i used to think love was free
when you came to me
but then you had your fill
and aphrodite came back with the bill
How do you tell someone
You'd rather sink to the bottom
Than get in their boat
But it doesn’t need
A purpose to read
The natural structure
Is the mystery

A stanza where two minds melt
Certainly words of comfort and wealth

These thing only matter to us
Catch and ride the purposeful bus
Themes and memes of rolling streams
Sleepwalking the poetical dream

If I could only keep up with the train!
Traveler Tim
I exhausted every moment of my life
scattering seeds
in all bounds and boundary
of my deep-rooted burns,
and now a tangled, torch-lit garden grows.
I looked out at the street,
      hoping for footsteps

coming up the path..

But all I heard was
            therapy sessions..
Cradle song woven upon
a mothers arms,
                        no tears,
      no cries.

Just mothers tears,
         cuddling her baby.

No  fret just stillness,
                        she sings
           her to peace...
I'm happy.
By that I mean:
I want to be happy.
By that I mean:
I'm not happy.
By that I mean:
This isn't what I want.
people don't label my pain
as real as others

but i promise, it's just as lethal

It still hurts, seeing you exist
In this world where nothing happened
The way we wanted it to
