I wonder if I’ll ever know,
Who I really am.

I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME
I like to say
your name
when you're
not here
turn you
into sound
conjure you out of
thin air
so that you appear
before me
dressed in sound
only
memory sketching in
the rest of you
as if sound
was just an outline
and love
colours you in
adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.
"Hello you..!"
and there you are
as present
as present
can be.
I like to say
your name
when you're
not there.

"It is never too late to be
what you might have been."

Like fireflies, they dance
around my head, teasing,
promising resolution.
I can't catch them,
too quick for my heavy hands.
Movement on my fingertips,
but the light dims just as fast.
Frustration closes my eyes.
Defeat sweeps my mind clean.
...
My eyes snap open,
The light blinding,
and finally,
pen can meet paper.

you gentle soul
smooth creature
the one who loves through grace
and moves unapologetically
i love you especially

you dip, you turn, you smudge,
but yet you seem still and desolate, vibrant colours from your reflection, smothered by the disease of life,
it injects itself into everyone but,
people know not of its presence;
you seem to be the only one.

Strangeness is what's still keeping me alive
And making me happy.

When we read
We live a thousand lives;
When we write,
We relive our own.

A zip runs from my forehead to my bellybutton
Pull it down
step out
fresh and new and clean
"you ruined me," I say at the sobbing sick-stained fat
thrown on the bathroom floor
For all She's done
you still can't see Her beauty.
