Just live with me in the moment
For once don’t think of the future
Or what tomorrow will bring
Let go of your inhibitions
And let your desires take wing

I know you better than myself
I know you’ll work your fingers to the bone
But life is far too short
So let it go and just relax
Don’t make me a last resort

Come with me and take my hand
I’ll show you things you’ve long forgotten
Things we discovered together
When the world was far more simplier
And every second was a new adventure

The point I’m trying to make
Is you’re letting life pass you bye
And though I love you with all my heart
I can’t take living with a zombie
So make a choice, don’t let this tear us apart

You enter this mysterious world
with trepidation..
and some hesitation
but you're the hero of your own story
seeking glory
there's no turning back now
you must accept your fate
what will you gather
or, learn on your journey
this Odyssey of adventures--
while on all of your travels?
There will be dragons to slay
and, some kind of transformation--
morphing you into a Prince or Princess
much to your dismay
but you're up for the ride
because there's really no place to hide..
You must go on
at all cost
because you're the hero of your own story
you get to write how you win
do you go down in flames riddled with sin?
There's always a fork in the road
for all the seeds you have sewn
A rite of passage--
you get to choose...
savage.
sinner...
or, saint.

deep down lies

everything i tried to hide.

buried away,

tucked away for another day

to be put on display

for such a dismal array

a hot cup of coffee
late night snuggling
freshly cooked pasta
warm bread sticks
snowflakes falling onto your tongue
fresh breaths showing in the bitter air
footprints in snow
brand new hoodies
and the best thing,

*you
She put her hair up,
All night I imagined its fall,
Breathlessly waiting.
These past few nights
I've found myself
Wide awake
Half naked
On my bed
Sheets between
My body
And the air that compacts
Itself into this box
Of a room

All of this
Because of you

I cannot go to sleep
The wiring of
My nerves
Tingling and twitching
Underneath this
Summer skin
That longs for the
Weekends

All of this
Because of you

And on the nights
Where there is no air
Between my body
And yours
My breathing hitched
My moans all muttered
Is when I get my sleep

All of this
Because of you

It is such a risk
To find a slumber
Deep enough
To hold me under
When all I want
Is you

All of this
Because of you
