I’m laying
Down on
A mount
Of Asian
Jasmines,
Then suddenly,
I was floating
in space,
But somehow,
In some way,
My lungs inflated,
And I exhaled
What I had
Left of life
Into the stars,
The cosmos
Held me
In their arms,
An embrace
Very needed
Yesterday’s ago,
I sink deep
Into the feeling
Of being loved,
And I cry
My soul
Out back
Into the living,
My bones
Root into
Empty space,
A never ending
Search for soil,
So lost,
In search,
Always in search,
this just
Doesn’t seem
Like a place
To rest.

An endless battle with melancholy

If I die and heaven does exist,
I’ll coward behind the golden
Gates that await patiently, and
when god asks me to repent for
my sins,

I won’t beg for forgiveness,
Instead I will cry your name
In hopes to see you again,
in all your beauty and glory,
with a smile

that cuts through Ice and fire
and stone and iron, and
a voice that echoes through
Everything that’s good or bad ,
even after the many

Moons and many suns that I’ve had
The pleasure to feel upon my skin,
I wonder where your feet have left
Footprints, or where your lips
Have kissed, or has your back

Gotten caressed and scratched,
Are you being loved like
You deserve to be loved, reassured,
Taken out and being put on a pedestal,
I miss you like my lungs miss fresh air,

Or like the moon misses the stars
On rainy days, or like a black coffee
Hoping for sugar or milk,
My bones ache every time
You are casually mentioned,

Because time has healed
The wounds but it
Hasn’t let me
Forget.

As beautiful as the flowers I get to see.

Do you
look up
From your
work as much
As I do
when I
just need
To get another
look at you,
It’s a straight
rush of dopamine
To be able to
Place my eyes
Upon your
Curves that
Like hibiscus
Flowers
Let butterflies
Rest upon
The petals that
Droop down
After a day
Of rain.

I Shall Give Up Now

but i am a tree;
and despite it all,
my root will find a way

I need a reason.

I’m lost in the ever changing,
A cycle of life that everyone
Seems to go through eventually,

I stopped at the tracks too early,
And have been shown the harsh
Reality just before the curtains closes,

I’m left in the dark,
With too much time to think,
With too much life to live,

It has been so long the shadows
Are starting to move in between
The non existent and below my feet,

Leaving paper trails of horrid things,
Love poems, books written by people
Who share a sentiment, and cigarette buds

That change with how much money
I have in my pockets, I wish they
Would start a conversation,

Scare me off my chair and linger
Too long upon my shoulders,
I’m in dire need of a friend,

Maybe a foe, a reason to keep
Going, to claw myself out
And find myself sunbathing

Across blue skies, sky gaze at
The stars that were once gods,
Enjoy a sip of whatever is available,

Because it doesn’t matter,
It never has mattered.

I just need a hug

Everything and everyone
Seem to be so far away
Lately
