I want to shout out in your ear
- without breaking your eardrum -
I want to tell it to every passer by
- who knows not who you are -
I want to whisper it to the dust
- that's settled on everything I have -
I want to scream it into this river
- that's fish's first person narrator -
I want to review it to the passing trains
- in iambic meter marching, a monologue of minds -
I want to claim it to the desert
- let all the cacti know -
I'm constantly falling deeper
-with every word you say -
Into you.

I can see you shying your sight away
Slowly shutting door, after door,
After door. I am standing farther
And farther – with every word I type
You look even smaller
And smaller. The grass was always greener
Much greener – over the rainbow,
Where you once took me, a long
Very long time ago.

And in those seldom moments
When you delve in lucidity
I get - in the blink of an eye-
A less than brief glimpse
To the real you.
You spark like lightening
When your truth surfaces.
Your eyes light up
Traces of tiredness dissipate
Smile creeps back.
You stand there
Naked.
You stand there
Despite the world
Covered in only the purest
Most profound of your thoughts
And feelings.
You stand there
Alone
But not afraid.
Shouting from the rooftop of your ego
All about who you are
And what you are about.
You stand there
Staring people in the eye
Confessing things that needn’t be confessed.
You stand there
Breathing it all in
Hoping and dreaming things
You never dared envision before…
You stand there
A you most different than you
A you few know
A you I missed
A you that is not… You.

There's something very
Poetic
In the soles of my shoes.
In the way my feet
walk about.
Ready to run
Ready to stop
And fall on my knees.
The way that I walk:
Doubting my ankles,
Tip-toe-ing on stepping-stones
Of fear.
The terror of hearing
The cracks in the earth
And seeing my souls slipping
Through the crevices
of my heart.
There's something almost
Dramatic
In the peaks of the mountains
That rise inside me.
Where the souls have been digging for gold
But found only ashes
Found only dirt.
The tingle of abyssal loneliness
Spreading to the tips of my toes,
Transcending the existential essence
of my being.

i'm stuck
at a loss
for words
on the edge of my imagination
there's calmness beyond.
it's appeasing
a moment of silence
in the midst of my chaos
i'm burning out slowly
a meteorite chasing its planet
the course is already set
i hesitate on the brink
of my imagination
... or ...

Darkness hits I go through my metastasis,
My metamorphosis complete
Transcending Dante's circles
Into this limbo of a night
I'm alight.

there are some eyes
there, beyond the shade
counting the hairs
on the back of my hoodie
i turn my back
to the eyes in the shade
i'm moody
this corridor keeps stretching
(A, B, C, D, ..., E...FINALLee)
the small, round, blank fisheyes
see me passing like a .MOV
old time B&W, i move fast
away from the belly of the beast
the one who takes me high and low
decorated with more
bigger, bulging, blank eyes
and a reflection of myself:
we don't see eye to eye
with each-other
so i shut close mine
tell me,
would you go up
in the belly of the beast with me
and tell me what my other self
is doing
while i'm not watching?

when sky-eyed girl left your bed, this morning
she left no clouds behind. no rain.
she folded up her pj's
- which were, in fact, yours -
she drank her coffee black
while no one flied around the sun
when sky-eyed girl let you hold her, last night
you felt the infinity of the universe. again.
she opened her mouth
- ever so slightly -
just to kiss yours
while overhead the albatross hanged motionless upon the air
when sky-eyed girl grabbed your hand, at 4:15 a.m.
you transcended this world. savagely.
she ran through your body
- like a good line of fishscale -
almost equating the speed of light
while I am you and what I see is me

You've ruined it all
Into my arms
I was holding you
Into my arms
When you told me
Into my arms
I was a mistake
Into my arms
you cried
Into my arms
You asked who played that song
Into my arms
The skies in your eyes fell
Into my arms.
