Lost Indeed
I am tired.
I just want want to watch TV.
And write poems.
I want to lay by the sea.
And love someone more than me.

I wanna cry.
But I have no tears.
I want to dance.
But I have no ears.

But then, you came along.
And I realized that we are both sinners of the same kind.
Singers to the same song.
Both are pieces of a broken mind.

I tried to bury the hurt
deep, deep inside.
But it returns to haunt me,
because I buried it alive.

our lips will never meet
nor our fingers intertwine
and so bless my dreams
for indulging what's not mine

Why do I crave
Your attention
This late at night
All I need
Is your breath
In mine
To stay alive

can i tell you a secret?
some days, when the sky is its darkest hue
and the clouds are a light gray-blue
i write poetry.
it's all about you.

She had that
octopus smile,
always reaching for
something.
I was her small
fish; her handmaid.
I lived in her nebulous
world for far too long.
Inky confusion...

There's a reason for
your treason, said the
old man to the shark,
but Hem forgot, a beast
is a beast, they do
beastly things.
We all have to eat.

I'm done being the
meal.
It's your Ocean,
I'm just trying to
swim in it.

You're an oyster,
and I want your
pearl,
but I won't drown
for it.

I give vent to my grief
on top of the hills,
my heart still hurtles
and all the way down
expedited by ills
i count the turtles

you and me, under
the cotton candy sky
feeding each others hearts
with the light of fireflies
I, oh I,
am madly in love
with the beauty of thine
