The winter sand that still remains
Along the walks and streets
Makes a sweet, seductive sound
Underneath my feet,
Like a lover clears her throat,
When about to speak...
Seasonal
I loved you so obnoxious blossoming petals
oh how blindly i focused
Eyes neglecting your thorns ;
it was easy to forget that i was worth quite the same
It was harder to remember from which door i had came
i would clutch you in my palms and hold you close to my nose
Now my hands have some holes ;
and my blood is exposed...

I loved you so obnoxious blossoming petals
oh how happy you made me
Whiffs of joy killed dispair ;
it was easy to forget that i was still on my own
No one actually there
no one entered my zone...
No one really has possession of others
this idea is alluding
Ties your heart in a knot
are these devils intruding
Were they always around ?
watching as i withstand
To push my face in the ground..

I live,
In the lucidity of dreams
Undreamt

Eternally naked,
In front of a crowd
Yet, dwelling
In a trench coat style
I'll bare you my soul,
Yet hide my face
I prefer my words, on the wind
Felt,
Never heard
A fading voice
In the chamber of
Never Unlocked
In the realm of things touched
I remain untouched
Unkown
Reality holds no fascination for my eyes
I went blind when the hopscotch grid got washed away by the rain

I live
In the lucidity,
Of dreams
Undreamt
They say, "dance to the beat of your own drum",
but I'd rather dance
to the rhythm of your heart
my drum can only thud so long
as the steady beat of you
presses on
I now know why the universe does not distinguish the days
Any more than we would a grain of sugar in a jar
I have dreamt and in that dream I awoke
To the language of everything I did not understand
I heard in its muffled voice, an infinite joke
As I smelt the sea thousands of miles inland.
I slept and in that sleep I saw me, as I’d once been:
Transformed from the dead, and free from transgression
I swam garlanded in the sea, and renewed by its briny waves,
The days had stretched forever along the coast
But I did not know then that nothing would last
How every atom that was me would accelerate through a new host
And that only dreams and memories could transport me
Back to the tang of the sea that day, and the scent of blossom
Yet I think that I finally understand now the reticence of the stars
To tell not of a future but reflect only their past.
