Quiet mind, immersed
in palest, warmest yellow.

Molecules within
find alignment
with infinity.

Silvery mercurial fluid
paints my bones
with gentle light.

You have come back.

Abundantly, warm salt
water envelopes me.

Even in this chair,
in this empty room.

On dry land.

Solaces
The five of them were ready.   Below the overcast they flew elegantly in formation.  Armed with weapons that would soon burn away all life on this Planet.  So that they may start all over.  They were not of this world.  But had been living in it for over 300 years.  At last the time had come to completely rid all life here.   They flew above the overcast and into the blue sky.  The sun shined above.  It was there they were met by a strange being.  The sun above was no sun at all.  But the very being that waited for them. His armor glowed and shine like the sun giving the illusion that there were two suns in the sky.  He then spoke.  " I know what you are going to try to do.  These people do not deserve to die like that.  You had a chance with your planet and you chose to destroy it.  You can choose to leave now and find peace elsewhere. Or die in these skies."  One of the five fired the weapon of mass destruction at the sun shining being.  There was a magnificent explosion in the sky that opened a hole in the overcast below.  The explosion then almost seem to vacuum into the sword the being had unsheathed.  The sword glowed all colors with the energy it consumed from the attack.  The being then seem to move like light bouncing off a mirror.  The other four had no idea their companion was already dead and falling back down to the surface. They then watched in horror as their companion seem to turn to ash before hitting the surface. It was then they decided to leave and hope to find peace elsewhere.  S-DIVERS
Watchers of the universe
Tightly
I embraced you
As tightly as the sky embraces the sun
But
You slipped away
And disappeared
Just as the sun slips out of the sky's embrace
And disappears beyond the horizon
But
You left me with something
A feeling
Of nothingness
Just as the sun leaves a darkness within the sky
But
Within my nothingness
Are memories
They are bright and full of warmth
Just as within the sky's nothingness
There are stars
But
Memories aren't enough
I need you
To make my world brighter
Just as the stars aren't bright enough
And the sun is needed to brighten our world
I need you

I move kind of slow
And I'm not sure why
I do not know

Perhaps it is
The repetitiveness
Of this absurd show

Nowhere to rush
Nowhere to go

There was
A woman
At the gym

So strong and ****
Who deadlifts
Almost as twice as me

Kind and compassionate
What could be wrong
About breastfeeding
From her

All day long

I don't mean
To look
At ******
And pornographic
Images on the internet

But because I have
Never had a girlfriend
My needs are never met

Better not to dream
Of caring or
Loving women at all

I'll always be alone
Oh the misery of it all

chimaera
je veux te voir,
et si ta voix
me le disait un jour,
je veux te voir,
que de déserts
je m'en ferais revenir,
au mirage de ton regard!
hélas, mon ombre
s'est éprise de moi
et toi, tu ne le sauras pas,
que moi, je te l'aurais dit,
je veux te voir.
