A flash,
a flicker,
Writhing on the floor
Can still taste
the salt, the sweat.

Blinding, flaring
Tap, Tap
Ashes everywhere.

Then your head
Hits the wall

and God
it feels
G.OO.D...



drifting off beside you.

Let's

Let's break the planet into shards.
Let's do with ease what they call hard.
Let's make a mansion out of cards.
Let's make the ocean burnt and charred.

Let's turn an ounce into a pound.
Let's take a square and make it round.
Let's make it so no one can frown.
Let's go swimming underground.

Let's make a city on the moon.
Let's make the sun go down at noon.
Let's make what never happens happen soon.
Let's have winter on the first of June.

Let's fall in zero gravity.
Let's give away the world for free.
They say it's impossible, but they don't see.
Anything is possible for you and me.

i drink the poison
and i hope you die
bitterness soaks in
to become the lie
feeding
the decay we deny
we work together
(I smile because he smiles)
through the best and worst parts
of the beginning of our time

and after these years of [im]patience
(he smiles because I smile)
I scramble, speechless, to find an answer
that will render our lives anew

we dance
to the music of welcoming echoes
overheard in the rooms with blank-canvas walls
an art gallery for newly cultivated love

sundry emotions between the two of us
will spawn into mirrored images--
(but slightly altered)
an elegant surprise for our troubled world

as we follow the footsteps of the greatest pioneers in american history
generosity, courage, wisdom, and strength will be delivered
perfecting the American Dream
uncommonly known as...

a Family.

You're all disappearing ...
                                                          Drifting...
                                                                                Leaving....

And I'm sitting here alone...
                                                           Watching....
                                                                                  Helpless....

You're walking away from me...
                                                          My best friend ....
                                                                                   Leaving...

This time you chose to walk away...
                                                          No more chances...
                                                                                   Leaving...

There's a fog and it's getting deeper...
                                                          You're disappearing...
                                                                                    You're going away...

I'm feel alone and I'm getting scared...
                                                           Save Me....
                                                                                     Help Me...

The blade is getting closer...
                                                            Take it...
                                                                                     Burry it...

The blood bleeds a scarlet red...
                                                             Feeling...
                                                                                      Feeling...

I can't stop this time...
                                                              This is it...
                                                                                       Final line...

The battle lines have been drawn...
                                                                 I'm fading...
                                                                                         I'm crying...


                                                                                                                I'm screaming...
                                                                                                            Can You Hear Me?
Your smile
tastes of mint smoke.
It’s refreshing
against the taste of my tears
and the drink you gave me
to stop them.
Your eyes
trace their way down
my body
seeing
knowing
touching
every little sweet spot
long forgotten.
Your hands
melt into mine;
a connection revisited.
And for a moment
I see in your gaze
that (love lust longing) we shared.
I blink
and it is gone
in the moonlight
and blinking light
from your clock.
So I close my eyes
and let the smell of tobacco
in your hair
and the smile against my lips
bring me
to a dark connection
I know far too well.
We can be together.
Just one more time.
Just for tonight.
I can’t stand you’re wining,
You’re brating,
You’re *******,
You’re scratching,
You’re hitting,
You’re hissing,

I can’t stand you butting in.
I can’t stand you not listening.
I can’t stand you being mean,
You thinking your all that but your just obscene.

I can’t stand it!
To the point it makes me snap,
When all I want to do is take a nap.

I can’t stand you shouting without reason,
Crying, when it’s just not the season.

Ooo, I can’t stand you,
I wish I could,
But, I can’t stand you,
I know I should.
