waiting for your signal
pop a flare
tell me when your ready*
i'm already there

bags packed
nest egg stashed
escape route planned out
oh yeah we're headed south

when we were kids
just last year
we dreamed of a life together
far from here

we stayed up all night
with sativa and cazadores
promised to tell me when you're ready

since that moment
i've been anxiously awaiting orders
memories from september 2014 when we first met had some big plans

feeling your pull like a tractor beam
beaming you up a little piece of me*

can't give you my all;
transmission incomplete,
initially

i'll ship overnight red be there by 10
just make sure your home to let me in

kiss my face i'll string your parse
scream my name and kick my ****

drive me to the edge
exceeding light speed
slip off your belt for a tourniquet
gotta slow this bleed

let's try to take it easy this time
and see how it goes

if it works with just a little
then maybe we
make it whole
not the ideal context to establish ground rules but it's a start

If these four walls could talk
they would tell secrets unknown.
my truth will be told
my cover blown.

If these four walls could see
they too would judge me.
I would be ostracized
they would contribute to my misery.

If these four walls could smell,
they would choke on the smoke that is my hell.
hell in my heart, I have little peace
besides a stranger loving me between the sheets.

If these four walls could touch,
I would not desire intimacy as much.
They could hold me and hug my weary soul,
for they would have empathy...

*and know that love is my only goal.

you can't take it back
what you gave me
it's mine forever

you don't want it anyway
have no respect for it
just give it away freely

i keep it cherished
warm and safe
even if you don't

i will guard and
defend it's sanctity
with my last breath

even from you

One uneventful night I had a dream,
A breed of the creatures that no longer roam the Earth,
A tragicasaurus was what it called itself.

It spoke in a mixture of growls and english,
I was mesmerised by this moment and wanted a selfie,
I reached for my phone but it was missing.

A mixture of panic and fear set in over my body,
And the dinosaur forever remained a figment,
Of my imagination.

If I could capture every one of my dreams,
It would contain only photos of you,
And that would be the most exhilarating,
Most beautiful collection of photos in existence.

failed to yield
had to make a move
we collided in the middle*
you had something to prove

they couldn't separate us
even with hydraulics
fatally conjoined
locked at the lips

we were scared to be alone
so we endured great pain
never truly happy
suffering in vain

we both took a toll
decades in motion
i saw it in your eyes
you blocked all emotion

i don't have those skills
i must feel to live
you do what you need to
*i still have something to give
some hold on to things hoping it will be great again
must be the taurus in them
