In the depths of a pool
of blue, oh so blue
water I seek her.

I seek her with eyes that
have never even seen
a single rising of
the sun.

I seek her with ears that
have never even
heard the beating
of a heart.

I seek her with fingers
that long to feel the
passion of life.

I seek her with a tongue
that has never sipped
the sweet vintage
of youth.

I seek her to know her.
I seek her to love her.

I seek her.

Your Blood.
It's
Really
Quite
Nice.

It's
Languid
Path
Down Your
Pinky
Is Hypnotizing
Me
Such That I Cannot Look
Away

Such
A
Visceral
Crimson
Trail.

Such
Radiant
Rivulets

I Almost Forget
That You're
In A Little
Pain.

Also, You Say:
**** Those Papercuts.
They Hurt Worse of All.
And Yet...

I Would Not Stop You
Getting A Single One
If It Meant

You Showing Me
Your Plethura of
Vitality
Once
And
A While.

Man
He looks through the window
He looks at me
I wave at him
He leaves

I wave again
The next day
He leaves

I wonder why he looks at me...

The next day I see him again...

I wave...

He doesn't leave...

I turn around and there he is...

The man who never waves is standing next to me...

I scream and run but it is to late...

Because now I don't wave or move at all

they say
when swallowed it
sticks inside you
between your ribs.
when you move
it'll pull you apart
they say.

they say
when swallowed it's
there to stay.

Q: forever?

A: like hate.
A brisk *****, and the blood begins to accumulate around my index finger.  
The man smiles, and says "That will do just fine."

I miss you
I miss everything about you
There was an intimacy swollen in my heart
But has faded in your eyes
But my love is strongest,purest
I shall never forget
How much I loved you
and love you still.

Your smile touches the deepest corners of my heart
There was a time, when i knew I was yours
but that has also passed.
How can I forget the sparkle
on the ***** of your laughter
The magic in your eyes
The ticklish banter.

How I wish time froze
and I was forever yours
Till the sun goes down
Till the stars all die
Till the gleam of the moon
does never flood the sky.
You may never know
How you have arrested my whole
Perhaps you shall never see
and never know
the abyss of my longing-
an quenchless fire deep below.

But till the tide of time
embraces the last grain of sand
Till autumn's last leaf
is swept away from land
Till our entwined souls
meekly to faith surrender
I will love you true
Forever and ever.

The sun.
A beacon guiding all
toward the good intentions
that grow over
where graves begin.

Time doesn't change
inside the frame.
There's only the dust
collecting.

Outside the glass
the sky
is
falling...
one
drop
at
a
time.
Written while my mom was in the hospital ICU, struggling to survive...
and my uncle was in the same ICU...
struggling to die.

there was a fire burning in us

we put it out with alcohol and cigarettes

we put it out with late nights

and *** fights

we put it out with our bodies making love under starlight

oh and how that fire burned

while we yearned

for forbidden things our parents never tell.

there was a fire burning in us, and we walked through hell.

there was a fire burning,

in our eyes you saw it glimmering

ya we threw up,

but we grew up,

and now the fire’s only simmering.
