Upon the stones the lichen grows
For those asleep in earth below
And those awake who tears do weep
To green the grass with sorrow’s seep
To honor love their hearts bestow

The lichen sleeps beneath the snow
Through cold and ice of winter woe
Awaits the warmth and summer’s creep
Upon the stones the lichen grows

In shadow rain or summer glow
It hears the words of belle or beau
It fears not time or grounds man’s sweep
The lichen guards eternal sleep
For here in each and every row
Upon the stones the lichen grows

First attempt at a Rondeau.
I am too much of a coward
To ever hurt you
So I let you believe
The definitions you make
Of the words that I say
My pride
Barely allowing me

I will never say
That I love you
Because I know that one day
I will probably take it back

But I see the smile
In your eyes
Smugness
A secret
You think I love you
And I am too much of a coward
To tell you that
I don't

The Noose
Apathetic disposition
Plundered all emotion
It was a curse to be her everything
The fragile egg she clung to
It was as though
moon-flowers bloomed from my eyes
Never mind the thorns
That bulged out
Of my irises

What was I to do
With the abundance of affection
Would I forever be in her debt
Walk the straight and narrow
Sorely to express my gratitude
And relieve my ever so burdened conscious.

At a very young age,
I learned to swim.
How is that after all this time,
I still drown in you.
i touch my lips to his; they taste like butter until he starts losing weight
i find two ladders on his body- ribs and scars.
i love him like red sky in the morning. pushing my fingers into his mouth is like Christmas Eve.
his lips on my skin burn holes; big enough to drown in.
he tastes like peaches. like peaches and honey. like peaches and honey and sugar. he teaches me how to hold my breath for a long time and how to relax all my muscles underwater.
i was very little when he loved me and so i didn’t understand
that he was trying to drown me

The exhibitionist
Taking every risk,
Putting everyone in danger
Just to be a little stranger,
Appearing more clear in its simplest form
Cause you're terrified just to conform.
So scared to lose yourself
That its affecting your health,
You're losing all your friends
Cause you'll go to any ends
To stand up and stand out.
So there isn't any doubt
That "nobody's you-er than you
And that's truer than true".
But you're false, you're fake
And it makes your heart ache
So now you're speaking out,
Cause there's so much doubt
That you're even you
Cause you don't even know what's true.
tired eyes
fingers
tapping
typing

a train
rattling the window panes
he swears
the vibration
makes the cracks
get wider

a drag
of greyness
heavy
taking life
out of his lungs

an empty page
the key of his type writer
held down
all at once

confused
rain
splattering
what's wrong with the sky
when it's blue

grinding
the joint
a bird's call
making him miss
his cat

he longs for turmoil
he longs for piece
he gets neither
I'm done breathing.
Its like mainstream to me,now.
I wanna switch off the light.
and not be able to see the sunrise
tomorrow.
I never wanted to make a guy
overpower my sensibility.
but there you go,
as if things have gone
the way i planned.
I got *******.
big time.
Affected the whole lot of me.
I'm trying to try my
luck
with flirting,
No,I wont cheat
on you.
I'm flirting with death.
this way
I
could
never
e-ver
cheat on you.
hope its okay?
i'm sorry.not sorry.
abide with my whole sense of pessimism,my flaws,my negativity,idec.
take me as im or watch me as i go.
I'm in the state of disturbia.
