It's such as shame when you find out things about people what you didn't need to know,
Because half of the time,
It will be things that impress you,
Surprise you,
Comfort you.
And half the time it will be things that misguide you,
Betray you,
Strike you.
When I found out what I did,
I jumped to conclusions,
Wanted to escape,
Needed to breathe,
And I hadn't even asked you about it.

I love the way you say my name,
Like the first butterfly of spring,
A big wave in the sea,
Backwards somersaults on a trampoline.

I love you like Silence
Nothing
Just between the two of us

Be grateful for the darkness
that conceals your tears,
breaks your heart,
and brings forth your fears.

Her mind is an observatory.
A really fun one. You know,
With rock candy at the entrance,
And a gift shop full of unique keepsakes.

Like compassion.  
And warmth.

And when you step inside,
Her constellations are painted upon the dome ceiling,
Telling a story only visible
To those willing to connect the dots.

A story of glowing blues
And scattered specks
Of burning red,
With a dark void
Occupying the gaps
You so desperately wish to fill.

She has an entire solar system
Inside of her,
Hidden within the stars.
A heart as gold as the sun.
A soul as old as she wants.
And when she speaks,
You fall in love.
Because you don't have a choice.

Her voice echoes amphetamines
Along the walls of my skin.
Her smile shines
Like the crooked panels
On every straight paved sidewalk
I've ever known.

And when I look into her eyes,
The universe stares back.

I think she's a goddess.

we will know them by their fruit
when it comes
we will know our places
we will hear the bells ringing
we will adore those who waited
we will praise those who carved the path
those who cut the rocks and sheared the lines
those who walked the path and stirred from beyond
we will ignite the lantern
the path will be lit
we will
we will
we will
from our loudest cloud cloaked hilltops
the mountains will sweat
the elders will growl
the lights will be bright
we will
we will
we will
poetic justice prevails
the thunder will reign
the elements will represent
the justices will hammer
the voices will be claimed
the fabric of a trillion stars echoing their light from beyond
we wish and we will
sing the song of mercy
the great spirit abides
thy will be done
on earth as it is within

The beauty I saw in your eyes,  
         Peering into your soul.
It's depths astounded me,
     your poetry amazed me,
Another half to broken pieces made whole.
Yet the pain I saw eluded me,
          it baffled me
   how you could be that sad...
I remember this dream I had,
Where you were in complete despair,
     crying in a corner,
             Tears blood red
I can't remember exactly what you said,
     but it crushed me.
           The next day,
while you were smiling and joking around,
I tried to glimpse deep in your eyes,
          what I found?
Stunned me to tears, after all these years,
          how could I not see?
I think you were about to ask me what was wrong,
            But you realized I discovered what you'd been hiding all along.
I didn't know what to say,
          or how to speak...
Then I saw a grin start to form in the dimple on your cheek.
         You'd fooled me, arrogantly tricked me,
You pulled up your sleeve and grabbed a knife,
              Started slicing away just to torture me,
          Slowly ending my life.

I met myself one evening,
It was a chance encounter –
Like the chilled meeting of
A ghost from your darker past.

I stayed awhile –
Staring at me – while I stared back.
Neither me knew which to say –
Each the others misery company.

After time the ghostly figure asked aloud
“What is wrong with you?”
All that mine self could reply –
“What is right with  us?”

Questions which neither can deny,
Answers naught can create.

Sweet life
   drifting off the lips of innocence,
   dripping through the leaves
   and splashing on the sidewalk,
      Reflecting the colors of the sun.

Holding hands--
   sinking into iris, I reach
   looking for the delicate;
   the things I want inside of me,
      Showering with love on the run.

Happy thoughts
   trailing through the spider webs,
   frosted dew upon the lawn
   and newspaper on the driveway
      Reminding us to chill; relax.

But darkness hides,
   tickles my morbid fantasies,
   feeding on my misery, I scream
   from inside out and cry away
      My love as it drips into the cracks.

Shining silver melody
   that cracks into my skull
   and eats at my everything,
   killing all inside of me,
      Screaming echoes 'round.

Reach for warmth,
   crying for her so softly,
   asking God and Satan how
   I can try to get along
      But they don't listen to my sound.

The musk,
   it consumes me, caressing me,
   showing me the bleakness of
   rain, sun, and lovers in between;
      **** me with your apathy.

**** my everything;
   **** me softly, let it drain out
   and cover the curb with blood
   to feed the lovers in the sand
      While I cry away my agony,
      Eat away my Sin
      And follow her to Hell.
