Sunrise

I am dawn itself
so dark and so hopeful, I'm
only beginning

you and me

we belong together
maybe as friends,
maybe as lovers
but god do i hope it's the latter

Rear View

Summer nostalgia
surfacing like sweat.
We try not to remember,
but how could we forget?
regrets...

Our thick skins blistering,
disguises wearing thin.
Book bindings we try
to hide behind-
you're missing...

Making shallow conversation
though our friendships are forsaken;
Dripping sugarcoated lies
and sunkissed goodbyes.
*goodbye...

High school vibes, or nah?

Little Bear

free

i've been trying to explain this
my whole life
and one day
i will finally find
the right words

i am not going to stay

i will always find a way to fly
always find a way

i am sunlight
but never the sun

i will never be something
you can hold
always finding a way
to let go

my roots need air
not earth

to be held above water
is to drown

something in my heart
tells me
i will never belong

to anyone

one day
i am a flower
and at night
i will close my petals
opening the next sunrise
to have my clocks
float away

i will always
grow in the meadow
wild
where i can live
and die
on the summer breeze

i am not going to stay
i will always
want to be free

How it works

Life can't exist without death.
Love can't exist without hate.
Choices can't exist without options.
And forgiveness can't exist without pain.
Anything good and truly worth having takes a little part of you.

Nikola

Your tiny hiccups break
the silence of a room full
of mechanical people with their
perfectly rehearsed
Cheshire Cat grins
and
I move like a marionette puppet
that had too much coffee
except
this interruption in my system
is caused by the
electricity
that surged through
my stomach
when we locked eyes
so now I feel
sick
but in an oddly pleasant way
I'm sure
Tesla would have been so
ecstatic
about our spark
