In my dream you were a savior,
who conquered the world with words
and sought a painters sky
that didn't belong to envious stars.

In my dream you were the light,
who checked both shoes before stepping in
and smiled fearlessly
at the monsters who dared to fall within.

In my dream you were a musician,
who gave bats gypsy bells
that lulled the moon asleep
and birds sonnets to
keep the sun awake.

In my dream you were the ocean,
whose waves roared in an hourglass
and tilted gems on
melted sheets of sand.

In my dream you were the wind,
who curled itself around me
and whispered stories
beyond the company of grass.

In my dream this was you
who used to check both shoes
(before stepping in).

If only I could tell you

how much the spiders

on my eyes appreciate you,

then the sentences that hang in the air

would be pinned to the ceiling

and the cigarette

would still be unlit

in the corner

by the lamp.

You were young once, my dear.

Twice before did you close your eyes for beauty

and never found peace with the

hands that touched you.


Yes, my dear,

You were here

...once.

&the world was small
compared to that of
hearts and flowers

And poems were only
whispers among the trees
that you weaved with
your frail

You are the bright
light against pale
paint, the tiny curve
in the corners of
a smile--
the quiet

in the pages of a book

You are all the
beautiful things
--if ever eternally--
(so slightly your life flickered)
you are.

A dedication poem to eecummings

If the Universe were a man in a trench coat

then his lair would be a carved-out pumpkin

with triangle windows and a candle as a kitchen

Perhaps we would all know when our time would come

and death would take bribes

as the devil coincides with all of the good.

Maybe we would all have a piece

of knowledge in our hands.

I will be a window
and the secrets you tell with your lips.
The sighs you blanket with the softest care
and the breaths you unknowingly count.

I will be the reminder of every second spent
and every moment felt.
A contradiction of your judgement
and a compliment of your beliefs.

I will be the ink of each unwritten imitation
of every mediocre song.
The scent of orange peel that trails on the
extravagant curves of your fingernails.

Butterfly kisses in the rain

and the universe becomes a waterfall.

Drunk with anger

were the eyes that blinked

his thirst and hunger

were his last mistake.

As he stood at the edge of the world--

his creation in his hand

made of glass

that slipped between the fingers of time.

And fell--

was his last artifact

of perfection.

Life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor.

In a palace glazed with porcelain--
pools of azure and gold--
And a prince far too young for the throne.

Yes, life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor...

Dream inspired poem

I will not be the hands that whisper across your skin--

the weathered kisses and cracked lips.

My caged heart is not your drum.


I will not be your stepping stone--

your weeping willow.
