Take one breath at a time
Adorn each piece with a chime
Let hearts beat in sync
As feathers in air must sink!

Take one step at a time
Bless a beggar with a dime
For so do hearts entwine
Like broken glasses of wine!

Take one day at a time
Grace each line with a rhyme
For so do poems ferment
When pens and papers cement!*

Cherish every moment of life,
As it could be your last!
i’m boy with broken jaw
my face and flesh of citrus
fingers dripping resolute

by weight of sweetened tendon
the motion to which i descend
i last resort upon thy tenderloin gloss

touching me under sublunary breath
he melts darkness to sugarfisted ******
i taste of all he ever wanted

it’s a dirtyparadise out here behind the neon nickelcade
day-glo slithering below my belly
just ten bucks, and you’ll get your turn

As a witness to the world,
I fear our days are few,
I try to live each moment to its fullest
However my mind goes askew.

There's a force, yes!
That's keeping me alive,
A vision, a moment,
I'm striving for, every time.

I see it, yes I do!
Your there in my arms.
We're running, we're dancing,
It's love by far  -

Yet again, I imagine every test,
Every run, every show, and
Every milestone,
Will all bring me closer to you.

Should I live every moment,
Or speed up time?
I don't know what to do?

All I know is,
I just want to be with you.
Love is the hardest multiple choice question ever. Which path do you take?
We are only here to die.
All the blood sweat and tears you put into running your first marathon
That award winning book you wrote that captured the heart of millions of children
All the money that you won from winning the lottery...
Means nothing.
It all means nothing.
All of this...

Means nothing.

We are only here to die.
But it's the preparation that decides
What will happen after life.
The choices that you make in life will decide your fate after life

Which is death.
At first,
my words
enter my mind slowly,
giving me a chance
to formulate
a real-romance.
It's the way I like
to start a written-piece,
so thirsty to inspire,
to build,
a fire in you.

Then I begin
to speed up some,
to dribble hot-metaphors,
open closed doors.
Sometimes
my flow of diatribe
is disjointed,
but most times,
I'm perfectly clear,
flowing descriptive verse,
'cause nothing is worse
than an interruption
of the spirit.

Once I get started,
I build my thoughts
a lot quicker,
losing my mind,
the tempo drives
me totally insane,
to the very brink
of an explosion
of my soul.

It's all I can do
to hold back,
to go back to slowly,
trying to regulate
my escalated state
of these heightened-feelings.

When I try to slow
things down to a crawl,
it gives me a bit
more time
to think,
to think of ways that
play further
on your desirous-mind.

Then again,
the pace increases,
the mental-friction does heat up
& I am quickly overwhelmed,
driving you wild like this.

You should see
the smile on my face
when my rapid
spurts of sensuous thoughts
get penned to paper,
I give you
all of my heart.
I follow the
constellations above,
intrigued with images of you
I have emblazoned,
etched deeply into my mind.
They tempt me,
excite me to untold ecstasies
& I am lost,
remain high
on a mountain of sand,
crawling
on my hands and knees,
seeking a path to please you,
to release
the two of us,
to explode
into a new galaxy,
spiraling
in each other's arms.

I am driven
by your seduction,
you have stolen my soul
& I thought
you should,
might like to know
what you do to me.
