Oh, how beautiful it is That I put my life into your hands. Your fingers wrap around my breath, Creating a beautiful juxtapositional dance. Love and violence, Pleasure and pain. Vulnerability and power, Queer and mundane. Oh, my sweet king, Such an ****** thing.

,***how do you know when (a human is too broken?)*** <•> human too broken? like the light bulb, removal from its fixture, a simple shaking revelation of the tinkling filament spent, something that cannot be repaired, the only option is replacement and that makes you cry the empty box of oatmeal raisin cookies, you find secret’d, hid by you, not to be found by you at the bottom of the kitchen garbage, but box betrayal, by the chartreuse tipped box lid sided peeking upwards, asking, silencing screaming, what did I do to deserve this degrading like the blouse now too tight that it brings stares as the buttons strain, unwelcome attention unintended, you know it but still pretend not to see, for you both once loved that silky guise that so heightened the high tender, the match of your pink rose skin letting, no! making your eyes glisten, like broken filament glass, on the sidewalk, recalling the pleasured admiration, rain remembered from the prior priority of a life consisting of only perfect gifts so mean revert to the poseur question; this is how... remove the human from a fixed place, whimpering-threatened, you may hear clear the crackle cackling  of the innard shards against the misperception of a body intact, even if you do, no repair service you want,  can be found, see it nowhere, is it even anywhere advertised? the body presumed intact is secret’d under a tactile coverlet, holey scupperrd holy cuttered so that the cells and bicuspids, the threads no longer function in a tandem, you keep it in the closet closed, in the back, deep hid, where, when it screams why, it can be safe ignored, because  ‘betrayed’ is no longer a word, in your globe's dictionary, the parental controls activated by you to save your own inner child’s unconstrained confusion, it has been removed so the broken glass, the clothes you dressed each other, if not weep-well, well enough hid, the fit is off, the fit is off, the coverlet ripped so bad and neither cares

He makes me feel like one does sitting under the vast sky on a chilly, autumn night, while rocks incarcerate a warm fire. He protects me and surrounds me, ebbing and flowing through my veins like a drug, All the while teaching me the ways of the world. See, a star will fascinate, stimulate, Force you to wonder. Yet he just suggests it, like a breeze, dropping subtle foot prints in soft but not quite muddy grounds. He is the feeling of snow under your boots as you trek through an overexposed wasteland, and the curiosity that is born into your mind as you see trees and general shrubbery peaking through the white blanket. He is beauty and awe, like a motionless lake reflecting the world it lives in, showing the imperfect perfections of such a home. Love, has never stricken me so weak, and flowers have never smelled as sweet, as my honey turns my world into a delightful treat.

Nature can’t come close, babe.
Hello honey, hello darling. Hello future, hello love. Hello to the life I’ve always dreamed of. Hello handsome, hello sweetie. Hello confidence, hello trust. Hello to my one and only We’ll last until all else is dust. It’s incomprehensible, The way I feel, when I think of you. Happiness flutters through my being, Whenever you do the things you do. Hello smile, hello eyes, Hello laughs, hello hugs, Hello to my amazing guardian angel Sent from above. Hello kisses, hello voice, Hello gentle caresses and sweet love. You are my favorite hello, And I wish to never say goodbye, Love.

The new promise.
Some are ungrateful for life. Some are unappreciative for love. Some attempt to run from the joys, seeking more. Receiving less.

just live
What is a soulmate? A friend of your soul? A sentience to grab some coffee with? It seems everyone has this preconceived notion that a soulmate is the one you must be in love with. I beg to differ. They can be a person you've only ever talked to once. But in that conversation you felt complete. You found and acknowledged pieces of yourself you could only taste. You sort of know this person by just a few exchanges. They are the essence of you. And by getting to know and love someone like this, Maybe you can learn to love yourself.

Two bodies, one soul.
Footsteps follow closely to a steep edge The sound of a shuttering camera echoes Unbeknownst them a fall will pursue Plunging her into an endless abyss She laughs and carelessly trots along her handmade trail Animated eyes flip through scenery The footsteps lead to a ledge over the river She slips. Her body and her heart plummets Desperate arms fling onto a tree, bruising an already bruised wrist. Her heart continues to fall. Once upon a time, she was afraid. Thought that she may never get back up on her own. Yet now, a gentle yet fierce feeling fills her Frees her. She is no longer trapped in the prison of herself Like a phoenix, a once crumbled heart rises from the ashes of a devastating fire, and leaps into the hands of a new keeper.

The fall of a lifetime.
A fire, raging inside the weathered skin of the world People begging to come through, Crawling and digging their way to the surface. Pleading for a voice, yet being picked through and left behind, For the next one is allowed to shine. The loveliest concoction of gunpowder and flame, Just below the surface of a temperate land. Perplexing and contradicting tornadoes savage the mind, Leave only emeralds and a shaky smile. However life must push through all the while. She is the most beautiful bomb.' Unpredictible and clever, Though she is haunted by many a thought, She stands tall and fiercely.

The most beautiful bomb.
I wish I were a tree. I wish I could brace the wind and be brave. I wish I could stand tall and sway in the breeze. Unappreciated unless useful. maybe i am a tree I wish I were a Bomb. I wish I could coerce people into submission. I wish I could have a definitive plan. Destructive and chaotic. maybe i am a bomb I wish I were a bird. I wish I could fly above the clouds freely. I wish I could travel about carelessly. Perpetually running and escaping their problems. maybe i am a bird. maybe i am all of these things, but for the reason i do not wish. seasons come and go, and all things too, maybe i should just wait til Spring.

maybe.
This cold cold institution is wearing me down. Like rushes of winter water eroding the bank. Green leaves and bright flowers beg to remain, but nature denies. Nature is society. Like a gazelle being hunted by a gazelle, in a dry savanna, unknowing of its imminent death, and then is mauled by the reality and cruelty that is natural order. Torture, it is. For me to wake up at seven in the morning to a ¨safe haven¨ Maybe it is a gate to heaven, because Lord knows im scared of dying there.
