is no stopping it. You hand me two children, two roses.

I have a man Trapped in my web Kind in his ways I wish to cocoon him Within gentle thread That will tug at his legs And tie him to me

Remember when you told me you thought you were incapable of loving someone or even liking them in an emotionally romantic way? Did u mean that? Srry I know we haven’t talked in a while and this is kinda out of the blue but i realized i feel the same way it’s like i try to connect with someone on that level, that intimate level, where i try to let them in enough to where i feel like they can really see me, and then i just hit a wall but i feel like i’m always working towards that connection. you know? like everyone wants to be seen. but it’s stupid because every time i get close enough to that vulnerable visibility i can’t bare to be around that person anymore. every bit of my body revolts and i have to get away from anyone who could possibly see me. i have to get as far away as possible as fast as possible and i always thought it was just a case of the wrong person that they weren’t the right one the one who would make me feel comfortable enough and the next one i picked would be better but it’s never like that and maybe it’s not the other person maybe they’re just doing and feeling what two people who are romantically involved should do and should feel maybe i’m in the wrong like i don’t think i can love someone because being close to people makes me feel disgusted with myself anyways what i’m saying is if u do feel like that i think i get it

I want to always sleep beneath the weight Of your soul. I want to never have the knowledge of being naked. I want to run without breathing. I want to greet the sea and the sea’s mother, Space. I want a mouth full of mountain wind. I want you to feel that i am just as beautiful and fleeting. If the wind has the advantage of existing through everything and with nothing, I want to step across fall leaves and not make a sound. I want to welcome you home, without you feeling the strangeness of my presence. I want to exist with you And when apart miss you. I want to lose myself In low-hanging and unmoving fog. I want to lose My physical form and have you never miss it. I want to be the smoke in the fog. I want to lose my vessel With infinite possibility of folding in And with infinite possibility of expanding out. I want the freedom of infinite and invisible of movement. I want my nerves to enclose around you. I want to feel every inch of you. And I want you to be oblivious to my touch. I want to be the moon you see in the pitch of night. I want to be the crescent and the whole. I want to be your everything and nothing. I want to be the stillness in a clear pool of water, But not the mirror. I do not want to have an image. I do not want to be the tree. I do not want to be the book or the fading picture. I want to be the roots from which they came. In our next life I want to be bygone air, inhaled and shaped in your lungs.

Ellis holding freedom ain’t what it seems but you were full of such imaginative things passing in the hallways all the vagrants stopped to whisper Say that girl’s going to live inside an american dream pen and paper wind set to sweep her out to sea at ten And so she believed them she made up a name for herself and set sail to dock there is nothing as free as a blank page but just before her name could hit the wave a man came along, said he knew all about the land of the brave And when he looked at her, she never felt so seen he felt all of her and still had himself to gain and in ship’s night they’d stare up at the empty sky dreaming up his life Said he’d take her to the city let the lights fill her sky teach her the maps he’d memorize And so she believed him going around the streets she hid behind him did away with herself and gained a half hearted love and for a time half can be enough it’s always that way when you’ve never had love to start But it’s so hard to be in love when you’re the only one to lose themselves lose your american dreams in sacrifice to the real thing what an unimaginable fate So the girl grows old built his house and his home and never did write all her pen paper dreams but at least she had half a heart even if it wasn’t hers i guess ellis holding freedom ain’t what it seems
