They call it:
foolish
idealistic
unrealistic

and dangerous...

I don't see what's the matter with that...

I am:
foolish
idealistic
unrealistic

and dangerous.

So please... let me be.

Allow me to dream...
If only
Because I know you can't
Is it just I who gets that anxious, squirming
Sensational feeling? Like creativity suppressed—
But by what? My faults? The fates? My own self
For I cannot convey how positively debilitating,
Paralyzing, transfixing—
I don’t want to live in subdued twilight,
Sedated by my own ideas of inabilities,
But who or what, or what in me
Can prevent even the faintest of hindrances
From annihilating the depth of my inspirational understanding…
I’m yet to discern any of the undetectable barriers
Or is it that—metaphysics?
So engrossed, preoccupied, wearied by what
The idea that there’s something
Anything at all, preventing the finesse
As here I cogitate
Dimensions past me...

We all crave
Symmetry
Balance
and
Purity
In this world so
Twisted
Sullied
and
Chaotic

As l lay down
It's like the world stopped spinning
The stars stayed in place
We rolled around
We laughed
We smiled
We yelled
I got more comfortable
I miss your smell
I miss your face
I miss your touch
I held you close
So close
So close
I pricked myself
My little rose
