I sleep into the
late afternoon
I open the window
to smell the rain
I watch the winter
trees undress
I wait for the storm …

Your questions
Are cursed with time
With loops
Of nothingness
My gift
Was a soul
So pure
That could see the light
In your sadistic humiliations
And a mind
So logical
To solve a problem with my bare hands
And a body
So doll
That I could give up
Cause I believe
No matter what I think
I'm only a drop in the ocean
Bearing the weights
Not to bother the grains

A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?



The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.



I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.



I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.



I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.



If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself.

they say there ain't rhythm
they say it don't rhyme
but people get famous off that kinda ****
all the ****
day

The temple bell stops -
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.

Matsuo Basho

Oh lord
Forgive me for I have sinned
Like Adam and Eve
I am the snake in the garden
Oh lord
Will you forgive me for I have sinned?
Like Eve and Adam
I am the apple in Eden
Oh lord
I have sinned to be forgiven
Like Adam, Like Eve
All I knew was that you told me
To come back to you even if I have sinned
I have tasted hell for years
I am going to be there for years
Oh lord
Forgive me for I have sinned
And forgive the people who betrayed me
Forgive the traitors in my past
and the betrayals in my mind
Oh lord
Will you forgive me for I have sinned?
Like Abel, Like Cain
or will I be your lucifer
Lost in hell forever
lost touch to the rope
Like the son of Noah
For I have sinned?

I know it don't mean much now
But
I'm sorry

perilous forests
lay bare: sheer, dark, and sincere;
so many secrets.

I wanted you to take me out on a date,
but you said you're too busy,
romanticizing your sadness.
I guess you need that sorrow
to write your music,
just like I needed my heart broken
by you
to write my poetry.
