Puckered lips. 'How should I move' and 'where should she meet me' Forth on. And I don't. And she won't. Unconventional. We're ****** love. Smitten. Frost-struck fools. Your hand didn't find mine when I lost my footing, And you won't understand why people don't come here, The place where none should stand to fall. No response. Unkept, godless silence; pray, pray, I am prey. That was it, wasn't it? An exclamation point to a run-off sentence; we refused. She'll pray to the gods We'll later become And I'll never sip on something pristine as Lavender tea lemonade. She said the stars converse as we do. Shining. Laughing. Slowly dying. I'll go to your back, then your head to my chest. Hearing you: softening Jabs to whispers. There, a heavy light settled along the edge Of our spot, our unencumbered field of obsidian And crafted blades of grass. Of all the things I can be, I can't be the last to go.

Litost (2/365)
I threaded the lyrics of my soul's last song with a string of your actions. My dear, you've muted me.

My Dear, You've Muted Me
The indecisive grey is a casualty of the black and white war. Hope loves to play. She hides her essence in the smiles of strangers. Approach her, end the game. Then share what's been found with the time spent seeking. Absolute Objectivity does not exist. Fed selfishness, become consumed. Starve selfishness, become sated.

Before I Turn 20
Humility sets the stage for learning And wisdom gained, through acts of earning. No role forced, none strung to play. No certain applause, none forced to stay. No knowledge will steady a wavering hand. No strength to those with a dependent stand. No yearning for truth demands concerning When humility sets the stage for learning.

All the World
Your retreat is cowardly, to his self-serving 'effort'. Never forget, I let go so you could grow your own.

Regret & Repeat (20W)
Where's the edge in your rhyme schemes? No wedge between my time and my themes. You make cents while you don't make sense, play dense when you mistake tense. In my defense, I expend to no end, at no expense. Hide intense behind offense, a generic's scend is too immense. Son of sin, son of suns and runes. Father of win, father of puns and tunes.

On My Rap **** (Exhibit A)
Never judge a book by its cover, but always a man by his penmanship.

Here's to the Future Kids (Lesson #1)
Toss them into the pit! That babbling **** who twitches on the side of the local gas station, who talks as if he had company! The girl with obvious scars across her thighs and arms, it's her fault for not seeking help; she does this to herself! Freak! who writes poetry and speaks with words that force me to pick up effort and a dictionary! ***** he is not a man, not even to his lover, he makes her feel respected and on equal plane! he even fights for gay rights, for the animals near-extinct! Let the helpless and the helpful, the hopeless and the hopeful suffer, not by each other, but by themselves. And we, with years of practice, of earned ignorance can enjoy the scene from the tops of our immoral high horses.

Colosseum
I think, often. Maybe too often. I think you're scared of me. I think you're skeptical of the good in things. And up until you met me, I know you've had every reason to be. I think we're all monsters, and that humanity is history's great facade. I think we're all scrambling to find salvation. And I think I've found mine in pen strokes dedicated to you. I think, I think, I think... And with you no longer by my side, I always will think.

Dear ______
When someone you love begs you to leave. Creating a tsunami with the skips of a pebble. The second before every mistake. The seconds within every moment. The second after every made-memory. Empty chairs at empty tables. The realization that we're all sets of stories. How to justify wrinkles underneath the eyes. A ***** The most valuable good.
