We're too old now.


Too old to indulge in

partitioned plastic plates

shatter resistant

but molded to hold in

three ounces of fun

per serving.


We've outgrown yesterday's

gaudy voice acting

and crude cartoon lines

washed out, two dimensional

color schemes

and character types, now

redux in high gloss CGI,

300 dpi

1080p

5.1 surrounding

both of our senses.




What's that?

We have three others?


But we've no time

for scented markers

on monochrome pages

Breakfast food no longer

simply sugar and bread

We swath ourselves

with succulent self-importance

tech savvy misanthropy

dolled up in decadent

anonymity

We are too old

to go to a friends house and play.





A list of woes and throes

gives us nothing-

leaves us nowhere

except in thinking

patiently praying

that we may never outgrow

our love for the things

which we've long since outgrown.

Day to day obligations
Keep us apart
But when we reunite
In the night
The heat between us
Drives out the cold
Of the winter
I love him.

I know you
better than you fake it
I know that you are not ok

but the thing that is bothering me...
after all those nights
why are you hiding it?

i loved you to the extent
where i would swear upon myself
if you didn't exist in my life
it would be living hell

you showed me it was mutual
but i don't believe in actions without words
'cause what are actions for
if they support nothing

i continued to love you
to the point where it would hurt
where a little pain
in the heart would spurt

one day all of you vanished
and i was left to wonder
what's to become of us now
without you leaving anything

i can't even explain
how hell it is compared to before
i don't blame you for losing me
i blame you for making me scared

scared to fall in love all over again

you, my first happiness
you, my first interest
you, my first smile
you, my first touch
you, my first interlock
you, my first song
you, my first bloom
you, my first embrace
you, my first love
you, my first sun

you, my first fall
you, my first sorry
you, my first ignorance
you, my first tear
you, my first sorrow
you, my first hatred
you, my first wilt
you, my first death

and i, your last moon
Where were we, do you remember?
The way the lights blurred
I could have sworn we were dreaming
But you were there too, or did I convince you
Were we too strung out to notice the truth
You are the kind of guy that makes me feel
Things, sometimes its nervousness shaking me
Other times its the fact that I don't have to fit my labels, and you can love every part of me, mostly my youth.

They took it away at such a young age, for lust
And I remember every moment of it.
Most of all the feeling of being proud to be ****
Even tho a child has no clue what that means
You just make me forget what I thought ,
And you teach me how it is again
To be free, and smile.
Its not even in the way you kiss me
But the way you protect my innocence
And keep me young.  
My heart has aged a hundred year
Until I met you, now time Stands still
Or it disappears. Like the hour of midnight
That must have been lost in the time
It took for you to convince me
What we even saw in the first place
And for me to open up to you
And feel comfortable not being so confused.
He loves me, he loves me not.
Be as you are
I dont know why
We ever forget
Be azure
Bleed assurance
what you want
said in confidence
No hesitations
Said in burial
Eternity a myth
Fate a must
Penny in a fountain
Perfect is illusion
As is time

Insanity
 Feb 2014 Oliver Twist
Lyla
Venturing into the heart of insanity,
(my mind)
I fear that i will lose myself.
I hear the blood rushing in my head
(Will it ever drown me?)
As its the only sound i hear apart from myself.
Alone with my thoughts,
(Wish me well..)
Maybe this is what i want.
Insanity. Chaos. Something.
