I swear
riding on
that bike
with you,
holding on
to your
back for
my life,
and seeing
you smile
just like
that is,
the closest
we've ever
been to
each other.
They say
if you
walk

around the
circle three
times

with the
one you
love

then it's
meant to
be,

I know
it sounds
crazy,

but it
just might
work.

i want you
and it kills me to know
you don’t want me  

i watch you as you smile
with your friends
wishing i could smile with you

i wish you wanted me
and it kills me to know
you don’t wish for me

i watch you being you
wishing i could be
with you

i want to be with you
and it kills me to know
you don’t want me

you stole my heart
if only I could steal yours
then maybe just maybe
you would be mine

if only...
you dont like poetry
especially mine
why cant you understand
that every word is not exaggerated
but it is exactly what I think
just covered in silk robes
and crowned with flower petals
why can't you understand
that I dream of
green forest
and crystal clear oceans
that I am not trying to be edgy
I'm just trying to understand
myself
Comfortable with a shift
I am light
fitting about in small clarities
each of a color
nearer night or dawn
depending

and this mini-series of decay
a single barb on a small rose
exhausting itself on the sleeve
of a thin blue shirt in spring
and just a bit of my right arm
see it exalting at my drawback

I have seen a day pulled from time
with crashing disjunctures
broken seconds cutting indiscriminately
we are so viciously small
at this end of being
serial

and i am listening into orifices of wonder
wavering memories in memories of ink
easier with the current of the cool
ever darkening lightening skies
as they charge themselves with a day
while i sleep
