simmer
Lord
As I’m washed clean by your blood
Please wash my ways as well
Reside within me
Belittle my desires
Let
Your
Love
Encapture my whole being
Leave no room for worldly interests  
I humbly beg O God
Please

Cry
You are not alone

I'll listen until your tears give out

You're safe and sound

I swear that I won't let down

What's hurting you

I feel it too

I mean it when I say

When you cry

I cry with you

the blood drips from my fingers
meets the blood on his palm
i hear the voice that whispers
behold- here i am

don’t
 touch me.
not because
  i break,
but because
  i forget
    where i end.


your hand
  doesn’t hurt.
but it
    shifts
  the lines
    between skin
      and silence.


i want
 to be
  held,
    but not taken.

i want
     the warmth
      without the aftersound.


when you
  touch,
    i disappear
      into the outline
        of your want.


i reach back
  not to stop
    but to
      delay.

to fold
  the moment
    before it
      becomes
        mine.


touch me
  but only
    as question.

never
  as name.

before the sun explodes
on the sky line
can you
look in my eyes,

and tell me
your middle name.

and before the stars collapse
in the prairies
can you
dance with me,

give me
some peace of mind.

Poetry should  be taught —
But it's better to be tried.

Poetry can be taught;
But it's better to be lived!
Do you agree?
You said
You said each day I'm loving you less.
You just don't know(don't know)
I'm trying to love you more.
More than you might know.

I go out of my way to prove it.
Shocked that you don't see it.
That I'm trying to love you more.

Flowers, I give to you.
A sweet poem I write to you.
Even try to spend more time with you.
But still, you question every single thing.

I just know.
I'm trying to love you more.
But you are making it hard to keep trying.
Am I not there when you're crying.

I just know
I just know
I'm trying to love you more.
"Hey, God, why has my life been such a disaster?"

"Are you judging it by your failures or your achievements?"
I sat,
spliff lit like a tiny sun in my hand,
and looked up.

To the stars,
to the void,
to the hush that hums behind silence.

And I asked —

In all of this,
this chaos and order,
this pain and pulse…

Am I not all that?

Wasn’t I born of stars?
A flicker from the great ignition,
dressed in skin,
asking questions fire once whispered to stone?

I’m not watching the universe —
I’m remembering it.
Living it.
I am it.

And you —
you reading this —
you are too.
Written while ****** and staring at the stars — a reminder that we’re not in the universe, we are the universe remembering itself. Nothing more, nothing less. Vazago thoughts.

If you come back to
find me dead, it's just because
I see what you meant
I won't
but I wish I would.
