nighttime still embraces me
while I wipe the thinking
from my eyes
& it is not what I want
it's not the arms of the one I long for

Nor is it the feeling found in
the pit of my stomach that I
once had lost for so long-
slight naïveté, mostly hopeful
but extremely unfamiliar

if this isn't nausea it must
be unrelenting infatuation

my bones shutter while I walk
and my head is ringing

you were with me last night
more than you know,
the hand that guided bottle to
my mouth I could feel you
there, I drank with you draped about me

but the more I drank, the more
wise I became
it was not you at all
but the propagation
of fears and feelings you induce

I swear your scent was in the air, though

I still drink for you, dear
it's a sweet poison and it brings
me closer to you

this morning is gloomy in
the wake of wanting you more&more

the smell of coffee
makes me miss you
but for all I know
you're more of a tea drinker

you could hate
caffeine, even
but I'll be that new thing
in your bloodstream

it's only reciprocation,
dear
it's been no immense
amount of time

but I yearn
physical and
mentally

is it okay to miss you?
I have no idea

and the overcast weather
is calling me to your figure
I want to match the heat
with bodyonbody temperature

my eyes are brown
my eyes see brown
and it's more romantic
than it sounds

maybe only half as foolish

but all of me is missing
something,
something much more
incredible than anticipated

i've no appetite anymore
i've no appetite left
there is no room for hunger
for thirst

no time for sleep

no room
for anything
other than you

there is no other desire
there is no other need
no other darkness or light
no oxygen or otherwise

there are only those
slight curls
rounded imperfect
potential energy
pouring off of the top
of your pretty head

all i can do is gasp for breath

nature, color, symbolism
embodying themselves
in that body of yours
painted on your skin
tattooed on the soul
you are a work of art
my favorite exhibit
such beautiful existence
itself is an anomaly

i have none else to offer
but what's left of me is true

you've really made
quick work of me, haven't you?

I've got chump change
in my bank account

and bad vibes brooding
in my brain

I'm somewhere in between
average and clinically insane

but when you look at
me like that I shiver and I shake

my heart my soul
my blood my bones are all
laid bare for you to break

that moon is nothing
short of super

how could I put it
in words?
there are no words,
there are no words

I struggle to find the words

and that tree
something I've never
seen

drowned in silver
fabrics,
cosmic silks
stellar feels

the moon could
encompass
the universe

but that tree is
defined by its roots
and its roots grow
so very deep

and that tree is dying
and that tree is real

and in death it radiates
absolute grace

absolute elegance

complete serenity,
morphed &
wronged by nature

but so pure
so purely pure

& in the tree's shadows,
stars in the sky
sort of waver, they
flutter lifelessly

the moon and
the tree,
yew I believe,
are the peak
of all I've ever seen

a moon that big, has
a lot of room for sour
thoughts
but that yew tree
is all that matters

that yew tree
is the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen

that super moon,
that literal super moon,
universally incredible
thing

something that emanates
all happy thoughts,
all tides,

it cradles romance
it embraces wonder

it is everything

and that moon,

well, that moon

that moon is (almost) as beautiful
as that yew tree
i love you, Sylvia

honestly**;
what could you possibly see in her?



"She's blonde and
she makes me feel bad
about myself. What more
could I possibly want?"
