Perhaps one day
the ink that I

Will form into a puddle
for you to jump into,
Only then will you know
Everything I write
is soaked in devotion
for you.
You're the reason I still write.

Weighted steel tugged by gravity,
A mile above this tranquil house–
its payload designed so carefully–
is yet unreleased from the mouth,
for there is danger involved:
I’ve hung Pandora’s box
And it, wont to fall,
Damns as it drops.
slowly swells desire–
a bloodlust is taking hold
for a world entombed in Fire.
The image of a once happy home
Brought with only a directed word
to dissolve into shadowed foundation,
Encouraged by petty quarrels endured,
Matures to become a palpable creation –
resentment resides within every thought
and fiery images are fanned ‘til they fuse
In a flash into sound, suddenly brought
On a table within a voluminous brew
of word, sentence, and ireful mind,
And the room is left in silence.
In the wake I stand, alone,
uttering penitence.

how did we fall here,
to this exact place -
this exact idea,
spun into our heads, like yarn,
like your hair, a flapping mess in the wind,
little strands, eager to keep up.

how did this floor beneath our tousled bodies,
keep us together, like it was meant,
like it was supposed to

how did our hearts explode into little sparks
of suns and stars,
and tears?
how did they know to explode
like the ticking of a time bomb?

how did our hearts find love
            i just want to know -
it's an empty morning, I have not found the will to move from this bed. My limbs are aching, everything is aching.

He came,
He got,
He forgot.
I gave,
I forgave,
I could not forget,
I became pregnant.
Men can get away but women have to face the consequences

Roses are red, Violets are blue,
That's what they say, but it really isn't true.
Roses are red, and apples are too.
But violets are violet, not really blue.
Oranges are orange, but Greenland's not green.
A pinky's not pink, so what does it mean?
To call something blue when it's not is to defile it,
But what the heck, it's hard to rhyme with 'violet'

As love's birds ..

let's kiss each other now ...
and we can talk later ...
if we got a time ...
let's do babe ...
as lover's birds do ...
however they feel ...
and whenever they got time ...

let's learn from birds ...
how sweet that love...
how love should be ...
and how we could make it ...
let's do babe ...
as they do ...
silently with no words ...
get more close ...
just smell me now ...
and touch my lips ...
to talk both ..
with now words ...

sweetheart mine ...
my lovely bird you are ...
come my tree ...
here to my heart ...
to sing together ...
our love's song ...
here ...
at our tree's love ...

I want a right path
I want a new path
I need a great book
I need a guidebook
I'd know the Almighty God.

I should find a king
who is the King of kings
I'd follow a messenger
who's the Leader of messengers
Then I won't be sad.

I'd make a perfect life
I'd make a bright life
I need a skylight
I need a den of light
I'd know the Merciful Lord.

I would go to Heaven
I'd better go to Heaven
I need to find my Creator
I'd know my best lover
Then I'd believe in only One God.

i can't breathe... I'm
clutching my chest trying to
stay off the floor
5 ticks, 6 ticks
7 ticks, 8
how could he...why couldn't
he just learn to appreciate..
what he had.
what he had.
me. me.
i can't breathe.
BUSY. stay busy.
count again. again.
1 click, 2 clicks
3 clicks, 4
my heart is beating
my chest is sore
count. count.
please keep counting.
stay busy.

my knees are weakened
and my vision's filled with hate
9 taps, 10 taps
11 taps and 12
12...12.... what comes after 12?
13. right. 13.
13....14....15...16...
do you think he'll even miss me?

i.


there are days
when my stars
align just for me.


my inner cosmos
telling me to write
about the pain.


my inner cosmos
telling me to expand
the universe within.


ii.


there are days
when my stars
collapse.


i am made of pure
darkness.


i am made of pure
anxiety—


terrified of not seeing
the sun again.


iii.


there are days
when my stars
rise—


like the infinite suns
that they are.


illuminating my being.

My heart is nothing too you
You held it with your trembling hands
Careful as to not hold too tight
I held yours carefully too

However you held too loose
Your grip weakened and let my heart slip right through
The ****** chunk of flesh fell without excuse

You let it break and shatter
All the memories and love I stored
Splattered across every wall in front of us
To you my heart didn't matter
