Empty, ether incomparable,
wavy, seemingly separable.

Explosive though minimal,
corrosive and liminal.

Space saying schtick,
beauty and wings together stick.

Like unalike jewels,
Emeralds so gorgeous they'll make you sick.

With yourself, for fear,
of never getting near, the magic.

Like you used to say it,
bottleless lightning and you wish to stay it.

Singing desires, stinging like spires,
endless abyss, like a crowded mire.

Set them on fire, see if they catch.

Wist a gist in a kiss, see if will latch.

To the fields I retire,
I'm in love but also tired.

I'm so worried about everyone else dying,
and yet I'm the one who's going.

The door is at my neck and I'm still talking,
saying prayers while I'm being layered
with everything worse than anything cancerous.

My heart seems to ask questions,
wondering whose chance this is.

Speaking of the golden rule like I'm not buried
in gym socks and thoughts of second chances.

Fancy myself some kind of mancer,
hoping I start myself going,
stop myself from slowing.

I dreamt of you and woke up to go hug my mother,
I'm tired now, and moments ago me feels like another.

Staying still but rocking back and forth,
it's like a sway and fear what it has to say.

Maybe I'm lost, or finding myself in my own lost ways.
I don't know, and neither do you, I suppose,
is the best we can say.

I hear music in my soul, everywhere it explodes,
it's like the air gains form, like a musical note,
vibrations where nothing is there.

And I stop to say, words, love,
unspeakable things, just feeling in a way,
that it stings while the mouth sings.

and I lose it in lust, and have this feeling,
like a desire, like a must,
intertwined in bees, and beautiful scenes.

Elevating the snails for the sake of making it,
unbeknownst, breaking it, taking it,
everywhere, like a curse.

you've got some lead in your pencil,
don't be afraid to draw with a stencil,
no matter the word or vibe,
just look and remember,
you are a titan,
fearless and mighty.

Enjoy the daylight, the walks you love,
grass is just grass and yet you're in love,
with the fields and flowers,
windows you know nothing about,
smile at the hours.

Pretend you have powers, run
like lightning, strike, the wind,
beat the villain you are fighting.

Rulers, scissors, that smell,
you won't be able to describe,
so take it all in!
picture yourself being an ancient scribe.

Learn about the polymaths and aspire to be like them,
or one of the million other dreams that might never end.
just don't drive too fast, just don't want it to ever end,
please just comprehend!

love, loves you back, without doing a thing,
it doesn't fight you back, if you chose the wrong song to sing,
so if you wish your heart, where the birds be,
find love without a start, and an impossible ending,
take it from me, love doesn't take a thing.

For you, I was not enough,
The things you thought, I never said,
but you told me so, in a tone
that didn't seem like a bluff.

A precipice from our latest height,
a new extremity rearing its head,
right before my eyes,
not just because I said.

You wished all the worst curses,
asked me to please end,
I asked for clarity, as we rehearsed it,
you seemed to test whether the knife would bend.

I'm filled with them now,
and so I am unstoppably bleeding,
do I comprehend what you said,
is being now a form of pleading
o

you told me i'm alone,
like when we met,
that i should stay this way,
that you'll find a home,
where men like me will just be a saying.

From the soul

comes a toll

not spoken nor said

or applicable to the dead

Lest you live

as a name

of infamous fame

call her insane

Tell them she is why you're drained

walk upon the ledges

make friends of the trees

say to the blades

This is her name

now please

calm her until she is tame

wind

I am going insane

in a single instance

a moment

a day

A fortunate fella, walks into a cellar,
and there hears a song, from a lowly bank teller.

She hands him the cash, he bestows her his soul,
unlike his spirit, the money wouldn't fold.

Eyes are made, unbeknownst to him,
the same as to all, like the blame that was hidden.

Let us just say, our boy was now smitten,
and her looking faint, somehow only he would fall.

The dance, like a horse ridden,
tame but unsolved.

The ball, everyone attended,
but only he seemed attentive.

Magic equipped them with calls,
lowlights befell neath the stars.

Highlighted pupils, of flames
and pasts absolved.

The story was just beginning,
but the end already solved.

Driving far, just for more time to listen,
out of gas, but no smile missing.

Fading fast, because three years pales to infinity,
a beautiful ocean gave way to commotion.

A corrupted affinity, a mirror that could bleed,
if it could tell the story, maybe he could breathe.

She spells like annotation,
never spills her invisible ink.

He holds all her knives,
along with her mittens.

One carelessly loves, the other
stops to think.

A heart made with questions,
a soul like a coat.

Betrothed and invested,
in the bank of her throat.

A person that is tested,
a tester who cannot know.

A safe, and a man that will trust it,
a teller that won't tell, and
an audience that already knows.
