I didn't want you,
I wanted love
and I have realised
that they are not the same thing.

You were a mould
that I poured my insecurities in,
a computer I tried to program.

But you are a sky,
stormy and clear and rainy and warm.

You were so blue when I longed for red.

I didn't want you.
I wanted the thought.

Disintegrate

Unmoved the pages

Stilled in a frame

Threadbare, the words disappear

knowledge is

you don't own the things you know

i need to stop
setting myself on fire
to keep you warm.

i keep burning for you.

All The Way To Mars

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Dance beneath the magic moon and listen to the flute
the stars will spangle brightly and then render you a mute
Twirl around the trees feel the brush of wind against your skin
the music of the forest has bounce it lives and breathes within
Bap Bap boom boom boom bap goes the sound of the rain
let it trickle down your face and take away your pain
life a technicolor beat in every note pure heaven
twisty water waves that flow with ascension
the music of the nymphs will take you higher than the stars
mayhap it will just guide you, all the way to Mars
