*Unless You Love Her*
High pitched, the musical shriek of your voice causes my ears to bleed. A river forms, an ocean follows. Fall to the floor and here I lie hollow. You’ve killed me, don’t you see the blood was life and now it’s gone. Death must be your name you're what I’ve wanted all along.

I Won’t Pretend I Understand.
Mind lost, me following suit: the land is barren. The click of my pen is all I can hear. Indistinguishably mundane shrubs and patches of itchy grass are all I can see. So I walk—no I run, trying to escape a wasteland only feeding me desire. I run, and I stop. Hanging above my head is a beacon of hope. A fragile gardenia, white and pure hanging from a bushel a thousand feet tall. I reach my arms up to the gods. I fail. I am inspired, so I sit, and I write. Night falls, then dies. Light returns, morning birds following suit. A crimson monster flies above me. It stops. It sees my flower. He loves my flower. He mocks my inability, snickering at my bare, ugly back, wingless and base. Aware of its power he takes my flower. Lost in a field I give in to the hour. ~fin

Invidiae
warm and pretty, rose red, beauty flowing through your head cold and ugly, violet blue, flowing thoughts I have of you. silk and fragile, pearly white, suit that grasps your body tight, rough and brittle, deathly black, heart that loves and dies and cracks. long cascading, godly gold, laces Aphrodite molds, short and haunting, monstrous green, envy thieves my dignity. deep and endless, drowning blue, they glance at me, my stare ensues, shallow empty, ***** brown, suit that hides a soul unfound.

You mesmerize With eyes like the Sun; But blind me, just the same. For now I'm left in darkness, clueless In Oblivion. The world is now Invisible. So You are all I see; And You are all I can. So more I stare in Pain & Wonder How you hypnotize My mind. Now I stare and wonder how I'm happy Being blind.

Her smile will shame the moonlight; her mind will shame it’s gravity.

They scream my name but I am deaf to all except my own crooked brain.

It's Loud In Here
Oh My God I fell and now I’m falling crashing drowning in a sea of love I hope I never see the light of day upon your face again blinds always I hope I in a sky of lust breathing floating rising am now a God Oh My I Rose

The Paradox of Melissa Bonnet (II)
I wanna write about your everything. I wanna write about your eyes, and the way they look at me. I wanna write about your smile, and the way I melt in the warmth of its radiance. I wanna write about your freckles and how even though they are only ten and only a peripheral, negligible shade darker than your skin they make my total of things I think are beautiful about you ten more than the end of infinity. But you see, my Dear, I do not want to write about the fact that my ideas are a spectrum running from every color to white in comparison to your blind opinion and to me your beliefs are nothing but entertaining myths I would tell to my children at night. I do not want to write about your glare, and the way that I freeze in its presence. I do not want to write about your leer, and the way you look at me. I do not want to write about your anything.

The Paradox of Melissa Bonnet
This  is all too  radical. I'm  all fired up like a catapult. Don't know why I try  to recreate the place and the time I think I'm losing my  Mind.
