I am a guy who loves writing poetry, stories, and literature of all kind. I love sharing, and I love feedback on my work. / / I try not to write about my own emotions as much as I can, if that makes sense. Instead, I try to interpret the feelings of something completely alien to me, some nameless, shapeless figure who personifies the emotions that have never existed in my own mind. Of course, it doesn't always work, and my own emotions show through. Mostly, though, I just write what comes to mind, because I think that the best poetry already exists unconsciously inside of us. / / I'm not the man in my words / I'm just the man in my mind
It doesn't matter
About the metal in your hips,
The ethanol on your lips.
I didn't notice when you
leaned into me,
breathed on my neck,
And wrapped your arms around my waist
Then tip toed away to kiss his cheek.
I never saw you when you
Lay there, eyes shut, face upon the tiled surface, waiting for the haze to lift,
And you said that you hated me,
But I didn't hear you.
It doesn't matter about the stitches in your heart,
The patches in your skin,
The zippers that run down the
Back of your neck
And opens your mind.
I can't see you falling apart,
But I can't seem to miss
Our pupils touching,
Not that they do
Enough.
Would you believe me
If I said that I didn't care
That you played with my happiness,
Took it to use
And then left it in the alleyway
Next to the broken promises?
That even when you said that this time was the last time,
But you did it again anyway,
I always thought,
In the back of my head,
That if I pulled hard enough,
You might actually get through.
And maybe
Love me.
There was that time,
When I held your hand in mine,
We walked by the shores,
And you held my lips in yours.
Then when the wave crashed,
And the white-wash covered over our heads,
I looked up and smiled, expecting your eyes,
Only to find you were already gone.
You always seem
To slip through my fingers,
Just like those grains of sand.
And now,
It seems,
I've found myself
Alone on this lonesome beach.

Felt tip, well that's no security
Wait back, step up, now it's purity
Laid back love but not in love
You don't wake that finger in your glove
You might stay but leave it all behind
When you leave you know that I'll be fine
I don't see well can't believe in time
I don't treat well, treat me, cheese and wine
I could break but it would be subliminal
Can't exceed the speed, you criminal
Ease and wheeze the black ephemeral
Keep it steep and bleed the hemorrhage
Was it wondered, was it blind
I met the sage and touched the grind
If I peeled or wheeled the mystic sign
I could feed the steed that rind
And it goes
So it goes
There would be a happy ending, so that he knows
She don't know
Arctic breeze that leaves us back towards the snows
World of power, it's the glider
Lizards, snakes and horse back riders
Can't escape a broken riser
Or attract the ****** geyser
Shoot me I have gone insane
Or would it satisfy that brain
To keep the cheap, accept the drain
Or steep the tea and just refrain
Exactly where it's s'posed to be
Excreted, left alone with me
Arguing with time and sea
The mountains crumbled, so did he
The metals rusted, did it matter
Had the lost induced to flatter
It was so, he just fatter
Jumped across and left a splatter
Too bad, too bad, heating scene
Unless the rest are draped in cream
And colored when he wasn't seen
But left behind inside his dream
Where do we go if you wanted to know
The axis is shattered and what does it show?
A flattened existence to where it began
And laid down the judgement with only one hand

Can you turn it down?
Loves on turbo, hearts destruction,
Willing partner needs eruption.
Love is rivers, I might drown.
Can you turn it up?
Souls construction isn't flowing,
Welcome warmth is ever knowing.
Love is wine and you're the cup.
Can you still be more?
Satisfaction guaranteed,
Whether chained or will be freed.
Love is knocking at the door.
Can you have it all?
Handled well but simulated,
Diamond eyes were stimulated.
Love, so handsome, shall it fall.
Can you die tonight?
Left in bliss, and still tuxedoed,
Warm expansions, then I'm vetoed.
Love, or is it loveless flight.

Let me stare for just a little bit longer.
Let me feel my snow globes within yours for just another moment.
Let them touch,
I know you know it's not too much.
I don't stare because I want your **********
Certainly not from lust.
The nature of your figure, the lips sprinkled upon your mouth, the eyes under your eyelashes,
That is not my pleasure.
What I yearn for is behind the face, and it's manifested two fold.
I do look upon you, but I cannot look upon myself,
A pleasure held only by you.
The back of my face, I'd like to know,
My own existence, 180 degrees to my perception,
So different, yet the same.
You might offer the other so easily to me.
If only for a hint of conscious thought propelled at me.
I just want to feel you, and have you feel me back,
A simple act of thought for me is all I ever wanted.

