I look for you
in the darkness
of my shadow
and rain drops
are dripping from
my closed curtains.
I can't see anything.

All I find is myself
and the terrible truth
of who I am.

We were scared of
each other at first.
But then we recognized
ourselves in our eyes.
We sat there in silence,
and our pupils dilated to
the edges of our eyes
as we strained to see
into one another.

I was hoping
it wasn't as ugly
on the inside.

Your skin is burned
and blackened, rough
and calloused, scattered
with sweltering welts
spitting seemingly
ceaseless smoke from
their cancerous mouths.

But in my shadow
we've been turned inside out.
What we see is inside us.

I held you in my arms,
covered in pus and bile.
What happened to us?!
I wailed over you and
my snot and tears
healed your wounds.

side show tickle tackle
fickle gabber earth battle
pillow blanket thought shatter
mass matter pitter patter
putter thither butter hither
liver wither ***** bottle
chicken shiver beak waddle
heliocentric planet model
wrong and boring after all
wrong and boring after all
lol ol ol ol ol ol ol

we give an ovation
to a piece of art.
the piece of art is life.
the ***** is the creator
of the ****, the egg,
the creator is an artist,
the universe is an ****,
the egg is life.

Therefore, the art is the universe.
We are the artists.
We are the audience.
We are the creators.

let it go and
let it flow so
you can grow

One step forward
two steps back a sin
there's more firewood
for fireside saccharine
you understood now but
you really shouldn't could
in fireball frenzy fruits fryin
those fickle foosball fantasies
buying pickled paradigm
pipe dreams
war paint

With you,
I can feel what
I've never felt.

I can feel my wings
growing stronger as I
soar above the clouds
and I want to fly with you
like butterflies freed from a jar, ever grateful.

I can feel my face
glowing from the moon
as it cradles my oceans
and I want to swim with you like stingrays in a sea of love.

I can feel my petals
opening to the light
as it radiates into me
and I want to grow with you in a magical forest.  

I can feel my horizons
extending as my sun
rises forever.

With you, I want to shine.

interlacing faces
dilate pupils as
fingers intertwine
between synchronized paces,
cold walks and kind smiles

I feel a tremble coming on and warm shimmery bubbles radiate right through me as electric caresses and magical messages cause goosebumps to rise like mountain ranges on celestial bodies

I like you, you
mystical water gazelle

you swing sweetly
the tides of my seas
and sing softly the
stars of my skies
