Now it all comes back:

in pursuit of you from the basis of this armistice, when in the swelter of this afternoon
I wish you realer than anything imagined,
                 in confidence   that I may   arrive at a   hunted  answer.

But the question, when hurled, broke into the wet back of mound’s infinite silence,
   like a dog with its paw leaving dog-signatures on the bedspread,

at twilight, flowers shift from grace to melancholy, rail of stars in sight now,

I amongst the darkness, waiting – wishing you again underneath the dome
   of this immense night,

prying amongst stones their language of truthfulness: Have I not loved enough?

You deserve your eyes less red,
a young gentleman to wed.
I cannot give solutions, at least
not intended ones.

I want your eyes to dry, lie
with you as we sleep, as we seep
away.

You trust my every word, involuntarily,
even though you have more to say.

As we stare once more, at last, for one last time,
we know,
when grateful, our eyes are most sublime.
We end here
while all else continues.

Beautiful night.
Heart full of love.
My mind so quiet.
Put your trust in me.
Hear my voice so gently.
Feel the breeze
caressing your face.
Embrace shining stars
in black space.
Say kind words before
you go to sleep.
Close your eyes.
In dreams we will see.
Each other so happy
and carefree.

I love you.
I miss you.
My heart is bleeding.
Empty feeling inside.
Tears behind
a smile collide.
Dark clouds are
blinding my sight.
Ice cold wind
touches my skin.
The pain I feel within.
Still floating.
Silently hoping.
A voice across
the ocean.

Death by Decoy
Let's find places
Where the fireflies would fill a whole field at night
Then we'd eat pancakes and churros at 12 midnight
Where we can spend our birthdays at a parking lot
Then we'd never pay for the reserved slot
Where we'd drink champagne while chilling in inflated pools
And Halloween and Christmas can be our April Fools
Where we can scream about our broken hearts
Then an afterwards talk about scientific private parts
Where we'd be heard at dawn laughing and singing
Where we can just be ourselves without anyone judging

Don't give me your heart
It's better off
Not being my property
Because I might just
Become greedy
And never give you mine
I'm greedy af tbh

You need not tell me
How deeply you loved her
It was so obvious
That I would know
Even from afar

You stood there
Your head lowered
Your hands forming fists
Your feet trembling
Your heart
Shaking
Crumbling
Rupturing
And you just stood there
Because
There's really nothing you can do
When your heart is breaking

A poem for the ones hurt
Though euphonic it may sound
You'll feel sad and inert
A feeling not so newfound
Where the words weigh you down
With the greatest intensity
Like it means to make you drown
In the bittersweet misery
Gotta work on dat rhyming
