I looked back to what I was
To realize who I am again

Your body
Is a creation of the galaxies
A coming together of milky ways and solar flares

When I first saw you, I was stunned
At the sheer amount of stardust it would take
To make something that beautiful

Your body
Is a glass case
Struggling to hold rivers in your veins
Herds of wild horses in your chest
The monarch migration in your stomach

Slowly you are cracking
The glass relenting to the spirit it cannot hold
But when it breaks you will not hurt
You will be free

My office window overlooks a frail tree.
When the sun is bright,
I can see some of its hues.
When the clouds go dark,
I can see its blues!

My office window overlooks a frail tree.
When its windy,
I can see its strength.
When its hot & humid,
I can see its parchedness.

My office window overlooks a frail tree.
It is dancing today.
The rain has beckoned.
**Hope is a waking dream.
maybe...
maybe it's okay to lose people.
maybe they're supposed to stay
for a little while;
they are only vessels of
tiny reminders such as
let the pain remind you
that you can still feel
and
so now you know
why not to trust and get attached.
maybe...
maybe it's okay
to leave people.
maybe we're supposed to leave
because they're poisonous
- or maybe we are -
either way,
when it's not right,
someone's got to leave.

let’s live suddenly without thinking

under honest trees,
                        a stream
does.the brain of cleverly-crinkling
-water pursues the angry dream
of the shore. By midnight,
                                a moon
scratches the skin of the organised hills

an edged nothing begins to prune

let’s live like the light that kills
and let’s as silence,
                            because Whirl’s after all:
(after me)love,and after you.
I occasionally feel vague how
vague idon’t know tenuous Now-
spears and The Then-arrows making do
our mouths something red,something tall
i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
The nighttime has vanished
And with it my fears
I am dauntless now
I will shed no more tears
This cliff is nothing
I scale it in a day
The ocean beside me
I circle without delay
I will walk this earth
Without a care in this world
I will scale every mountain
No danger unheard
Legions of armies
Try to tear me down
But to no avail!
I will rise from the ground
I will go to the tallest tower
Yes the largest on earth
I will show those cowards
Who I was from birth
I will fight off every dragon
Save the princess from her tower
Yes, I will be the victor
I will never cower
Every feat done by man
I will do ten times over
Fear has lost definition
I feel no exposure
In the face of danger and fear
I laugh.
For danger and fear have become
As chaffs.
Yes I will become mightiest of them all
But before I do that, I must learn how to fall

My fears manifest
As danger in my dreams, but
I don't get nightmares
