There was this one day I,
A rolling accolade,
Came around to comply
Though pale and unafraid
The shedding of my skin
Followed shortly by force
Such force to spark a grin
That amplified my source
I felt strong, dazzled too
There was this energy
Coiling tight as it grew
And I found synergy
From places all around
From nature’s soothing sound

You* said, “Limitless.”
And I let you fall
As it was senseless
When I had felt all

And

I was nonchalant
Erasing which words
Weren’t radiant
Within these records

We weren’t enough
Did you notice too?
The pretense in love–
An apparent clue

*End

I don’t have to look for you
I find you always lingering
In the sometimes virtual,
Sometimes physical gaps in between
My fingers, these words, and I know how—
There’s no such thing as looking away
For a Thursday night brought me a breath
That I never thought of
Until it came ablaze
And landed inside my mouth
With a fog so peculiar it made its way
Down my salmon tongue
It went travelling
Wanting to meet my soul halfway
So I let it wander
Aboard a perpetual spectrum
Of remarkable finding
With a byproduct of a different me
I will no longer be who I used to be
My eyes could either be open or closed
It makes no difference
I see you just the same

Before you let go
And give in to lies
Look for the girl with
The sky in her eyes

While walking slowly
While drowning in doubt
Bawl the bona fide:
My heart cannot shout

You mustn’t forget
The words left unsaid
For worst is that love
Like light lacking LED

Before you let go
And let the worst rise
Look for the girl with
The sky in her eyes

Let me inject parts of you
Into words, handpicked
The kind I’d use to write poetry
Free-verse, haiku—
Or what may have you.
I’d pick up a black pen and write you
The brilliance of your face
And that fascinating grace,
I could swear at any light
Or time of day,
It could have easily lifted a pen
As well as moved me
With strokes that were
Possibly subtle and potent
But with a common wish
That is—
To perpetuate you
Somehow with me
In these lines as we've come attached,
I have written you to never end

Hold it with two hands
The only thing that understands
The sinister piece
Alongside corporeal disease

Yours is the heart I listen to
For it buzzes and circulates
With the deep blue inside of you
Oh how I would love to—
I’d tuck away your touch and such
In the back of my curious mind
Letting it grow in suspension
With every mention
Of the great unexplained feeling
Constantly skipping rope with me
And the strands of hair on my skin
Oh, you’re a mojo pin
The kind who moved inside of me
Beside the beating of my heart
Initially filling the space
Pushing it out of place
