Don't be hindered by your success being unrecognized. Just remember that no one stares at the sun when it is the brightest.

Loneliness is a frictionless erosion
A silent internal explosion
The walls crumble down
And even with crowds around
No one comes to check if you
Survived

I let you see the storm that flooded me in

you decided to leave and let it pour on me

the clouds have parted

the sun is finally shining

and despite your leaving

I find myself waiting

waiting for the person who would not even hand me an umbrella

Another poem you'll never read
Another night I run on all fours
Wild and free.
Another car in the driveway
That was never made
A neighborhood my self conscious subconsciousness
somehow decided to create -
Two male bodies that bear no threat
But to me and my dealings my stomach upset -
Another kiss I never thought I'd taste -
Like flat rinsed toxins running across my face -
My eyes and fingertips forced together
Please don't wake me up
I wish to stay with you forever.
