I wish i could capture the way you look at me
And cram it into a frame
So that i could wake up feeling
Beautiful, every single day.

A poet in love
is like an arsonist
With a match in his hand.

You cascade over me like a waterfall

You were my best drug
I would always take you in
Antidepressant.

A mirror
constantly
in the state
of not knowing.
It only
Reflects
from the
outside...

Pure awareness
constantly
in the state
of knowing.
It reflects
Itself
In
Itself*...

                      way you imagined.

3 ~     Life does not come
                       with a reboot option.

                       under manufacturer's warranty.

5 ~     Everything comes with a
                       shelf life, including
                       relationships.

6 ~    Nothing is permanent.
                       Nothing comes free.
                       Why pay for temporary
                        illusions.

                        At least they tried.

8 ~      You only live once
                         till you die once.

                         compulsion. Don't let
                         sorrow choose you.

10 ~    Sometimes lose everything.
                         You realize your worth.
