19. Canada / / I am one of the some, / and not much different. / Softened by starlights, / howling with the sun, / branded by gentleness. / / queen of unfinished poems / and I'll write - even if it's coming from my own pile of dwellings. Enjoy.
It sounds ridiculous but only I feel productive when I'm doing nothing. Sitting back, just relaxing. Popping blue beans, burning bowls of green. And just thinking. Daydreaming about how things could have been. How things could still be. But how things will probably be. Just close your eyes and let music be your guide. Entire lives constructed and played out in grand fashion. A world so detailed I would rather get lost, And never come back to this travesty of a society, so raw and primal. so human. My world is so beautiful and yet so depressing because it's what ours could be, but never will become. Anything to distract me from this. The 24 year old burnout grinding through school because there aren't many options left. So where will I'll be in 5 years? I wont.

Late night rant.
How can a body bear such longing? Borne on fulfilment, even atoms enclosed in their vast spaces Hide from nothing. I wish for you here Because the air won't turn black this time The air will be the chariot of certainty Crushing the physical structure of the confused So when you leave finally Because of destructions of ambiguity. Know my tears They are nourishment, Softening the ground.

I wish for you (updated)
Civilization moves to conquer all barbarians.

(6w)
sometimes I imagine myself deep in the ventricles of your heart, a small figure planted in flesh, and I gingerly touch the walls, where everything seems so raw, I whisper that I am so sorry, and you absorb my apologies. B u t I am just another echo, a heart murmur, that is exactly what i am, a heart murmur.

trite.
I desire your well being for the reasons that your palms may bestow the unknowable depth for the good. And if I continue any longer I'll take leave of all my senses.

thoughts on his palm
The Nothing doesn't care for riddles or wits The Darkness isn't picky who's embraced in it's grips The Infinite won't mind if you doubt it exists The Endless wants nothing with the scars on your wrists The Untold collective ignorance ends in an abyss The Questions without answers wither on my lips

Ignorance Abyss
Your world is coming apart By design, structure Remember you agreed? Did you really think you could preserve The comfort of your outgrown shell? **How many degrees of confusion can you bear in your mirror world**?

Dismantling the known
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
