I have nearly infinite wisdom,
The only thing I've yet to learn,
Is how to use it.

Such confusion alludes to the heart of the matter,
What matters the most is the loveliest banter,
Brief talks between stars that sound near but so far,
You cannot discern from the clamor,
The noise that trades thought,
To all empty and dark,
Dreams that sing to the world that it staggers,
And should it soon fall,
It will take us all,
If only we'd think that it matters.

she stood at the top of the stairs
and smiled
the way the sun hangs above the earth
and creates life in all of its wonderful forms
warm and everlasting

and everything that breathes
thanks the sun for all it brings
in that same way
does she even know how my heart sings
illuminated by the corners of her mouth
how my bones echo her laughter
then resonates with the blood in my veins

how would the ocean thank the moon
for the way gravity brings motion
and currents that circle the globe
spread warmth
fueling life

all i can do
is show you the way you light me up
and hope that you see me
in the glow that hearts do bask in

i walk
wandering among the stars
and starlight to have framed
placed upon the brim of hearts' memories
if just to love the strain

the strings that pull us together
from so very far away
are the same ones that tear us apart
and plague the minds' array

binary stars in orbit
while black holes lie in wait
radiation forms a silent storm
space metaphors are lame

If the universe is constantly expanding,
That means that I am too,
And soon my heart will grow big enough to hold you,
The entire world composed of you and I.

Our eyes that met across a galaxy,
When stars did portend their alignment,
As we were joined,
A quantum fixation,
Against a somnolent summer sky.

Now we can travel,
At the speed of heartbreak,
The only universal constant.

Surreptitiously
Quiet words fall from your mouth
Please don't ever stop

Lets walk together through the rain,
It's falling like brats and hogs out there,
That would wash away our innocence with sweaty disgust,
Impaled the beauty in what we thought we saw,
Sought by those that hold the intangible.

Floor it,
We're getting out of here this time,
And with blinding lights leading us,
Put your hand in mine and let me know we have faith,
That this infernal machine isn't running smoothly,
So where we're going isn't where we're going to wind up.

Because this love game is hard to keep gassed up,
But with every look from your eye,
I can fuel my heart so that what burns black bleeds bright,
Baby we can keep this going all night.

I am a silky sky,
And silver linings around dark clouds,
That washed in from the shore of my subconscious.

Necessity birthed the invented man,
A charade,
Puppets on strings dance a cliched canter,
Feet in socks with strings as shoes,
Tightening around,
That act as a noose.

That I might not be touching ground,
Was never my inclination,
As I float five feet above the earth,
And falling surely wasn't part of the plan either.
