Why make wishes to the stars at night?
Your wish shall take forever love.
Send your dreams to the sun above,
  that bathes warmth strong and bright.
That sooner you may pleasures take.
From desires in you, make.
It's been a while since i've posted here no? :)
Just to be able to embrace you without looking around the room
Being able to kiss you passionately without caring
To say I love you and to hear you say it back
To be loved without fault
To have your love
No secrets no lies
No deceit
Everything's justified
A Love of My Own
The day that you finally left me
I think that mountains crumbled into the sea
The Heavens collapsed upon Hell
And the universe left my eyes and
Fled into yours
Hear it in your parents' words;
in their sugar-coated testimony of disappointment
and let it
writhe around your neck,
until the ground neath you
slips.

(For your own sake,
don't struggle.)
The first realization of my seventeenth year of life.

 Dec 2014 Tongues

The snow piles up and is then washed away
like the change in an alcoholic's wallet,
appearing too briefly to instate a memory,
whilst the world remains unchanged, come morn.

Last year I smiled with tears in my eyes
as the snow fell and I waited for the bus.
I could feel the onset of a great transition;
but I had to lose my mind, before I found myself.

It has been a long year of beer bottled ash
and months spent catching up on lost sleep.
The pills came to take a weight from me,
until I gained the strength to carry the rest.

Songs have appeared with omniscient timing
to carry my breath through the bulrushes
of the river that never seemed to reach a source.
I am still looking for the ocean blue, the view

that will take me from these seasonal lows,
to a place where I can thaw out and live.

For every molecule in the ever expanding universe,
(For every molecule of you that I wanted to burn like you burned my trust)
For every unit of energy converted,
(For every emotion converted from love lust to blood lust)
For every breath any living thing has ever taken,
(I wanted to cease the incessant sounds of the breaths you didn't deserve.)
For every second I looked at you,
(For every second I wasted on trying to focus my eyes hard enough so that my looks could burn)
Dreamed of you,
(Dreamed of your demise)
Hoped for you,
(Hoped for you to die)
I grew to fully and completely love you.
(I grew to fully and completely hate you)
All so suddenly.
All so suddenly

Between the defined lines of bliss
Lies the essence of a sigh.
Where prayers fall nigh, And are
Blown by the winds of the most high.
Left alone is a timid man,
Hoping that whatever is left divine,
May hear thine sniveling cry.
O you know~
Dark turning to light
And nighttime turning to day
A parity sight
The cosmos come out to play
Black to white, reverse through gray
