Maybe, life is not all about this.

I try to cultivate my relationships
mostly surrounding this gift.

and...
Unless you're down with me
at that moment,

Truth is...
I would abandon you in a heartbeat
for the company of writers & poets

with the exception of "Love" that is...

I found a baby doll
3 days later
I cradled her in my arms
Careful not to wake her

She was but one head bigger
Than my own perfect doll

When she was alive

I buried her in a shoebox
And said my goodbyes
I said my sorries
And dried my eyes

But they never stopped leaking
And she never stopped sleeping

No more is she alive.

In the same strong blanket
I wore as a babe
She'll rest in peace in pieces
Inside that grave
For I am weak
But she is brave
And I'll never know
The love I never gave

Heavy breathing
Trembling knees
In the darkness
I could not see


Eyelash to cheek
Hearts heavy and weak
*In the darkness
I could not leave

Charles Bukowski
the best often die by their own hand
just to get away,
and those left behind
can never quite understand
why anybody
would ever want to
get away
from
them

I may not be

I may not be the fastest
I may not be the tallest
     Or the strongest

I may not be the best
Or the brightest

    But one thing I can do better
     Than anyone else...

      That is

        To be me

you say you're not beautiful
but there's beauty in you
in every single one of your gesture darling
the way you inhale
and exhale
like the quiet wind making his way between the weak long trees of our small garden
there's beauty everywhere
in everything
but most importantly
there's beauty in you /darling/
