If it is beautiful to you,
it is beautiful to me.
If the sun you wish to have,
I shall pluck it from a tree
so you might
hold it in your eye
and it will be my gift to thee.
For what is beautiful to you
is so beautiful to me.

I don't need
     your     namaste flower-
power    poetry         words
     that       barely break   the
skin               give me something
strong like gin     something with
a little                sin.

        I don't want your
fluffy words               I want something       seldom heard
    something I          can always use
something that'll        leave a bruise
           so bomb the page I'll
light                the                 fuse.

to love a poet
is to admit the world
is tragic

I want to kiss each inch of you,
especially the places you do not love
I want to show you the love
you do not give yourself

I don't need you to fix anything
I just want you to listen
and to know I'm not alone
To feel your arms around me
I just want you to be there
That is enough

"I wish I had a boy."
She said.
"I wish that someone loved me more than the crashing waters of the ocean.
More than Art and the beautiful music.
More than the stars in the sky that twinkle like diamonds at night.

More than life itself."

Then a voice that seemed to come from the sky said these two words,


                                            "I do."

I fall in love with people
and their ability to be vulnerable
because it takes courage
to be real, human
in a world full of photo copies
To come across something
genuine or authentic
is a rarity
and I find myself loving
and admiring that
