The artist
Because before she is she
She is light
Not some romantic heroine
But more like ******
Dangerous
And addictive
Powerful
She is not a body
Not just flesh
Made to feel
Or fulfill male desire
She is fury and compassion
She is furious in her passions
Not clad in shallow fashion
Not mine to define
But one who shines
Throughout space and time
Part and whole
Of the human divine
A flickering candle
Dangling in the darkness
Trying to help me and you
See through to
What we need to do

Hell while I am at it
Not to be to dramatic
But for every her him
He who was a she
Or She who was a he
For you, us, or them
This is just one mad respect

the stars were trying
to impersonate
your eyes tonight,
and art is trying
to make someone
love you,
the stars and art
were so convincing
that it made me vow
to cherish you
like you are
the most expensive
piece of art
and the most
unreachable star
that ever existed.

I saw you last night
I tightened my jaw and averted my eyes
But not before I sympathized with the plaid shirt hanging from your hunched shoulders
Those buttons that have been replaced with my teeth, chipping away against your sternum
leaving me with a skyline smile
I saw you last night
I smiled
You acted like you had seen the sun set on this city a thousand times
"I wanna make you pancakes for breakfast.
I'll nurse you when you're gross-sick.
Will get your mess hair selfies with me.
Hug you at your back to surprise you.
Give you non-material things for your birthday.
Take a walk together with your dog while on our boards.
Watch horror movies under blanket on a carpet.
Rooftop date with just a radio.
Play pocky game and lose to you.
Offer you chocolate with my mouth so you wont get your hand stained.
Take off my heels when we kiss.
Always sleep first so you'll miss me.
Visit your family by Christmas.
See the first sunrise on every New Year.
Audio message you on Facebook in saying goodnight.
Do some awkward dance moves together.
Hide under your jacket.
Pass the exams with me the better score.
Graduate in same year.
And to just make that full smile,
While we take that another mile."


I want that to be in keep,
That's the words the girl said in my sleep.
just another dreaming

She stands firm
Often she dances
To the wind
She yearns for
An audience


Her stories
Often ignored by
Passers-by en route
To their final destinations


Occasional visiting bees
She welcomes
Not stray hands
She knows
She'll be lay to rest
Helpless
In a vase

You have to make a choice in your life.
The known path that will be certain,
Or you risk everything for everything.

Shakespeare: "doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun moves, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt that I love you"
