i've been so bent          &               backwards       lately,                           i've come to learn the world           through tighter frames       so as to not s li p out every            chance i                                         *                                    g e t.

his voice
is night
hungover
from long binges
and hearty upchucks
large lump-sums
of bright pinks and soft reds
- i think i might just love him-
what could be so wrong,
with so very little     *fun.
what could be so wrong

leave me be
       with the toxicity of my thoughts
breathe me humble into the blades of the night
dream me pure through the comforts of my words,
on this night i feel deep within the roughs of his voice,
southern charmed beneath my lobes, on this night,
i heard his noise in my thoughts and indeed, he did
                 sing to me,
great poems of comfort
i'm falling real soft, into his night

(if i parentheses you)
this
(and)
that
(separate of the pillars that bowl past heavy tonsils
maybe it'd seem as though heaven was closer
and the nuzzle that triggers tiny slips and
flicks against the pulse of my fingers would come alive
behind large bulbs and very tiny eyes,
much too small to fully engulf mild realities wild
on the bottoms of tough poison, mulct philomaths'
raffishly spatting at loose tongues,
how dare they tell me)
this
(and)
that
(and never)
the other.
(if i parentheses you)
this
(and)
that
(would it count to you, dear scholar,
as a structured poem properly scrolling
down the braces of my spine?)
it's been awhile.

"I believe I believe. I should write a little less and live a little more," each day, I say, but then again, I find myself back to old habits, again and again, the world sure does look nice, from my vantage point, although I've yet to see it.
A girl told me she loved my bracelets and proceeded to ask where I got them from. I told her Jamaica, Puerto Rico, etc. She sighed, saying she'd love to travel some day. I told her, 'go.'

how much longer
do i need
to write
before i begin to feel the
serenity of
stillness
shower the imbalance
that my fingers
continues to struggle against,
and the pounding in my chest that just
won't stop,
i'd really like to know just how
fast
my hands need to move and how quick
my mind needs to
b r e a k apart and i'm so tired of-
of feeling clumps of ice clenching against my temple,
i need to misplace that pulse into the point of my pen,
tell me,
how much longer do i need to write,
before i can mute,
pain.
grief,
is a shadowed white blanket that covers me,
yet,
i've lost no one,
how much longer,
must i
write.
i hate the title, i hate the poem, especially the end augh god **** writing

it looks like
a summer's day, feels like a winter's
night, tastes like a spring's song,
sweet honey tripping from the tentacles of a
lover's dripping
hair.
i'm trying something a new.  a bit softer. -unfinished-
