the heat is unbearable
but not like the cold,
without the chance to
gather my bed
for a long slumber

this meal tastes like
ice and poison,
why would they
eat this junk?
then again
maybe they don’t

just a little higher,
i can totally reach
the brim
where the small heads
look on with glee

i wouldn’t hurt anyone,
and i forgive all the
voyeurs
for sacrificing their
time to watch me
survive

i just want to
go home

parallels?

and for the record,
no one thinks they're pretty
when they rain

so cry your ****** heart out,
and snort around the trough
whilst you’re covered
in mud.

Just let it all remind you
why this poem is
absolutely pointless.

And so are you,
and so am I,
and so is your dog
you love so much.

Because all we know
is the point in which
you start breathing,

and that eventually
you’re going to stop too,

so do something decent
with the middle
won’t you?

may aswell x
Life is a tax-man, indeed.

I thought if I could swallow the stars
I’d be as beautiful as the evening sky
I tried one night    with fireflies
They burned my throat
Their legs striking at soft flesh
But my skin did not glow
No moon crawled from my eye sockets
I was left with corpses in my stomach
I soon learned I would only ever be
A cemetery

EPHEMERAL

Fleeting flashes of tiny lamp lights
Minute lanterns white and bright
Countless stars in the skies
beautiful sights last eons of time
over the celestial and temporal,
God's creations but ephemeral

A shy violet and fragile red rose
To while away the woes
lovelies in the bright summer
flowers blush then quickly wither
in sunless garden, their scent
like beauty is evanescent.

Between vast skies and deep seas
dreams, visions and fancies abate
lay waste then recklessly dissipate
on brevity of nights and days
elemental will endures and stays.

Time is not measured in numbers
Secrets kept in heart chambers
And of the soul withal
live, outlast the ephemeral.

Just let me be weak today
I promise I'll figure it out tomorrow

Lemon boy smiles
I don’t dream anymore
But if I did I know you’d be there
You broke through my walls
I hope you know
I’m yours
Are you mine?

Day
Cookie in my hand.

Crumbs on the seat.

No gas in the tank,
but a nice sweet treat.

:)
A story about a lil old man eating a cookie in his car at a stop light. <3
Hope your day was good.

When my friend comes
I don't have to do
anything to make things
happen, shamelessly

we are who we want to be
we let warm breaths
play with happiness
in our blood, and exchange

words for bites
of peace in our belly
- the small world
...of contentment

...in the big world
...of striving -
until we are satisfied
and stop laughing
