I wish I could have told you before—
That all of your problems stacked up
is less than the distance
you jumped from.
(The last words you heard were the whispers of concrete)
September Nov 2015
It doesn't matter
what you tell me
and what I tell you.

You could be mine
and I could be yours
but twenty three days of silence
could write a lot more love letters
than us.
September May 2013
The atoms of which the sun consists
lays upon the land
who can only resist.

No, indeed, I must insist!
The story is etched into murky water and mist:

Oh, the sinking sun—with a twist—
setting on someone
who did never exist.

Love preservation—
On the metal of the time capsule sits:
a seed.

clothes got soaked in rain.
dont know why i expected
them to smell like salt.
hail, sleet, and snow.

too broke to travel the world so you travel your mind instead.
you can put beautiful words to bad decisions but
it's still a ******* bad decision.
you don't love yourself, you just lie to yourself.

Yellow bird
flew into
my eye.

Made a nest of
My mind.

I am still finding
Feathers.
Haven't you ever met that certain type of person that never leaves, even when they're gone?
September Nov 2012
You are the child of
Wine and the Giza Pyramids—
Slanted intoxication.

You are the sibling of
Your grand;
Golden as he sings melodies
made of cheap whiskey.

You are the uncle of
The reborn generation,
"I accept everyone except those who do not,"
They said.
Pretentious, yes.

But worry not, for
This is not a talk show
You are not sitting in a plush chair,
An audience at your eyes.
You are not the father.
You are only the production. You are not the maker.

When I am writing I am thinking of you
When I am thinking of you I am thinking of you
When I am breathing I am

Always.

Roller coaster plane ride
Nose dives into the ocean in my mind and all that's still on it is
You.

The clouds part like seas for Moses upon our inevitable arrival once again. I can see angels being hung by twine. The sky ran away from his kingdom to vacation upon the Earth. The soil soul rubs into his toes.

You are not an earthly being trapped in the clouds. You're heavenly gold bound to earth.

You're an opposite. A composite.
3 days, I believe?

Proximity does not lead to permissivity
Another day goes by right next to you
Another day we forget to speak
September Jul 2013
solemn day out at sea
when even words
won't talk to me.
you never had to agree.
you never had to agree.

even after a hundreds years of abandonment,
people still will visit ruins.
Keep your chin up, you ruin.
September Jun 2015
Read, and regurgitate—review and reiterate—perceive and perpetuate—
Agitate the invertebrate—
Spineless, mindless,
     your body is a mess.
Your finest has blindness but he still could pass a test—only of literacy, of liberty,
     of mystery and misery.
We don't possess the ability in the end
     to comprehend.
September Apr 2015
people die when we forget that they're alive in our minds
your memory is haunting me
September Jan 2013
You*

       Don't
                  Remember
                                ­      Me.
                    Faraway.
                          ­            So
                                              Last­
                                                        Time:
  ­                      Don't come home.
Well this has been in my drafts for about... a year. And now I finally remember why.

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do

We went for soup and I got salad.

People walk by in the airport.

People walk.
I wait.

People wait.
I walk.
The title was my hotel's wifi password.
September May 2012
Your absence, a petty guilt,
threw daggers from the inside my my mind.
A personal demon dragged up from Hell to replace you.
He picked up your old ****** needles.

Put them to good use on me.
September Sep 2014
you said you wanted my lips
and i laughed at the way you worded it
and the way you thought
you didn't have them already.
almost as if
we haven't been speaking
our entire lives.
almost as if
you weren't even listening
to every word i gave to you