Those words created a translucent fog on my vision
Against which I would judge every misty morning from that moment on
It was warm, but the robins wouldn't play their song
If only I could have known then
Basking in your radiation, I felt simple
Contained within a bottle of lemon juice
Sewn together with white wash threads upon the presentation table
And I felt whole
A lack of lacking that filled my filling
Satisfying the rumination, you could never trip
Haven't lied before, so my thought were undeniable
Still I remained liable
When I was made of sand and toothpicks
Simply molded by circumstance
I was supposed to stand on my own feet
Not wobble upon your stilts
You told me that from the start
But all I wanted was your heart
And all you wanted was my words
For temporary fulfillment
If only I had known then
When did I realize
Unfortunately, I don't know
But the edges of my cloud were still trimmed at your feet
So that you might reflect upon your selfishness and realize I was still there
I try not to disappear
As much as I am able
Since once upon a time I shall have the potion of immortal unity
That only lasts as long as we might
But it would be enough
Not for you
But for me

Too many names to remember the face
Washed by the river of uncertainty
Eye deep in the ritual
Seems too habitual
Nothing my oar does will loosen the tides
Still, it's alleviated by the slight martyrdom of my peers
But my peripheral circuits still see what I try not to
The attachment isn't sufficient, but ignorance certainly is
Enough to calm my blood
Or make it take another route through my heart
But it isn't enough for them
Not when they understand you
And you are lost in the tangled web of labeling
Fleeting images of letters
Won't stay together
Not long enough to extract the meaning
Or distract the context
But they know
And they always will
It can't be resurrected once it's been forgotten
It can't be revived once it has died
Never try
Never again
It can't be revived once it has died

The thought contained within this evil mind
Thought it before the feelings left behind
Now is the time, now is the final one
Did it before but now it must be done
The sky
The earth
The sea
The wind
The life, it starts, the birth, begins
And now, we're left. It seemed so truly right
Take that breath, before we see the night
I don't believe that we've been here before
That time was like it wasn't less but more
And now we find ourselves inside it's thoughts
The evil minds in which we've both been caught
Where do we go
Oh, now where do we go
Where do we go
My mind scream I don't know
The thought contained within my evil mind
Not like the feelings that we left behind
Now is the night, now its our final say
Where do we go, when can we see the day
The life
The world
Is at
Our feet
Don't want, to jump, now it's, so deep
The love we felt, it's left behind
Now that we've fallen into this evil mind.
Where do we go
Oh, I don't know
Where do we go
No, I don't know
Where did it go
Oh, I don't know
Where did it go
This evil mind will know

What if those pink chocolate roads
Led to the answer?
What would it matter
If we melted right there.
It's not so sweet
When you lie on the ground.
What if the roses
Led to more blood?
You know that I've got a few thorns
But what would it matter
If I trimmed my petals
And wilted in the sun?
What if the electrically charged peaches
Opened up your lungs
And made you a sweet
Sugar filled mannequin?
What would it matter?
If your skin was plastic and your eyes dull marbles.
Would I start to love you more
Or the display window in your chest?
If you met with fire at the edge of a cliff
I don't think it would matter
You'd jump and I'd catch you
But whether we fall or not,
Would it matter?

Part 1
If I told you that I'd see you in heaven
Would you believe me, would you believe me?
If I told you we would meet in Elysium
Would you see me? Would you see me?
When my wings broke
And I landed in your arms
I knew I didn't fall from paradise
But into its open palms
Our future's so beautiful
Our passion is strong
Only your voice is suitable
To make my heart belong
See, we don't need the open air on our face
Or the running waters
As long as we have a trace of each other
And never more another
Tonight's not long enough
Tomorrow never will be enough
Only in the blissful ecstasy
Will this moment last
Part 2
We link our lips, our minds and bodies
Tied into each other’s bliss
Never lost a moment
In between every lovely kiss
It should just last forever
Like your blinding beautiful beams
A magic lust of pixies
And their dust from both our dreams
The stars all glare in envy
As we make sweet dazzling love
The moon bows to our passion
As it shines on from above
You know this love can grow
I see it's only begun
Now I'm in Elysium
You are my only sun
I go crazy, I go crazy, every time I look at you
Can't take my eyes off your radiant glow
I feel like I'm dreaming when I hold you in my arms
But it feels so real, and my sun she makes me grow
I'd meet you in heaven, but we're already there
This love that we have we will forever share
And so my sweet Elysium, this dream just must be true
I know my light eruption I will always love just you

I've found myself again in this place,
Alone with you.
Just the rocking bodies of sweat stained Lucifer beating against our chests,
And there you are,
Right next to me,
But I don't find you in my grasp nor in my thoughts.
Only can I live, as I have before, so I try to think
But I can’t help wanting to escape.
And so there we are,
Just me and you.
And the gyrating bodies of adolescent lust lashing out with open fists and closed lips,
But I can't hold you in my arms
Or place your teeth to mine
Because your mouth interlocks so nicely with the world.
Can't I be the world?
Can’t I be the dream or the dream of dreams that never escapes your mind?
I thought I could, but you didn't know.
Here we are,
Just you and me.
And the turbulent manifestation of youth and ignorance on a dance floor,
Clasped by the ever weakening fingers.
It starts to slip into something else,
Something more
And I can't help but try to dive in after it.
But it's so much shallower then when I left my perch.
When I left in search of the one,
Or two,
I was left with zero
We are,
You and me,
The blessed babies of a tormenting world
And all I ever wanted to do was hold you in my arms just a little bit longer.
But the fire was to bright, and your eyes became a window.
The latch was shut, the cloud shone through
And I let myself fall to the glass,
Not knowing whether it could hold me or not.
My life was in its hands.
And it couldn't.
