ten times better?" She asked,
"It's true, even the most bitter
can make you feel better"

God doesn't care

I spent my whole life
Eating right
Exercising

And I still
Don't have a good body

Energy The Treasury

If someone asked me what would be
The perfect present
I would answer in a wink, without a think:
Energy!
And probably
Add
Peace inside
So I can ride out tough spots,
Tragic phases when they come,
For come they do as surely as
My name is You.
But this you have to know also:
They go
And something takes their place.

Just the same, old chummy peace
Craves energy to be released.
When Mr E goes into hibernation
Taking toll on all relations,
I retreat, wait and relax,
Force a hope that it comes back,
Charging up my back-tery.
A temple of potential, energy!

I’ve written poetry,
I’ve called for, chronicled,
Describing, naming, yelling, telling for,
It is the germ of wholeness.

Circling Round Energy;

the way the light shined through the windshield that night.
it awoke something in me. that unusual, beautiful sight.
i'd never known a girl that made my hands shake.
and then take mine in hers and hold them to make it better.

i like to think maybe it was too much coffee.
maybe i got too high, too drunk. i couldn't see.
but that's just a smaller lie that i tell myself.
it's true when they say "every little bit helps."
in reality though, it was unreal. insane bliss.
but i loved her to maybe too many bits.

i wrote something in a random bar bathroom.
i'd never done that before and it felt good.
it said something vague like "i wish i could make this better."
or stupid like "she blocked me, so now i'm sending her this letter."
whatever it was, it probably isn't there anymore, no.
but i hope it seeped into the walls.

I wake up at 3 am
Just to hate myself again
The loathing crawled in while I was asleep
but this is a story that I will not keep
This is a story that I will not tell
Rainy and cold
But she won't ring the bell
I try to love harder
than the thoughts that deplete
But if I don't accept them-
am I really complete?
For love does not fight
It is too soft and kind
It nurtures as is
Leaves no bits behind
So I'll try this on now
Zip it right up my spine
Applying the heart now
To the parts I don't find
To be easy to love
To be easy to see
The parts that burn my eyes out
Screaming
don't look at me
I will love them in distance
Space
And in time
I will love each vibration
Because it is mine
