Where is the lust, it's beckoned twin,
it's dawning onset of emptiness. Emptiness
-no: embarassment.
Where is the biological imperative
in such a feeling, to feel constanstly, to live the feeling like a habit, to go along brushing teeth and closing doors?

If I felt nothing it was because I was pretending
that the cold cleansed, that moon rays laying lavishly across rippled banks of the first snow, were
somehow poetic, thus eternal. If I forgot
the conditioned response it was lost on the frugal lake,
the clear water
- still, pure -
aground encroaching ice.

”these thoughts, become yours, more than mine, for
in the taking is the additive chemical that enhances,
making the distance closed to only those closest, here I pause,
fearful, you hesitate, do not understand, that sunshine can
blind any man, sickness humble any body, we are un-alike despite
our commonality, more than different, for we are all riddled”

the words clearly clear,
thinnest writ for your gaze to penetrate.
do you yet understand?
we are all riddled.
the world presses upon our back.
we do not understand why.
riddled with the worst, bullet holes shot through and through,
some wounds old now, others anticipated and yet to arrive.

in this we have a stake, all humans can die in the same ways.
ah death, the theme that keeps coming back, endless reruns.
I am ruined, riddled with doubts, value and worth, how it is
humans exhibit the polar opposite, of qualities, features disparate.

are we not all riddled?
we are all riddled.

Action is undertaken too swiftly
Hatred is tolerated too indifferently
We are infants of grace
Whose frames of references
Are usually taken out of context
And haste is a biased perception
******* she claims
I never break my word
Nor have i ever heard
A more depressing story

Excusez-moi ma cherie
Love is too far to reach
But i beseech you to teach me
The ways of subtle strangers
Who play with words made of fire
How can we make magic with our desire
When there are only ten lonely fingers
Wrapped tightly around a wire
The personification of submission
Deserves our entire attention
You are no more or less of a person
When there are only a few
Extraordinary people who adore you
Love is a fundamental force
It rocks you off your course
And you must pass through  
A million phases of transformation
Each day is a situation you can handle
Another milestone placed upon the mantle
We are living examples
Of candles burning in the dark
I see treasure in the sky
A line between colors that meet your eye
Love is the sound of rice
Falling on the kitchen floor
When morning was born
We tried to disintegrate all of our shadows
But the room had been filled with arrows
So we laid on the ground and wondered
It was then I saw you whispering to the thunder
That love was an entire mountain
And we have never known hunger
Bigger than a volcano before
We saw the birds return from their migrations
And all our hearts were blooming
In the libations of the sun
Your tears water down a river
And the rafts of your heart are bound with fibers
We share in all of our shadows
Until our minds become vibrant and entangled

A redistribution of confusion and misrepresentation
Cultural assimilation appropriated itself too swiftly
Yes i'm disappointed but please tell me something new

The law of non-compliance persists
We take our love wherever it fits
And lately I've grown accustomed to it
Really
