off to bed

a hollow vessel

silent dreams

the body temple

moments made of moments

made of tread in a string

string in a seam

seam in a weave

wrapped in a reality

follow maps of a mentality

and then

sentiment sediment

settling fights with your head again

still alone? met a friend?

bone flesh skin

red against cold glass thin

being led gets old fast

holding on

hope the hold lasts in

my dreams

begin

I followed
sound waves
and found the time to find
gems in my mind cave when
I listened
then
in the dark I heard it glisten
heart-beat starts weak
echolocation
what's missing?

it's all coming back to me now
the walls around are closing in
walk long halls, tracking it down
another call
another heart

Some things

Some things are meant to last forever
Some things are meant to fade
Some things are meant to never happen
Some things are meant to change
Some things are meant to make you strong
Some things are just strange

Slur pee
I close my eyes and I can feel it,
Turning, turning, turning.
Ever so slowly, ever so quickly
Time is sticking and slipping.
Like the spiders on the ceiling
Who dance when I'm numb to feelings,
Swallowing pills to make me sleepy
I'm awake, but I think I'm dreaming.
Can you feel me?
Can you see me?
Am I just imaginary?
What are these scenes
That play on eyelid screens?
Can you hear me scream?
Silently, silently.

Close your eyes that burn,
My soul will find freedom.
While our crumbling earth
Still quickly, slowly turns.

Dream Girl
I looked at her
A dream girl to remember
A girl to love and
Hold my heart beating
So fast and quickly
Butterfly's inside
My soft stomach
I feel a feeling
Like never before
My heart is
In love with her in love
With a dream girl
My heart is smiling right now
A dream girl
O a dream girl
So magical
Her bright beauty
Has touched my
Lonely heart I'm in
Love with her
Like never before
But I'm saddened by
True love dream girl but
My heart draws a
Smile of pure utter
Happiness and love
If only my dream girl
Could stay forever
I'll be always in
Love with her forever
And ever until my
Heart smiles every day
O my beautiful dream girl.

You are a time I will never forget.
           once such a beautiful thing;
                             a lovely union
                             broken we became
                             formed different paths
                             drifted in different directions
                             No love is destined to last
                             No love is perfection
If ignorance is bliss,
then I am the sunshine
of a spotless mind.

If self-deception is peace,
then you are the moon
to my bare earth.

If a lie is the truth,
then we are the glimmer,
in the eyes of the blind.

If your love was wrong,
then I thank you
for ever making it feel so right.
A friend came to me,
and showed me some
genuine kindness.
I felt plastic.
My face wasn't right.
My pounds weighed heavily upon
my stone heart.
The alcohol
which brought some lies
in the form of false facade.
burnt away, thought the mask remained
She looked in my eyes
Smiling,
knowing.
I hate the knowing.
Because I know not myself.
And I know all too well.
It is disgusting.
I wanted to tell her everything.
As I bit my tongue
I understand
I interrupted
I'll think about it
I appreciate it.
I listen but don't hear
I can't.
My life story is a burden
I refuse to place on others
This weight I bear.
This depression, always in the back.
She had seen.
Naked. Raw. Open. Exposed. Defeated.
I feel at a loss.
When I know I should have won.
Someone irreplaceable.
Someone I should not love.
But show me that genuine kindness.
Understand. And I am done.
My gift is my curse.
My heart beats for no one.

We are twins
Finite & infinite
I'd like to direct
Your attention
To our souls
Summiting
Three Sisters
In bitter cold

I bathe in the dark
ocean
Of hair locked
In stare at jade
Cheekbone
Soul sewn
Skin to skin

pretend that you are
Sleeping next to me
Breathing next to me
multiplied and added powers
By the gleam of your laugh
