Poets are lonesome cactus vendors
In whose palms grow hurtful ascenders
From having to peel colored wonders
To those who dread thorny fruits - the dwellers -
With too many cores inside.

XXXIII.
There was the Door to which I found no Key:
There was the Veil through which I could not see:
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There was - and then no more of Thee and Me.
Silencio
Words turn meaningless
Swallowed by stillness
In this dark place hidden from life
Where responsibility doesn't reign
Creativity fell asleep
Not dancing
Ankles shackled down to the floor
When did emptiness become so heavy?
Give me a rhythm piper
Spin me alive
Storm my senses
Shake up this bottled up feeling
Make this darkness explode with
Constellations

For now I will continue on my fours
Been trying to work on a very important project, something that took years for me to develop. But now that it is so near to coming into life I start feeling so awfully uninspired. Just staring at the floor in the library hoping that thoughts will finally start flowing
I'm still in love with a girl I used to know. The one I would wake up and see everyday. She was so cool, and hilarious.
She loved having one hand on the wheel while the other held a cigarette.

She wasn't afraid of anything, or expressing herself which she did through pixie cuts and hair dye.

It's just hair, it'll grow back. she would laugh when people would look at her with wide eyes.

Men loved her. You could see it in their face, when they stared as she spoke, and tried to figure out where this girl came from.
Everywhere she went, she left her mark.

She isn't so easy to find anymore.
She let the world get in.
But sometimes I still see her with one hand on the wheel, a smoke in the other;
chasing the sun.

Ah, Moon—and Star!
You are very far—
But were no one
Farther than you—
Do you think I’d stop
For a Firmament—
Or a Cubit—or so?

I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark—
And a Chamois’ Silver Boot—
And a stirrup of an Antelope—
And be with you—Tonight!

But, Moon, and Star,
Though you’re very far—
There is one—farther than you—
He—is more than a firmament—from Me—
So I can never go!
