what do I do now
can you see
I've lost my way
when I chose
the path less traveled by
now I see,
into the darkness I travel,
then I realize I like it better there.

We don't have ***.
No, we don't ****.
We make love.
And it's wonderful.

It caressed her breath
The sweet smell of misery

It danced on her words
The patient body of hate

It slipped in between the lines
The worthy intent of corruption

It passed through her eyes
The playful shade of pain

It spoke in her place
The kind whisper of doubt

It clung to her heaving chest
The loving sting of death
It does not matter what I think
It does not matter what I feel
The choice is always someone else's to make
This land I live in makes no sense
So I must vacate
I am done playing games
Being third string
Set on the sidelines
Waiting to be called in
This game is over

I am moving on
To the land of Karen
Where everything is calm
Where what I think
Dictates my day
And what I feel leads my way
I am so excited
I sigh a silent cheer
My new life is already here

dancing in the dark, a mass of bodies becoming one.

*nobody knows me and i have never felt so close with strangers before.
let me forget myself.
What is it like,
                         to be free?
The greatest of magic lies in our naivete and innocence.

two things that are never meant to be.

*don't pretend you're sorry.
Let the world know that poetry
is great.
There is passion in its rough, gilded grooves
(I've seen it all)
Dance shoes under
(I've tried them on)
And overall, wicked smiles
(they have shown on my face).

I've read the Alice blue tears of a grown man
lined up like a tree so that
each line is a branch.
I've read all the things
that you think don't love each other,
but they simply do.
Poetry loves you--people and poems are
just the perfect
dance partners.
I've seen it all--

I've seen that crazy look
on a poet's face.
It is the best form of every thing
which is only tangible

through a poem.
