Love isn't obsolete
but quite often gets wearied

I don't know what I wanted
I don't know why I wanted
Your words are wanted

I don't know what you wanted
I don't know why you wanted
My words were not wanted

I didn't know why I offered
I didn't want to offer
Your words made me offer

You didn't know what to offer
you didn't want to offer
My words didn't make you you offer
Words are my alcohol
I am the drunk fool

On a bastardly night with no restraint

I must write, until my hands are satisfied

And if it kills me, so be it

At least my words will live forever

As pure, holy ink on a page

The world supposedly requests us to be on the same time.

Icecapades and *** night joints council the high order

Routine inspection of under who's class?

Being upon two legs
I enjoy no guess in another's eyes
The time now is busy
It's gonna stay where I want it

Turmoil of the star that wasn't ready to prosecute.

Held up a ladder with an empty pale
While the dehydrated boy passed away

Silent films?

The back of the neck finds its passed due and collects the bribe itself

That's Ventura on calendar

None allow interrogation.
Respond to authority with signature of whereabouts

Verify lost life and all reason for abandon and sit.

I'm exited for Autumn I said
Not only for the apple or pumpkin pie
Not for the warm clothes or the cold morning air,
Nor the cinnamon swirling in the tea I prepare
Or the little raindrops that mess up my hair

It's when the skies turn gray
When the sun hides away
When the leaves fill our streets
Once clinging high on towering trees
Now naked, their branches weak
And in their barness, we meet

A tree is what I become
A tree is what I love to be

Leaves that once clung to me , I now lost
I chase them, even if I  detested how they felt
I weep believing they were mine to keep
Though old, letting poison in deep

And autumn knew what I failed to see
It's voice surrounding me:

Behold, don't cling to brittle lies
Now you have room to breath
Now you can grow to be green
Come the spring ,at last you'll see

Though I ache as the branches bend
I'll long for autumn again at the end

Tomorrow the sun will rise again
Such is the inevitable march of time
Brief is our time here
Especially in this hurried digital age
Proof of our existence only buoyed by those who whom are true to us
                                                                ­          as we hold them the closest
Even despite the grand shadow of our own self perception
The life I've lived, being so full of irony of it's own sort
The greatest being that I could never convey to you,
                                                                ­          nor to the world
The great fortune I found when I met you
Even if I could proclaim to this unworthy world,
                                                                ­           who would take notice?
How, when most of us know so little of ourselves,

                             much less from a man they've never met
                                     from a place they've never heard of
                                           about a love they couldn't hope to dream of
