Canadian 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.

Dreams of the Pretend Reality
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.

Turn It
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.

Eyes in the Dim Yellow Light
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

Love Potion
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

What's Your Name?
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

Evil Mind
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?

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

Elysium
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.
