(Kiss, **** and Hold)

I fall in and out of love like it’s nothing,
but I get torn apart like it’s everything.

Simple,
so simple…

Like adding and subtracting...

I’m a fraction
of what I’d like to be...

To be me as a hole
wouldn’t even come close to the wholeness
of the other human being.

You begin within a dream
I end upon awakening
and it’s all the same again…

I wished a world away
and made the other uneven.

Words written in pavement tell me to know who...

Graffiti on bricks tell me what kind of terror comes next…

I’m looking back at grinding noises
and forgiving someone that might not even notice…

Well I tell myself something to another that hears my echo.

I’m inappropriate and hurt a budding flower
and the suffering of tomorrow is now what I’m after.

It was only my self deprecating
laughter that made my sorrow not bother.

I don’t believe in fodder,
but cold fingers hurt warm flesh
and make a nervousness
less like a jump
and more of a grab
to keep me at bay…

It’s not that I came too close,
but she’s scared away…

Anyway.

More or less we still exist…

Not saying it’s completely useless,
but I wait like the rest,
or I fail the test...

I almost try my best,
but what can you expect
when I never wanted any of this.

levity of space
tossed into infinity—
so gently we float

Ew
There once was an old lady who lived in a shoe.
Unfortunately for her, before she moved in, it had stepped in poo.
Now when she invites people over to stay
they say,
"Your house smells like ****."
and then they go away.

The old lady cries,
"Why, oh why, do my friends leave
every time they come by?"
for you see, the old lady hadn't the faintest of clues,
that her house was actually a shoe
that had stepped in doo-doo.

mountain top’s dew spring
crying down to the ocean. . .
renewing it’s drip

in deaths duration
I’m found rustling in the wind
making gentle sounds—

if you lose control
(becoming a prisoner)
over your bodies actions
(which is completely confined)
you still have free thoughts
(you still have your dreams)
A haiku that can be read between the lines independently, or all together

magic show tricked eye,
but what’s behind a quick hand?
other than routine. . .
